Decorations Stolen After Pumpkin Prom
Many of the decorations were stolen after the Pumpkin Prom Saturday night, Keith Wilson, Union social chairman, said today.
"This seems to be an adolescent act, since the Union committees went to quite an expense to offer this entertainment," he said. "Also some of the decorations were borrowed and will now have to be paid for."

Bill "Red" Hogan, Jayhawker quarterback sidelined most of the season with a broken fibula, probably will be ready for the Kansas State game, Nov. 16. Dr. Robert Allen, team physician said today.
'Red' May Play In K-State Game
Student Judges Will Rule On Midweek Dispute
"There is a slight possibility that he will see action in the Oklahoma game, Nov. 9," Dr. Allen said, "but it is doubtful."
One of the first cases to come before the newly organized student court will be a jurisdictional dispute between the Union activities board and the social committee of the All Student Council over control of mid-week dances.
Hogan has been lost to the team since the game at Denver, Sept. 27, when his right leg was broken.
The social committee headed by Charles Hall, has urged that the Wednesday dances shall come under the control of Larry McSpaddenf1 Varsity dance manager. McSpadden is now directing the dances.
The complaint of the board has been forwarded to the student court by Howard Engleman, president of A.S.C., who requests an interpretation of paragraph (1), part (g) of section 3, chapter 1 of A.S.C. bill number III.
The Union activities board, represented by Joan Woodward, chairman, which has sponsored the dances in the past, contend that the action is illegal or, at least, contrary to the intent of A.S.C. bill III.
No date has been set by the court as yet for a meeting to consider the case. ___

Student Artists Can Cast Masks For Hallowe'en Or That Early Class
The difficult part takes about a half hour. The subject is wrapped in a towel, up to the neck, and seated on a stool. Then the artists rub his face with cold cream or
Need a new Hallowe'en mask"
The system has one drawback, however. An unexperienced person who tried to make his own mask probably wouldn't come out alive.
Or, better still, are you looking for a foolproof way to dodge that 3 a.m. lecture? The Fine Arts people can fix you up.

They have a method of taking a cast of your facial features that produces a lifelike paper mask within an hour or two. Here's the plan:
You take one of these paper likenesses, and turn it over to a buddy in the next seat. He holds it up in your class position. The system can't miss, because to the near-sighted prof it's old John Doe himself back there in the fifth row, boxed expression and all.
stet of parchment. After the plaster completely covers the face, with the only air coming through the straws, the cast is allowed to harden. That takes about a half hour. In that time the solidifying plaster gets rather uncomfortable warm.
The artists remove the cast in what they claim is a painless operation. Then they fill the inside with a layer of wet paper, which is pressed into the creases and dimples of the cast.
of the cast. When the paper dries, it forms a hard shell that can be painted as desired.
Only about one out of ten subjects can stand the uncertainty of breathing through straws for a half hour, the artists report. The other nine come up tearing plaster from their faces.
But if you're desperate, it's worth a try.
