Homecoming Welcomes Back Alumni
Housing Meeting Monday
Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of mea, has called a Monday afternoon meeting of campus organizations concerned with University housing.
Dr. Woodruff said the action had been taken to coordinate the efforts of several groups who have been attacking the problem in "16 different directions."
The Pachacamac and FACTS housing committees and the All Student Council's opportunities committee have been asked to "hold off" until Monday, according to Bill Wilson, ASC president.
"The chancellor's efforts for more student housing could easily be nullified by the methods which these groups have been using," he explained.
Representatives from these groups, plus representatives from the men's and women's inter-dorm councils, the inter-co-op-council, the Associated Women Students, the Interfraternity council, the Panhellenic council, and the University Daily Kansan have been invited to the conference Monday, Wilson said.

FINE-FAR-BRISK weather return.

Weekend Features Activities, Football
Three campus political parties moved toward consolidation at a meeting yesterday afternoon at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house.
Old grads have already started their invasion of the campus, looking up old friends and commenting on how easy the student of today has it. ___
Officially, the weekend will start this evening with the Jayhawk Follies in Hoch auditorium. In addition to the acts and pep-inspiring Dr. Yak, the three finalists for Homecoming queen will be named. The name of
Pachacamac's inner circle, and representatives from NOW (sorcity party) and FOR (freshman women) were present.
3 Political Groups To Join Forces
Walter Rickel, pharmacy senior and president of Pach, told the group that the move was needed in order to strengthen the political position of the three parties.
Bill-Wilson, president of the All Student Council, reported that action by the disciplinary committee is still pending on some 60 ID cards which have been improperly used in connection with the recently inaugurated transferable ID card plan
Letters are being sent to the holders of the cards, he said, to give them a chance to state their case before action is taken.
The program of transferable cards was designed only for high school students and persons of "reasonable college age," he asserted.
Disciplinary action might include a ruling that the students affected would be barred from all KU basketball games this year, it was pointed out.
A bill amending the existing ASC provisions for referendum and recall, which will come before the Council Tuesday for passage, was discussed.
It provides for a reduction from 25 to 10 per cent of the student body in the number of signatures required on a petition for referendum or recall.
The proposed amendment would change the existing provision that a majority of the student body must, in a referendum election, vote to override action taken on that particular issue by the Council if the referendum is. to be passed.
A third change which the proposal would make is to combine the existing machinery for recall of the ASC president, or delegate-at-large, and the election to fill the vacancy created by a recall into one election.
the queen will be disclosed at half time ceremonies at the game tomorrow.
Most of the organized houses have finished their Homecoming displays. The displays were missing last year when the funds were used for flood relief.
House decoration judging hours will be from 7 to 11 p.m. tonight. In case of ties, the judges will inspect decorations between 9 and 11 a.m. tomorrow.
Trophies for the homecoming house decorations will be awarded during the intermission of the homecoming dance Saturday night at the Military Science building.
Donald Alderson, assistant dean of men, will award a trophy to the fraternity and sorority winning first and second place and to the men and women's independent dormitory winning first and second prize.
The homecoming dance will be from 9 p.m. to midnight with the music furnished by Gene Hall and his orchestra. Tickets for the dance can still be purchased at the Information booth or Strong rotunda for 50 cents.
The crowd attending the Kansas-Nebraska homecoming game is expected to break the all-time home attendance mark of 153,000 during the first five home games in 1950. Going into this week's game, the mighty Jayhawks have attracted a crowd of 120,000.
A crowd of 35,000 is expected at the game Saturday and this will bring the home attendance figure to 155,000. Although all the tickets have not been sold yet, Earl Falkenstein, athletic business manager, said that the 2,500 remaining tickets are going rapidly.
