36th Homecoming Is Colorful Event
Bv ROBERT NEWMAN
Homecoming, the gayest, most colorful event of the semester, will swing into motion at 7:30 tonight when the identity of the Homecoming queen is announced at the talent show rally in the stadium.
Final touches are being added today on the elaborate house displays which hae appeared overnight in a blaze of "Beat Nebraska" spirit.
The Nebraska band will appear with the Kansas band in pre-game and halftime ceremonies. Both bands will march on the field playing the national anthem at 1:45 p.m. At the half they will present an unrehearsed combined field show and will participate in the crowning ceremonies.
Visitors and alumni from the midwest have already begun to pour into Lawrence. Fraternity and sorority presidents report that an overflow of old grads are expected.
E. L. Falkenstien, athletic business manager, said this morning that 34-000 seats to the game have been sold. He said tickets would be available at the gate. Blue skies and a warm Kansas sun today, plus favorable weather reports for Saturday should mean good spectator weather. The k-off is at 2 p.m.
Open house in the Union will start Saturday morning's program. The Nebraska and K.U. two-mile relay teams will compete in the stadium at 11 a.m.
Aerial bombs at short intervals between 7 and 7:15 tonight will be the signal for the beginning of the rally in the stadium. The annual freshman-Varsity basketball game will start at 9:15 p.m. in Hoch auditorium. Tickets at 50 cents are available at the athletic office.
Adm. Louis E. Denfeld, chief of naval operations, will crown the queen of homecoming and her attendants at the halftime ceremonies of the game. The crowning ceremony will begin when both bands move into a heart covering the field. Fifty Jay Janes will form an arrow through the heart while the band plays "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" as the queen comes onto the field.
Among the distinguished homecoming guests will be Lt. Gov. Frank Hagman, Reps. Albert Cole and Erett Scrinver; Andrew Schoepel, former governor and now candidate for senator, members of the board of regents, and several legislators.
One hundred disabled veterans from the Wadsworth and Excelsior Springs hospital will attend the game as guests of the Dorsey-Liberty American Legion post and auxiliary. They will be served a dinner following the game.
A Homecoming varsity dance at the Union will top off the program Saturday night.

Denfeld Says US Must Control Sea
Bv GERALD FETTEROLF
The United States must control and make continuous use of the sea to sustain this country's internal life. This was the theme of the address given by Adm. Louis A. Denfeld, chief of naval operations, at an all-student convocation this morning.
Federal support of public education will be important in the future, said Dr. J. W. Twente, professor of education, at the first meeting of the debate team Thursday.
Schools Need Federal Aid
"Iinadequacy of resources to keep schools going is the argument for federal aid." Dr. Twente continued. The argument of anti-federal aid is that there is no mention of schooling state's responsibility. They feel that federal aid will lead to control and in the constitution, and thus, it is the dictation of the curriculum, he added.
Federal aid in education is nothing new, and there is some of it today in many schools, he continued. The real reason why more has not existed in the past is that most of the legislation has been in the hands of those interested in private education.
"The tramp steamer is a more realistic symbol of peace than a be-
"Every American child should have opportunity for at least eight years of school and maybe 12, but some states do not have enough income to back each child. If the government can help this situation, then federal aid is desirable," he concluded.
Aide's Wife Has Appendix Removed
Mrs. Howard A. Yeager, wife of the aide to Admiral Louis E. Denfeld, will spend Homecoming in the hospital. Her appendix was removed at 10:30 p.m. Thursday in Watkins hospital.
Mrs. Yeager arrived in Lawrence at 6 p.m. Thursday with Captain Yeager and Admiral Denfeld.
One Will Become Homecoming Queen
Miss Veverka, 18, is a College freshman. She lives at Corbin hall and is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Morris Veverka, Plainville. Miss Sewell, 18, is a College freshman. She is a pledge of Sigma Kappa sorority and the daughter of Mrs. Esta M. Sewell, Independence, Mo.
Ann Cowger (left), Yvonne Veverka (center), and Nancy Sewell (right), were announced today as the three finalists for Homecoming queen. The winner will be announced at the talent show-rally in the stadium tonight. Miss Cowger, 18, is a fine arts sophomore and a member of Chi Omega sorority. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Irvin L. Cowger, Topeka.
The three were chosen Wednesday on basis of interviews of a committee of local businessmen and newcomers to the faculty. Twenty-nine candidates were interviewed.
"wildered looking dove biting on an olive branch," he snapped.
"Sauer lacks the material this year to make a powerful team, but two years will make a difference," the admiral said.
The navy's top man entered the auditorium as the band played "ruffles and flourishes." The audience, following the lead of the cadets and midshipmen, rose to its feet as he came on the stage. During the speech the four-star admiral's flag stood on the left of the speaker and the national ensign to the right.
Admiral Denfeld said that "peace today is in delicate balance.
"The surest way to upset that balance is to assume commitments that we cannot back up by force if necessary," the admiral told the students.
"Control of the sea then is one of the principal functions of the navy, to keep the sea lanes open for ourselves and closed to our enemies."
Elior Gibson, College freshman, was elected secretary-treasurer of the Negro Students association at meeting Thursday night. Miss Gibson fills a position vacant since September.
He said that in the event of another war the enemy would strike first at our lifeline, the sea.
The admiral explained that the airlift into Berlin was made possible only because the U.S. controlled the sea. He pointed out that the navy carried the gasoline and the supplies which made the airlift possible.
"Today the submarine is an even more formidable weapon than it was in the last war. Using schnorkel, an air intake apparatus, modern submarines can stay submerged almost indefinitely and make detection extremely difficult."
Admiral Denfeld will remain at the University to inspect the military science personnel today. Tomorrow he will make an "off-the-record" speech on world affairs at the Kansas Editors' day conference. He will attend the Kansas-Nebraska game tomorrow, and will crown the Homecoming queen at half time.
Admiral Denfeld said that the navy is now engaged in war games off the southeast coast of the U.S. The exercise is for some of the latest type submarines and the conveying problems involved in submarine warfare.
Negro Club Elects Gibson Secretary
He reminded the students that the University of Kansas had given the navy a number of men, even their football coach, George Sauer.
A program committee to arrange future activities was also selected. Members are Barbara Beaty, graduate student; Earl Burton, College junior; Arthur Ford, pharmacy sophomore, and Evelyn Harris, College sophomore.
Other officers besides Miss Gibson are Ford, president; Lewis Welton, vice-president; Miss Harris corresponding secretary; James Grayson, executive secretary, and Floyd Thuston, representative to the A.S.C.
IRC Will Meet Oct. 26
The first meeting of the International Relations club will be at 6:15 p. m. Tuesday, Oct. 26 in Kansas room of the Union, Marvin
Martin, president, announced today.
