Jayhawks Carry Fight To Tigers On Home Ground
Two Jayhawks have broken out of Kansas and are running wild all over Missouri in pursuit of a couple of Missouri Tigers.
The chase, which is the scheme of Shannon McKimm, College freshman, started this morning when three carloads of students, arrived in Columbia.
At last report, the Jayhawks were basing the Tigers off the Missouri University campus and back toward Lawrence. Newspapers and townspeople in Missouri towns along the way have been told of the unhappy fate of the Tiger.
The chase has been delayed in Booneville, New Franklin, Sweet Springs, Concordia, and Odessa so that the citizens there could see a preview of the Tiger's fate Saturday in Memorial stadium.
Kansas City's rush hour crowd will see the Tiger run before the Jayhawk today at 5 p.m. The Jayhawks, after chasing the Tigers through many of the downtown restaurants and hotels, to drive them into a Kansas City alumni association rally in the President hotel.
From Kansas City, the chase will come to Lawrence tomorrow morning where the quarry will be pursued all over the Hill and in and out of classrooms.
Tomorrow night, the hapless Tigers will be chased up to the 7:30 rally in front of WREN building. Their identity will be revealed to the crowd at that time.
As you have probably guessed, they are not Missouri Tigers at all, but only well disguised Jayhawkers who sacrificed their reputation to the cause. Their pursuers who are dressed in a specially made Jayhawk costumes, will not molest them.

Dear Sir:
Eagle Meeting Today For All Students
The Eagle; campus publication, will hold a meeting of all interested persons at 5 p.m. today in the southeast corner of the Union building, Bruce Bathurst, member of last year's staff, said. A pre-organizational meeting was held Wednesday to find the number of interested contributors.
Wilman Finke Refreshments will be donated by the A. S. C. Owl society, and the K club.
As president of the newly formed chapter of SPCJ (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Jayhawkers), here at Columbia, I am authorized to announce the completion of our drive for funds to be used for the purchase of wheelchairs, gauze, litters, plasma, etc., for the use of injured Kansas football players.
Although the amount itself is not large, it carries with it an abundance of sympathy from the depths of our hearts. We trust you will put the
Perhaps a bit of explanation would be in order. During the past few weeks, the members of this society have repeatedly approached the athletic staff, the President of the University, and even the curators of this noble institution, pleading with them to cancel the November 22 football contest, and thus avoid needless slaughter of young, innocent Kansas players. But our only answer was a relentless "No!" Hence the establishment of this fund.
money to its best possible use, in the pursuance of our noble cause. Prayerfully yours, Richard D. Gish,
We realize from the content of your letter, as well as from its date-line, that the misguided epistle was written before Saturday, Nov. 15, 1947 (the day.on which M. U. played some school from Oklahoma, I believe). In the light of this information you may be excused in your premature actions on the ground that you are young, innocent, and totally misinformed about such weighty matters as the respective needs of our two teams.
Dear Sir:
Believing, furthermore, that brevity is the better part of both wit and repartee we return your proffered funds and refer you to an old saw . . "Charity begins at home."

2,500 Students To Meet Here
About 2,500 students from United States, Canadian and Mexican colleges and universities will attend the North American Student conference on Christian frontiers which will be held at the University from Dec. 27 to Jan. 1, Hobart Hanson, director of institutes and conferences for the University Extension division, said today.
This is the 15th quadrennial conference. Once in every four years each student generation meets to study and evaluate the world program of the church and decide the direction of their future leadership. The conference is sponsored by college "Y" and church groups that make up the United Student Christian council, plus the Student Christian Movement of Canada, the Home Missions council and the Foreign Missions conference.
The purpose of the conference is to secure student volunteers for the world wide mission of the church. A great number of the missionaries who are working over the world today have been recruited through this movement, Mr. Hanson said. Congressman Judd To Be Chairman
Congressman Judd
Walter H. Judd, congressman from Minnesota, is conference chairman.
Missionaries, statesmen, and labor leaders from North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Africa will be here to speak and work with the students, Mr. Harson said. The complete list of speakers will be issued later.
Kansas—Cloudy, slight intermittent rain today and tonight, changing to snow northwest and extreme west late today and spreading over west and north-central late tonight. Light rain or snow ending extreme east Friday morning. Light temperature change today. High today 40-48. Colder western two-thirds tonight, except much colder extreme west. Much colder Friday. Low tonight 15 west to 40 east.
"This is an opportunity for every student to serve a movement of world-wide significance." Mr. Hanson continued. "Instead of the house-mothers having to urge students to offer their rooms, it is hoped that the students will take the initiative in urging the person in charge to make their rooms available."
WEATHER
Conference headquarters is in the Mission room of Myers hall. Any student interested in learning more about the conference is welcome there any afternoon between 2 and 5, Mr. Hanson said.
The student delegates to the conference are selected by local and national organizations which sponsor their attendance. Nearly every university and college in the United States will be represented.
Big Problem Is Housing
Employees of the Union cafeteria have volunteered to give up part of their Christmas vacation to aid in feeding the delegates. However, the big problem at present is housing.
Since the conference will be held at a time when most students will be at home for the Christmas vacation, a large housing committee is calling every fraternity, sorority, organized house, and rooming house, to urge their cooperation, Mr. Hanson said. Students Should Offer Rooms
Big M Just Grew Into A 'Beat MU'
The Kansas student cheering section and player's bench will face a gaint "BEAT MU" Saturday at the homecoming game instead of just the large "M" burned in the field last week.
Wednesday night someone using kerosene burned a large "BEAT" stretching from the 5 to the 15-yard line and a "U" on the other side of the "M" stretching from the 42 to the 50-yard-line making a 45-yard "BEAT MU".
During the past week-end Missouri sympathizers stole onto the turf and burned a giant "M" streching from the 20 to the 40-yard line directly in front of the Kansas cheering section.
Pi K A Burglary Is Fifth Crime
The series of burglaries and robberies including the recent burglary of $100 from the Pi Kappa Alpha house at 1409 Tennessee street, is the usual occurrence at this time of year according to the police department.
They could give no reason for this. Neither could the University psychology department. No robberies have been reported within the city itself.
Police have no clues on the five robberies. They have no idea whether the criminal is a student or an outsider.
James Townsend, member of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, told police that he left his billfold containing $100 on a table in his room when he went to class at 8 a.m. and that it was gone when he returned at 11 a.m.
The burglary occurred before letters urging precautionary measures were sent yesterday to the various rooming houses by Irvin Youngberg, housing director.
Four other recent cases including an assault and robbery on a law student, Harold Miller, and burglaries from Miller hall, the Phi Delta Theta, and Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternities.
Jayhawker subscribers have been asked to pick up their issues as soon as possible.
Subscribers Asked To Get Jayhawkers
So far, 2450 copies have been distributed leaving about 1550 Jayhawkers yet to be picked up. Students are reminded to have their cards with them when they go to the office to pick up their copy.
"We have approximately 50 copies left for sale to students outright but we're not going to hold them too long," Larry Simmons, business manager, said.
Queen Will Be Introduced By Chancellor
Who will be Homecoming queen?
Her identity will be revealed for the first time at 10:45 a.m. tomorrow in Fowler grove when Chancellor Mallot introduces the queen and her two attendants. Victor Pirnie, Eugene Innis, and Patrick Thiessen, members of the Ku Ku club, will escort the three girls.
An old medicine man will break into the midst of the rally distributing pills (red hots) which are guarranted to build up that old spirit needed for whipping the Missouri Tiger. He is old Doc Yak, a tradition at all homecomings before the war and a man of much chatter and good cheer. He will be presented by John Moorhead.
Th first 150 alumni from a distance of 50 miles or more who register at the desk at the Union at 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. tomorrow will receive a red and blue aluminum Jayhawk souvenir tag for their automobiles. Shirley Wellborn, chairman of the registration committee, said.
Each alumnus will be given a badge bearing his name and date of graduation when he registers. Colored maps of the campus are available to persons desiring them.
Miller hall, Pi Kappa Alpha, Corbin hall, Delta Chi, Foster hall, and Delta Gamma won the Hullaballoo skit elimination tryouts Wednesday. These organizations, which were selected from 12 entrants, will compete for prizes at the Hullaballoo at 10:40 a.m. Saturday in Hoch auditorium.
Young Democrats To Attend Banquet
Three members of the University Young Democrats will represent their group tonight at the special banquet to be given in honor of Mon C. Wallgren, governor of Washington. The banquet, which is being sponsored by the Wyandotte Young Democrats, will be held in the Chamber of Commerce rooms in Kansas City.
Robert Bock, first year law student, Richard Hollingsworth, second year law student, and Paul Barker, College sophomore, will attend the meeting and give reports on it when they return.
Governor Wallgren will announce his candidacy for Vice-President on the Democrat ticket at the banquet. Margaret Truman will be unable to attend the banquet as she had originally planned.
Study 'Life History of A Veteran's Check'
To find out where the veteran's money goes, a survey of 130 married veterans is being conducted by a marketing class in the School of Business. The students surveyed were picked at random from the 1,300 married veterans at the University.
The purpose of the stay in school on $00 a month. William A. Knoke, instructor of the marketing class, said that he expects to gain information which can be of use in studying student expenses.
The purpose of the survey is to find just how the veteran manages to
A few of the questions are: "Do you have a charge account in Lawrence? Do you read the University Daily Kansan? Do Lawrence merchants encourage credit purchases?"
Students are not required to give their names as the survey is conducted purely to gain data. After the survey is completed, the interviews will be broken into more detailed categories, Mr. Knoke said.
Jayhawk's 'Voice Is Worth $15
No one has ever produced the sound made by a Jayhawk.
With this thought in mind, the Union Activities committee decided to award a $15 prize for the best Jayhawk "voice" at the Hullabaloo at 10:30 a.m. m. Saturday in Hoch auditorium.
Five dollars in Union credit at the fountain and cafeteria will be given for the second best Jayhawk sound.
