Cheerleaders Of Miami University Want KU Yells
A spirit of friendship and cooperation, expressed in a letter from the University of Miami cheerleaders, was welcomed by K.U. cheerleaders, who received the letter this week.
The letter was addressed to the captain of cheerleaders, University of Kansas, and was signed Kitty Hyatt Collins, director of cheerleaders. University of Miami. It read:
"For the last few years the University of Miami cheerleaders have assisted the visiting Orange Bowl cheerleaders in every way possible.
"Greetings from the land of sun-
mine!
"We have found that the best rooters are the high school bands and drill teams that sit in the end zones. With your approval and cooperation, we would like to split this section-half for Kansas, half for Georgia Tech, and teach them your favorite vells beforehand.
"Incidently, how many of your cheerleaders are coming down to the Orange Bowl?"
"If you would send me a copy of these yells, we could start organizing immediately, so, by game time, you would have over 500 eager Kansas fans that know your yells.
"From advance information, I understand that you will have plenty to cheer about and we want to cooperate to make it a great day.
"Any information you may desire will be furnished promptly and I look forward to seeing you in Miami!"
Sincerely,
Kitty Hyatt Collins
Director of Cheerleader
The appearance of K.U. cheerleaders at the game in Miami depends on whether the band makes the trip. If the band goes, the cheerleaders will accompany them. Otherwise no plans have been made for providing cheerleaders for the Kansas rooters.

Seek Support For Band Trip
Topeka — (UP) — A Missouri today added $2.50 to the $10 given by the Governor of Kansas toward sending the Kansas University band to the Orange Bowl.
Mrs. A. Reed Wilson of Kansas City, Mo., sent a contribution to the Governor's office.
Return of Chancellor Deane Mallett to Lawrence from the East was awaited before a conference between the University head and Governor Carlson on the subject of sending the 120-piece K.U. band along with the football team to the New Year's encounter with Georgia Tech.
At an organizational meeting to promote the trip by the University band to Miami Thursday afternoon, plans were drawn up to gain statewide support for the movement.
The committee decided against a direct appeal to the student body that will be accepted from individual students and campus organizations. Support of alumni and state business men will mainly be sought.
A telephone survey today by members of the committee was being conducted to find out how much financial support could be obtained from the state for the proposed trip.
No action will be taken by the committee to actually raise funds until the plan is presented to Chancellor Deane W. Malott tomorrow morning.
Another meeting was to be held at 3 p.m. today to make further plans.

Team May Fly To Bowl Game; Hotel Selected
The Jayhawkers will stay at the 135-room Venetian hotel while in Miami for the Orange bowl game, according to E. C. Quigley, athletic director.
It's Like The Old Army Game
Mr. Quigley flew to Lawrence Wednesday after spending five days in Miami making arrangements for the bowl game. He will meet with Coach George Sauer today to complete detailed plans.
Final arrangements have not been made, but it is believed that the 55 players and coaches will fly to Miami, leaving Kansas City on Dec. 26. This will allow most of the players to spend Christmas with their families and still have four days practice in Miami before the game New Year's day.
Sales of the official University calendar will not be made in the lobbies of Frank Strong or in the Union because of lack of personnel to handle the booths. The calendar will be on sale on the campus only in the alumni association office, 226 Frank Strong hall.
While in Miami Mr. Quigley was unable to get any more tickets for the game for Kansas fans. If upper decks on the stadium are finished in time, a few more tickets will be available but too late for fans in Kansas to attend the game, Orange bowl officials said.
"The staff plans to take action against any firms which signed contracts to sell only the official K.U calendar, and which are now handling other campus or University calendars." Duane Postlethwaite, business manager, said.
KU Calendar Sales Cut
Richard B. Collins, circulation manager of the calendar, said that sales would be discontinued in the lobbies of University buildings.

Miss Gillen was a special student in the University School of Fine Arts in 1930.
There's more to a chicken than meets the eye, Dr. Guhl said. He said animal psychology was the basis
Dr. Guhl said when chickens are first penned together they start fighting. After the poultry pugilists have ceased fighting a "pecking order" is established. This order is similar to that in the army. The number one chicken has the right to peck any of $ ^{*} $
established. The chicken has the right to peck any of the flock beneath him. The runner-up can pass the peck on down the line to his inferiors, and so on down until it reaches the scrawny, welt-covered fowl who couldn't whip his weight in feathers. He is the equivalent to the army private, and he is the first chicken sold to the grocery store to be labeled, "fresh, plump,
for human psychology. Experimenting with some of the chickens he keeps penned up in Manhattan, Dr. Guhl found that hungry chickens fight more readily than their well-fed barnyard cohorts. He compared this to the starving persons in Europe.
Get Shots Now, Canuteson Urges
Zoology faculty members entertained Dr. Guhl before the speech with an informal dinner in the East room of the Union.
Flu shots will be available at Watkins hospital after the Christmas vacation, but students are urged by Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, student health service director, to get the shots before then to prepare for the seasonal increase in colds and influenza.
Shots are given at the health service from 8 a.m. to noon and 2 to 5 p. m.
