Gen. Van Fleet Visits Bloody Central Front
Page 3
Seoul, Korea—(U.P.)—Chinese Communist troops stormed South Korean positions in the Triangle hill area tonight as the 8th Army disclosed Gen. James A. Van Fleet flew to the scene for a personal inspection of the bloody central front battleground.
To the west, Chinese Reds blowing horns and howling "Kill Kill" snatched Jackson Heights from Allied troops, but abandoned it a few hours later. U.N. forces occupied the height without resistance.
The Chinese launched their attack about 9 p.m. on low ground between Red-held hill Russell hill on the Triangle hill mass and Sniper ridge, held by South Koreans, about two miles west.
The 8th Army said ROK troops were ordered by their commander to withdraw from the frozen slopes after nine hours of fighting yesterday because of heavy enemy mortal fire. There were reports the enemy massed 300 heavy guns in the area.
It was not known immediately how many Chinese took part in the assault, the second in that area today. Earlier, about 160 Reds attacked South Koreans on the ridge for two hours and 20 minutes, then withdrew. Allied artillery met the latest attack with a thundering barrage.
Washington—(U.P.) - Rep. Adolph J. Sabath, who rose from Bohemian immigrant boy to be dean of the United States Congress, died early today of cancer.
Rep. Sabath Dies of Cancer
The Illinois Democrat was 86, a veteran of just under 46 years in the House and to the end an unyielding battler for "liberal" legislation. He served in Congress under eight presidents.
Sabath was elected by Chicago voters Tuesday to his 24th consecutive term. He had served longer with no break than any House or Senate member in history. Only one member ever had bested his total—and that by only two months.
Sabath was a New and Fair Dealer early and late. He battled the "interests" and championed the "little man." He was an unflagging supporter of Presidents Roosevelt and Truman. He distrusted the generals and would likely have tangled with President-elect Eisenhower.
House members loved Sabath almost to the last man, though more and more often in recent years a majority found itself opposing his goals.

With the growth of the married student population at KU, the whistling law school students added the wedding march to their noon hour repertoire. However, they're still not prepared for all eventualities.
Troops of the American 7th Infantry division had seized the peak Oct.15. The South Koreans who relieved them fought a see-saw battle with the Chinese for possession of the crest, finally losing it last Friday.
American and South Korean officers in that sector refused to admit defeat, despite the heavy ROK casualties. The American advisers described the ROK efforts as superb, but admitted occasional bad planning and staff work.
Recently the strains of the wedding march died into embarrassed silence as a married coed walked by with "another man." Finally one barrister rose to the occasion with a muttered, "bigamist!"

Odd Incidents Mark Homecomings
Homecoming has always been a big event on the KU campus. Besides queens and house decorations, KU students have celebrated the annual event in many different ways through the years.
In 1912, the student body held a funeral cortege after a pep rally and then cremated a Missouri Tiger in front of the gym. Over 1,000 "Ask Me" buttons were made that year for the students to wear so the visiting alums would feel free to ask questions.
Chancellor Snow requested the students to leave profanity out of their yells just before the homecoming game in 1913. The man who sparked the students at homecoming pep rallies in those days was Uncle Jimmy Green, dean of the law school.
The big event of the 1916 homecoming celebration was the senior-alumn smoker which was usually held in a clubhouse downtown. Student "smokers" on the campus were still frowned on by the university administration.
Whether freshmen would have to continue wearing beanies was decided by the outcome of the freshman-sophomore olympics—a part of the homecoming celebrations for many years. The freshmen and sophomores participated in sack races, relays, and other games and if the freshmen won, they no longer had to wear their beanies.
Hobo Day was a vital part of homecoming celebrations in the twenties when the homecoming game was with Missouri. The story goes that Hobo Day originated in 1894 when KU students sold their excess clothes so they would have enough money to go into Kansas City for an annual beer bust. The event was an annual affair for several years. Hobo Day was revived in the twenties and always held before the Missouri game. Prizes were given to the "best dressed" hoboes.
Californian Helps Michener
Dr. Paul D. Hurd, curator of the California insect survey at the University of California, is now on the campus to collaborate with Dr. Charles Michener, chairman of the entomology department, on a scientific paper on the Osmine bees of California.
Floats representing almost 100 counties were entered in the parade preceding the 1921 homecoming game. The floats were sponsored by the county clubs. Two KU bands, a Lawrence town band, and the opponent university's band were always a part of the homecoming parades then.
The Law School and the School of Medicine played each other in football as a part of the homecoming celebrations in 1932. The
lawyers whipped the docs 12 to 0. A "tiger hunt" started the homecoming celebrations before the game with Missouri in 1935. The entire student body hunted a small stuffed tiger which was hidden on the campus. A pep raily followed the finding of the tiger.
Duck races on Potter lake also added to the fun that year. Each organized house entered a duck, and the house whose duck won the race received all the other ducks for a roast duck dinner. However, the wining house was disqualified when a string was found attached to the winning duck.
