Band Is Largest In KU's History
"I believe it is also going to be the best band in our history," said Russell Wiley, director. "They're reading like veterans already."
From 250 tryouts Professor Wiley has chosen 125 new members, of whom, approximately 35 are women and 90 are men. This year's band has 15 more members than last year.
Because of heavy attendance at the T.C.U. game Saturday the new band was forced to sit in scattered sections of the stadium. "That didn't dampen their spirits," Professor Wiley said. "They played until the end."
New uniforms, 125 of them, have been ordered and will arrive within three weeks, Professor Wiley announced. The new uniforms will consist of a full-length marine blue coat, pearl gray trousers with a crimson stripe, a pearl gray top-coat with crimson trimming and a pearl gold cap, naval officer style.
Union Booklet To Be Distributed
Free distribution of 1,500 extra copies of "Union Doin" will be made Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday between 9 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. in all University Daily Kansas distributing boxes.
"Union Doin's" is a booklet giving information of the facilities available to students at the Union and of the chairmen of the various committees.
Get Me An Air Pump, Mother-mystery to nearly everyone. On the field, it became a question of who could hold whom under the longest. Occasionally fans peered from behind umbrellas and soggy blankets to see Texas sink two fanthoms as they went around the end on a play.
My Water Wings Are Low
BY MARIAN MINOR
When a playful football fan shrieked, "wring me out and turn me over. I'm done on this side," soaked KU spectators breathed a miserable "omen" at Blues stadium in Kansas City Saturday right.
Damp but gay, both K. U. and Texas fans cheered hustily as rain poured in their eyes and down their backs as they watched the spectacle of barely distinguishable players walking back and forth on the field. Raincoat Sales Boom
Opportunists were busily hawking cellophane tent-like raincoats and frosty fans who were keeping their minds off the rain, helped the sates talk by asking, "Can two get in of those things?"
Muddy, but enthusiastic cheerleaders shed their raincoats and splashed around in front of the bleachers trying to inspire the damp spirits of the fans. Chukyba, Alain' Dead
Chivalry Ain't Dead
A husky gallant lugged his date over the paddles muttering, "I wish I didn't had that last cigarette," while the less chivalrous were booed for letting their dates paddle along beside them.
K. U. fans cheered and chirped "Those Texans have never seen rain before," when the Texas band members cawed barefoot on the field during the half-time wearing everything from tubas to megaphones to keep the water off their necks.
The actual football game was a
Many students were craning their necks to find the source of a phantom loudspeaker from above at noon today.
Immononed Equipment Dots Field
A coed wearing one beautiful red sling pump was seen peering at a puddle where she had last seen the other sink. Another deftly maneuvered her new nylons off while she was sitting in the bleachers. It was a trick that her date learned of only after the stockings were off, much to his chagrin.
Thomas J. Brown, first year law student, felt much better when he discovered that date Vivian Rogers, College senior, wasn't turning blue with the cold, but that her navy blue raincoat was even turning her auburn hair a plum color.
Alandend Equipment Inc.
Marilyn Jamison, College junior, who had blossomed out with the "new look" for the game was wondering how many baths it was going to have. The girls were also the kelly green that had drained from her soggy suit onto her.
Wanted: Plane For City Police
Two smarties were bundled up in men-from-mars outfits with only eyes peering out from behind slits. They could laugh while others soiried damply beside them.
It turned out to be from a plane blaring out with advertising for several Lawrence firms.
Jayhawker football fans were beginning to think that if the game was an indicator of another season like that of last year, they will be developing web feet by the end of November.
Police chief Bliesner said a city ordinance prohibits the use of a sound truck, but that use of a plane would probably be legal under the present rule. "Anyway," one of his assistants said, "we've got no plane to go after 'em."
Raymond Nichols, executive secretary to the chancellor, said, "From a plane it makes the disturbance doubly bad."

Moore Talks With Vishinsky, Is House Guest At Hyde Park
Moore Talks WIs House Guest Martin Hall To Talk Thursday
Martin Hall, educator, author, and world traveler will speak on the subject, "Can We Avert the Crisis in Europe?" at 4 p.m., Thursday, in the Kansas room of the Union building.
A native of Germany, a naturalized citizen of the United States, Mr. Hall has traveled a great deal in Europe during his journalistic career. From 1924 to 1936 he wrote for English, French, and German newspapers. In the last five years he has toured the United States on three different occasions. He has lectured in 44 states and has written for magazines and newspapers in this country.
He joined the German underground in 1933 and there was a price on his head when he escaped to France. In 1936 he made his way to France one jump ahead of the Gestapo and remained in Paris one year and several months in England before coming to the United States to make his home in Los Angeles.
He will speak also before the Kiwanis club at noon and the Plymouth Congregational church at 7:30 p.m. He appears in Kansas under the auspices of the Institute of International Relations of Wichita and will give a series of lectures in Kansas cities. In the University lecture he will be presented by the department of political science and the Y.M.C.A.
New Bitter Bird Needs More Staff
An entirely new Bitter Bird will make its appearance on the campus this fall, according to Byron Shutz, managing editor, and Ruth Clayton, advertising manager.
The new magazine, whose first issue is slated for an early November publication, will be considerably enlarged in scope and will feature University social life, sports, fashions, and humor.
A meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, in the Union ballroom, to fill several vacancies on the staff. Any student who is interested in applying for positions in advertising, art, circulation, publicity, photography, makeup, as a cartoonist, or contributor, is urged to attend.
Students Crowd Union Cafeteria
"Far more students are eating at the Union now than at this time last year, but somehow we are managing to serve everyone." Miss Hermina Zipple, Memorial Union director, said today.
"This is the living room for the University and we want the students to know that and feel at home here at all times," Miss Zipple said.
The Union will soon start special Sunday tea or party services for student groups, fraternities, and sororites. Reservations and arrangements should be made well ahead of time, Miss Zipple said.
The music appreciation room with Mrs. Jean Moyers as full time attendant has programs daily from 12 noon to 7 p.m. Hours on Sunday are 12 noon to 4 p.m.
!-M Deadline Is Thursday
The deadline for signing for fall intramural competition is Thursday. There will be both six and eight men teams with a maximum of 16 men out for both teams. Applications will not be accepted after Thursday for fall intramurals.
It was an enthusiastic Jean Moore who, related his experiences of a week of mixing with top-drawer diplomats at the opening session of the United Nations General assembly.
This second year law student, who has inspired the intercollegiate equivalent of the real UN with his oratory and leadership, talked with such men as Russia's Gromyko and Vishinsky, China's Koo, Brazil's Aranha and Australia's Evatt.

Moore and the three students who accompanied him talked for an hour and a half with Gromyko and Vishinsky just before the session opened at Lake Success.
"We swam with the Brazilians and had cocktails with the Russians. We really had a gay time," Moore recalled.
The party spent two days at Hyde Park as guests of Mrs. Eleanor Roo-sevelt.
The remainder of the week they stayed at the Hotel Commodore, headquarters of the Arabian and Norwegian delegations. Dates with Conover models and guesting at Eddi Condon't and the Stork clubs featured the lighter moments.
Moore and his party attended the opening sessions of the general assembly at Flushing Meadows and were present at a now familiar Russian use of the "veto."
Secretary of State Marshall talked with the group at a reception and invited them to his suite where he doned a bath robe and continued discussion of the Intercollegiate UN.

Discussion centered about internationalizing the Intercollegiate UN. When the group was formed, it was expected to be expanded to include all countries. Such a plan would have supplied more than enough delegations to represent the 55 United Nations. Mr. Marshall proposed a solution. He suggested regional competitions in this and foreign countries, in which 10 or more schools would comb out their best five students to act as delegates for one country in the mock assembly. Mr. Marshall promised to aid the program in any way he could.
As the first step, an interhemispheric conference will be held in Lisbon and Madrid. Supporters of Latin America are strong supporters of this proposed conference.
Moore reported that K. U. stole a large share of the spotlight on the trip. Secretary Marshall paid tribute to Moore and K. U. when he said:
"You as an individual and your school should feel extremely proud that it was with you that this organization got its start."
