Band Aids Bond Drive at Game
Plans Patriotic Skit
Cooperating with the all-out bond drive, the homecoming field show of the University band will be dedicated to the sale of war bonds and stamps. Prof. Russell L. Wiley, director of the band, said that he was glad of the opportunity for the band to promote this drive because, if it failed, there wouldn't be any more band displays or homecoming celebrations. In a brief introductory broadcast Mr. Wiley will urge patrons to invest in bonds and stamps.
"America," in marchtime, will be the opening number. As the band moves into the formation of a Liberty Bell, it will play "Battle Hymn of the Republic." After the bell is formed, the band will play "America The Beautiful." The bell formation, Professor Wiley explained, is to symbolize liberty and justice for all.
The second formation is to be a church steeple, signifying freedom of worship. Just preceding this number, Professor Wiley will urge the purchase of bonds, and members of the ROTC will circulate through the crowd to accept any purchases or pledges. Two hymns will be played during the steeple formation: "God
of Our Fathers" and "Doxology." "Old Glory" will be the final formation. At this time a 1 by 20 foot American flag will be unfurled. The music will be the national anthem which the crowd will join in singing. Professor Wiley has transposed "The Star Spangled Banner" into a lower key, so that the range will not be so difficult for the average voice. No stunts or baton play will characterize this field exhibition.

Teachers in Demand Chandler Reports
Students graduating in the School of Education this semester will have no trouble in getting a job, H. E. Chandler, of the teachers' appointment bureau, said today.
The bureau is receiving as many as 10 calls a day for teachers for next semester, with music teachers much in demand. Salaries are increasing in nearly every case. The average salary for music and English teachers is $150 per month. Towns of two and three hundred population are offering such salaries.
Committee Will Select Queen Tonight at Rally
Many calls are from out of the state. Four hundred and eleven of the 1653 calls received this fall were from other states, including four from Alaska. Missouri, Nebraska, Colorado, and other neighboring states rank high in opportunities for teacher placements.
Mr. Chandler urges all who are graduating this semester and desire teaching positions, to come to the Bureau office in Frank Strong hall as soon as possible. He can give them more help in securing satisfactory jobs, if they personally interview him.
The Homecoming queen, who will be presented between halves at the Kansas-Nebraska football game, will be selected by a special judging committee at the rally and dance in Hoch auditorium tonight. Members of the judging committee will not be announced until they are presented during the program.
Gilbert Ulmer, chairman in charge of Homecoming queen selection, reports that all organized and semi-organized houses have been invited to enter a candidate. Also, women not living in one of these houses may enter the competition. The judges will reach their decision and announce the queen during the dance.
When the candidates arrive at the rally, each will receive a number, which will be her only identification. Candidates will be interviewed by the committee, and will be observed during the evening at the rally and dance. Judges will base their selection upon the individual interviews and observations.
The competitors for Homecoming queen will dress informally and wear no sorority pins or jewelry that might identify them to the judges. They will not be introduced individually, but in a group, to the audience.
Design Department Will Exhibit Work
The department of design will exhibit 10 mounts of work done in the department at the State Teachers meeting at Topeka, during Nov 6 and 7.
Included in the samples of work will be air brush design, abstractions inspired by music, illustrative designs, textile designs, and problems from the industrial art classes. Other schools of the state have also been requested to send exhibits.
