LAWRENCE, KANSAS
I WANNA' BE EVIL -Isabel Bolin, fine arts sophomore, will give a rendition of that theme as a feature of the Jayhawk Follies, which will be presented Friday night in Hoch auditorium.
Follies Feature to Be Alum at Homecoming
"This is the story of a little alum—a lonely sort of a guy—who thought homecoming might give him a lift—at least he thought he'd try."
Philadelphia —(U.P.)— Arnold Johnson wants to confer again with his attorneys but he's "still optimistic" that he'll be able to buy the Philadelphia Athletics and move them to Kansas City.
GOP, Democrats Campaign Centered in 11 Key States
With these words, the 1954 Jay-3 hawk Follies will be off on its musical tracing of the alum who returned for homecoming.
$240 Wasted on Post Cards
An Editorial-
In fact, the ridiculous "post card brigade" may even have cost KU what small chance it had for a victory over its intrastate rival.
Johnson, Chicago realtor who heads a Kansas City group, said he would discuss the admittedly "confused" situation with his attorney in Chicago "to look over the situation and make a final decision," but he refused to outline what decision he was considering. There were reports he is considering revising his $3,375,000 offer for the franchise.
With the very worthwhile Campus Chest campaign coming up next week, it would seem that these $240 could have been saved for the valuable contribution they could have made as a kickoff to the drive.
Kansas fans sent some 12,000 post cards to Kansas State college last week, an expenditure of $240, but the K-State football team proved that such things just won't win foot ball games.
Johnson, K.C. Group 'Optimistic' on A's
The student talent show will start at 8:45 p.m., following the freshman varsity basketball game at 7 p.m. Friday in Hoch auditorium. The show follows the alum through all the events, from his arrival on campus to the stadium for the big game.
The only good thing about the entire post card fiasco is that the desired goal of 60,000 post cards was not reached. That would have been an outlay of $1,200 wasted dollars.

Auctioneer Crafton Chants Doom of Faculty Members
By MARGOT BAKER
Going, going, gone!
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy sold to the Delta Gamma's for $30 as housemother.
Laurence Woodruff, dean of students, sold as a hou. ega for $62.50.
Ted Cox, campus policeman and F. C. "Phog" Allen, basketball coach, sold as waiters to the Sigma Kappa's for $47.
Miss Martha Peterson, dean of women, sold as a phone girl to AOPH for $20; Miss Marg Peg Hardman, assistant dean of women, sold as housemother to Kappa Kappa Gamma for $20.
And a quartet of singing waiters,
consisting of Clayton Krehbiel, assistant professor in music education;
Keith Lawton, administrative assistant to the chancellor; Reinhold Schmidt, professor of voice, and Charles Oldfather, associate professor of law, sold to Albuha Phi for $71.
That's how the bidding went Friday night at the Faculty Follies, with Allen Crafton, professor of speech, as auctioneer.
Sam Anderson, instructor in German and Russian, in full clan plaid, played a solo on the bagpipes.
Shirley Hughes, instructor in physical education, did a modern dance interpretation of "The Little Shoemaker," followed by Ruth and Charles Dodrill, instructors in speech and drama, in a scene from "Born Yesterday."
The singing waiters quartet performed in true barbershop style and provided a little comedy relief.

STIFF UPPER LIP MAN—It's not as bad as it looks in this picture of the Rev. Dale Turner, professor of religion, who looks slyly pleased at the prospect of cutting off Allen Crafton's hand at Friday night's Faculty Follies.
Chinese Island Bombed by Reds
Taipei, Formosa —(U.P.)— Swarms of Chinese Communist planes bombed tiny Tachen island today in the first aerial attack against an island held by Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek since the fall of China.
The Nationalist Defense Ministry, which announced the attacks, said the Communists dropped more than 40 bombs, and claimed one Red plane was shot down.
The Nationalist garrison on the tiny island, 300 miles north of Quemoy, was alerted for a possible invasion. Military sources on Formosa have expressed fears that Tachen might be the first on the Communist invasion list.
Chinese Communist MIGs have been reported over Tachen, Chiang's northernmost outpost, in increasing numbers in the past few weeks.
Red artillery on Toumen, a small island just north of Tachen, also shelled the Nationalists for four hours today, a spokesman said. The shelling was described as heavy.
There was no activity reported at Quemoy, where the Reds opened a "little war" Sept. 3 with a roaring barrage of artillery.
Today's bombing coincided with the visit to Formosa of Maj. Gen. Roger M. Ramey, commander of the U.S. 5th Air Force. He is making a three-day inspection of Nationalist air power.
Gen. Ramey said his trip had nothing in particular to do with the promised turnover of American Sabre jets to the Nationalist Air Force.
Indian Heads Graduate Club
Shanti Tangi, graduate student from India, was elected president of the newly organized graduate club at its second meeting Friday night.
At the meeting, the constitution was amended and accepted. The only major change made in the original draft of the constitution was that the club be an independent organization instead of being under auspices of the YMCA and YWCA.
Other officers elected are William Allaway, graduate, vice president; Molly Kelly, graduate, secretary; Barbara Tildesley, research associate in chemistry, treasurer; Jonathan Horner, graduate, and Edmond Loewe, research assistant in governmental research, members-at-large.
Washington — (U.P.) — Democratic campaign strategists based their Senate victory claims today on the belief they can hold what they have and pick up Republican seats in Kentucky, New Jersey, Wyoming, and Nevada, in tomorrow's balloting.
That outcome would give them 50 of the 96 Senate seats when the 84th Congress convenes Jan. 5.
Republican chances of maintaining and increasing their slender margin of control rest on keeping the seats they hold and unseating Democrats in such states as Ohio, Delaware, Montana, Illinois, Iowa, and Colorado.
Thirty-seven Senate seats are at stake in 34 states tomorrow. Fifteen of these are now held by Republicans and 22 by Democrats. There are 8 senators—33 Republicans, 24 Democrats and one Independent—whose terms do not expire this year.
The GOP won the 38th seat at stake this year when Maine re-elected Sen. Margaret Chase Smith Seat. 3.
Many of the seats to be filled tomorrow are in fairly safe southern Democratic or northern Republican states. The real battle for control of the Senate has been waged in 17 states for seats now held by nine Republicans and eight Democrats.
Present Lineup
Washington — (U.F.) Tomorrow's elections at a glance: Seats at stake—Senate 37; House, 432. Thirty-three governors also to be chosen. One Republican senator and three GOP congressmen already elected in Maine.
Present congressional lineup— Senate: 49 Republicans, 46 Democrats, one Independent. House: 218 Republicans, 212 Democrats, one Independent, four vacancies.
The nine Republican senators represent California, Idaho, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon, and Wyoming. The Democratic seats are in Colorado, Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, New Mexico, and Ohio.
In the 17 crucial races, the Democrats have eyed Kentucky, New Jersey, Wyoming, and Nevada as the states where they have the best chance of winning seats now held by Republicans.
In Kentucky, former vice president and ex-Sen. Alben W. Barkley is trying to unseat GOP Sen. John Sherman Cooper. In Wyoming, former Democratic Sen. Joseph C. O/Mahoney is making a comeback try after his defeat in 1952.
A net loss of one seat tomorrow would enable the GOP to keep the Senate under Republican leadership.
