UN Committees Meet To Plan For Convention
The executive planning committee of the campus United Nations convention to be held next semester met Saturday morning in the Student Union Activities office to outline duties and make preliminary plans for the convention.
Four student representatives from Kansas City university attended the meeting to request that their school be allowed to represent Great Britian at the conference. The request was granted.
Duties of committee members were outlined. Richard Hawkinson, College junior, was appointed chairman of all committees, and he will preside over the conference. Richard Ong, last year's chairman, will be supervisor, and Eloise Hodgson is secretary.
Members of the correspondence committee are Dale Judy, in charge of the organization of delegates; Bruce Bathurst, who will handle Lawrence publicity; Natalie Nelson, in charge of regional publicity; and Margaret Eberhardt, who will handle all material to be mimeographed.
Members of the bibliography committee are Barbara Ford, Anita Bedell, and Richard Todd, who will assemble source lists to aid delegates in research.
Richard Hawkinson, Donald Ong, and Jim Crook, as members of the nation supervisors committee, will select leaders to head the delegations and Robert Oberhelman will make the necessary property arrangements in setting up Hoch auditorium for the convention.
Hogan May Play In Missouri Game
Hogan's quarterback slot has been filled since mid-season by Lynne McNutt, 175-pound Colby product who has performed creditably at the key position.
There is still a question as to whether Bill "Red" Hogan will be able to play in the Missouri game. Injured since the beginning of the season, Hogan remains in the top ten Big Six passers.
His leg is not completely well, however, and Hogan has difficulty running. It's possible that he may see some offensive action, depending on which way the tide turns in the Thanksgiving day tilt.

The merchants and townpeople cooperated with the students in celebration during the few days before Thanksgiving. The theaters gave free movies, the merchants and clubs gave dances and parties for students, and teas or dinners were given for the students living with private families.
R. BERTUZZI
This was true until 1940.
Two Thanksgivings were observed in 1940, both rather half-heartedly.
The fun didn't always end with the official holidays either. Frequently there were post-Thanksgiving parties for as long as a week after the last turkey bone had been picked clean.

ThanksgivingIsPicking Up After War-Time Doldrums
As Always, K.U. Rated Underdogs
Thanksgiving days in the past usually found the campus all but deserted. Few students were to be found wandering about the University between Wednesday and Monday.
The preceding week-end, however, was hectic enough, with banquets, parties, dinners, and dances at the organized houses, and two-hour dances in Robinson gymnasium. When the weather permitted there were also sleigh rides and skating parties.

For the first time in Big Six history the Kansas Jayhawkers and the Missouri Tigers will fight it out for a share of the conference title when they meet at Columbia Thanksgiving day.
In the event of a K.U. football victory or tie over Missouri, the A.S.C. social committee has arranged for a free victory dance at 8 p.m. Monday. The dean of women's office has extended closing hours to 12:30 a.m.
Victory Dance Held If K.U. Beats M.U.
The dance will be held in lieu of a student victory holiday, which University senate opposed the past year. Only the senate through its calendar committee, of which two A.S.C. student representatives, are members, is empowered to set holidays.
Oklahoma's 27 to 6 victory over the Nebraska Cornhuskers Saturday broke the four-way tie which existed a week ago and placed the Sooners
Last year the walkout following the victory over K State on the week preceding Thanksgiving stole the campus interest from Thanksgiving activities. Celebrations were confined to a few organized house parties, dinners, and coffees.
The first was hardly observed at all, and the second rated but a few parties and a dinner or so. The differences of opinion on which to really celebrate resulted in the celebration of neither, in most cases.
During the war years; there was little observance of any holiday. With Thanksgiving day the only day of vacation few of the students went home, and there was no attempt at celebration. The scarcity of eligible males made most social affairs rather sad nowhow.
The high cost of food and other essentials of Thanksgiving celebration may take some of the edge off this year's enjoyment of the holiday, but even so there is marked improvement over the years of '40 thru' 45. Next year or the year after, the Kansan may be able to say as it did in 1912. "This Thanksgiving was the occasion for some of the merriest frolics ever seen on the Hill."
in the top position. The winner of the Kansas-Missouri tilt will move in to help wear the title crown.
When K.U. won its only loop tilt in 1930 the Bengals had passed out of championship consideration long before the two teams finished the season in their annual grid battle. The same was true of Kansas in Missouri's title years of 1939, 1941, and 1945. The Tigers had clinched at least a part of the crown before tackling the Jayhawkers.
Unless the traditional tray winds up in a tie, in which case the Sooners would have undisputed claim to the title, the co-champions will top the final standings with four wins and one defeat.
The loser will be forced to share third place with Nebraska at three victories against two losses. Iowa State, with one win and four losses, and Kansas State, defeated in all five conference games, completed their league schedules two weeks ago.
The Jayhawkers are 6 point underdogs according to pre-game betting.
The game has been rated as a tossep with advantages going to both teams. Kansas looms out as the only conference team to come close to Oklahoma. After losing to Nebraska and Tulsa, the Jayhawkers came back with a non-conference win over Oklahoma A. & M. and an upset decision over the Sooners.
K. U. also handed the Kansas State Wildcats their worst conference defeat, a 34 to 0 passing at Manhattan. Missouri won over Kansas State 26 to 0, but the Tigers hold a slight comparative score edge against Nebraska and Iowa State.
The Huskers edged out K.U. 16 to 14 while Missouri staged a last half rally to squeeze past Nebraska 21 to 20. Against Iowa State M.U. rolled up a 33 to 13 count while Kansas knocked over the Cyclones 24 to 8.
Although K.U. has never beaten an eleven coached by Tiger coach Don Faurot, Missouri will face the most amazing team in Kansas history. The Jayhawkers have won six, lost two and tied one with a team which boasts a line averaging 185.5 pounds a man.
The over-all record of K.U.'s forward wall against rushing in the nine games played so far is slightly less than 140 yards a game.
Houses Polled On Sex Course
Do you think the Love and Marriage series should be offered as a course? Do you think it should be a required course? Do you think it should be offered with credit? Without credit?
These were the questions on the Y. M.-Y. W. C. A. poll which was sent to all organized houses on the campus. The outcome of the poll which was sent to all organized houses on the campus.
