KU's new stadium addition and concession system will get their first real test at handling a capacity crowd when KU meets MU here Saturday.
A record crowd of more than 45,000 people is expected to pack the newly enlarged stadium for the seventy-second KU-Missouri football game.
MU-KUFootball Game To Draw Record Crowd
PRECARIOUS POSITION—Library workmen were using a 30-foot aluminum scaffold this week to cut openings for the air-conditioning outlets in the reference room ceiling of Watson Library. Limited space between the finished ceiling and the above floor made the scaffold necessary. Workmen are shown measuring the location of an opening.

The standing record for the largest crowd attending a KU home game is 41,500. It was set at the 1949 KU-MU contest.
VICE CHANCELLOR Keith Lawton said no more extraordinary precautions are being taken for this year's game than have been taken for past KU-MU contests.
Acting chief Willard Anderson of the KU Traffic and Security Division said, "We're hoping that there won't be any trouble, but we've got to be prepared."
"As far as the goal posts are concerned," Capt. Anderson said, "I think the two dogs will take care of them all right."
Remick said there would probably be crowding at stands, although extra personnel have been added to the concessions staff. He said there are not enough existing stands to handle such a large crowd as rapidly as people might like.
Earl Falkenstein, athletic business manager, said at 5 p.m. last night less than 100 tickets remain to be sold.
CHIEF BILL COX of the Lawrence Police Department said, "We don't anticipate any great amount of trouble." He said there would be adequate numbers of policemen to handle the expected heavy traffic.
The KU and Lawrence Police, Pinkerton guards, and State High-
Patrol will be reinforced to handle the large crowd, he said.
Kevin Remick, KU concessions manager, said he is anticipating cold weather for Saturday, although local forecasters have predicted the temperature to be in the 60's.
"WE'RE BEEFING UP on the hot items like coffee and hot dogs," Remick said. "We're predicting cold weather, but you can never tell; it may be pretty warm."
As of 10 p.m. last night, all but two of Lawrence's 11 motels and hotels were full. The two with vacancies had one room each.
A spokesman at the State Highway Patrol Headquarters in Topeka said that 20 men have been assigned to aid local officers.
"We reviewed the weather conditions of the past ten KU-MU games and the way people bought at those games," Remick said. "Our prediction is based on a composite of those conditions."

Outgoing Members of ASC Establish Intramural Board
IN REMARKS made before he left the ASC last night, Marvin said Gaines' withdrawal should not have been considered by the ASC elections committee because ballots in the counting room had already been stacked by a computing machine.
An All Student Council intramural board was established last night as the last major piece of legislation by the outgoing members.
All but the 10 school representatives were replaced on the ASC by the 28 incoming living district representatives after the old business.
The intramural board will co-ordinate the three existing intramural programs and work for increased intramural participation.
"Gaines was forced to withdraw through political pressure when it leaked out that ballot stacks indicated he would win," Marvin said. "I object to such conduct and that's why I withdrew."
Represented on the newly created board will be the men's intramural program, the Women's Recreation Association and the Student Union Activities intramural program.
THE BILL, introduced by Bob Tieszen, Newton senior, and Dan Wanamaker, Salina junior, was passed without dissent.
Tieszen said the board could schedule activities of the three intramural programs to avoid conflicts among them.
Marvin's withdrawal followed that of Gene Gaines, Joplin, Mo., senior, a write-in candidate. Gaines is a member of a fraternity affiliated with UP and much of his support came from fraternity men living in the unmarried-unorganized district.
Charles Marvin told the All Student Council last night he withdrew as an ASC candidate last week because of pressure put on an opponent to also withdraw.
He added his remarks did not reflect upon Vinay Kothari, Bombay, India, senior and UP candidate, and Walter Bgoya, Tanganyika junior and write-in candidate, both of whom were elected. Omitted in this comment were the two Vox Populi winners, Brian Grace and Mike Miner, Lawrence seniors.
Marvin, Lawrence senior, was a University Party candidate in the unmarried-unorganized district. He was one of six students—including two write-in candidates—running for the four seats in that district.
ASC Candidate Cites Pressure In Withdrawal
Tieszen said last night five complaints filed with the committee have been dismissed. Foremost among them was a complaint by Dean Peer, McPherson freshman and class president candidate, that Jim Aust, Lawrence freshman, announced at a freshman women's residence hall he was a candidate for the post on the "Vox coalition."
"I TALKED WITH Gaines about eight hours while we were together Thursday night waiting to learn the results in our district." Grace said, "and the topic of withdrawal may have been one of many we discussed. But to say that Marvin's opinion concerning the withdrawal of Gaines is stilted is being exceptionally charitable."
Bob Tieszen, Newton senior and elections committee chairman, said the committee felt that Gaines had a right to withdraw anytime before he was declared elected.
Aust was winner of the freshman class president election.
Tieszen said his committee could find no basis for prosecution.
Grace denied after the ASC meeting he pressured Gaines to withdraw.
Greg Turner, Seattle, Wash, senior, said the board could also stimulate increased intramural participation.
BEFORE STEPPING down, the old ASC also approved amendments to three bills and rejected a proposed amendment to the ASC's constitution.
Salaries of the Jayhawker yearbook editor and business manager were increased from $650 to $1,000 and the maximum bonuses allowed them were decreased from $500 to $250, effective this year.
Also approved was an amendment introduced by Peggy Conner, Sacramento, Calif., senior, to require the elections committee to announce in campus newspapers the availability of applications for ASC and class offices.
Wanamaker, who introduced the two amendments to the publications bill at the Nov. 5 ASC meeting, said the higher salaries would approximate the amount of athletic scholarships.
DEFEATED WAS an amendment to the constitution, submitted by Miss Conner, which would require a two-thirds majority of the council members to be present before business could be transacted.
Under new business—and with the
new council members installed—Muss Conner introduced a second constitutional amendment, which would require a majority vote of elected ASC members on legislation, instead of a majority of those present.
Brian Grace, Lawrence senior, introduced three amendments to bills which would start ASC meetings weekly instead of twice monthly, unseat any council member who misses four meetings and require representatives to live in the district they represent.
Sandra Garvey, St. Louis senior,
introduced a number of amendments to the bill creating the secretarial committee.
IN OTHER BUSINESS. the ASC;
The decision was appealed by Greg Swartz, Topeka junior, whose large men's residence hall district lacked eight votes from expanding from five to six seats.
- Uphold a decision of the elections committee, which ruled last week that only valid ballots could be counted in determining the number of seats entitled a living district in elections.
- Awarded a $500 bonus to Tom Tatlock, Wichita senior, and Jerry Pullins, Council Grove senior, editor and business manager of the 1963 Jayhawker. The bonuses were recommended by the Jayhawker Advisory Board.
Iraqi Youths Seize Embassy in London
LONDON — (UPI) — Iraqi students shouting "down with Aref" and "down with Nasser" stormed the Iraq Embassy in London today and staged a sit-in.
The students and a number of embassy officials who declared themselves against the new Iraqi government of President Abdul Salam Aref seized control of the building.
Embassy Press Attache Hashim Al-Rubaie claimed the Baath Party and Baathist Army officers are now "in full control" in Baghdad.
AL-BUBAIE, who went to the embassy after the students forced their way into the building said he received the information that the Baathists were back in power in a telephone call from Baghdad about 2 p.m. (9 a.m. EST).
Rock Chalk Revue winners will have larger trophies to lug home with them this winter.
THE PRESS ATTACHE said a meeting was in progress in the presidential palace in Baghdad among Premier Ahmed Hassan Bakr, Defense Minister Maj. Gen. Saleh Mahdi Ammash, and other Baathist leaders.
"The man I spoke to, who is a military officer at the presidential palace, said that the Baathists and the Baathist Army officers are in full control," Al-Rubaiie said.
Revue Trophies To be Larger
Tom Woods, Arkansas City junior and Rock Chalk business manager, said last night three four-foot high trophies have been purchased for winners of the Feb. 28-29 show. Trophies last year were 34 inches high.
Two of the trophies are for the winning team, the third is the traveling trophy, which can be retired by a group winning the Revue three times in five years.
First drafts of Rock Chalk skis are due Dec. 6, and final drafts Dec. 20. Announcement of the four teams in the final competition will be announced Jan. 6.
"They are going to have a statement tonight." Al-Rubaie said.
There have been no reports from Baghdad about the present where-abouts of either Bakr or Ammash.
The approximately 300 Iraqi students forced their way into the Iraqi embassy and then sat in the entrance lobbies, on staircases and in offices of the building, effectively seizing control.
Al-Rubaie was a leader of the group and helped the students take over the embassy.
The students, displaying banners with inscriptions "Down with Aref," "Down with (U.A.R. President Gamal Abdel Nasser," and "Long Live the Baath Socialist Party," chanted Iraqi national songs.
Outside, police stood by, apparently helpless.
THE PRESS ATTACHE said the police could not enter the embassy, which has extra-territorial status.
One of the officers said, "You tell me what goes on there. We have no idea what will happen."
The press attache said the ambassador, along with most of his counselors and mission staff, had "conveniently" been taken ill. They were not at the embassy and apparently were staving at home.
He said several other members of the mission were fighting with him against the new regime, namely the assistant press attache, the assistant military attache, and the cultural attache.
One student leader, 21-year-old Isam Alchalabi, who is majoring in engineering at London University, said: "We got in here and we are going to stay here, if necessary, indefinitely."
Weather
Despite a cold wave moving in from Canada, Kansas is enjoying a period of mild temperatures. The weathermen predict low temperatures tonight will be in the 30's, with the high tomorrow in the 50's.
The cold wave, moving southward and eastward across the Rocky Mountains, brought temperatures below zero to northern Idaho and western Montana.
