Smiles for Sun Valley and the Rose Bowl
Ballots mean prizes; prizes mean big trips to Sun Valley and the Rose Bowl; and the smiles on the faces of Ray
Evans, Shirley Henry, Howard Rankin, and Miriam Bartlett, all candidates in the Kansan's Holiday Excursion Contest, show
that they are happy to have ballots in hand and a will to win. It won't be long now for the contest closes tomorrow noon.
Ketchum Jumps to Top Spot S. Henry Leads Women
With the Kansan's Holiday Excursion Contest closing tomorrow the balloting in the newsroom was extremely heavy today with two new leaders stepping into the first place positions.
NUMBER 19
Shirley Henry of Gamma Phi Beta stepped out into first place with 15,264 votes. Kenneth Ketchum, Independent, took over the lead for men with 24,109 votes cast.
Henry Skorga, Independent, is now in second place among the men with 18.261 votes, and Ray Evans of Phi Delta Theta has fallen back
With a phenomenal burst of voting Mary Beth Dodge of Kappa Kappa Gamma rose to second place among the women with 14,600. Miriam Bartlett, Pi Beta Phi, has fallen from her lead position into third place with 13,892 votes.
into third place with 17,500 votes
Dodge Gainse Second Place
Kenneth Nicolay, Delta Tau Delta, now has 11,007 votes and is in fourth place, followed by Eldon Beebe, I.S.A., with 7,703 votes.
Muriel Henry of the School of Pharmacy is in fourth place among the women with 9,204 votes, and in fifth place is Independent Ruth Kelley with 8,084 votes.
Combines Cause Fluctuation
The past few days have seen a break-up among several of the combinies that had been formed between independent candidates and fraternity and sorority candidates. Vote trading between leading candidates has resulted in the rapidly shifting lead between the leaders.
The contest closes at noon tomorrow, and all votes must be deposited in the ballot box in the Kansan newsroom before that time. Approximately 150,000 votes have been cast altogether, and unless an astounding number of votes are cast tomorrow there will be no trips for the second place winners.
Alec Templeton To Be First in Concert Series
Alec Templeton, blind pianist who has memorized over 4,000 pieces of music to overcome a physical defect which has been more of an asset than a handicap, will open this year's University Concert Course the evening of Nov. 17. In the New York World Telegram poll of 1939, Templeton was elected the outstanding radio personality of the year.
Never before has Grand Opera been included as a regular feature of the Concert course. In the past such attractions have been billed as extra attractions because of expense. This year the course will offer San Carlo Grand Opera Company in the popular opera, "Carmen."

Hill Women Eye Campus Males To Pick King
The Jay Janes are turning the tables on campus males. Now University men will have to do the promenading while Hill women "eye" them to determine pulchritude and popularity as they select a Pep King, who will be crowned at a Reverse dance in the Memorial Union ballroom, Friday, Oct. 31.
Candidates for the Pep King are Jim Boyd, business senior; Roy Edwards, business senior; Ed Linguisi, college senior; John Conard, college junior; and T. P. Hunter, education senior. Candidates were elected yesterday by the Jay Janes from a group of contestants representing every fraternity, the three men's dormitories, and the three co-ops.
Each woman purchasing a ticket will receive a ballot on which to cast her vote the night of the dance. Clayton Harbur will furnish the music and provide a special background for the coronation ceremony.
Women will play escorts, buy the tickets, and do the cutting for the Reverse evening. The dance is open to all students, and tickets may be purchased from Jay Janes or at the gate at 75 cents for date couples and 50 cents for stags.
Proceeds for the dance will go to the Jay Jane scholarship fund.
Science Show To Feature Television
Barbara Batchelor on Program
If the marvels of science impress you, or you're curious to see some new gadgets, don't miss the General Motors Preview of Progress in Hoch auditorium tonight.
The show begins at 8 o'clock. It will surprise you from beginning to end. And it's free!
Highlighting the program is the television broadcast which will originate in a studio truck outside the auditorium. Miss Barbara Batchelor, college freshman, will be guest and subject of the broadcast tonight and her image will be transmitted to the stage receiver while she converses with the stage operator by a completely plastic telephone.
The famous photo-electric cell-electric eye to you-will also be demonstrated. From one side of the stage music will be played into a cell which will project its beam of

Drama Club Will Work Separately
The University Dramatics club will no longer be under the sponsorship of the department of speech and dramatic art.
Barton pointed out that the purpose of this action was to put the club on a more individual basis. Tryouts for all-University plays in the future will be open to all Hill students, and will not be limited to members of the Dramatics club and faculty members of the department of speech and dramatic art.
That was the substance of action taken by the department and by the Dramatics club yesterday and announced by James Barton, instructor in speech and sponsor of the club.
After the department and the acting group had decided to remain independent of each other regarding the production of plays, the latter group, under the direction of its president, David Watermulder, decided to effect a complete reorganization.
The forty-odd members of the
Dramatics group will carry on as an activity supplementary to the work of the department, Watermulder announced, and will engage in plays and other productions sponsored by the members themselves. They will also tryout for all-University plays, along with other Hill students.
The department's purpose in throwing open the tryouts to all students, it was indicated by Barton, was to assure that every bit of talent on the campus would be reached. At the same time, Barton averred, we can produce better and
