Dixie Takes Place With United Nations
University of Missouri band members met in the rotunda of Strong hall Saturday afternoon waving Confederate flags and singing "Dixie."
They quickly noticed that the Civil War emblem was not among the many flags displayed there. That was soon remedied, however.
From what had been an empty holder, a tiny Confederate flag soon waved proudly alongside the bright-colored flags of United Nations members.

Keith Lawton Named Assistant To Chancellor
Robert Shaw Group ToAppearTuesday
The appointment of Keith Lawton, director of dormitories, as administrative assistant to the chancellor was announced today by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy.

Homecoming Bright, In Spite Of Mist
Cool and misty weather failed to dampen the Homecoming spirit for last weekend's activities.
The expected 35,000 persons showed up with raincoats, blankets, and traditional mums to witness the 60th Kansas-Missouri football game. The Missouri fans had the spirit but Coach Don Faurot looked sad after the game in which the Jayhawkers defeated his Tigers 41-28.
The KU band, Jay Janes, and Red Peppers shivered in the mist to form a heart and arrow for the presentation of red roses to the queen, Jeannine Neihart, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Neihart of Lyndon. Miss Neihart received more than the traditional kiss from Gov. Edward Arn and Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy as the press photographers called for retakes.
Her ambition is to teach school and someday be a housewife. She says her favorite pastimes are sewing, knitting and playing cards.
The bands of both schools were out in bright uniforms and good marching form to parade before the spectators.
Miss Neihart is an education senior and a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. She is 5" 8" tall with dark brown hair and brown eyes.
She is a member of Jay Janes; Kappa Phi, Methodist student organization; Sigma Alpha Iota, honorary

JEANNINE NEIHART
about KU, she replied, "The people." Attendants to the queen were Mary Ream, College sophomore and

Miss Ream is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dwight Ream of Topeka. She is 5' 6" tall with brown hair and hazel eyes. She is interested in dramatics and likes to read for a past time.
"I also like to play golf although I'm not very good at it," she said.
She is a member of the YWCA Junior cabinet and French club.
Mis Brown is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Brown of Columbus. She is 5' 5" tall with brown hair and blue eyes. Her favorite food is quail.
"I guess that is because my father likes to quail hunt." she said.
She is a member of Red Peppers, YWCA and the University chorus.
Her favorite past time is talking with the girls. When asked why she liked KU, she replied, "Everyone is so nice, even the faculty."
The alumni registered at the Union as attending 1951 Homecoming. Many of them attended the open house in the lounge after the football game.
Organized houses were crowded to over-flowing with parents, friends and alumni, who came for coffee and doughnuts after the game and to visit old friends and students.
The program which follows will range from the serious to the popular:
Introit and Kyrie, Dies Irae Offertory, Sanctus, Benedictus, Agnus Dei and Communion from the Requiem Mass in D minor (K 626), (Mozart).
Liebeslieder Waltzer Op. 52 (Nos.
8-16). (Brahms). These are nine
waltzes, written in a light folk-song
fashion.
Trois Chansons, (Ravel). These are French songs.
"It Ain't Necessarily So." and
