Sale Pleases Governors
By Jim Gunn
No, the Governor of Kansas did not say to the Governor of Nebraska, "It's a long time between drinks." In view of the $62,025 worth of war bonds pledged by the Homecoming crowd, what he might have said: "It's not so long between bonds."
Six weeks ago Gov. Dwight Griswold of Nebraska challenged the state of Kansas, through Gov. Payne Ratner, to a scrap metal
contest. Yesterday Governor Griswold paid off the bet by handing a $25 war bond to Governor Ratner. The bond, together with a football autographed by the captains of the competing football teams was given to the person pledging the most bond purchases.
The idea of the contest started when a group of Nebraska newspapermen went to Omaha to discuss the newspaper sponsorship of the scrap drive. Returning, they proposed the contest to the Governor.
In Kansas, according to Governor Ratner, the drive was handled by two organizations: the one composed of the newspapers headed by Dolph Simons, business manager of the Lawrence Journal-World, and the United States salvage committee headed by Byron Goreley, which had been set up since spring.
In the last few days, to give an additional impetus to the drive, 105 of the Kansas state field men acted as liaison officers between the local chairmen and the state chairmen. In Nebraska the members of the highway department served in that capacity.
According to Governor Griswold, the scrap drive in Nebraska was called the "Corn-Hawk Contest." He added rurefully that Kansas might well have called it the "Jay-Husker Contest." Kansas placed second in the national contest; Nebraska was ninth.
"We thought we were pretty good," admitted Governor Griswold wryly, "but they proved to be better."

A Homecoming program dedicated to the boys who couldn't come back was broadcast over station KFKU Friday night.
Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary and Homecoming chairman, was master of ceremonies for the program which included songs and short talks.

Part III of the concert includes "On The Trail" (Ferde Grofe) with Doradeen Perry, trombonist, freshman in Fine Arts, as soloist; and "Fandango" from "Spanish Caprice" (Rimsky-Korsakoff.)
Pumpkin Prom May Be Altered
Possibility that the musical comedy for the Pumpkin Prom may be changed to a musical variety show was expressed yesterday by Newell Jenkins, chairman of the Prom committee.
Jenkins said that shortage of time, coupled with casting and technique difficulties may force the shift. He said that the directors of the show, Bill Kelly and Edith Ann Fleming, have found plentiful material for the musical show, but that the originally planned program may present too many problems for facilities available.
This year's Prom, which will be staged the evening of Nov. 7 in Hoch auditorium, will also feature carnival booths and a chance for which Danny Bachmann and his band will play. Proceeds from part of the booths will be given to the CVC to add to its post-war scholarship fmd.
Admission prices and the hours for the Prom will be announced later.
Quill Turns Efforts To Popular Magazine Style in Writing
Writing for publication in various magazines and preparing manuscripts for the Kansas Author's contest are included in plans for the year made Thursday night by the Quill Club. These activities will substitute for Quill's usual publication of a magazine. A committee will make a survey of popular magazines in order to learn their preferences and styles of materials. Articles will be slanted toward specific magazines after the survey is completed.
Prospective members may leave their manuscripts at the English office, room 201, Fraser hall. Manuscripts must be at least 500 words in length. Those submitting poetry as an entrance recommendation must submit at least 25 lines of poetry. Manuscripts will be judged by a committee composed of one faculty member and three students.
War Time Halloween Bats Still Fly
Hallowe'en came this year at a time in which we all needed a little of the merry superstition, gay pranks, and light hearts that have characterized the holiday for untold ages.
Halowe'en magic overthrew the laws of logic and reason yesterday. Music and laughter silvered the air. Dancing feet beat out a rhythm for happy hearts to make their own. Romance mystery, enchantment guilded the night to blind the eyes of young light-hearted"boys and girls.
Pumpkins and shocks of corn, witches, black cats and a bedraggled broom; skeletons and ghosts, bats as black as night, delightful mocking fear, and the music of a happy throng of students.
Hallowe'en was fun this year.
Yesterday Homecoming and Hallowe'en combined to make a day that was forgetful of conflict, oblivious of stress and strain, and filled with the gay mem- ties of times before the war
Top Brainbusters
★★★
'Kids' on Finale
The traditional pranks were played upon the traditional unsuspecting persons, skeletons stalked from their closets and joined the merrymakers, and joviality reigned supreme upon a golden throne. Sorcerers and witches emanated the spirit of gloom and depression. Black cats enjoyed an uncursed holiday. The rubicund rounded faces of jack o'lanterns beamed in fiery splendor.
Besting even University faculty and student members, University High School students yielded in only one set of questions in the Brainbuster program over KKFU Thursday. The program closed a series in which persons, connected with the University and its high school took turns in a quiz in which questions were submitted by the radio listeners.
The University High School students participating were Wilma Wells, William Watson and Robert Malott. Liberty Memorial High School students in the quiz group were Robert Ellsworth, Betty Jo Campbell and Stanley Stockton.
School of Business Professors Serve With Armed Forces
William H. Shannon, associate professor of accounting, who is on leave for service in the navy, has recently been promoted from lieutenant to lieutenant commander in the Supply Corps. He is now stationed at Miami, where he is the supervisory cost inspector for the Seventh Naval District.
Jerome J. Kesselman, who is on leave from his position as assistant professor of accounting, has recently been ordered to an officer training school at Mississippi State College where he will be a candidate for a commission in the administration service of the army.
TNE Paints Again
Members of the TNE, national secret society long outlawed by University of Nebraska, have again painted their insignia on doorsteps, porches, and railings on sorority and fraternity row.
Theta Nu Epsilon members two years ago were forced to pay a $400 cleaning bill for having insignia on campus buildings and Greek houses removed. They signify their activity each year by stenciling a skull and crossed keys in red, green, and white. The organization was comparatively inactive last year.
