Huskers Suffer In Men's House Decorations
The Jayhawk should be a happy bird tomorrow after cooking, burning, and eating Cornhuskers in the Homecoming displays and decorations of the organized halls and fraternities.
Alpha Tau Omega used the theme, "We'll kickapo out of Nebraska U." in featuring "Hairless Joe" and "Lonesome Polecat" throwing corn into "kickapo joy juice". Pi Kappa Alpha features a Jayhawk eating corn and spitting fire toward a snoon of football players.
The Delta Chi's Jayhawk wides a corn rocket to the Big Seven conference title. The Jayhawk of Oread hall is flying between the goal posts clutching a football in his claws and an ear of corn in his peak.
The display at Battenfeld will show a Jayhawk attempting to overcome a Cornhusker who is trying to steal the Big Seven cup.
At the Phi Chi's, Dr. Jayhawk is trimming the corn of a voluptuous spot-lighted figure representing the Big Seven.
A toicomotive with a revolving drive wheel is traveling in front of the Alpha Kappa Lambda house. The sign reads, "Let's go back to Miami."
The Beta Theta Pi's have arranged a board of trade with a ticker tape machine giving reports of "Jay-hawk stock" and "Nebraska corn."
The Lambda Chi Alpha's Jayhawk is making "Championship Stew," while Delta Tau Delta's Jayhawk is mowing two 16-foot cornstalks with a power lawnmower.
"With men who know football best, it's K.U. 2 to 1," is the theme of the Phi Delta Theta's display showing a Jawhawk smoking a cigarette.
"Our team is rougher than a cob," is the theme of the Triangle's decorations and "They ain't so rough," is motto of the Kappa Sigma display. The motto, "We don't want to set the world on fire, we just want to turn up Nebraska," shows the kind-ardedness of the Sigma Nu's display of the burning of Nebraska.
The Phi Kappa Psi's used a paint company's motto, "We cover the earth," in their display of the 22 by 14 foot map of the Big Seven covered with paint by K.U.

Students Rally At Nebraska
Six University students carried the Jayhawk spirit to the Nebraska University campus Thursday but got wet in the process.
The group drove to Lincoln, Neb. to stage a pep rally for the Homecoming game and advertise the Club 11 Homecoming dance to be held from 9 p.m. to midnight tomorrow in the Union.
Several buckets full of water were thrown at the Kansan's open concertible.
The Kansans then hanged a Nebraska football player in effigy in front of the Nebraska Union building, Miss Hall said. A sign reading, "We'll Murder N.U.", was attached to the figure. NU. students seized the dummy and hung it from a second story window of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house, Miss Hall said. The figure was turned around and the sign altered to read, "We'll Murder K.U."
Miss Hall said Nebraska students almost locked them in the Nebraska Union building but they managed to reach their car.
The K.U. students were Miss Hall, Louise Haverkorst and Macille Parker, fine arts sophomores; Robert Bragg, Robert Hedworth, and Jack Stewart, College freshmen.

Submarine Important In Next War, Denfeld Says
"The naval strength of the United States is adequate at present," Admiral Louis E. Denfeld, chief of naval operations, told two University Daily Kansan reporters Thursday.
The admiral is a house guest of Dean and Mrs. DeWitt Carr of the School of Engineering. He was principal speaker at the all-student con- necation today.
"The armed forces must be built into the economy of the nation," said the tail, 57-year-old admiral. "We must have balance. We can't put everything into the armed services. The European Recovery program and other foreign commitments must be considered.
"We have fleet units in the Med-
iterranean and in the Far East," he said. "We are interested in protecting our interests in Middle-Eastern oil, and our forces there stabilize the areas and reassure our friends."
"Conversions of equipment on our submarines make them tougher and faster," he explained. "German devices which were being perfected at the end of the war, enable our submarines to stay under water for longer periods, and they are much harder to find."
He said that in any future conflict, submarines would have the dominant role. Changes in warfare caused by the atom bomb put the stress on the submarine.
The fleet air arm of the future will be much stronger. "We are building larger carriers and bigger aircraft for them."
On the question of racial segregation in the armed forces, the Admiral said, "The navy has always taken the stand that if any man can meet the requirements, he can attain any rank. Race, color, or creed are not considered."
Admiral Denfeld believes that the N.R.O.T.C. program is important in supplementing the ranks of junior naval officers. He explained that the plan provides the necessary reserve strength in the event of future conflict.
Admiral Denfeld was graduated from the United States Naval academy in 1912. He saw active service in World War I, and was in the neutrality patrol prior to World War II. At the outbreak of hostilities he was placed in charge of the navy's mobilization program, but saw active duty as commander of a battleship division. His flagship was the U.S.S. Wisconsin, which participated in the Okinawa operation and the bombardment of the Japanese coast. At the end of the war, he was chief of naval personnel.
Decorations Humiliate A Beaten Husker
When the women of K.U. finish with Nebraska Saturday the Cornhuskers will be plastered, grim, wet, cornered, beaten, and mimicked.
Alpha Chi Omega has a large shoe with a hole in the toe. A slogan pleads "Plaster That Corn." A Jayhawker chases a Cornhuskuser out of a book entitled "Grim Fairy Tales" in the decorations of Alpha Delta Pi. Prohibition is the big issue with Alpha Omicron Pi. It claims "Nebraska's All Wet." Briar Manor pleas "Let's Can the Corn," and little Jayhawker proceed to do so.
Carruth hall will husk the Cornhuskers to a parody of "I'm a Jay Jay Jayhawk." Chi Omega, with a junk heap in the yard, says "We'll Clean Up Saturday." Corbin hall presents the "N. U. Look" on a page of Woman's Homecoming Companion. Delta Delta Deltans will be screaming out "extras" of "Corn Face Cornered; Hawk Tracy Gets His Man Again."
Delta Gamma says "Can That Corn," and a 20-foot-high Jayhawk proceeds to do it. Foster hall says "Let's Can Them," and shows a corn field. Gamma Phi Beta shows a 40-foot ear of corn, partially eaten by a worm with a Jayhawk head. Hopkins hall has a small Dr. Jayhawk about to amputate a "corn" from the foot of a larger Jayhawk.
Jolliffe hall present a double feature at the "Sikes Cinema." Appearing in "The Shucksters" and "The Farmer's Slaughter," will be "Boras" Bertuzzi, "Phillis" French, "Tyrone" Griffith, and "Humphrey" Gilman. Kappa Kappa Gamma shows a cluster of Shmoos with these words, "When beaten they taste like Corn (huskers)."
Miller hall has a popcorn popper with the slogan, "Pop the Huskers' Corn." Monchonsia hall depicts Jayhawkers carrying corn to a popcorn popper in cans marked, "T.N.T.-Trip Nebraska's Team." Pi Beta Phi throws the Huskers with a large Jayhawk holding a glass of champagne, saying "Ears to You."
Sigma Kappa has a 15-foot Jay Hawker magician sawing a person into halves, with the words "We'll Get Them at the Half." Templin hall pops Nebraska's corn with lights, with the sign "Snap, Crackle, Pop." Theta Phi Alpha has a large Jay Hawker stirring "K.U. Corn Licker" in a bath tub. Behind the tub is a sign giving the ingredients, with members of the K.U. team representing per centages of the mixture. Below the list are the words "Especially blended to saturate 11 Cornhuskers."
Watkins hall has a box of "Cornhusk." a breakfast cereal, which they feed to Jayhawkers. "Breakfast of Champions" is written on the box. Harman Co-op is clipping the Nebraska team off a corn stalk.
HOUSTOUN WARING
State Short On Teachers
Despite a gain of 86 teachers registered with the Teachers Appointment bureau over the number registered in 1946-1947, there still remains an acute shortage of teachers in Kansas, Dr. H. E. Chandler, associate professor of education, said recently.
The call for 1,363 teachers to teach in Kansas schools had to be met with only 457 registrations. In addition to the 1,363 teachers needed by Kansas schools, the bureau also had requests for 1,516 teachers to teach outside the state. These calls came from 38 state, three territories, and two foreign countries.
"The supply and demand should begin to balance in two or three years," Dr. Chandler said. "The University will graduate approximately 150 teachers this year. Last year we graduated only 85."
Demand was particularly heavy, he said, for teachers in grade schools, and in music, English, science, commerce, home economics, social science, and mathematics. Only in men's physical education and in social science are supply and demand about equal.
Editors To Hear Adm. Denfeld Colorado Editor
More than 300 Kansas editors will attend the annual Editors' day at the University tomorrow. The conference will be highlighted by an off-the-record discussion of the foreign situation by Adm. Louis E. Denfeld, chief of naval operations.
Houston Waring, editor of the Littleton (Colo.) Independent, will follow Admiral Denfeld with a speech on "An Answer to the Hutchins Challenge." His address will explain the way in which newspapers are upholding the responsibilities of the press as posed by the findings of a committee headed by Robert M. Hutchins, chancellor of the University of Chicago.
Admiral Denfeld spoke to the all student convocation today. He will remain at the University for the editor's conference and to attend the Kansas-Nebraska football game tomorrow.
Mr. Waring has established an eight-man board of experts, in fields outside the press, to make a continuous and critical survey of the Colorado newspapers. Social scientists, economists, educators, and minority group representatives are on the board. The periodical reports of the board provide the pattern for better public service by the newspapers.
The Littleton Independent has won a state award for community service eight of the past 14 years. Editors day events begin with registration in the Journalism building, Leonard McCalla, editor of the Anderson Countian of Garnett, will lead a "wrangle session" in 102 Journalism building from 9:15 to 10:15 a.m. At 10:30 the two major speeches will be made in Fraser auditorium.
At 12:45 the editors will be guests at a plate lucheon in the Union. They will attend the Kansas-Nebraska game in the afternoon.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert E. Dawson, 705 Western Avenue, Topeka, announce the birth of a daughter, Deborah Anne, at Christ hospital Oct. 17.
