Palmerlee Heads Weekend Plans
Homecoming plans are progressing rapidly and all events are ready for the two-day celebration which began this morning, Albert S. Palmerlee, general chairman of the Homecoming committee, said.
This is the first year Mr. Palmerlee, associate professor of engineering drawing, has directed Homecoming activities, although he was a member of the house decorations judging committee in 1941. He came to K.U. in 1931 as a graduate student and was appointed an instructor in engineering drawing in 1939. He has been an associate professor since 1946.
A check of Kansan files and Alumni association records reveals that three students have been home-coming chairmen within the past ten

years. They are Jackie Meyer, a College senior, in 1943; Doris Bixby, a College junior, in 1944; and Eugenia Hepworth, fine arts junior, in 1945. In 1940, Wade Pierce, Lawrence businessman, served as general co-ordinator.
The following faculty members and administrators have been chairman since 1939; Leonard Axe, dean of the School of Business, 1939; Gilbert Ulmer, Assistant dean of the College, 1941; Fred Eldsworth, secretary of the Alumni association of the Hitt, Registrar, in 1946; and Fred Montgomery, director of the bureau of visual instruction, in 1947. Chairman the past year was E. R. Elbel, professor of physical education.

Opinions Show Sentiment For Transferable Tickets
Activity tickets should be made transferable, in the opinion of six out of eight students questioned by a University Daily Kansan reporter. Activity tickets presented by someone other than the owner have been confiscated-at football games this year.
Six of the students questioned believed that since the activity ticket was purchased by the student it should be his to use or loan as he wished. The two students opposed to making the ticket transferable felt that the looting of it would decrease the number of paid admissions.
Tom Milligan, engineering junior,
—"Yes. If you want to bring guests
to see the game, activity tickets are
the only way to get them seats when
there is a sell-out. If the game isn't
sold out it is still the only way to
get good seats."
The following replies were received in answer to the question,
"Do you think that activity tickets should be made transferable?"
John Mitchell, College freshman-
"Yes. If a student doesn't use his
hicket he should be able to give i
to a friend. After all, if a ticke
isn't used, there will be one more
empty seat at the game. To give
the team the support it needs
believe that every seat should be
filled."
John Hinde, College senior-"No. I believe the present plan is all right. Persons who would use activity tickets wouldn't buy regular admission tickets. The school would be losing money that could be used in a number of ways, such as building a fieldhouse."
Barbara Drohan, College freshman—"Yes. It's too bad that the school loses money by students loaning their activity tickets, but the student pays for the ticket and should be allowed to use it as he sees fit"
Robert Shaw, business junior—"Yes. I think that friends from other schools should be allowed to use the ticket, as there is no sense in letting it go to waste if the owner is unable to use it. I am opposed to admitting parents or older persons on the ticket though."
David Hills, College freshman— "No. I think it would be all right if it could be arranged so the student could let his parents or a friend from another school use it, but by making the ticket transferable anyone could use it. The student would
This Pole Was Reserved

Mrs. Calderwood Lists Three Points On Need For English Proficiency Exam
The need for the English proficiency examination was discussed by Mrs. Natalie Calderwood, instructor in English, at the Presidents' breakfast Nov. 12. She answered questions presented by presidents of organized houses and leading campus organizations.
Mrs. Calderwood made three points in answer to the central question, "Why should the examination be required of students who have just completed four semesters of required English?"
First, she noted that many juniors are transfers to the University who had their basic English training elsewhere. The examination provides a way to check on the English proficiency of these students.
Third, the examination keeps the importance of proficiency in English before students.
Second, she said the examination provided a means of discovering writers who are not proficient in English in spite of their training at the University. These students can receive further help.
Mrs. Calderwood said she did not know why students in schools other than the College, journalism, and education were not required to take the examination.
Another question was, "Why are composition and literature taught together?" Mrs. Calderwood replied that the English department wanted
to give its students something to think and write about besides their own experiences. She commented that she planned to take challenges to this answer to the department.
Herbert Feigl, professor of philosophy at the University of Minnesota, has influenza and will be unable to visit the University of Kansas.
Professor Feigl was to speak today at a psychology colloquium and at a program sponsored by Phi Delta Kappa, honorary fraternity of education. Both programs have been cancelled.
Speaker III, Visit Cancelled
In 1899, coal furnished 89 per cent of all energy consumed in the United States. By 1938 it provided only 49 per cent.

be tempted to sell his ticket and a market for activity tickets might develop."
Jim Wilson, business senior—“Yes. Since I'll be coming back to see some of the football games next year I'd like to be able to sit with my friends on the student side, if I can borrow an activity ticket.”

Miller and Brown Win Tournament

James H. Schrader, engineering sophomore, was the winner of the beginner's division. He defeated Harold A. Dietsch, College freshman, and Eugene B. Wilson, graduate student, who each scored 171 points of a possible 910. Schrader's score was 265 points.
The women's division was won by Aleta F. Brown, education senior, who defeated Alice G. Myers, education senior, by scoring 340 points of a possible 648.
The next meeting of the club will be Wednesday, Nov. 30 at Robinson annex. Joie L. Stapleton, associate professor of physical education and the club sponsor, will give pointers on the techniques of archery. Any student interested in archery is invited to attend.
The winners of the men's and women's division received medals. For winning the beginner's division, Schrader received a gold arrow.
Thev Needed Dirtier Dirt
Camp Hill, Pa.—(U.P.)Two Jersey City sellers of top soil were urged by a justice of the peace to supply dirtier dirt. Customers of Joseph M. Ingentio and Michael J. Morley complained that the "high grade" earth they bought from the two men was no more than plain garden variety soil. The men were fined $25 apiece.
Ithaca, N. Y.-(U.P.)-Maybe the housewife will have to gripe no longer because potatoes fall apart when boiled or become hard as rocks when baked.
Research Develops New Potato Type
A new, accurate method of weight separation has been developed at the Cornell university agricultural experiment station to enable grocers to offer package potatoes for one of three specific purposes: boiling, frying or baking.
Mealy potatoes, best for baking have the highest specific gravity and sink in the salt solution, Professor Smith said, while the lighter boilers and fryers float.
The method is the result of more than 10 years of research by Prof. Ora Smith. It involves the use of two tubs of salt water solution adjusted for density to the particular type of potato.
