Jolly, Sawyer's Swaying Swings Judges
Here are two of the reasons why Miller hall won the skit contest in the Hullabaloo Homecoming day. The skit showed representatives of various countries "pepping it up" against a background of a K.U. cheering section. On the left is Nancy Jolly and the girl on the right is Elaine Sawyer.

Compared To The Housefly, A Bed Bug Is A 'Self-Respecting Christian,' Lawson Savs
"The more bedbugs you have at the end of the semester, the higher your grade will be." says Dean Paul B. Lawson.
But he's only teasing his class in Entomology 50. The purpose of the course, to recognize common insects and learn how they live, is easiest to observe in the life cycle of a specimen, the dean believes. The bedbug is used because it is one of the simplest types to rear.
"Most of the reaction against this project is emotional." Dean Lawson explains, "Scientifically, as compared with the housefly the bedbug is a clean, self-respecting, Christian gentleman."
Dr. Lawson used to ask each member of the class to bring his own bedbugs. But that involved knocking on doors of likely-looking houses, which sometimes infuriated the occupants. Now specimens are furnished by a poultry house.
Each student is given an adult bedbug in a small vial, with a cotton stopper which admits air.
Students record the number of eggs laid and the time they require to hatch. Some of the exciting contests become an extra-curricular feature.
The bug is fed on his owner's arm. If he is hungry he will not move from where he is placed. Because this species has had to develop a painless bite for self-preservation, students suffer little discomfort unless they are especially sensitive to the poison, according to Dean Lawson.
The baby bug is tiny and yellowish, and is fed only once between moulttings, or about once a week. He sheds his skin five times before he becomes an adult.
Then he and his skins and a little brother egg are glued to a card and, with a detailed account of his history, he joins the other martyrs to science.

The highway patrol has been authorized to pick up violators, Col Lathrop B. Read, Jr., superintendent of the Kansas Highway patrol, said today.
The white lines are being painted on curves and hills to prevent perions from passing in these areas, he said.

Bridge Tournament Deadline Set Nov.8
Entries are to be made in pairs. The pairs may be men, women, or mixed group. Any student is qualified to enter but must have his entry blank in by Nov. 8, he added. Cups will be awarded the championship teams.
Fliers Grounded By V.A. Ruling
If interest in bridge is great enough, tournaments will be held for men, women and mixed groups separately, later in the year, Henrichson said.
Entry 'blanks are available in the Union Activities office for the All Student Open bridge tournament. Carl Henrichson, Union bridge chairman, said today.
Field 2—Pi Kappa Alpha vs. Alpha Phi Alpha
Today's I-M Football
Field 1—Phi Kappa Psi vs. Battenfeld
Flying has been temporarily suspended for all students enrolled under the G.I. Fill, E.R. Elbel, director of the University veterans bureau, has announced. A technicality involving the amount payable by the government to a university for each credit hour is the cause.
Field 3—Phi Kappa vs. 941
Field 4—Delta Chi vs. ROTC
Field 5—Phi Kappa Psi “B” vs. Sigma Nu “B”
Women's I-M Games Delayed
"The suspension comes at a time when most universities are setting up their flying programs." Mr. Elbel said. Kansas State also has received a suspension order for G.I. fliers.
"Flying costs $8.50 an hour, which the government has been paying until recently," he explained.
Wichita and Kansas City branch offices of the V.A. have interpreted the G.I. bill to read that no university can receive more than $6.63 for one credit hour. The matter has been referred to the district office of the Veterans administration at St. Louis.
Women's intramural games scheduled for tonight have been postponed until Thursday because of the Marcel Dupre concert. The next games will be played Wednesday and will be those originally scheduled for that day.

Just Fry, Hogan Will Be On Bench
Don Fambrough has a bruised rib, and played only a little at Tulsa. He'll be present at practice sessions this week, however.
Most K.U. football men are now back in playing condition, according to Dr. Robert Allen, team physician.
Dick Bertuzzi no longer complains of a sore foot and Otto Schnellbacher is coming on the injured lists. Bud French's bad shoulder probably will respond to treatment this week. Dr. Allen predicted.
Warren Riegle, who was carried off the field at Tulsa, will be in top condition this week.
Jake Fry, Jayhawker back injured in the Tula game Saturday, will be out of all contact sports competition for the rest of the school year.
Fry probably will be released from the hospital tomorrow, Dr. Allen said.
