200 Freshmen Turn Out For Nightshirt Rally
From start to finish the Nightshirt parade was a noisy affair. Freshmen nightshitters, estimated at 200 strong, trailed and clung to the official convertibles shouting, "We're breaking all traditions."
Chancellor Deane W. Malott and Dean Laurence C. Woodruff of student affairs who rode in the convertibles were appropriately clad in nightshirts and freshmen caps.
While flash bulbs illuminated the excited faces, the air was filled with the clatter of bells, songs, yells, fireworks and just plain commotion. Gets Motor-Cycle Escort
The parade started at the Union and made its way downtown with an escort of three motor-cycle policemen. Residents of Lawrence and University students lined both sides of Massachusetts street to watch the throng snake-dance and sing in unison. "To hell with South Dakota."
About half way down the course several leading Ku Ku's were grabbed and ended up the frosh, much delight of the spectators. Ku Ku's Miss Paddles
One Ku Ku said that the lack of paddles was one of the reasons the paraders got out of hand.
"If the Ku Ku's got out of hand with their paddles, I imagine we could take care of ourselves," Terry Francis, Freshman nightshirter, remarked.
The tired pajama-clad Jayhawkers reached South park finally where the huge pile of packing crates and kindling wood was set afire. Minutes later the cry was heard for the chancellor to appear, but he had already left the procession with Dean Wood-ruff.
Plames. Flood Lights Help
The flood lights were put out while the roaring flames soared; colored flares were shot into the blue-black sky. Shortly after, the cheerleaders made use of an effective loud-speaking system which was set up on a platform.
Coach George Sauer, and co-captions Don Fambrough and Otto Schmidtbacher thanked the people of Lawrence and the Jayhawkers for the spirit they shown. Coach George Sauer remarked "it's such cheers and spirit that does so much for the team."
Free Food For Crowd
After singing the Alma Mater, the crowd formed lines for the free cider and doughnuts provided by the Chamber of Commerce.
Free tickets were distributed for shows at the Varsity and Patee theaters. Later, the Granada was thrown open to all students. There, the prizes for the loudest nightshirt in the parade were won by Albert Cahahan, engineering junior. Larry Nelson, College freshman, won the prize of a book of theater tickets for wearing the most old-fashioned nightshirt.
In the cars with Dr. Woodruff were Nina Green, College senior, Eileen Horner, Fine Arts junior, and Virginia Joseph, College junior. In Chancellor Malott's care were Beverly Fox, graduate student, Gloria Hill, College junior, and Joy Godbehere, College junior.
Dr. Esterly Funeral Set For Tuesday
Feminal services for Dr. George A. Esterly, Lawrence dentist who died Saturday, will be held at 2:15 p.m. tomorrow at the Congregational church. Dr. Esterly was a former University student.
While at the University Dr. Esterly prepared for attendance at Kansas City-Western Dental college where he was graduated with a degree of doctor of dental surgery in 1898. He was a member of Phi Kappa Psi, Delta Sigma Delta, and Cimicron Kappa Upsilon fraternities.
Dr. Esterly had been ill for a year. His illness lost year forced him to break a record of not missing a home football game in over 40 years. For more than 35 years he attended all Kansas-Missouri games.
New Reds Called Aggressive By Three KU Professors
The comments of three University professors on the new nine-nation Communist league point out that the brand of communism being practiced today is an aggressive and active one.
Ethan Allen, political science professor, questioned whether the new "information bureau" means the revival of the comintern.
The creation of the 'information $ \textcircled{*} $
the creation of the 'inform-
center' in Europe is further evidence
of the aggressive political program
of the U.S.S.R. It is, of course,
designed to 'prove' to the peoples of
western Europe that the Russian
program is superior and deserves
continuous support.
Wen't Ease Taste?
"Perhaps a full fledged and liberally financed educational program of our own might be put into the ideological struggle with good results. C cerathe chish of ideas would be far less both in importance and particularly when one thinks of the awful effects of atomic warfare," he added.
"Whether it means the full-fledged resurrection of the international comintern, is, as yet, a moot question. But it comes at a moment of increasing tension between the SJ and the KK, and certainly is not likely to create better feeling between the two countries," Professor Allen said.
None Want Slugging War
W. E. Sandelius, political science professor, pictures the situation as one wherein factions in both the
United States and Russia were attempting to force the other hand.
"I don't think revival of the Communist international changes the picture. Communism continues to be extremely active throughout the continent of Europe and highly suspicious of ourselves. I don't believe Russia wants a 'slugging war' just as those who bristle most in their opposition to the Soviet government hopes a show of readiness to resist, will force the other side to yield; just as the more aggressive elements on our side hope that the Russians will yield in this 'cold war' as it has been called by Walter Lippman, Professor Sandellius explained.
Niles Will Open Music Series
Return To World Communism
John Ise, professor of economics, summed up the situation as an indication of Russia's return to the doctrine of world communism.
"Women of Kansas," a program dedicated to Kansas women who have become famous, will be broadcast over KFKU.
The carols are "Matthew, Mark Luke and John," "The Seven Joys of Mary," "The Carol of the Birds," and "I Wonder As I Wander."
The Chamber Music series is new this year. It is presented in commemoration of the, 25th year of the University Concert series under the management of D. M. Swartwhout, dean of the School of Fine Arts.
John Jacob Niles, folk song and ballad singer, will open the Chamber Music series at 8 p. m. Oct. 20 in Frank Strong auditorium.
Accompaniment for the ballad singer will be by dulcimer. The dulcimer is an instrument consisting of wires stretched over a sounding board and played by two light hammers.
The Niles concert will consist of five groups of love songs, nursery rhymes, carols, folk tales, and child ballads.
Gene Courtney, writer for KFKU, said most of the programs will be educational and pertaining to academic life.
Among those portrayed will be Etta Moten, actor and singer, and Amelia Earheart, widely-known aviatrix and the first woman to fly the Atlantic ocean.
The love songs are "The Little Mohee," "The Lass from the Low Councely," "Black is the Color of My The Lass He Is," and "Go Way from My Window."
William Simpson, professor of aeronautical engineering, will attend the State Airport conference at Manhattan tomorrow. Governor Frank Carlson and Milton Eisenhower, president of Kansas State college, will address the meeting.
KFKU To Present 'Women Of Kansas'
The nursery rhymes are "I Had a Cat," "Frog Went Courtin'," and "The Frog in the Spring."
"The new 'information bureau' shows that Russia is returning to a pretty aggressive communism, and that she is going all out for the spread of communism," Professor Ise said.
The folk tales are "The Pendennis Club," "The Man Who Couldn't Tell Time," and "Peg-Leg Pete."
The child ballads are "Barbara
Eve," "Ypsy Laddie," and
"The Hanman."
The Chamber Music series is not included on the student activity tickets will be sold. There will be no special mission will be $5 for six concerts.

Be Sure Phone Number Is Right With Registrar
568 Students At Conference
Seventy-eight Kansas high schools were represented by 568 students at the 25th annual journalism conference held here Saturday.
Joy Miller, Associated Press wire editor, and Erle Smith, newscaster on station KMBC, both of Kansas City, Mo. spoke at the conference.
Miss Miller warned the students that writing is hard work and that there is bitter competition in the field. She did, however, encourage those who are willing to do the work required for competition. He admitted that she they other jobs could produce so much satisfaction for those who succeed.
Smith warned that the field of radio newscasting requires more than a good voice.
"Newscasters have to be able to write their own news copy and be able to read it authoritatively, he said.
Even With New Pictures Some Still Lose A-Books
A few students who lost receipts for their activity books may have to enjoy football games by radio or pay the admission price at the gate. Although identifying pictures are on the front of every book, some students have secured more than one by presenting receipts they found.
News Of The World
One student employee who was distributing the books said part of the missing books were probably lost, but it was evident a few had fallen in the hands of illegal owners.
KCU Dean Says War Is Evitable
War with Russia is not inevitable depending upon present and future actions of the United States and Russia. That is the belief of Dr. Norman C. Royall, dean of the College of liberal arts and sciences of the University of Kansas City, as expressed in his talk to the Unitarian Liberal club Sunday night in the Pine room of the Union.
Hypothetical Enemy
"Those who speak now of a 'hypothetical enemy' clearly mean Russia. The war Russia has just fought was a war of fear." Dr. Royall said. He pointed out that the Germans were inside Russia and the people had reason to fight.
America thought with its outmoded dogma founded on history clashes in the United Nations with our past because we feel we can control the future if we control the present. Russian philosophy is based on 19th century Darwinian biology and Marxian economy; they believe in a destiny which makes them stall in trying for their eventuality, they are designed their system naturally will be dominant." Dr. Royall said.
Vital Interests At Stake
One hopeful sign to Dr. Royall is the fact that neither the American or Russian people show any inclination to go to war unless someone hits them first. Germany will pay dearly in nationalism, history, and world standing as well as financially.
Honomichl Will Head University Russian Club
Vital interests, and not democracy is the reason for our intervention in Europe—we're not going to let Europe organize against us, he added.
Evalyn Homonichi, College sophomore, was elected president of the Russian club at its first meeting recently in Fraser hall.
Wine Workers May Sue
Other officers elected were George Davis, vice-president; and June Davis, secretary.
All conversation and songs were in Russian.
Plans were made for teas and other social affairs later in the semester.
Washington — (UP)—The government bumped into two-way complications today in its effort to save grain for Europe through curtailments by restaurants and whisky makers. The developments:
One industry source hinted the restaurants might be satisfied if they were allowed to serve wieners, sweet breads and other meat by-products on Tuesdays and use eggs in preparation of other dishes on Thursday. He said the program as-is
1. The Distillery and Wine Workers union (AFL) threatened to file suit for loss of wages under the Taft-Hartley act against distillers who comply with President Truman's request for a 60-day shutdown.
2. Restaurant spokesmen were expected to demand that some modification be made in the president's chicken feed and eggless Thursday.
would force some restaurants to close down altogether.
Second Hurricane Hits Florida Within 30 Days
Miami, Fla. — (UP) — Thousands were homeless today in southeast Florida as the second hurricane to strike here in less than a month left the highest flood waters in years and damage amounting to millions in its wake.
Torrents of rain followed the storm as it passed over Florida's east coast Sunday morning leaving rising floods that sent more than 2,000 persons fleeing from their homes to huddle in Red Cross shelters.
Comparatively little damage was done by the 70-mile winds, but the flood that followed wrought destruction that was estimated by City Manager Richard Danner at $2,000,000 for Miami alone.
Dean Carr Tells How Engineers Get Their Jobs
T. DeWitt Carr, dean of the Engineering school, today emphasized the importance of engineering students being provided with employment information that they obtain through the University.
"It is important to the student for us to restate periodically our procedure of contact between the graduating student and the companies interested in employing them," Dean Carr said.
He added that company inquiries received at the engineering school are placed on the dean's bulletin board, and department heads are requested to pass the information to the department chairs. For Old and New Graduates
When a graduate is requested but none available, Dean Carr said that his office offers to assist the company in obtaining graduates from the next semester by asking that company to send an application sheet to his office. The application sheet, when filled out by the student, is returned to the inquiring company with a suggestion that they send interviewers to the school, Dean Carr explained.
"These inquiries are for both former graduates and graduates of this fall or spring.
"If any graduate or student meets the company's requirements and is interested, he should contact this office and we will notify the company and give them the information left with us as to his qualifications."
The University Daily Kansan has arranged with Dean Carr's office to print a summary of job requests and type of engineers needed as the requests are received.
"Other companies send representatives periodically to interview interested graduates. These interviews are arranged in advance and the students are given an opportunity to make an appointment. Application sheets are usually filled out in advance and turned in at the time of the interview."

Drivers Warned On Stray Permits
A list of all missing parking permits have been given to the University police according to A.J. Troville head of the parking committee. Anyone who finds a permit and attempts to use it will be subject to disciplinary action by the student court, which has been authorized to dismiss violators from the University for a semester.
Employees at the parking office are verifying addresses of all those holding parking permits. Any one who has changed his residence is requested to notify the parking committee immediately.
It will be the first two-day meeting and first college campus meeting for the chapter in several years. Prof. George M. Beal, chairman of the department of architecture, will direct local arrangements.
