The big radio rally in Hoch auditorium will be one of the main events in the series of pep builder-uppers scheduled for tonight. The rally will be followed by the annual Nightshirt Parade, another rally around the bonfire in South Park, and two free shows.
The radio rally, which will be broadcast over WREN, will begin at 6:30. Doors of the auditorium will be closed at 6:20. Chief Justice Hugo T. Wedell of the Kansas Supreme Court and president of the Alumni Association, will be the main speaker
at the rally. Ralph Miller, passing quarterback, and Coach Gwinn Henry, will give short talks. Much interest in the program has been developed throughout the state.
The paraders will march down Oread avenue to North College Hill. From North College Hill they will go north on Indiana to Sixth street, and East on Sixth to Massachusetts. At Sixth and Massachusetts a single line will be formed for the snake dance. The group is scheduled to arrive at South Park by 8:10.
A rally around the big bonfire (continued to page eight)
Immediately following the rally students will gather in front of the auditorium for the traditional Nightshirt Parade. The parade, under the supervision of the Jay Janes, Ku Ku's, and the K-Club, will be lead by the band, followed by the Jay Janes and then the marchers in columns of fours.
Sour Owl Breaks Record In Sales
Buried under an unprecedented demand for copies of the football edition of the new streamlined Sour Owl, Editor Betsy Dodge and Business Manager Bill Allen at noon today regretfully tacked up the 'sold out' sign at Owl headquarters and made a mental note to order twice as many copies next month.
The entire allotment of 1,000 copies more than double the usual number of sales in former years had disappeared by noon although a few unsold copies remained in some organized houses this afternoon.
In thanking the student body for its interest in the new venture, Miss Dodge and Allen announced that are even larger number of copies

United Press Moscow Repulses; Who's Dumb Now?
By David Whitney
Kansan United Press Editor
FOREIGN DEVELOPMENTS It appears that Russia has won the first round in the Battle of Moscow. Nazi forces seem to have bogged completely down in the attempted drive on the capital city. On the Southern front, however, the German army was continuing its push toward Rostov, and these advances were causing considerable anxiety in London.
Double Trouble

ODDITIES OF THE DAY
When Mrs. Forbes tried to get a divorce in a Los Angeles court from her husband on grounds that he was illiterate, the judge ruled that it was no grounds whatsoever, for President Andrew Jackson could neither read nor write until he was taught by his wife. Mrs. Forbes said she objected to reading the funnies aloud to her husband.
Journalism Conference Convenes
Jay Janes and Ku Ku's are acting as hostesses and hosts at the dance, in cooperation with the Student Union Activities board. Dancing will be no recorded music from 4:30 to 5:30.
"Covering the War with Pictures was the subject of a talk by Bert Brandt, manager of the Kansas City bureau of Acme Newspapers, Inc., and one of the principal speakers at the twenty-third annual High School Newspaper Conference being held on the campus this weekend.
A stag crowd of after-game enthusiasts will dance and work off left-over steam at the second Ro-k Chalk Mixer in the Memorial Union ballroom immediately after the Kansas-Iowa State game tomorrow. Both men and women will cut.
More than 400 delegates attended meetings held in Fraser hall and the Journalism building during the day. Chancellor Deane W. Malott extended official greetings at the general session this morning.
Mr. Brandt exhibited a great number of pictures which had been released officially from foreign countries and also showed a few smuggled pictures. Brandt explained that smuggled pictures are very scarce as the photographer responsible for the smuggling may suffer serious consequences. One photographer who had attempted to smuggle pictures of the German invasion of Paris disappeared mysteriously and has not been heard from since.
"You can't believe all you see in pictures," Brandt stated, and added that nearly all official pictures released by foreign news agencies were phonies. He pointed out some of the ways he could differentiate authentic pictures from faked scenes.
400 Delegates Attend
Rock Chalk Mixer Will Be Held For After-Game Crowd
Milo Farneti, president of the Press club, will preside at the banquet. Hugo T. Wedell, a member of the Board of Regents and a justice of the Kansas Supreme Court, will be introduced.
The banquet will end in time to enable everyone to attend the annual Nightshirt Parade, which will form in front of Hoch Auditorium at 7:10. All

Bed-ridden Team Seeks Big Six Win
With high hopes of registering their first Big Six win of the season, the Kansas Jayhawkers will take the field tomorrow afternoon against the Iowa State Cyclones minus the services of 'Rifling' Ralph Miller, Don Pollom, Bob Githens, and Monte Merkel. Miller will probably see action but Pollom, Githens, and Merkel are definitely unable to participate.
High School Debate Meet to Open Friday
Shining stars in the Cyclone's starting line-up are Royal (the Ace) Lohry, stellar passer, Captain LaVerne Lewis at guard,
High school debaters and their coaches will congregate on the Hill next Friday and Saturday for their annual high school debate institute and legislative assembly. The meeting this year will feature the debater's legislative assembly and a debate between the Kansas and Oklahoma University debate teams.
The legislative assembly is modeled after the state legislature and students participating in the conference will thus be given practical legislative experience. Another advantage of the conference to the high school debate student is the chance to participate in a pre-season, non-decision debate tournament and to receive a critical evaluation of his performance by competent supervisors. Question for debate will be: "Resolved: That every able bodied male citizen of the

and Bill Barger, hetly tacked Hank Wilder, line-crashing fullback in Iowa State's 7-0 victory over Kahsas last fall, has been graduated. Paul Darling, first string Cyclone fullback this season, will play if chest injuries permit.
Subs In I.S. Backfield
Three Iowa State substitute backs, Howard Tippee, Charles Schalk, and George Harville may take over the Cyclone offense if the starting backfield fails to function properly. Tippee, with Royal Lohry, turned in a fine passing performance in the season's opener with Nebraska, in the Missouri game last weekend, Tippee flipped a short toss to Harville who raced 62 yards for a touchdown. Schalk, a sophomore like Tippee and Harville, tallied Iowa State's first six points on Faurot's Tigers.
The burden of the Jayhawkers' attack will rest on the shoulders of Ray Evans and Ray Niblo. K.U.'s sophomore halfbacks. Evans and Niblo are fine passers and ball car (continued to page eight)
