'Keep Cost Down At Homecoming Committee Says
The Homecoming committee suggested Wednesday an expense limit for homecoming decorations. House decoration costs should not exceed $50. Parade floats should not cost more than $25, excluding the rent of a truck.
Alumni Registration First
These suggestions were made because of rising living costs. The committee also decided that students will devise more original and striking decorations if they have to substitute skill for money.
The schedule of homecoming activities will be similar to that of last year. Alumni registration will begin at 3 p.m., Nov. 21. Each alumnus will wear a tag giving his name and year of graduation.
A parade at 7 p.m., Nov. 21, will form at South park and proceed down Massachusetts street to Seventh street. Students will then gather at the WREN building for a rally. Eighth street between Vermont street and Massachusetts street will be blocked off.
A basketball game between letter men and new players will follow at 8:15 p.m. A dance may be scheduled after the game.
'Hullabaloo' Starts Day
Registration on Nov. 22 will begin at 9 a.m. The "Hullabaloo," an event of skits and an alumni mixer, will start at 10 a.m. in Hoch auditorium. Coffee and doughnuts will be served at 11 a.m.
Pre-game ceremonies will take place at 1:45 p.m. and crowning of the homecoming queen will be at 3 p.m.
Committee chairmen are Joan Woodward, publicity; Fred Montgomery, executive and finance; L. E. Morgan, parade; Raymond Nichols, distinguished guests; Richard S. Hawkinson, house decoration; Russell Wiley, between halves.
Robert K. Lawton, rally; Rodney Armstrong, basketball; James Hitt, queen; Clarence Bliesner, traffic; Marion Minor, open house and "Hullabalo"; Shirley Wellborn, registration; Midred Seaman, KFKU.
Death Found Accidental
A coroner's jury returned a verdict of accidental death in Saturday picnic shooting of Miss Jean Faith Atthebery, Emporia State Teacher's college student, by Ralph Kiene, engineering junior at the University.
Miss Atthebey was shot when she rose suddenly from a picnic fire just as Kiene was firing at a target with a light pistol. The accident happened near Cottonwood Falls. Miss Atthebey died before reaching an Emporia hospital.
Kiene and his roommate, Donald E. Owens, engineering junior, were present at the inquest. Owens was with Kiene at the time of the accident.
Play To Run An Extra Night
"Joan of Lorraine" will be held over for another performance toorrow night, Prof. Allen Crafton said today.
"The house is completely sold out for tonight's performance and only a few seats remain for the final show tomorrow," he said.
Tickets for the final performance are still available in the ticket office in the basement of Green hall. The office will remain open until 4 tooday and will open at 9 a.m. tomorrow as long as the limited supply of tickets lasts.
Ned Linegar, Y.M.C.A. secretary, also made a critical comparison of American and foreign universities and cited the recent Time and Life magazine coverage of K.U.'s convertibles as an example of the lack of serious purpose in the American university system.
American universities would not have the "guts" to stand up to Fascist acts as the German universities did, Dr. Winburn T. Thomas of New York told members of the Jewish Student Union Tuesday.
The group set Nov. 2 as the tentative date for a picnic with the Jewish women's group of Lawrence.
Universities Hit For Cowardice
Dr. Thomas told the Jewish union that he had found that foreign students often had more power than the director or chancellor. In some places, the leader of the student body even has "nicer offices" than the director, he said.
"The student body in foreign universities even controls distribution of state scholarships and when they call a strike it means something," he said. "Of course, their student bodies are much smaller than they are here."
Dr. Thomas said that foreign students are "living in the crucible of history" and know what is happening in the world.
"Only about 20 per cent of the veterans overseas understood the basic conditions. Most of them saw only the girls," he said. "The strongest isolationist block comes from the veteran."
Coach Sauer will show the pictures and comment on the play in the game.
Game Movie To Be Shown
Pictures of the Kansas-Oklahoma football game will be shown at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in Hoch auditorium, George Sauer, coach, announced today.
To show the pictures at this time, the University orchestra had to relinquish its practice time in the auditorium. Russell L. Wiley, director, gave his permission for use of the auditorium.
KU's 'Beards' Don't All Hate Long Skirts; Some Are Just Bored With Shaving
Merle Baker, College sophomore, likes the new skirt style and claims that his combined mustache and beard are to show students how repulsive they look.
"Besides building up a western atmosphere, beards are an inexpensive costume," Carter explained.
Herbert Foster, engineering senior,
explains that he has tucked away
h's razor since he wants to be in
the spirit of things at the annual
Kappa Sigma "Red Dog Inn" party
Saturday. Robert Carper, College
sophomore, who suggested that
boards be grown for the party, said
that about 20 men in the fraternity
were taking the same course as
Foster.
Not all University students growing beards are in protest to the long-skirt movement, a check around the campus reveals.
Another student, whose name was not disclosed, asserted that he is developing whiskers because "shaving is so much trouble."
'Feed Europe Or Face War,' Says Dr. Thomas
"We're living in a damned world" declared the Rev. Dr. Winburn Thomas at the World Student Service fund kick-off Tuesday.
"Unless the people of war-devastated countries are fed, the world we know will crumble about our ears in another war," he said.
The extreme importance of the W.S.S.F. drive was impressed upon the crowd of 150. Dr. Thomas said, "You save a life when you solicit money for this fund. It's as simple as that."
"The students of the world are the leaders of tomorrow. I have lived with them in Europe. Their one meal a day consists usually of a bowl of cereal and their lunch a layer of patches. I wonder if the American students would try to continue education in the face of such adversity."
The short, stocky Oklahoman recently returned from a tour of the European universities. He continued:
That dictatorships arise where hunger prevails was pointed out by the minister, who said, "I was in Japan for seven years before the war and I know that all people there are not rats. They were hungry and the leaders promised food.
"One woman in Germany told me, 'We were hungry for so long under the Republic that we would have followed the devil if he gave us a change of diet.'"
Basketball Seats Still A Problem
Across from Court House
"We are waiting to hear what the students want," Mr. Falkenstein said. The past season odd- and evennumbered activity books admitted to alternate games on the home schedule. For some games, Hoch auditorium began to fill up two hours before game time.
Mr. Falkenstien added that he thought that reserving the seats would be a possible solution, but that for the plan to be fair, seat reservation would have to be rotated from game to game. Such a plan would entail too much book work to be practical, he said.
Bock Visits UN, Hears Eleanor
Robert L. Bock, first year law student and member of the Kansas legislature, returned to his studies at the University after a week's expense-free trip to New York granted by the sponsors of "We the People," radio program.
BILL'S GRILL QUICK COURTEOUS SERVICE
"I was allowed a $300 expense account and a guide was provided during most of my stay in New York," Bock said.
Visiting the United Nations, Bock lunched with the wife of Canada's delegate to the Assembly and was present during Eleanor Roosevelt's report to the United Nations Assembly.

Frosh Lawyers Will Meet
Robert Taylor Called Before House Committee
Washington—(UP)—House Redhunters today summoned a "reliant Robert Taylor to tell how a "government man" allegedly put pressure on him to make a wartime movie which struck the actor as "Communist propaganda."
The "government man" who allegedly pressed Taylor into making a pro-Soviet film was Lowell Mellett, wartime administrative assistant to the late President Roosevelt and now a newspaper columnist.
Mellett has denied that he put any pressure on Taylor to make the film, M-G-M's "Song of Russia." All he did, Mellett said this week in a press statement, was to ask the navy to defer Taylor's induction until he finished the movie.
United Nations Put Off Partition Of Palestine
Lake Success, N.Y.—(UP)—The United Nations Palestine committee has decided, over Russian and United States opposition, to put off a showdown vote on partition until detailed plans are complete.
The group must agree on the size and composition of separate subgroups to fill out the majority plan for partition, to reconcile Arab proposals for a single Arab-Jewish state, and to attempt to conciliate Arab and Jewish stands.
No Poultryless Thursdays Would Save More Grain
Washington—(UP)—Food conservation chief Charles Luckman meets with his seven-member executive committee today to decide whether to scrap poultryless Thursdays.
The agriculture department, it was learned, already has prepared a report showing that the substitute program worked out by the poultry industry probably would save more grain for Europe than chickenless and turkeyeyes days. The plan would not affect the no-egg rule for Thursdays.
