Freshmen Beware!
Dave Watermulder, president of the Men's Student Council, and Knute Kresie, president of the K-Club, met late yesterday afternoon and decided what was in store for University freshmen men.
They drew up a resolution to be presented to the Men's Student Council at its first regular meeting tomorrow night which
will rigidly define just when and where freshmen men are to wear their blue caps.
In addition the resolution will change the date of the annual nightshirt parade from Oct. 24 to October 3.
The K-Club is expected to enforce the wearing of caps through the use of light board paddles, and if the lettermen are unable to enforce the resolution they may call in the assistance of the Ku Ku's.
Freshmen men will be ordered to wear their caps every day, beginning Thursday. They will further be required to attend all pep rallies, and all University home football games.
On Wednesdays and Fridays will walk on the south side of Oread drive, crossing the street only at intersections.
A special section for freshmen men will be provided at all home football games so that the freshmen cheering will be more organized than in the past.
At the Council meeting tomorrow night two vacancies are expected to be filled by each party, and minor committee appointments will be made.

Holiday Trips Beckon Two More Enter
Kappa Alpha Theta announced Kay Stinson, college senior, as its nominee for the free trip to Sun Valley.
Two more candidates were entered in the Kansan's popularity contest last night bringing to 13 the number of contestants competing for free holiday excursions.
Approximately 8,000 votes of 280.000 given out have been cast in the ballot box in the newsroom of the University Daily Kansan.
Acacia has selected Tommy Adams, education sophomore, as its contestant.
There have been 24 prizes offered in the contest, so with only 13 contestants entered by last night each one is sure of winning a prize.
Organizations which have winning candidates in the Holiday Excursion contest will win a national publicity as well as a free trip for their candidates. The publicity departments at the Rose Bowl, at Sun Valley, at the Sugar Bowl, and at Miami Beach have been contacted, and will cooperate with the University in publicizing the winners.

Ex-Senator To Speak At Convocation
Ex-senator Henry J. Allen, just returned from the British Isles, will deliver his second address since returning home, in a special Convocation at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning in Hoch auditorium. His subject will be "The Inside Story of England Today."
On his foreign mission Allen acted as chairman of the committee on aid to British children, of the Save the Children Federation.
Mr. Allen will arrive by train in time for the Convocation and will leave immediately afterward. Raymond Nichols, secretary to the Chancellor, stated, "There will be no special music. We wish to give Mr. Allen all the time possible because we feel that he has a direct message to give each student."
Allen's speech will give listeners an opportunity to hear of the drama behind daily war communiques. Viewing bombings, raids, and wreckage has been on Mr. Allen's itinerary since he left the United States early this summer.
Mr. Allen's career has been tempu-tuous. He attended Baker University and Washburn College, and later received honorary A.M. and LL. D. degrees from these schools. His newspaper career began as editor of the Manhattan Nationalist in 1894.

From 1919 to 1923 he was secretary to Governor Stanley, and was appointed to the U. S. Senate to fill the unexpired term of Vice President Curtis.
