Now They're Picking Yells From Floor
Wilkins' To Give Recital Monday
The first fall musical presentation at the University of Kansas will be a recital by Marie Wilkins, soprano, and Joseph Wilkins, tenor, at 8 p.m. Monday in Hoch auditorium.
Floor sweepings from the Union bookstore will ease the strain on cheerleaders' voices this year.

The couple appeared in leading roles of performances by the Shubert Opera company and Mrs. Wilkins became a member of the Metropolitan Opera company.
Joy Godbehere, College junior, told freshman members of the Y.W. C.A. about the campus, the functions and size of the W.Y.C.A., and the University in general Monday.

Future meetings were outlined and freshman members were introduced.
Miss Godbehere was aided by Leah Uehling and Margaret Eberhardt, College juniors, and Kathleen O'Connor and Nancy Smith, freshmen.
As the more dubious students discarded their receipts, Mr. Woolley

--alphabet.
The books will be ready for distribution at 8 a.m. Oct. 6, Mr. Klooz said. Desks will issue the books from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day until everyone has his book.
Cheerleaders will have top priority on the megaphones, but other organizations may use them, Mr. Woolley said.
Get Your Activity Book Alphabetically
Student activity books will be picked up alphabetically instead of by number as originally announced. Karl Klooz, bursar, said today.
Students are to present their activity book receipts at desks which will be set up in the rotunda of Frank Strong hall. Each desk will have charge of a subdivision of the alphabet.
Receipt for the activity book will admit students to the Iowa State football game Oct. 4.
The original plan was dropped to forestall congestion in the corridor. Students would have had to stand in line twice instead of once.
If you are a veteran with a yen for pioneering, the U.S. Interior department may have just the offer for you.
Pioneer Plan For Veterans
you.
Interior secretary Krug has announced the opening of 234 million acres of unimproved land along the Alaska highway for homestead settlement. Settlement will begin Thursday, and veterans will have priority until Feb. 2, when it will be opened to the general public.
To obtain title, a veteran must settle on the land. However, military service can be applied toward meeting homestead requirements. It is possible for a veteran to establish his rights to land by seven months residence.
The only catch seems to be in that part of the order which reads "the land is unsuitable for agricultural purposes."

Business Students To Form School Association Soon

Council To Represent Organizations
The council will be composed of the officers of the Business School administration, members of all committees, and one representative from each of the professional organizations of Alpha Kappa Psi, Phi Chi Theta, and S.A.M.
These eligible to join this association include all students of the School of Business, graduates working for an M.B.A., industrial management students, Economics majors, and pre-business students.
Under educational activities, the council has planned an all-Business School convocation with the idea that the guest speaker be an outstanding personage in the business world. They plan to revive the J-Hawk business news and present an industry-management training film series for the students. Guidance to pre-business students will be offered throughout the year.
Plans have been made for an extensive year's program. Social activities will include three mixers and card parties, a picnic, and a banquet for the graduating seniors. Plans Convocation

The next morning, the Daily Kansasan began making phone calls in an effort to reach Harold Herriott. Calls went through to his fraternity, Phi Kappa Psi, to the registrar's office, to a former address in Lawrence, to the veteran's service, and the dean of men. Either the source did not know or refused to give the information on Herriott's home address.
Herriott's sister, Jacquelyn, lived at the Pi Beta Phi sorority house last year. After calling the dean of women, the Daily Kansan finally got results from the Pi Phi's. The address was 3070 50th street, Woodside, N. Y.

The Daily Kansas sent a reporter to search telephone exchange to search for the listing. Result: no listing.
The Daily Kansan then called New York and asked the operator there for the listing. No phone.

Friday morning at 10, a call came through from Western Union. Hertiott's wire was there.
From that point on, the story in obvious
In nerve strain, Miss Keller, our phone girl wasn't shaken, even after all the buzzing.
Cost: In time, a rough estimate of 36 hours, counting waiting.
