Game May Set Stadium Record
Attendance at the Kansas-Missouri football game may set a new mark of 37,000 or 38,000, said Earl Falkenstien, business manager of athletics.
Everything is sold except two sections directly behind the goal posts." Mr. Falkenstent said. "There may be a few seats scattered in the lower part of the stadium and in the south section on the west side."
Each week some member of the University faculty will read for 15 minutes from the best of English and American poetry. Merrell D. Clubb, Sr., professor of English, will conduct the first five programs.
"Poetry for Pleasure" is the title of a new program series which will begin over KFKU at 9:30 p.m. tomorrow.
Falkenstein said that a crowd of 37,000 would require that bleachers be set up. He said that his top estimate would be reached only "if we can get the bleachers set up, if all students use their activity books, and if the weather is good."
This week Professor Clubb will read the introduction to "Songs of Innocence," by Blake; "Kubla Khan," by Coleridge; "Cargoes," by Masefield; "The West Wind," by Masefield; "Ah, are you digging on my grave?" by Hardy; "Fire and Ice," by Frost; and "So we'll go no more a-roving," by Byron.
KFKU Has Poetry Show
Martha Lleifer, College senior, was eldest
graduate of the University
Women's Gym club.
W. D. Paden, associate professor of English, will conduct four programs after Professor Clubb's series.
Martha Laffer Elected Girl's Glee Club President
Other officers elected are Joan Happy, business manager; Ann Hogue, secretary; Lois Richardson, librarian; Joan Bennett, assistant librarian; Shirley Brown, accompanist; and Carol Buhler, student director.
Dale O'Brien 37, former publisher of the University Daily Kansan, and now advertising director of the Encyclopedia Brittanica in Chicago visited the University Friday.
1937 Journalism Graduate Visits University Class
He spoke briefly before the class in Advertising Copy on the use of the Encyclopedia Britannica art collection as a medium of advertising and public relations.
"And what does the professor look like," asked the reporter as he questioned the professor's secretary.
It's Old And Battered, But A Hat's A Hat For 'A That
"Well," replied the secretary,
"his' kind of short and squatty."
The reporter was not impressed. He even looked puzzled.
Suddenly the secretary pointed to a battered, old, gray hat on the professor's desk and exclaimed, "Just the type of man to wear a hat like that."
'Phog' Writes Third Sports Book
Dr. Forrest C. Allen has completed his third book, "Coach 'Phog' Allen's Sports Stories."
The book will be released Thanksgiving. Cartoons by Richard Bibler Fine arts sophomore, will appear throughout the book.
Divided into segments, rather than formal chapters, Dr. Allen presents colorful sketches of American athletics.
"Each narration has a story back of the story." Dr. Allen said.
He accents the "development of personality, as well as physique through athletics, contradicting the delusion that when a boy competes he is just a muscle brain."
Training tips for coaches and athletes, pep talks, and humorous anecdotes highlight the book.
Photographs of various sports stars, games, and even a picture of "Phog" and his characteristic milk bottle will be included in the book.
Speakers' Bureau Is Formed
Prof. E. C. Buehler of the speech department announced that a University student speakers' bureau is being formed.
"Any student who feels he has an informative or controversial topic to offer should be present at the first meeting in Green theater at 4 p.m. Wednesday." Professor Buehler said.
Students selected will be split into teams and will speak at civic clubs in Lawrence, Kansas City, and other nearby cities.
During the war a similar project, the Victory Speakers bureau, proved successful and the one now being formed will be patterned after it.
The University student speaker' bureau will be under the direction of William Wilkoff, graduate graduate student while a committee of three faculty members will select and edit the contributions to be used, Professor Buehler said.
Chaloney, Nuts—Who Cares As Long As Pies Hold Out?
When clowns, card-sharps, can-can girls, freaks, barkers, and a carnival gang take over, there's little time for dancing. So thought the majority of sightseers at the Carnival dance held in the Military Science building Saturday.
Crowned queen of the carnival was blonde Jo Anne Hudson, Pi Beta Phi. Letitia Laming, Kappa Kappa Gamma, and Jeanne Parrott, Chi Omega were chosen as runners-up for the title.
Who's Jake Chaloney?
The first prize-winning booth was Phi Delta Theta's "Barber Shop." There, for the price of a ticket you could shave a lathered balloon with an open razor. Said Dale Oliver, boss barber; "The girls are the more expert; the fellows are all wet."
Lemons His Favorite
Phi Delt Booth Wins
Chi Omega's "Available Janes" won a trephy for second place. It was who he gave a "carnival air to the place" by assigning volunteers the task of pushing pies, smashing records, and squirting perfume over on unsuspecting victims." Lemon's Favorite.
You ask how it feels to get slapped in the kisser with a lemon pie? Charles Medlock, the "bulls" in the Sigma Alpha Epsilon's booth remarked bitterly "It's tasty work," but he didn't know where Jake Chaloney was.
But where was Jake Chalonev?
"This is the noisiest place I've ever been in, "said Virginia David, College senior. "Think Fll smack that character with the die again."
"I can't hear what you're saying but you sure look funny saying it" answered Zelina Higginbottom, College sophomore. They didn't know Jake.
In the "House of Secrets" otherwise known as the "bumper girls with the bumper crops" Jim Silivus, Tau Kappa Epsilon's star attraction said "I'm getting more kicks out of this than the spectators."
We thought we'd learn the know-how about getting rich without working. Robert Beine, Sigma Chi's peerless "Magician" was generous. He left our pocket linings intact.
Spectators Amuse Actor
Please, where was Jake Chaloney?
