Fight On,Oh Team,But Let Hostilities Cease After the Game!
Will Unele Jimmy Green be painted again this year by K-Staters? Will campus walks and buildings carry the almost traditional brightly painted messages the morning before the K-State game?
These questions won't be answered until the Homecoming game, but if students of both schools abide by their peace pact, no such disturbances will occur.
The pact was made in 1929 by the Student Councils of the two schools, following a series of minor atrocities committed by rabid, student football fans.
Statues, dear to the hearts of the students of the respective schools, annually were daubed with paint, students' clothes were torn in skirmishes, and their heads were shaved
if any were unfortunate enough to be caught by the "enemy."
One year two bovine beauties, being groomed by the Aggies for the American Royal livestock show, were the object of University students who cut the K.U. initials into their well-groomed sides. The Aggies retaliated by attiring the young law student, standing by Uncle Jimmy Green in a K-State sweater, via the paint routine.
In 1936 the peace pact proved inadequate and student counseilmen from both schools agreed that any offender would receive serious punishment from his own school. The first case was in 1937 when six
In 1939 the pact proved entirely inadequate when fighting broke out on the football field after the game had ended and the Aggies had won 27-6. K-State students rushed to tear down the goal posts as K.U. students rushed to protect them . . . one K-Stater was carried Potter lake and tossed in.
University students were fined $44.30 by the K.U. student supreme court.
During the past two years, the pact has not been published and new students have carried on the work of their predecessors in forming marauding expeditions to the opposing school.
"This year the All-Student Council wants to place the pact before the students and ask them to obey it."
Mary Jo Cox, Council president, said today.
The pact is as follows:
The pact is as follows:
An agreement entered into by the Men's Student Council of the University of Kansas, and the Student Council of Kansas Agricultural College, on behalf of their respective student bodies, to abolish forever all manner of school fights and pregame activities between the two schools.
WHEREAS: These fights and activities have grown to such proportions in the last few years that the friendly relations of the two institutions are in danger; that unpleasant publicity results to each school; that there is serious danger of grave

and endure WHEREAS: If from time to time various members of either student body in violation attempt to carry on, or do carry on, such fights and activities, the Student Council of the institution the said students represent agrees to mete out serious punishment for such violations, that the dignity and intent of this document may be preserved.
