Freshmen To Strut At Nightshirt Rally
Parade Set For Eve Of CU Clash; Will March Down Main Street
Freshman women will take part in the Night shirt parade along with men, according to the Night-shirt parade committee. The traditional parade will be held Friday night on the eve of the football game with the University of Colorado.
and pigtails," said Earl Clark, president of the Ku Ku's, and member of the parade committee. "The rest of their costume will be left to their own discretion."
"The committee's plan requires every freshman woman to wear jeans
The men's garb will be the usual nightshirt or pajamas. No paddles will be carried by the Ku Ku's or the K-men this year.
There has been no announcement of the full details of the parade, but it probably will follow the custom of previous years and start from the Union at 7:30 p.m. The University band will lead the "snake dancers" on a route to Massachusetts street going through the business district and ending up with a rally in South park.
The tradition of the Nightshirt rally goes back to Chancellor Frank Strong's day in 1902. After the team had won the first football game of the season that year, elated students gathered in front of the chancellor's home. He appeared in his nightshirt, then, without further dressing, led the throng in a jubilant dash down Massachusetts. His garb set the precedent for the annual parade.
New street lights, which have been installed by the city, will be turned on for the first time when the parade hits Massachusetts street.
Sixth Dies From KC Riot
Kansas City, Sept. 27—(UP)—A police officer, wounded in the Sept. 20 night gun battle, died in general hospital today to raise the toll of that fracas in an apartment to six.
Four of the dead were police officers, one was a man who engaged the officers in the exchange of shots, and the sixth was a bystander who failed to heed a command to halt.
The last victim of the fighting was Sgt. Bill Wells, 36, member of the department since 1940 and a sergeant for the past four years.
Sergeant Wells was sprayed with bullets fired by William Bell as he and his partner, Kieffer Burrus, ran up to the apartment building where three officers already had been killed. Patrolman Burrus was wounded but was released from the hospital the following day.
AAUW Hears K-State Dean
"Growth, scholarship, practical education, and civic activities are principles upon which the American Association of University Women was founded." Miss Margaret Justin, dean of the School of Home Economics at Kansas State college, said Saturday at the membership tea of the Lawrence chapter.
Marie Bardwell, College senior,
and Virginia Albury, fine arts
sophomore, played background piano
music during the tea. Maxine
Albury, fine arts graduate, played violin solos. Approximately 200 women attended.
The second principle was scholarship. For women desiring a college education and financially unable to have one, a fellowship program was set up. Practical education was included in the constitution of the association.
When founded, 1881, the first principle of the A.A.U.W. was that of continuation of the growth of the college woman after graduation, Miss Justin said.
The fourth principle is civic activity. Statistics today show that several thousand more women than men exercise the right to vote, Miss Justin said.
Traffic Violators Noted By Students
More than 3,000 violations of traffic laws were noted in one eight-hour period by Lawrence high school students recently.
The study was conducted on Massachusetts street as a part of the Safety Week program sponsored by the Lawrence Safety Council. A total of 4,839 vehicles passed during the time students watched.
The highest number of violations was caused by speeding. Nearly 2,400 motorists were clocked at speeds faster than the legal 15 miles an hour on that part of the street.
Henry Co-op To New Home After Repainting Furniture
After more than two years and a lot of hard work the Don Henry coop has expanded from a small apartment housing 12 men to an organization of 34 men housed in a building larger than either the Jayhawk or Harmon co-op.
One of the biggest jobs the men had to get their new home ready was to scrape the cream enamel from all the furniture. The men prefer varnished instead.
Operating under the student housing association, the Don Henry co-cp recently purchased the Sleepy Hollow house located at 1420 Ohio street. The house has 17 rooms.
Now that they're settled, a schedule has been worked out so one of the men spends an hour each day doing various household chores. The men take turns preparing breakfast, dinner and supper each day. The co-op cooks its own meals with food bought by a "purchasing agent" from wholesale houses in Kansas City or from the Lawrence co-op.
On weekends special duties are assigned according to the work to
Dave Wilkie, president of the co-op, said "when the original co-op was formed in the fall of 1946 we decided to name the organization after the first K.U. student killed in World War II. After some consideration we decided on Don Henry. Henry was a Lawrence boy who served in the all-volunteer Abraham Lincoln brigade in the Spanish civil war."
be done. This may include such jobs as painting, waxing, or cleaning up the house and yard. This work is planned so that each student need not spend more than two hours to complete the task.
Officers of the co-op besides Wilkie are John Eberharkt, secretary, and George Hursig, treasurer. Instead of a housemother or proctor the co-op has house parents, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Klaus.
Band Adds 70 After Tryouts; Total Is 139
Seventy new band members were selected during tryouts, Prof. Fussell L. Wiley, director of the University band, has announced New students compose slightly more than one-half of the band's 139 members
The old Don Henry apartment located in the business section of town has been taken over by a new organization called the Rock Chalk co-op.
An all-male marching band will be possible this year for the first time since the war started, due to the increased number of men in the band, Professor Wiley said. The marching band will play at home football games and will consist of 120 men.
During the last ten days, Professor Wiley estimates nearly 300 students attempted to join the band. Persons who missed tryouts may make individual auditions by agreement with the director.
After the football season the concert band will be cut to 115.

Josef Stalin, Premier— Is He Still No.1 Russian?
Washington, Sept. 27—(UP) The state department's "white paper" on the Berlin negotiations today raised the question of whether Premier Joseph Stalin is still undisputed boss of Russia.
The document disclosed that on Aug. 23, Premier Stalin and the Western envoys agreed in principle on a solution to the Berlin dispute. The soviet premier promised he would direct his commander in Berlin, Marshall Vassily D. Sokolovsky, to remove all restrictions that had been placed on the Western powers.
But a week later the white paper said, negotiations in Berlin showed that Marshal Sokolovsky was seeking to increase rather than decrease, the restrictions on transport."
Moreover, the document added when the Western Powers called this to the attention of the Kremlin, they were told that Marshal Sokolovsky was right in his interpretation of the agreement and that they were wrong.
Diplomatic sources said this abrupt turnabout indicated either that Premier Stalin had backed down on his promise of Aug. 23, or that he had been overruled by the powerful Politburo, the controlling

body of the Communist party. It was recalled that President Truman, in a speech several weeks ago, expressed the belief that Mr. Stalin was a "prisoner" of the Poliburo.
