STUDENT NEWSPAPER
Duke Ellington Will Bring Band To Hoch Jan.19
Duke Ellington and his "Carnegie hall concert" orchestra are scheduled to play in Hoch auditorium Jan. 19.
The two and one half hour concert is sponsored by the local chapter of the American Veterans committee. Marko Haggard, chairman, said that a percentage of the profits from this concert would be given to foreign relief.
The 20 piece orchestra is making appearances on college campuses throughout the country.
Donald M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts, commenting on the Duke's appearance at the University said that "such a type of music we are not interested in promoting. Names like Carnegie hall and philharmonic are used for prestige and attraction. I have the same to say for this appearance as the Norman Granz jazz at the philharmonic which I didn't rate high."
Two men will patrol all the University dormitories beginning today and continuing every night of the Thanksgiving vacation from 5 p. m. to 7 a.m. said Irvin Youngberg, housing director.
Will Patrol Dormitories
All girls staying on the campus during the vacation will live in Miller hall. Spooner-Thayer, Oread, McCook, and Battenfeld dormitories will house the men.
This is the same procedure that was followed last year and has proved effective.
The fraternities and sororites will provide their own safety precautions. Mr. Youngberg has warned them and all organized houses to watch for and investigate all suspicious activities.

The only thing that was cold w victory celebration as the jubilant Hoch auditorium to the Military Science building to take part in the greatest Homecoming climax the University has ever witnessed.
The absence of the red and white jeep and the convertibles filled with beautiful Mt. Oread girls went unnoticed as the noisy crowd was treated to a holiday of celebration.
The rally at Hoch began when E. C. Quigley, athletic director, addressed the audience and gave his reasons for the success of the team as due to "three units that make for champions." He praised Coach George Sauer, the players for their commendable attitude, discipline and conduct, and the student body, which he called "the cream of the 40,043 spectators" at Saturday's game, for their spirited support of the team.
In addition to the skits from the Hullabaloo which included the Foster hall "Melloroonies" the Miller hall "Walter Mitty" sketch, another feature was the Missouri Funeral services by Pi Kappa Alpha. The hapless Mizzou kitten was viewed in a pastel blue sarcophagus and laid to rest amid the pulchral tones of James Townsend, the officiating Pi Kappa Alpha minister.
Coach Sauer presented the team and introduced his assistant coaches. The coach warned that there is still another hurdle to jump before the season is over and bowl games could be considered.
Don Fambrough told the students of the importance of their cheering during Saturday's game while Red Hogan said that "if any other quarterback called the same play four straight times while on the 8-yard line, he's crazy."
After the movies of the Kansas- Nebraska game, the crowd was treated to cider and doughnuts donated by the A. S. C., Owl society, and K-club, and served by the
Froshawks.
The crowd then went to the Military Science building where they were guests of the University D'ily Kansan in an afternoon party. Charlie O'Conner and his orchestra played for dancing.
E. C. Quigley, director of athletics told 700 shouting, applauding dancers at the Victory dance Monday night that since Kansas' win over Missouri he had received "long distance calls from both coasts" in regard to bowl bids for the Jayhawkers.
The story in Monday's Daily Kansas listed the services as beginning at 8:30 p. m.
Twenty-minute guided worship services will be held at 8:30 a.m. Monday through Friday beginning December 1, in Danforth chapel.
Speaking during intermission of the dance, sponsored by the athletic department, Mr. Quigley told the crowd that he didn't know when the news would break" but that he hoped to receive "some kind of news" about a post-season game by Tuesday night.
Worship Services To Be At 8:30 a.m.

The queens were selected by Charles Johnson, dance manager, as they entered the Military Science building. They are Betty Martin, Mary Lou Martin, Nancy Ludlow, and Shirley Constantos.

Vet Stalks Bunny - Result, Wabbit Stew
So I'm standing there by Frank Strong hall minding my own business like every good reporter should, when I spot this schnook making like a toe dancer. Now this is more than somewhat peculiar even at this institute, so I starts to address the character.
"Shhhhh!" says he.
"Check," says I, and he goes on walking on his toes with a most concentrated look on his pan.
All of a sudden he jumps, grabs, snatches, and yells, "Got him!" and up he comes with a live rabbit.
This character's name is Otto Koerner, and he is a College senior.
Now like I'm telling my Everlovin' there is just one moral to that story. To wit, don't be a rabbit around places where there are broken down, starved veterans.
