Rally Friday Night Starts Homecoming Festivities
"Everybody out" was the battle cry Friday night as Ku Kus and Jay Janes emptied the organized houses and led their captives to Fowler grove where the torch light parade began to the pre-game rally at the stadium.
The University band led the procession of high-spirited students down to the stadium. The line was just a little too long and scattered for organized yells and the songs sounded like three-part rounds. However, the answer to "Are we going to beat Nebraska?" was always simultaneous, noisy, and repeated at least four times. Many students almost asphyxiated themselves and their friends with high powered torches.
Variations of "crack the whip" were tested all down the campus which resulted in a few strained wrists and a definite traffic tie-up on Mississippi street and West Campus road.
After a hard struggle, the parade finally settled down in the north end of the stadium before a large platform and bonfire. The exhausted student body managed to yell along with the cheerleaders a few times and then relaxed in the stands to enjoy the program.
Candidates Introduced
Highlight of the evening activities was the introduction of the 17 candidates for Homecoming queen and the announcement of the top three winners, Gwendolyn Kistler, Watkins hall freshman of Kansas City; Shirley Henry, Gamma Phi Beta, and her sister Norma, Kappa Kappa Gamma, both of Wichita. Don Cousins, V-12 acted as master of ceremonies and added his own comment on each girl as he introduced them.
The entire traveling team was introduced and Coach Henry Shenk, Athletics Director E. C. Quigley, and assistant coach Elmer Shaake spoke briefly, emphasizing the need of student support of the team. Five Skits rPresented.
Humorous skits built around the idea of victory over Nebraska were presented by Kappa Kappa Gamma, Chi Omega, Watkins hall, Corbin hall, and Pi Beta Phi.

One hundred and seventy-five students from 21 schools attended the debate conference here Friday and Saturday. The purpose of the conference was to acquaint the high school students with the question of the year. The question is "Resolved: The legal voting age should be reduced to 18 years."

Ft. Hays to Have Union
Public announcement was made recently of intentions of building a Memorial Union Building at Ft. Hays State College.
Hosking, first woman field major for the University band, gave an exhibition of baton twirling.
The rally ended with the singing of the "Alma Mater" and the Rock Chalk yell. The student body scattered to form their own personal rallys at the campus hangouts, and celebration continued in some cases until the opening kick-off of the game Saturday.
Alumni Response To Pay Stadium Debt Good, Says Quigley
Four representative faculty members meeting with the alumni heard Director Quigley explain a method by which the stadium debt may be reduced through the gifts of bonds.
Substantial reduction of the stadium debt of $11,000 will be accomplished within a few years if the response shown by the more than 40 alumni clubs from many parts of the state which met here Saturday is any indication, E. C. Quigley, athletic director, said today.
Checks from alumni in the mail this morning caused Director Quigley to insist that no more be mailed in; that the alumni make purchases of bonds in their own communities where credit can be given. He warned that only the series F bond be purchased for this fund and assured the donors that they can take credit for their gifts of this series on income tax computations. He said he had definite word from the internal revenue department on the matter.
Director Quigley seemed highly pleased with the response and said that he could see in the plan a big saving not only for the Athletic Association, but for the givers as well. He advised that the bonds be given with the understanding that they can be used at any time on either the principal or interest as it seems advantageous.

"Phog" believes that more money is being bet on intercollegiate basketball and football games than on horseracing. The answer is up to college presidents, he said. His solution would be a commissioner of intercollegiate sports — one such as Judge Landis is for baseball.
"If the college presidents don't provide one, it will be just too bad. I'm pointing these things out because I'm in a position where I can see what is going on."
