The Pied Piper K.U. band led the parade of red, pink, blue, yellow, lavender, striped and polka-dotted nightshirts and countless blue jeans from the Union down Mississippi street, to the tune of "I'm a Jayhawk."
At Eight and Massachusetts street lines formed and began a wild spiral to South park where a bonfire leaped into the dark.
In a bright red convertible leading the snake dancers were Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy, L. C. Woodruff, dean of men, and James Logan, A.S.C. president, attired in white nightshirts.
At the park Chancellor Murphy spoke briefly to the circle of faces around the towering bonfire in
which firecrackers occasionally exploded. After successively louder roars, the chancellor finally conceded he could hear the students yell, "Hell Yes!" (we would beat Iowa State).

Things were not so tough for Kaye Siegfried, College freshman, and Jerry O'Dell, engineering freshman, who each received $5 for wearing the best costumes.
On the back of O'Dell's nightie was this verse:
"I wear my pink pajamas in the summer when it's hot.
And wear my flannel nightie for
the winter when you not in
laurentia, help not in spring
and the winter when it's not.
And sometimes in the balm spring
And sometimes,
and sometimes in the fall,
between the sheets
I jump right in between the sheets, with nothing on at all."

Murphy Poses Planning Board For University
The creation of a planning council to guide the future of the University was proposed Saturday by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy.
The KU Endowment association voted to establish the council within several months, after hearing the chancellor's proposal.
The council would act as a planning agency to study recommendations made for financing, architecture, housing, parking, and other problems that confront University administrators. It would co-ordinate subagencies of the University.
To emphasize the need for advanced planning Chancellor Murphy said, "Years ago we did not anticipate the advent of the motor car, now we have an almost impossible parking problem."
The chancellor told members of the Endowment association that such instances create a planning vacuum which should be eliminated in the future.
Sixteen trustees of the association met before the football game to hear a report on university planning. Chancellor Murphy's recommendation was made after the report was not accepted.
The report was made by Tamblyn and Brown, a fund-raising study group, which recommended a broad fund-raising campaign be undertaken among University alumni to meet future planning expenses.
The trustees also elected Dr. L. P. Engel, Johnson county, as a member of their group. He will fill the vacancy created when Dr. Murphy was elected chancellor.
Dolph Simons, publisher of the Lawrence Journal-World, was elected to membership on the trustees' executive council.
The board also voted to retain C. C. Stewart of Lawrence as president of the association until June. Stewart had indicated a desire to resign, but was urged to stay on until that time.
