Sigma Nu Wins Yells Contest; Few Go To Rally
Sigma u friendry yelled its way to first place at the pep rally Thursday in Hoch auditorium. Nearly 200 students attended.
The yell, the executive committee of the Ku Ku pep club said, showed the most originality and showmanship. Delta Chi fraternity took second place.
The winning yell was:
"K Zu, K Zu, kaw, kaw, kaw,
"Yea team, yea team, rah, rah,
rah.
"Raise the crimson, raise the blue
"Kansas, Kansas, K. S. U."
The convocation was sponsored by the traditions committee of the All Student Council to "work up interest in coming football games."
Prof. Frank E. Melvin, of the history department, gave a short talk on the history of the "Rock Chalk" yell and Miller hall gave its winning Homecoming "Hullabalao" skit
The cheerleaders and a pep band, composed of members of the University band, led the students in pepsongs and yells. The rally closed with the traditional "Alma Mater" and the "Rock Chalk."
"If the students demand it, 'Begar on Horseback' will run as long as ten days," Prof Allen Crafton director, announced today.
'Beggar' May Play 10 Days, If Demanded
"But we won't go over the regular four days unless every seat in the house is filled every night," he added.
The play will open in Fraser theater Monday for a 4-night regular run.
The ticket office opened yesterday in the basement of Green hall. Activity tickets may be exchanged for reservations and outside tickets bought from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.
"We're asking students to attend particularly the first night," he said, "because a big first-night audience means a lot to the continued success of the run."
First nighters will get more from this play than most campus plays, he pointed out, because they'll be the first to see the revolving stage in action and will be the first to watch 29 students play a total of 75 parts.
"The uniqueness of this type of production," Professor Crafton added, "provides the same incentive to be there on the first night as do the Broadway productions which present a new play for the first time."
Tickets may be reserved for any of the four nights, but they must be reserved in advance of the opening night. If the run will be extended, announcement will be made some time next week.
"This vaccine was bought for students from their own health fund and students should take advantage of it." Doctor Canuteson said.
Watkins hospital still has enough vaccine for 600 more influenza shots, Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director; said Thursday.
Still Enough Vaccine For 600 Flu Shots
Vaccinations will be given every week day during the regular clinic hours, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
WEATHER
Kansas—cloudy, rain east and south, warmer today. Tonight partly cloudy, rain east, warmer northwest. Saturday partly cloudy and warmer.

'Russia-U.S. Fight Would Be Foolish'
"If Russia and the United States come into a collision the whole world will choose sides. It will be utterly destructive and foolish," Prof. H. B. Chubb of the political science department told members of the American Veterans committee Thursday night.
Mutual suspicion has been bred between the United States and Russia, he said, but the suspicion in America is better organized.
- "Russia's suspiciousness is not due to weakness," Professor Chubb said. "She controls one-seventh of the earth's territory, and is potentially one of the greatest powers. Her suspiciousness is due to continually facing attack.
"I don't know why we should go to war with Russia over ideologies," he continued. "There is plenty of room in the world for Russian communism and American capitalism."
Other Dances Blamed For 'Varsity' Failures
Varsity dances recently have been virtual failures because other dances have been scheduled on the same night, Larry McSpadden, varsity dance manager, reported to the ASC social committee Thursday.
The executive social committee pointed out that all plans for entertainment at the University must first be cleared and approved through this committee. Objections were raised over the fact that there have been too many conflicting events on the same date.
Representatives from the larger organizations which sponsor University social affairs will be requested to attend the regular meetings of the social committee each Thursday afternoon.
'Engineers Don't Have To Wear Trousers,' K.U.'s Only Woman Architect Exclaims
JEANNE BODMAN
You don't have to wear trousers to be an architectural engineer.
That's what Jeanne Bodman, the only senior coed in the K.U. architectural engineering, commented today, after three years of "being stared at" and being asked "are you sure you're in the right course?"
Miss Bodman, whose father is a civil engineer in Kansas City, Mo., attended Baker her first year and studied to be an engineer. Then she came to Mt. Oread for a five-weeks course in Fine Arts the next fall.
Apparently the students in the department made no objection, and she's been studying to be an architect ever since.
"I'd never have made good in Fine arts," she declared. "I didn't see why women couldn't be just as successful as men in architectural engineering, so back I went."
She's an associate members of the American Society of Civil Engineers, and belongs to the Baker chapter of Alpha Chi Omega.
K.U. Will Face Giant Line, Versatile Backs Tomorrow
Jayhawkers Are Rated Two-Touchdown Underdogs Against Oklahoma A. & M.
The Kansas Jayhawkers, two-touchdown underdogs as a result of their stinging defeat at the hands of Tulsa last week, will try to break into the win column tomorrow in their non-conference game with the Oklahoma Aggies.
The contest will mark the first clash between the two schools since 1931, when the Cowboys evened the series at two games each. Both outfits hope

*to use this game as a sprinkler*
back into the mid-western spotlight.
Jim Lookabaugh's Cowpokes, tabbed by experts as a certain bowl bet before the season, finally snapped a three-game losing streak Friday by squeezing past under-rated Texas Christian 7 to 6.
Riddled by injuries, the Punchers lost their three previous encounters to Texas, Southern Methodist, and Georgia. They opened with a 40 to 7 shellacking of Denver and tied Arkansas 21 to 21.
The Jayhawkers must solve two terrific puzzles or roll out on the short end tomorrow.
Chief of these will be how to stop a powerhouse attack led by Bob Fenimore, the Aggies two-time All-American. The second is how to penetrate the Cowpokes colossal line.
Hampered by a charley-horse all season, Fenimore still is one of the nation's greatest backs. He has carried the ball 6,729 yards in his four-year career at Stillwater and has scored 208 points. A single-wing tailback, the powerful 192-pound cott n-toy possesses sprinter speed and is a good passer.
The backfield around Fenimore will throw Kansas against the most versatile attack met so far.
Bobby Meinert, 188-pounder, has advanced fast enough as a sophomore to nudge Jim Sbavital out of the regular fullback job. Nate Watson will handle the quarterback slot, and Jim Parmer, 197-pound back, usually starts at right half.
The Aggie line will outweigh K.U.'s starting forward wall 30 pounds to the man.
Neill Armstrong, 192-pound end, is one of the nation's leading pass receivers, and J. D. Cheek, 243- pounder, is a potential All-American tackle.
Sauer will fight this array with the same weapons (minus Hogan) that carried the Jayhawkers through their first four games undefeated before the team was plagued with injuries and before they met two good teams from Nebraska and Tulsa.
While most of the Aggies are healed following a month-long siege, Kansas will be fighting injuries again. Regulars Otto Schnellbacher, Howard Fischer, Don Fambrough, Hugh Johnson, Bud French, and Bertuzzi still are nursing wounds.
