Alumni Association---- 65 Years of Unity
"For the purpose of forming a closer bond among ourselves and maintaining our interest in our Alma Mater, we, the alumni of the University of Kansas, do hereby unite ourselves into an association."
This prearrable which has remained unchanged through 65 years, seems to be the very epitome of what the KU Alumni As-
This preable which has 9 years, seems to be the very epistasisociationhas accomplished through this period of time. Formed in 1883, ten years after the University gave its first degree, the Alumni Association elected William Herbert Carruth, noted teacher and poet, as their first president.
During their first 19 years, following organization, the members confined their activities to annual meetings, speeches, resolutions and banquets; however, from these activities developed plans which today have materialized into significant realities.
One of these early resolutions favored suitable living quarters for women students. By 1912 they had raised more than $7,000 for this cause and later put more than $1,000 of their funds into houses for women who needed financial aid. This movement grew to such statewide operations that by 1921 the legislature appropriated funds to build girls' dormitories at all state schools. Magazine in 1902
The Graduate Magazine, monthly publication of the Alumni Association, which was started in 1902, was the 13th alumni magazine founded in the United States. At the time of its first appearance, activity within the organization was rather slow and the leaders became quite discouraged at times. Finally, it was decided to hire a secretary to manage the work of the Association and edit the magazine; the person chosen for this job was Leon N. Blint, a teacher with considerable newspaper experience and ability. During his eleven years as secretary he rapidly built up the membership of the Association and so built up the printing plant which the University eventually bought.
One of the means used to keep the alumni unified has been the publication of alumni catalogs or directories, which are large books containing names, addresses and occupations of graduates. The first book was published in 1830 and the last, containing 1230 names, was released in 1928.
War Records Complete
During the years from 1516 until 1920, the task of obtaining and assembling war records of KU men and women who were in the service was exceedingly great. The grenadier work of Miss Agnes Thompson, secretary during those years, speaks for itself in the records along that line that are now available at the Alumni office.
Following the war, during the greatest revival that the University has had, A. G. Hill, a dynamic publicity man, became the new secretary of the Alumni Association. Following Mr. Hill's resignation in 1924. Fred Ellsworth, present secretary, was employed in his place. Files On 32,000 Graduates
The alumni office now has in its files the names of approximately 32,000 living graduates and former student non-graduates.
For each of these persons there is an envelope containing pictures,
newspaper clippings, personal letters and other biographical data which has been obtained through the years. There are now fifty-five alumni clubs over the country. These clubs like for some official of the University to speak at their meetings. If this is possible, the office sends movies, and letters from members of the University staff; printed material, pictures of the campus, song cards and other material.
One of the most recent developments of the Alumni Association is the University Representation council, which consists of appointed official representatives in each of 137 communities of the state regardless of whether a local alumni club exists there. The job of these official representatives is to furnish infor-

(continued to page two) Gene Sherwood is the latest casualty at the position, having been injured in the Kansas State game. Roberts May Surprise
Ready for reserve duty at the half spot, however, will be Frosty Wilson. one of the better blockers on the Kansas squad. Gene Roberts has appeared to be well on his way to recovery in this week's practice sessions, and may be the surprise of the game tomorrow. If the speedster's leg holds up, he can run with any of the Cornhusker backs.
Rounding out the remainder of the Jayhawk starting backfield will be tricky Hoyt Baker, the brilliant Ray Evans, and Ed Linquist. Linquist*'s plunging ability in recent games has been especially encouraging to the coaching staff.
Evans continues to lead the passers of the nation in the number of
Otto Schnellbacher, Evans' favorite receiver, will once again start at the left end berth he recently wrestled away from letterman George Dick.
Penny Will Start
The brilliant sophomore center, Junius Penny, will once again get the nod at the center position. Penny is regarded as one of the finest sophomore performers in the Big Six. Warren Hodges, veteran tackle, and Paul Hardman will occupy the other two starting line positions.
Against the Kansas lineup Nebraska coach Glen Presnell will start an eleven composed of two sophomores and nine veterans. Sparking the Cornhusker backfield once again will be Dale Bradley, an all-conference selection last fall, and who has been going great guns for Nebraska again this year. Ready for duty will be Bradley's brilliant reserve, Al Zikmund, who starred in the 1941 Rose Bowl game at Pasadena.
Sophomore Named
The remainder of the starting backfield quartet, according to Presnell, will be composed of Metheny, Athey, and Eisenhart. Eisenhart is a pile-driving sophomore whose play has been outstanding so far this fall.
The Nebraska line, led by big tackle Vic Schleich, is ready and rough. Only at center will an inexperienced man be stationed, and he is Partington, sophomore prospect who so far this season has been handling himself with the finesse of a veteran.
Joe Bylel, Schleich's running mate at the other tackle post, and two crack ends—Jack Hazen and Marvin Thompson—are other standout Nebraska linesmen.
Huskers Have Subs
Backing up the Husker starters will be plenty of capable reserves—a department in which the Jayhawks are woefully undermanned Kansas practice sesions. however have this week been going off with a new "zing" under the impetus of last week's victory over Kansas State. Coach Gwinn Henry has announced himself as being especially pleased with the spirit being exhibited by the Jayhawks this week.

The Kansas squad will be trying for its first win over the team from Lincoln since 1916, and for their first win on the home field from the Huskers since 1895. In 1937 and 1920 the Jayhawks held their rivals to ties, but that is the closest they have come to victory during the past twenty five years.
During the past two years the Jayhawks have in both their meetings with the Cornhuskers suffered defeats by lop-sided scores.
The game will mark the 49th clash between the two squads, with Nebraska holding 36 victories and Kansas nine wins. Three of the contests have ended in ties.
