The famous instruments used by the group were made by Antonio Stradivari more than 200 years ago and were at one time the most cherished possessions of the great violinist Nicolo Paganini.
The Paganians quartet was formed in 1946 and has since been hailed as "the greatest quartet founded on American soil."
Freshman Voting Hottest In Years
Polls will close at 6 p.m. today in the most hotly contested freshman election on the campus in many years.
At 11 a.m., 108 students had cast their ballots. This represents an unusually strong interest in the election, which for years has been controlled by Pachacamac-NOW.
Halloween 'Spirits' Are Now Bottled
Bv JACQUELINE JONES
Last year only six names appeared on the ballots, all of them Greek pledges. No independent students filed for office, but a space was left on the ballots for write-in candidates.
During the morning, the heaviest voting was at the breaks between classes, with the balloting quite orderly. The Kansan reporter found no blocking of lines or any attempted irregularities.
The polls are located in the basement of Marvin hall, the basement of Strong hall, main floor of Fraser hall and in the lobby of the Union. Five representatives from FACTS and Pachacamac manage each booth, with a three-two rep-
Co-chairman of the SUA carnival committee are Marjorie Lee, ed-
The odd happenings on the night of Halloween have long been attributed to supernatural forces, but it just "aint" so.
Candidates for LMOC Worthal are; James Glass, Acacia; Frederick Rice, Sigma Chi; Stan Shone, Alpha Epsilon Pi; Joe Wood, Pi Kappa Alpha, and an unidentified Phi Kappa Psi.
Twenty-eight organized houses have notified the SUA of intention to have a booth at the Carnival. Booth names include: chain reaction, burlesque, pin-ball, sell cotton candy, feelavision, treasure chest, jail, sideshow, barroom follies, merrygo-round, Hawaiian ring toss, fortune telling, Sherwood's forest, ring toss, space ship, Jayhawk, Indian medicine show, horror house, peek show, shooting gallery, freak show, rocket ship, barber shop, and sling-shot.
Nominees for pin-up include:
Nancy Anderson, Kappa Alpha Theta; Shirley Broady, Gamma Phi Beta; Joey Brown, Miller hall;
Trudy Burdick, Alpha Phi; Georgia O'Daniel; Sellards hall; Barbara Fordham, Delta Delta Delta; Mary Gilles, Alpha Micron P; Peggy Hall, North College; Joan Lodde, Chi Omega; Evelyn Lough, Alpha Delta Pi; Virginia Mackey, Kappa KappaGamma; Kathleen Mahoney, Monchsonia hall; Lenore Matthews, Corbin hall; Shirley Piatt, Watkins hall; Mary Rawlings, Foster hall, and Shirley Reams, Sigma Kappa.
Pictures of the pin-up candidates have been received in the Student Union Activities office in the Union while only five Worthal candidate pictures have been turned in. One of the pin-up candidate pictures lacks identification.
Seventeen KU women are eager to be pin-up girl for Worthal, Little Man On The Campus at the Student Carnival Saturday, Nov. 10 in the Military Science building. More candidates for Worthal are needed.
Present day spirits come only in bottles, and many of the Hallowen happenings, at least on this campus, may be charged to the ordinary every-day variety of student.
17 Pin-Up Candidates Selected For Carnival
Let's go back to 1945. On that night, pranksters uprooted tackling dummies at the football field, dumped cans on sorority porches, and gave the Chi Omega's a bad time. The master light switch was pulled at the Chi Omega house plunging the house into darkness for hours. A sign saying, "Have you changed your oil yet?" was hung on the door, and "For Sale" signs were placed on Chi Omega cars.
One of the biggest celebrations of all times took place in 1927. Things
The ingenuity of this present crop of students seems rather lacking, but in the "good old days" he was a fellow who knew all the angles for celebrating Halloween.
Not underway by tying long strips of paper in trees at the Theta house and placing a sign on the door proclaiming that it was the Broadview inn. The Pi Phi's were next. Several barrels of cans and bottles were placed on their lawn.
The Alpha Delta Pi's lost their porch furniture, and in return a sign was nailed on their door saying "Men at Work." Corbin hall received its share of attention, and innocent independents found their beds full of soap flakes and coat hangers.
Weber Will Speak To YM-YW
resentation of parties at alternate polls.
George Weber, graduate student,
will speak to a joint meeting of the
VMCA and YWCA at 7:30 p.m.
Thursday in the Union ballroom. His
lecture, "Dates and Mates," is the
second of a series sponsored by the
VMCA and YWCA.
Candidates sponsored by Pachac-mac-FOR are: Letty Lemon, president; Jay Warner, vice-president; Jacqueline Anderson, secretary; Peggy Hughes, treasurer; Joyce White and William Hawkey, All Student Council representatives.
That same year one student amused himself by splattering hedge balls all over the sides of buildings. He threw one through a house window north of the stadium, and was chased by the home owner with a shotgun.
FACTS candidates are: James Perkins, president; Stanley Scott, vice-president; Ila Dawson, treasurer; Joyce Wellborn and Dale Bowers, All Student Council representatives.
This year all freshman women are required to live in residence halls, and sorority pledging is banned until the sophomore year. The new students have no ready-made political alliances, and this has given the political parties a large field in which to campaign.
In contrast to the exciting activities of the past years, the student is contented with an occasional soaping of windows and a trip to the Granada, where he is likely to receive quite a mental jolt in a form about the size of Clyde Lovelle dressed as Frankenstein's monster.
In 1919, a group of KU men decided to expand the field of operation, and boarded a train for the village up the Kaw. Our country cousins heard they were coming and greeted them by locking them in a fraternity house until after the KU-K-State football game the next day.
Seven freshmen women have been selected candidates for representatives to the Associated Women Students senate.
uation senior, and Frank Norris Jr. business junior.

Thirty dollars was stolen from the Oread hall snack bar Tuesday night.
The theft was discovered about 6:30 a.m. today. Police investigating the burglary said that it looked like it was an inside job.
