Homecoming Events Seem Bigger and Better
By VELMA GASTON
Homecoming social events following World War II have become bigger and better.
In 1946 in addition to the regular homecoming celebration a freshman frolic featuring Ted Weems and his orchestra was held in the Military Science building. A coffee and doughnut hour and street dance was held at the Memorial Union before the football game.
The social events of the 1947 celebration included a rally dance in the Union ballroom the night before the big game. And there were the usual alumni luncheon and dinners the day of the football game.
The 1948 homecoming featured a talent rally in the stadium the night before the game. One hundred disabled veterans' from the Wadsworth and Excelsior Springs hospitals were guests at the game and at a dinner following the game. Among the distinguished guests
that year were Lt. Gov. Frank Hagaman and Andrew Schoeppel, former governor. Topping the homecoming program was the varsity dance at the Union.
In 1949 the homecoming celebrations were initiated with an hour long home talent show, the Jayhawk Follies, which revealed the identity of the queen. A basketball game between the varsity and freshman squads was played following the Follies.
The Jayhawker's 1950 homecoming was a huge success in all respects but one—the Cornhuskers won the game. The Jayhawk Follies was said to be the best produced.
Last year the homecoming included the Jayhawk Follies, the freshman-varsity basketball tilt and the homecoming dance at the Union.
All Fashions at Homecoming Promise to be Gay and Colorful

All of the Ike and Stevenson buttons are gone, but there will be plenty offered at the game to take their place.
YWCA mums, "beat Nebraska"
buttons, Jayhawk emblems and
everything imaginable will be sold to
deck out the already colorful crowd.
When about 30,000 persons get together for Homecoming weekend, anything and everything will be seen in fashions.
Most girls here on the campu will be wearing skirts and sweaters with white Peter Pan collars. Skirts will of every fabric from popular grey flannel to wide-corded corduroy. Socks. Socks in natural color that is no so紧扣) or shoes. Shoes will be any color, especially in the suede types.
Adding that special touch, as women will, will be scars and scatter pins, medallions, wide elastic and leather belts, linked silver chains for waists and necklaces, and wide bracelets so in vogue this year.
The men mustn't be forgotten for they will be there too (or why else all the fuss?') with their grey buckles which they are egotistical enough
Then there will be those with special dates or first year alumnae who will be wearing tailored suits and slenderizing knitted dresses. Classic earrings and other ornaments will add a touch of sophistication to their outfits. Hose, with specially designed heels, and high heels will be worn to emphasize that streamlined look.
New Spanish Club Elects Fall Officers
James Johannes, engineering freshman, was elected president of La Tertulia, the new Spanish club organized for Spanish I and II stu-
Other officers of the club are Adelaide Miller, college freshman vice president; Martha Poor, colleg freshman, secretary-treasurer; Joa Parker, college freshman, chairma of the refreshment committee, an Thomas Peters, college senior, asistant chairman of the refreshmer committee.

to call white. Trousters will range from jeans to smart light-weight flannels. Small checked shirts are the daze (and what a daze if you get stuck behind such a shirt while finding a seat).
Because many houses are holding alumni teas or open house, there will be probably as many dressed up as there will be in more casual attire.
No matter what is worn, the total picture will be one of color, variety, and gaiety.
Start Work Now On Xmas Gifts
It's just about time for the smart girls who make Christmas presents for the special men in their life to start choosing the yarn and patterns for argyle socks and sweaters.
For those who think they do not have time to knit the answer is: two rows before dinner, an inch over coffee in the Union, another inch at a committee meeting and a stitch before class now and then—and before Santa Claus knows it a whole sock, or scarf or even a sweater is finished.
The amount of knitting to carry around to work on should be small—socks, gloves, scarfs and loafer socks are the most practical, since of course, they aren't so bunglesome or so obvious.
Sock knitting has gone modern with little plastic helpers such as bobbins to hold different colored yarns, stitch-holder and even little meters to count the rows as they are knitted and keep track of the pattern effortlessly.
Kits containing the yarn and patterns for socks of several different styles as well as gloves and the everpopular loafer socks are available at the yarn counter in almost any department store.
Patterned socks look complicated but they are actually easier to make than larger and plainer articles. Beginners can turn out products and finishes as neat as anyone more experienced.

Popcorn Makes Good Snack
Having a feed tonight, or just a little snack break? If so, try one of these five new ways to serve everybody's party favorite — popcorn. Here's how to "pop" it perfectly.
Place the popped corn in a large bowl and set aside. Combine sugar, corn syrup, water, and butter in saucepan. Place the pan over heat, and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Cook over medium heat to 270 degrees Fahrenheit, or until a small amount of syrup dropped in cold water separates into threads which are hard but not brittle.
Heat three tablespoons of salad oil in a skillet or a deep saucepan with a tight fitting cover, but do not allow the oil to smoke. Add one half cup of popcorn and one half teaspoon of salt, and then cover. Shake over the heat until the corn begins to pop. Reduce the heat and continue shaking until the corn is popped. This makes six cups of popped corn.
Popcorn balls are made with three quarts of popped corn; one cup of sugar; one third cup of light corn syrup; one third cup of water, and two tablespoons of butter or margarine.
Pour the syrup over the popped corn, toss lightly and shape into balls with lightly buttered hands. This makes approximately twelve popcorn balls.
For peppermint popcorn balls, follow the basic recipe adding one teaspoon of peppermint flavoring and a few drops of green food coloring to the syrup just before pouring over the popcorn.
To make chocolate popcorn balls, follow the basic recipe adding one half package of semi-sweet chocolate pieces to the sugar-corn syrup mixture.
Spicy popcorn balls are made by following the basic recipe and then adding a few drops of oil of cloves and a few drops of red food coloring just before pouring over the popcorn.
Polka-dot popcorn balls are made by adding one half cup of raisin and one half cup of peanuts to the popped corn before adding the syrup.
record party from 9 p.m. to midnight Saturday. Chaperons will be Mrs. Dana Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. Emil Telfel, and Miss Mary Kinnan.
