The bands represented 50 high schools and junior high schools throughout the state. Russell L. Wiley, professor of band and orchestra, directed the leaders of the individual bands, who in turn directed their own bands.

At game halftime, the Shawnee-Mission and Colby high school bands demonstrated for the audience. The Shawnee-Mission band formed the word "Hi" and the Colby band formed the outline of the state of Kansas with a shock of wheat in one corner and Colby spelled out.
The Colby band had the longest trip to Lawrence. They left Colby by bus at 9:45 p.m. Friday and arrived just two and a half hours before the parade Saturday.

Ike to Reveal Financial Affairs Before Nov. 4
New York —(U.P.)—Republican presidential candidate Dwight D. Eisenhower will bare his financial affairs in a statement to be issued before election day, it was announced today.
The announcement followed publication last night of Adlai E. Stevenson's federal income tax returns for the last 10 years. The Democratic candidate in issuing his returns made an implied challenge to Gen. Eisenhower to do likewise.

Stevenson will deliver a nationwide radio-television speech tonight (at 9:30 p.m. CST) in which he is expected to discuss his personal finances.
Sen. John J. Sparkman, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, promptly announced he would make public his income for the last 10 years.
Sen. Nixon, Gen. Eisenhower's running mate, has already discussed his income in his nationwide speech Tuesday night about his $18,000 expense fund. Sen. Sparkman said, however, that Mr. Nixon didn't give "much of a breakdown" on his personal finances in the speech.
Gen. Eisenhower embarks to tomorrow on the biggest campaign trip of his bid for the presidency—an 8,000-mile, 24-day trip through 27 states.
While both sides maneuvered over the financial disclosures, the two presidential candidates took a momentary break today in campaigning.

New Instructors to Meet
Stone from a Kansas quarry was used as the cornerstone of the new $2^{1/2}$ million Science building in the cornerstone laying ceremony Friday.
Science Hall Cornerstone Laid in Quiet Ceremony
Those who laid the cornerstone were Chancellor Murphy, J. Earl Schaefer, Wichita, vice-president and general manager of the Boeing Aircraft company, and chairman of the University Research Foundation board; Sen. Wilfrid Cavaness, chairmen of the Ways and Means committee; Drew McLaughlin, Paola chairman of the state board of regents.
The material in the Science building is almost entirely from the state. The outside is of Kansas native stone. The Pitchfaced stone was done in Junction City, the Silverdale limestone is from Silverdale, and the mortar and cement from Ft. Scott and Bonner Springs. The cornerstone is a slab of Silverdale limestone.
The ceremony was "a roadmark in the realization of the dream to provide adequate teaching and research facilities for the physical sciences," Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy said.
About 50 persons stood in the shade of the rising $2,651,300 structure at 3 p.m. Friday as Cancellor Murphy introduced several persons whose participation has been significant in the planning, promotion, and construction of the building.
tary of the board of regents; Dr. Raymond Q. Brewster, chairman of the chemistry department; J. Allen Reese, dean of the School of Pharmacy; J. D. Stranathan, chairman of the department of astronomy and physics.
Mr."Schaefer spoke briefly above the shouts of workmen and the pounding of hammers. He said his biggest thrill was his contact with the Legislature and University people.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy has outlined a 10-year University building program totaling more than $12 \frac{1}{2} millions to be brought before the Board of Regents, Oct. 30-31, at Hays.
The next legislature will be asked for 31/2 million of the $10 million for the Lawrence campus and will be asked for a sizable portion of the $2.5 million program planned for the Kansas City Medical center.
The plans include:
1. $1 \frac{1}{2}-2 million for a fine arts and dramatics building.
2. $750,000 for construction of an annex on the northeast corner of Snow hall.
3. $500,000-$750,000 for equipment to be placed in the Science building now under construction.
4. $500,000 for the remodeling of Bailey Chemical laboratories into

week.
The initials of the Tau Nu Epsilon society, a banned organization, were burned into the Memorial stadium field early in the morning of Sept. 20 before the Kansas-Texas Christian football game. Chrysanthemums in a flower bed at the west end of the campus were damaged when a car was driven through the bed sometime Wednesday night, and three "No Parking" signs near the Campanile were damaged the same night.
University officials said action would be taken if the guilty parties were found.
Make-up Placement Exams To Be Given Tomorrow
Make-up placement exams for entering students will be conducted at 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. tomorrow in the Military Science building.
Students who have not taken the exams will be excused from classes. They will be tested in English, mathematics, reading, and general scholastic ability.
facilities for the School of Education.
$ 1. $510,000 to add a third story on the Haworth hall annex.
Chancellor Murphy said that the Bailey remodeling, Science building equipment, and the fine arts building projects will all be presented to the 1953 Legislature. The other projects will not come before group before the 1955 session, he said.
Other projects mentioned in the plans include an engineering laboratory building, a social science building, remodeling and enlarging of the mechanical and electrical engineering laboratories, an addition to Lindley hall, an addition to the Watkins hospital, and driveways and walks in the science building and fieldhouse areas.
At the Medical center, the Chancellor will ask for funds to equip and put into first class condition all present buildings and those under construction now. Funds will be requested to complete the addition to building "A" and to provide library facilities at the center. These requests may not come before the next legislative session, he said.
About $6 million will be available in the state's educational building fund at the start of the 1953 Legislature, Hubert Brighton, secretary of the Regents, explained in Topeka. From this fund, the board will discuss and recommend building programs at six other state schools in addition to the University. Final appropriation of the money rests with the Legislature.
Chancellor Murphy said the building program to be requested by the University was designed to stay within the .75 mil tax levy designated for educational construction. The program is aimed at providing adequate facilities for the expected enrollment of 10,000-12,000 students within the next 10 years. It will also eliminate most of the temporary buildings now standing on the University campus, the Chancellor explained.
