Students Hoaxed At Rally By Forged Holiday Notice
Friday, March 7, 1952
Students were hoaxed this morning at the pep rally, when a fake letter supposedly from Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy declared a holiday Monday in the event of a KU victory over Kansas State.
Executive Secretary Raymond' Nichols said that school will be held
Nicotis said that school will be held as usual, and that the signature on his note handed to head cheerleader Mary Buckley was forged. It is believed she to have topped a holiday in the event of victories in athletic contests.
The note was handed to Tom Oliver, engineering senor, by an unidentified student. Oliver gave the message to the group, Buckley, who traded it in the back.
The content of the note was, "Tonight we meet our traditional rival the K-State Wildcats. In the event of a Jayhawker victory, an all school holiday will be given Monday, March 10."
Jim Logan, All Student Council president, said, "I am sure that whoever perpetrated this trick on the students is sorry. Personally, I am getting into line at 5 p.m. and if I can talk above a whisper by the end of the game, I'll consider myself a discredit to KU."
"We regret that our number one fan, Chancellor Murphy, will not be here for the game," Coach Allen told the crowd. The chancellor is in so much discomfort on so many Nichols that he would manage in some way to hear the game by radio.
A cheering crowd became even more enthusiastic following a reading of the fake holiday notice. Coach Forrest C. Phog Allen predicted a KU victory over the Wildcats and he expected the student body to give the Jayhawkers the support they deserved.
Choruses of "Beat K-State" rose to a noisily climax and echoed in the room where who arrived by bus at Robinson gym while the rally was in progress.

The cast of "Lantern Marriage," a lab theater presentation, received four curtain calls Thursday night. The opera was given in the Little theater of Green hall and will be given again tonight at 8 o'clock.
Fred Tarry, fine arts sophomore, sings the tenor role of Peter. His problems are solved when his uncle works with a teacher to measure under a tree in his front yard.
The source of their argument was Peter, a young farmer, who writes his uncle for money with which to get married and build up his farm
From the opening scene when John Eisele, college senior, introduced the characters and explained the role of each the audience was given. The humor lyrics and catchy tunes heightened the audience's pleasure.
It is difficult to select an outstanding performer when the overall effect was so stimulating. Especially amusing was the squabble between two widows. Anne and Catherine played by the Stutz, Phyllis Pellisson bass, fine arts sophomore. Both are sopranos. The musical number, "Oh, has anybody ever . . . ," was the highlight of their quarrel.
who has been secretly in love with him and has written the uncle for an offer. Denise is played by Polly Owens; education senior who is a contralto.
A six-piece orchestra played thi overture and accompanied thi singers.
The orchestra was composed on Don Stewart, college senior, first violin; Clara James, fine arts senior; second violin; Elizabeth Deibert college freshman, viola; Anita McCoy, fine arts junior, cellist; Kassinger, '49, clarinet, and Delore Wunsch, fine arts senior, piano.

The operetta was presented through the co-operation of Mu Phi Epsilon, women's national honorary fraternity, and the lab theater.
The operetta was directed jointly by Jeanne Aldridge and Phyllis Clegg, graduate students. Miss Aldridge directed the music and Miss Clegg directed the acting. Robert Howery, fine arts freshman, was in charge of stage management, lighting, and set design.
Two donations totaling $65 were given to the "Matt" Murray benefit fund by Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity and the Lawrence Elks club.
'Matt' Murray Fund Boosted By $65
Murray, who was critically injured in an automobile accident Feb. 23, was last reported as being able to respond to certain stimuli although he had not recovered consciousness.
The donations were unolsolicited and were contributed in conjunction with the dance to be held for Murray's benefit following the Kansas-Kansas State basketball game to held in the Military Science building.
Chet Lewis, second year law student and president of the fraternity of which Murray is a member, said in making the $50 donation for Alpha Phi Alpha that "Matt" had brought joy and a sense of desirability for living to everyone who has had the pleasure of knowing him either personally or remotely.
"His every inner fiber is motivated by service, and at this time we feel that this should not be forrotten," he said.
Murray worked in the lunch room of the Elks club for a short time which prompted the donation from the club.
The KuKu and Jay James steering committee for the舞戏 reported that the dance made great progress through the aid of contributions. "Everything for the dance has been donated—the building, the band, the entertainment," and the building of the hotels." and Hattie Madurger, president of the Jayanes.
She emphasized that the "Mati" Murray Benedict舞力 is a "worthy project which everyone can*back and still have a good time."
Music for the dance will be furnished by the Kampus Kats, a new campus band. Admission to the dance is 90 cents and may be pur- from members of the Jay James-KuKu club or at the dance tonight.

The Kansas Jayhawkers will meet the K-State Wildcats in Hoch auditorium at 7:35 tonight in one of the most important basketball games in Big Seven history.
The conference championship will in all probability go to the winner, and with it goes an automatic bid to the NCAA basketball playoffs in Kansas City, March 21 and 22.
The long awaited cage meeting between Coach F. C. Phog Allen's Jayhawkers and Jack Gardner's Wildcats should furnish the fans with plenty of thrills.
More than a million people in this area are expected to view the game over station WDAF-TV, probably the largest single audience to ever witness a television program in the Middle West.
Over 900 fans will pack the Granada theater for the first "big screen" TV broadcast in this part of the country, but the most en-

thusianic crowd of all, will be the lucky 4,000 who will fill Hoch auditorium to capacity. Students are expected to begin standing in line as early as 4 p.m. Doors will open at 6 p.m.
Five radio stations, including the Liberty network will give play-by-play broadcasts. Liberty will broadcast the game on 300 stations.
Each team has defeated the other once this season, the KU victory was in the pre-season Big Seven tournament. Neither squad should be hampered seriously by injury, and with the players in
What to expect for a final score is a big guess even for the experts. Both clubs move into the contest with identical records of nine victories and one loss in conference play.
Coach Allen expects to start Bob Kenney, John Keller, Clyde Lovellette, Bill Houghtland, and Dean Kelley.
A poll taken yesterday of the Missouri university basketball team showed that the Tigers picked Kansas to win by a vote of 11-3.
The starting lineup for K-State should be Jesse Prisock, John Gibson, Dick Knostman, Bob Rousey, and Jim Iverson.
In conjunction with the game, the annual "Doc Yak" pep rally was held in front of Strong hall this morning. The event, a tradition with K-State basketball games, gave the Kansas team a roaring sendoff.
Extreme optimism prevails over the campus today, and instead of the usual "Hello," many friends greet with a hearty "Beat K-State."
Regardless of the final score, this should be the "game of the year," a fitting final home contest in the collegiate careers of Lovellette, Kenney, Lienhard, Hougland, and Keller.
Kansas-K-State Game Will Be '100 Miles Old' On TV Screen
By MAURICE PRATHER
You may not be able to see the Kansas-Kansas State basketball game Friday in person, but chances you will see the action on television. If so, by the time it reaches you it will be almost 100 miles old.
You will see an "old" game because a complicated hook-up is required to broadcast the game. Here is how the hook-up will be made.
Two separate television cameras will be used to cover the game, one at each end of the court. The signal transmitted by these cameras will go through cable to the WDAF-TV field car parked between Marvin hall. From the car the signal will be transmitted to the western Bell Telephone company truck parked next to the TV field car.
The telephone truck will send the signal up the old KFKU radio tower to a four foot microwave reflector. This reflector will transmit the game screen to a temporary tower with two more microwave reflectors has been erected.
At Lenape the game signal is beamed to Kansas City where another microwave reflector on the 27th floor of the telephone building picks it up. From here on the signal is back in the telephone system
The signal now passes through two amplifying stations before it is
received at the WDAF-TV control room. In the control room the director will send the image from the proper camera to the engineer. He uses a 726-foot tower where it will be broadcast throughout the area.
But don't think that Clyde Love-lette's hook shot will be "old stuff" by the time you see it. It takes about as long for the signal to make the near 100-mile trip as it does for you to blink your eyes.
