CouncilsName Committee To Build Unity
A committee whose purpose is to "build greater unity between students and the administration," and which will plan for an all-school pep rally Friday, preparatory to the Missouri football game, was established last night at a joint meeting of the Men's Student Council and the Women's Self-Governing Association in the Memorial Union building.
The action of the two student government bodies is intended as a student-initiated step toward an understanding with the administration concerning the demonstration and unofficial holiday in which 3,000 students participated Monday. Although the councils agreed that no "apology" would be made to the administration, they indicated that the committee, composed of seven students and three faculty members, should attempt to make amends for certain acts which "95 per cent of the students did not endorse."
Burdge is Chairman
Jim Burdge, college senior, is chairman of the committee. He represents the M.S.C. Other members elected to the group by the two councils are Mary Frances McAnaw, W.S.G.A.; Mary Gene Hull, I.S.A.; Bob Fluker, football team; Bob Trump, the University Daily Kansan board; Marjorie Rader, Jay Janes; Bill Collinson, Ku Ku's; Hilden Gibson, assistant professor of political science; Beulah Morri-

Parade Entries Must Arrange For Positions
Organizations which have not yet made arrangements for the Home-coming parade Friday night should do so at once, Sgt. William Kollender, chairman of the parade committee, urged today.
Representatives have been requested to appear at the downtown Chamber of Commerce office to complete arrangements, and receive float numbers to aid judges in their selection of the prize-winners.
Kollender also asked all students marching in the parade to carry flashlights, if possible. The flashlights will be flicked off and on by the paraders to aid in gaining the "glow-worm" effect which will feature the parade. Robert Haggard, business man, will have charge of the lighting effects.
The lights of the business district will be turned off for a short while so that the lighting effects will be shown to spectators at their best advantage.
Kollender stated that the Lawrence High School band will be

KU-MU Game Will Climax Homecoming
The fiftieth meeting between the football teams of the Kansas Jayhawkers and the Missouri Tigers, the crowning of the Homecoming queen, and the mammoth parade of high school bands, will feature the annual homecoming festivities at K.U. this weekend when thousands of graduates will flock to Mt. Oread for the event which promises to be the number one event in the Missouri Valley.
The parade of the high school bands at 10:30 Saturday morning will be the outstanding pre-game activity. Just before the football game, which will be attended by Governor Payne H. Ratner of Kansas, and Governor Forrest Donnell, of Missouri, a battalion of freshman R.O.T.C. students, especially drilled for the occasion, will put on a marching exhibition and will join with the Missouri and Kansas bands and all the guest high school bands in a salute to the colors with the national anthem. Governors Ratner and Donnell will join Cancellor Deane W. Malott in dedicating the game to the Missouri and Kansas men now in their country's service.
Between halves will be staged the band maneuvers, crowning of the queen, and other stunts incident to the homecoming occasion.
Slated last week to be just a routine homecoming celebration, the affair has already achieved an aura of flaming brilliance. With the Missouri dreadnaught, ranking fifth in the nation in gridiron rankings, and the Jayhawkers, victors over Kansas State who had previously knocked off last year's Rose Bowl entry, Nebraska, as the piece de resistance, the affair has suddenly skyrocketed into an event in which Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, expects old graduates to swamp the campus.
No Midweek Tonight
There will be no midweek in the Memorial Union ballroom tonight.
