THE CLOWN DIRECTING TRAFFIC yesterday was no illusion as the picture proves. It was Campus Policeman Earl Steck who was enticed into donning the costume by Student Union Activities members to promote the Union carnival this Saturday in the Military Science building. Steck will be one of three campus policemen who will select Worthal and his pin-up girl at the carnival. (Kansan photo by Jim Murray).
Campus Cops To Pick Worthal, His Pin-Up
On hand at the Student Union carnival Saturday night in the Military Science building will be three campus policemen, Joe Skillman, Otis Nutting and Earl Steck.
However the cops won't be there to keep peace and order. They will be looking over a group of suspect students for their two favorites, Worthal, Little Man On The Campus, and his pin-up girl. The verdict by the three campus policemen last year was unanimous.
Pictures of the Worthal and pin-up candidates will be on display in the drill hall for students to consider before casting their 10 cent votes. Pictures of the four candidates receiving the most votes for each title will come before the policemen for final judging.
The carnival will begin at 8 p.m.
and last until midnight. Admission is 75 cents per couple or 50 cents
per person.
Dick Bibler, '50, created Worthal, Little Man On The Campus, for the University Daily Kansan in 1945 LMOC has since become a syndicated national feature published in college papers from coast to coast.
KU's Worthal will be awarded a trophy appropriately inscribed, while his pin-up will receive a dozen red roses and a corsage in addition to a trophy.
Trophies will also be awarded to the first and second place booth winners in the men's and women's divisions. Booths will be judged 50 per cent on originality and attractiveness by three anonymous faculty judges and 50 per cent on the number of tickets each booth sells.
Last year Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority won first place in the women's booth contest with "The Thing" which consisted of a mirror in which students sa wiethir reflection. Phi Gamma Delta's "House of Horrors" won first place in the men's contest.

Women's organized houses will be entitled to one nomination each for queen. A slightly different arrangement shall apply to the freshman women's halls. Women living in North College and Hopkins halls can nominate three candidates from their entire number. The Corbin and Hodder halls combination may also have three candidates.
Other candidates may be nominated of 25 signatures, Dr. Anderson said. By this method clubs, associations and unorganized groups may put up candidates.
Nominations complete with name, address, classification, and campus activities must be submitted to the office of the dean of women by 4 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 14.
It will be the responsibility of each candidate to make an appointment to have her picture taken at the University Photographic bureau on Friday through Saturday, Nov. 15 through 17. Four poses will be taken and the candidate must turn in the picture of her choice to the office of the dean of women by noon, Monday, Nov. 26.
The activities and supporting information will be used in the judging.
Judging will be by a committee of businessmen and faculty.
Senior Meeting To Start Activities
"Seniors only" is the slogan for Friday's convocation that begins activities planned, Don Hull, class president, said, "to make the class of 52 something more than a date in a diary."
The convocation, for which all seniors will be excused from classes, will be held at 10 a.m. Friday in Fraser theater. Program details are secret but seniors who want to sit in the special 50-yard line section at the Loyola game Saturday are advised to attend.
Class organization in the fall is being started for the first time this year. "Right now we want to get together, get acquainted, reminisce, and celebrate the fact this is our last year." President Hull explained.
on dishpans? That was the year of the Templin fire and a campaign that led to clothing insurance for dormitory students.
And the class of '32 has much to remember. Such as: "Remember the 'ice age' when we went to class on ice skates and slid down 14th street
The Mills-Shearer debate team kept bringing back honors from national competition and we got a new chancellor.
The Rock Chalk Revue made its debut during our reign.
"Construction on the campus included the freshman dorm, the Union addition, the new scholarship halls, the campanile, the new Journalism building, the science building, and the fieldhouse.
"A new political party called FACTS created a whirl of political activity and Harry James introduced name bands to the campus.
"Barbed wire restricted cross-campus jaywalkers, KU kidnapped the K-State wildeat, and Uncle
Jimmy got tarred and feathered.
A gang of freshman women retaliated against the lawyers with water guns.
At Friday's convocation the seniors will begin the addition of class memories to their scrapbooks. Saturday they will sit in a special section and will be honored during half time ceremonies.
The KU calendar girl, who is a senior, will be introduced at the Saturday game and the seniors will break loose with their class yell.

Cage Tickets Available In Robinson Nov.12
Beginning Monday students may present their I-D cards at the Athletic office in Robinson gym to be punched for one of two groups of home basketball games they wish to attend.
I-D cards used for the basketball games will be transferable provided both I-D cards are shown.
E. L. Falkenstien, athletic business manager, urges all students to have their I-D cards punched as early next week as possible. Any space left at the end of the week will be offered to the public and faculty, he said.
"The public and faculty are allowed to buy a season ticket to only half the home games," Falkenstien explained.
Last year nearly 400 tickets were available to the public. This year there should be more because of the drop in student enrollment.
The reason students are unable to attend all home games is that Hoch auditorium seats only 3,500
persons for basketball games, while there are around 5,900 students. The new field house will solve this problem.
The sets are:
Set No. 1
Dec. 3—Baylor
Jan. 5—Oklahoma
Feb. 4—Colorado
Feb. 19—Oklahoma A&M
Feb. 25—Missouri
Set No. 2
Dec. 8—Denver
Dec. 18—Rice
Feb. 2—Iowa State
Feb. 16—Nebraska
Mar. 7—Kansas State.
Loy Kirkpatrick, Campus chest chairman, said, "The action of Panhellenic is a most admirable one.
"We must have a secure base of operations, but I feel that our hemisphere should be the last line and not the first line of defense. We have frontiers that are vulnerable to attack, and for that reason we must maintain foreign allies. We do not want a war fought on our land," he said.
Panhellenic Authorizes Plan For Sorority Meatless Meals
A plan was presented to Panhellenic Wednesday which would allow sororities to make additional donations to the Campus Chest if they so desire.
The plan, submitted by Janice Manuel, a Panhellenic member of the chest committee, is that sororities voluntarily hold meatless dinners and donate the money saved to the chest.
Panhellenic approved the idea; however, it will not compel the sororites to participate. Virginia Thompson, president of Panhellenic, said the action taken was merely a step clearing the way for individual action by the sororites.
Members of the Forensic league are speaking before organized houses and will complete their assignments by Friday, Kay Roberts, Forensic league representative to the Campus chest said.

We appreciate it very much."
The KuKu's hope to complete a canvass of unorganized men students by tonight.
The Phi Gamma Delta fraternity is the first organization to report a 100 per cent contribution.
Mr. Baldwin explained that some people favor a policy of isolationism, but it cannot work.
Power Balance Is Vital, Editor Says
"There is no complete and absolute policy for peace. Neither side is deliberately planning for World War III, but it could happen by accident. The Far East and Middle East are danger points where a war could be touched off very easily.
About 2,000 students and faculty members assembled in Hoch auditorium to hear the noted military authority explains his ideas toward world peace.
An international balance of power is the only solution in sight to settle world conflict, Hanson Baldwin, military editor of the New York Times, said at an all-student convocation this morning.
We must continue to support our allies, economically and politically, and in time build a balance of power
in the world which will serve as an influence against aggression, Mr. Baldwin explained.
"The War created a vacuum in political, economic and military power, and as a result two super states developed, Russia and the United States. Whenever there are two great powers, there is always conflict." Mr. Baldwin said.
A third World War is not inevitable, but we must not lapse into indifference. Communism has made great gains since World War II, and we must be prepared if it becomes necessary to protect ourselves.
Mr. Baldwin outlined four points which he considered necessary to maintain peace: (1) We should seek an international convention to pledge
all nations not to use the atomic bomb unless attacked. (2) Western Europe must be built-up to support itself. (3) We must re-arm Germany and Japan. This will happen eventually and it is a question of whether we help or hinder. (4) We must develop a positive policy in Asia.
Geologists Visit Lyon County
