Game Tickets To Be Sold Dec.1To6
The student priority period for purchasing basketball tickets will extend from Dec. 1 to 6. After that time, sale will be opened to the general public, Earl Falkenstien, athletic business manager, said today.
Since there are eight home games, excluding the Notre Dame game, students will be given a choice of a block of four games they wish to play.
"We'll stick to this system as long there is any selection left". Mr. alkenstien said. "No seats will be reserved."
The block of four tickets will cost students $2.15. However, this does not include the Notre Dame game which will be played Dec. 23, during the Christmas holiday. Tickets for that game will be open to both students and the general public and will probably go on sale the second week in December. Reserved seats will be sold for that game.
The Notre Dame game is the only home game which will be handled in this way. Many students will be away at the time of the game. Townspeople and alumni will have a chance to see the 1948 Jayhawkers in action, Mr. Falkenstein said.
Advising To Start Monday
The mid-semester advising period for freshmen and sophomores in the College will be held Monday through Thursday, Gilbert Ulmer, assistant dean of the College, announced today. All freshmen and sophomores are required to consult their advisor during the four day period.
A list of underclassmen and their advisors is posted on the College bulletin board on the second floor of Frank Strong hall. The office hours of each advisor are also listed. Students are requested to make a special appointment with their advisor if the office hours conflict with class schedules, Dean Ulmer said.
You can start packing those suitcases now. Thanksgiving vacation will begin at 6 p. m. Nov. 25—that's Tuesday.
Jayhawkers Are Favorites To Trip Rough, Tough Cowboys
Vacation Begins Nov. 25-Really!
Seventeen women will compete for the titles of Honorary Cadet Colonel and Honorary Midshipman Captain at 9 tonight, in the Union ballroom.
Jim Spavital will be the power in the Aggie backfield. The 196-pound halfback is second in the nation in punt returns, having run back 17 for 394 yards, about 23
The big problem for Sauer's team will be how to halt the Cowboy habit if rising up against highly favored clubs. The Aggies played football this year in defeating Texas Christian, 14 to 7 and Temple, 26 to 0
Because of conflicting statements in the K-book and the catalog of University courses, many students and faculty members have been forced to officially began. The catalog set the time as noon Nov. 28.
The unbeaten Jayhawkers will be favorites to repeat last year's victory when they tangle with the Cowboys from Oklahoma A. and M. Saturday at Stillwater. And, for the 16th time in 17 games, a Sauer-coached team will spot the opponents the weight advantage.

Otto Schnellbacher Is New K-Club Head
This will be the sixth meeting between the two schools on the gridiron. Kansas has held a three to two edge, having won in 1923, 9 to 0; in 1925, 13 to 3; and in 1946, 14 to 13. It triumphed in 1924 and again in 1931.
Otto Schnellbacher was elected president of the K-Club Thursday night at a reorganization meeting. Lynn Leigh was named vice-president; Hal Moore, secretary; Warren Reigle, treasurer; and Dick Shea and Dexter Welton were chosen heads of program and organization committees.

Cadets To Pick ROTC Queen
Last week the Kansans gave up 23.3 pounds each to Nebraska, and last year they were dwarfed by a ponderous Cowboy line which topped them 30 pounds per man. In Sixth Meeting
The departure date is settled now, and you'd better be back to class at 8 a. m. Dec. 1—that's Monday morning.
In Sixth Meeting
E. C. Quigley, athletic director, and Bill Easton, track coach, spoke at the meeting.
The pony forward wall of the linemen 17.9 pounds per man. This isn't a record; it's about the average weekly handicap.
Biggest of Sauer's worries, however, will be the injury epidemic which has struck the line. The problem is especially serious at the tackle posts. Hugh Johnson was on crutches after a fall and Ed Lee has been out for most of the season with a similar injury. K.U. Backs Bruised
The Jayhawker backfield was battered in last week's bruising struggle at Lincoln, but none of the key men will be kept out of the game. McNutt has been favoring a sprained wrist and a twisted Griffith are both badly bruised. However, coach Sauer plans to give all plenty of action.
yards per try. Jim Parner, a starter last year for the Aggies, is another threat at fullback.
The man to fear in the Kansas backfield, Ray Evans, is in good shape. Ray was the kingpin in last year's upset victory over A. and M., scoring both touchdowns, one on a 24-yard reverse.
Alaska Wants Statehood, Says Gov. Gruening
Proposed Alaskan statehood is an all-American problem, said Ernest Gruening, territorial governor of Alaska at convocation today.
"The matter of defense, of economic development and of expansion of existing facilities depends on this step."
Taking a whirlwind weeks' leave of absence from his Alaskan gubernatorial duties, he is on a cross country speaking tour with scheduled speeches in 11 states.
He's On A Cross-Country Tour
"All of our governmental processes are directly under congress," he said. "This makes it difficult to acquire property, start judicial proceedings and administer law, which are taken for granted by citizens of the United States."
Alaskan transportation is sadly neglected, Governor Gruening said No Money For Highways
"In defense, we turned to the air. Alaskans are probably the flyingest people on earth. They fly much faster than the average person in the States.
"Alaska does not receive any money from the United States for highways as do the states. In a country of the size and physical make-up of Alaska, lack of good roads is crippling.
"Another inequality is the matter of freight rates. They have been in the hands of Seattle corporation for years and are in the highest in the world. This slows down development."
Popular misconception of the weather has much to do with the slow growth, he said. Alaskan Weather.Mild
Alaskan Weather Mild
"Contrary to wide-spread belief, the coast weather is very mild. It is very rainy, but will have fewer extremely cold days than will Lawrence. This is caused by a warm current which passes close to shore.
"Any thing I have seen in the states looks small and flat by comparison to the scenic wonders of Alaska.
"Alaska is the last wild game reserve on the continent. Many types of fur bearing animals are there which are extinct in other parts of the world. This leads to one of our main industries." Fortune
The size of the territory is often underrated said the speaker.
A warm and friendly personality, the governor said in a backstage interview that Alaskans will contribute to the councils of the nation, advocate, the hardship and the character which have built our great country.
"It if was laid on the United States, and the Mexican and Canadian states," he said.

34 Show Up At Send-Off
"A large crowd, win or lose, rain or shine, to greet the football team home from Stillwater is the only way we can apologize for the poor showing of his morning's send-off," Dick Vermeir, head cheerleader declared.
Wintermote counted 34 students at the rally, 35 per cent of 9500 students. He also said that for the 2016 winter matches commented on the poor support.
It is true that some students had classes and others found it difficult to get from class to the station on time, but there should be few excuses Sunday morning, Wintermote said.
Speech Tryouts To Be Monday
The "welcome home" rally will be at the Santa Fe station at 8 a.m. Sunday.
Tryouts for the student speaker's bureau will be held at 7:30 Monday night, in the Little theater of Green hall, W. T. Wilkhoff, instructor of speech, said today.

Students who qualify for the bureau will speak before civic clubs, college, and high school audiences throughout eastern Kansas and northwestern Missouri.
$ noon when the money was first discovered missing.
A member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity said that one of the members, Richard S. Hawkinson, had reported money missing on the same night as the TKE robbery. Hawkinson was not available for comment. City police said they had no leads. Meets Dark Stranger
The dark stranger was met in the hall of the fraternity house about 3 a.m. by Thomas M. Gregg, College senior, who was returning from work at radio station WREN. The stranger said he was looking for Harlan Burns, a TKE member, who was in Watkins hospital at the time.
Gregg invited the stranger to stay at the TKE house, but he refused, saying he was spending the night at the Phi Delta Theta house but that he would be back for breakfast. He dressed himself for a fraternity house, but the stranger said that he had his own car parked outside.
Housemother Sees Intruder
The other intruder was discovered by Mrs. Edna Ramage, housemother, who was awakened by about 6:15 a.m. outside where she heard someone enter the house.
"I thought it was the janitor but when I didn't hear him any more I got up to look," she said. "I heard him open the hall closet door and I heard him going out the north door. I ran to my window and saw him."
Mrs. Ramage described him as a young man, medium blond, with a sharp nose. He was wounded that night and carried in armored and carrying gloves in his right hand.
Gregg described the other stranger as being about 6 feet tall, with a mustache, black hair, and dark skin. He was wearing a grey tweed topcoat and a maroon tie.
Lonely Hearts? Well, No... Pat, Dottie Don't Need Dates
By JIM ROBINSON
"If you need a date that's plenty of fun, just call Pat or Dottie at 731." That's what the sign said so I rushed to the phone to be first in line and called 731. Dotte answered and I started my spiel.
With a broken heart and a "nose for news" I hung up and headed for the Chi Omega house to find out more about these girls that run a lonely hearts club and don't want a date.
"NO, NO, it's all a joke," the sweet little voice said. "I don't want a date,
I mean I don't need a date. We don't have a lonely hearts club. There
goes the other phone."
They Got Results
Late Thursday night someone scattered posters around the campus advertising a "Chi Omega Lonely Hearts club; Pat Barre president, and Dottie Thomas vice president." It wasn't Lag. advertising got results. The girls had plenty of calls.
"I even had a call from the dean of men," Dottie said. "No, he didn't want a date. He just wanted to know who put up the signs."
"Yes, Pat and I think it's lots of fun, but really we didn't do it. We got up early this morning and took
down as many as we could."
'Who. Us?Oh No!'
The girls also claim they don't know anything about a couple of ads in the University Daily Kansan that kept two southern Kansas boys up until 2 a.m. last week answering phone calls. (The advertisements read "Will tutor Parasitology and Calculus students cheap. Call—")
Dottie, a College junior, and Pat, a Fine Arts junior, are ready to let the feuding drop. They have been deluged with phone calls since the signs appeared. They haven't accepted any of the offers but they admit some of them sounded pretty good.
"I even had an offer to fly to the Army-Navy game." Dottie said.
Have I got that date yet? No, but I won't forget 731 and the Chi Omega Lonely Hearts club.
