Student opinion is mixed about the Homecoming Committee's decision not to have a ceremony and decoration contest this year.
Homecoming Committee Policy Provokes Mixed Student Reaction
"It was inevitable," said Sandy Johnson, Overland Park junior, homecoming semifinalist last year.
"The whole thing was leaning toward irrelevance. It is kind of bad to break such an old tradition but I am all for it as long
Cheryl Mehan, Leawood senior, said that the general feeling in her living group was split.
as they do something meaningful instead."
"Some see no real needs no use, traditionalism has many other benefits, as you do, that it is sad to lose all tradition. Homecoming will be for us."

and in 1917 the collaborated with Katherine Blunt and Florence Powdermaker on a book called "Food and the War."
Mrs Shaad said she thought Miss Sprigge got the idea to build the apartments during the last two or three years of her life.
"she knew so many faculty would come to up the chaircase," Miss Shaad said. "She wanted to build the library and give people a physical difficulty they would be able to enjoy the life of the University and be able to go to see these buildings."
Miss. Shaad, the first tenant of Sprague Apartments, lived with Miss Sprague for five years and was a close friend to her.
Construction on the building
was begun June 22, 1959, and was
completed in June of 1960. Miss Sprague died March 16, 1960.

KU Debaters To Defend Title
"Two teams will be sent to the University of Colorado and five teams to the University of Arizona for our first meet," he said.
...es KU holds four," he said. "A total of 14 of the 30 debaters from last year, and nine came in from last year, he said. Dan Beck, Kansas City senior, and Bob Prentice, Turon junior, took part in the national competition.
That's when the University of Kiel defended its title, defending its title of best in the nation, Donn Parson, debate coach and assistant professor at Kiel.
Last year KU teams placed first and third in national competition.

psychology, said. The drive will continue up to the time of the elections.
The CAF drive will begin Wednesday and end Friday. It will solicit student contributions, according to Linda Sheeby, Garden City senior, and Molly Crain, senior, or co-chairman of the drive.
All funds collected in the drives will go to the national institutions of the UNAF and CAF for distribution to candidates.
Recipients of UNAF funds are chosen according to their anti- war credentials, their chances of being elected and the role that support could play in deciding a given race, Mrs. Saher said.
These criteria, along with the candidates' ideas on welfare and population, are used by the CAF in choosing candidates to supervise.
The UNAF is presently supporting the Senate and Congress in November's November elections. The CAF is supporting eight Congressional candidates.
Kansas Lt. Gov, James
DeCoursey, Democratic
candidate for the Third District
House seat, is one of the candidates under consideration for support by the CAF.
Mrs. Shaad, who is blind, lives alone in the large apartment. She said, "It is very wonderful to have the building so closely together," she added. We would like very much to have some other buildings made."
Irvin E. Youngberg, executive vice president of the Association, said there was a waiting list for the apartments, which are located on a first floor served by a servicer.
The CAF will campaign for contributions in residence facilities and will set up tables in front of the Union, Auditorium, Hoch Auditorium.
Youngberg said it was hoped that more apartments like Sprague could be built within the next three to five years. He said students from other universities apartments for retired faculty was unique to the KU campus.

The play, to be given in modern French, will feature both music and modern music. Psychodelic effects will be intensely
The play, which is set in 15th century Provence, a southern
province of France, deals with Christ and Lucifer. The first part is about Christ being condemning people to hell. The second half is a parody of the first and Lucifer being condemning, Johnson explained.

"I just don't like the idea of one committee deciding what is best for you," Pat Stilmore, St. Louis junior. "As far as my school goes, there are no rules; there is no tradition on campus and anymore, and there is nothing anymore, and there is nothing anymore."

So, tomorrow night at the stables, band together with your fellow man (or woman) and in unison take a huge gulp of SFB (student's favorite beverage) and THEN—low voices on the bass part, high voices on the soprano part—let the assembled multitude of your AAHHH's rise on high.

"I'm glad they are not having a queen this year," said Nancy Knudsen, Lincoln, Neb. junior. "It just isn't very important."
"It's not realistic to have one girl get the entire student body involved, while a whole homecoming is most likely the kids in sororities and fraternities not really an all-girl affair." Harris, Camdenton, Mo. junior.
"I think we should have a hearing, but really no reason not to except that some people felt there might be misinformation," said Debbie Trisel, Mike's assistant.
Dick Wintermote, executive director of the alumni association and head of the Homecoming students on the committee in decision after much consideration. He said that in the past, people had complained about money spent on the decorations.
