Kansas Editors Will Be Guests Here Saturday
Saturday is Kansas Editors Day. From all over the state they're coming as guests of the department of journalism for their annual get-together on the Hill. And this year they've also invited the Kansas Press Women to join in the activities.
Registration in the Journalism building begins at 8 o'clock Saturday morning, and each editor registering will receive two tickets for the football game. The Wrangle Session will begin at 9 o'clock and continue until 10:30. At this meeting, the editors will discuss their own topics which have been com-

Betton to Play
K-State Swing
Matt Betton and his orchestra playing for the Wildcat-Jayhawks Varsity dance in the Union ballroom from 8:30 to 11:30 p.m. Saturday, plays a top-notch mixture of hot booie-woogie and smooth swing.
A pioneer in using the Hammond Novachord, "the world's most versatile musical instrument," Betton believes in featuring unusual instrumental arrangements. His steel guitar accompaniments and his own sweet tooting on the clarinet have helped win his title as bandleader of "America's Most Popular College Dance Band."
Another specialty which makes Betton's band outstanding is his novel choral arrangements which the band sings alnoh with the instrumental melody.

Big Rally To Cheer Jayhawks
A rally will take place at 10:20 o'clock tomorrow morning in front of Robinson gymnasium, Roy Edwards, head cheerleader, said today. Edwards urged that all students cooperate by stopping at this rally to make it the biggest and best held this year.
A larger number of musicians than usual will be present to represent the band. Coach Gwinn Henry and a member of the varsity eleven are scheduled to speak.
The rally will last only 15 minutes, and professors are expected to excuse students from the first five minutes of their 10:30 o'clock classes.
To Parade Tonight by Torchlight
A pre-game torchlight parade will form at 10:15 o'clock tonight at the Memorial Union building. Ku Ku's and Jay Janes will be on hand for the event, but anyone may take part in the pep demonstration.
The marchers will visit the organized houses on the Hill, to raise school spirit before Saturday's game with Kansas State. The parade will last only about an hour.
Grad Manages Electrical Plant
Roy Edwards, president of the Ku Ku's and head cheerleader, has asked all students to turn out for the rally tomorrow, and invites interested students to join the torchlight parade tonight.

Last Chance Tonight to See 'Follies'
Tonight is the last chance students will have to see their professors disport themselves in a lighter vein. The final performance of the "Faculty Follies" will begin at 8:15 in Fraser theater.
Judging from the laughter and applause exhibited by an audience of about 500 persons last night, the attempts by the entertainers to be funny so that 40 British children might have a year's security were not in vain.
The show got off to a fast start with the hilarious performance of Allie M. Conger, piano professor, who impersonated the "Campus

Songbird." She was clapped back for an encore, which was a satire on jitterbugs.
Henry Werner, adviser of men, with his continuous waving at pretty girls in the audience, Chancellor Deane W. Malott, Prof. R. Q. Brew-ster, of the chemistry department, and Prof. E. Thayer Gaston, public school music, nearly had everyone rolling in the aisles with their "Don Kansan Quartette." The act was a song and dance act presented in miniature.
Prof. N. W. (Charlie McCarthy) Storer appropriately asked Dean Paul B. (Edgar Bergen) Lawson if he went to the barber shop to get a shine—for his head.
The professional dance team of Jerry Correa and Maxine Lindley presented a dazzling dance.
And Here's Charlie
The several acts presented, 15 in all, were woven together with music by a group of Hill musicians under the direction of Wayne Ruppenthal, fine arts senior.

The Faculty Follies received another boost by the University Housemother's Association forming a line party on its first night performance and occupying front row seats.
Mrs. S. M. Stayton, president of the organization, announced that they have presented a gift of $35 to the Jayhawk Shelter fund.
For the twelfth consecutive year, this same group has also maintained a University scholarship award of $50. The recipient is chosen by the University Committee on Scholarships and each alternate year is given to a boy and a girl.
