Friday Night

What most sports experts rate as the best backfield in the Big Six this year will be on exhibition under the lights Friday night when the fashy foursome of Ralph Miller, Ray Evans, Don Ettinger, and Ray Niblo struts its wares against an all-star Alumni team in a game beginning at 8:00 in Haskell stadium.
This Alumni-Varsity game, sponsored by the University, will donate its proceeds to the Bill Hargiss benefit fund. Coach Gwinn Henry favors the game as it will serve as a testing out for two future night games with Temple and Marquette.
The Alumni roster is star-studded with former Kansas grid stars who have consented to return and participate in this contest. The most famous returning big-name is that of

Rose Bowl, Sun Valley Trips Loom
A few candidates for the Holiday Excursion Contest were announced this morning, and most of the fraternities and sororities, and the independent Students' Association will have their candidates by tomorrow. Two Frats Announce
A campus that has been under the strain of men and women's rush weeks and of getting back into the routine of school was walking up today to the potentialities of the Kansan's popularity contest.
Two social fraternities announced their representatives in the contest. Joe Brown, college senior, will try to win the free trip to the Rose Bowl game for Sigma Nu. Delta Tau Delta has announced that Kenneth Nicolay will represent them in the popularity race.
Each sorority and fraternity is expected to put up nominees for the 24 prizes to be awarded to the most popular men and women at the University.
The four grand prizes in the contest are first prize for women, a seven day all-expense trip to Sun Valley; second prize for women, a free seven day trip to Miami Beach; first prize for men, a free trip to the Rose Bowl game; and second prize for men, a free trip to the Sugar Bowl game. In addition there will be 20 merchandise prizes awarded by local merchants.
The winners of the contest will be judged on the number of votes cast for each candidate before the contest closes on October 3. Votes may be obtained with each subscription to the University Daily Kansan; 600 votes with a year's subscription, and 200 votes with a semester's subscription.
Kenneth Ketchum, engineering senior, has announced his own independent candidacy, and votes have been cast for Dave Watermulder, college senior.
To Be I.S.A. Candidates
Fred Robertson, president of the Independent Student Association said today that the I.S.A. council will select candidates for the contest. The representatives of that organization will be announced at the I.S.A. Open House being held in the Memorial Union building tonight.

Tradition Sets Pattern for Convocation
Closes October 3
Surrounded by an aura of 76-year-old tradition, the all-school convocation in Hoch auditorium at ten o'clock tomorrow morning will repeat the pattern set by the first convocation in the first year of the University's history.
Beginning with a march into the auditorium by the faculty of the University, the program will vary little from that of preceding fall convocations. Even in the responsive reading of psalm 84, the Rev. Edwin F. Price, dean of the school of religion, will use the old chapel bible, used at the University when chapel was compulsory.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott and Drew McLaughlin, representing the State Board of Regents, will welcome the new students and speak to the entire body briefly.
Pledge Lists Rush Week Ends Gamma Phis Lead With 28
Breathless almost to the point of complete exhaustion, sorority actives spent this morning in bed congratulating themselves on their superlative classes which they finally gathered into the fold after a hectic five-day rush week.
Not since the boom days of 1929 have sororities reaped such a bountiful harvest of women. In that year 216 women were pledged by 13 sororites in comparison with 185 women pledged by the 10 Hill sororities this year.
Open spiking, a new innovation in women's rushing this year, brought activities out into the open but also resulted in more underhanded tactics.
Two hundred and thirty-nine women registered for this rush week in contrast to the 163 women of last year. Of these, 143 were pledged. With pledging for this year a thing of the past, the social organizations have added 469 new Greeks to the sorority and fraternity life on the campus.
Kanna Gamma-(23)
The pledge lists submitted by the various houses are as follows:
Kappa Kappa Gamma—(23)
Lois Anderson, Bartlesville, Okla.
Paula Reeve, Phoenix, Ariz.; Patsty Schmidt, Wichita; Irma Lee Hasty, Wichita; Mary Louise Laffer, Wichita; Jane Peake, Channe; Patsy Piller, Great Bend; Jean Hoffman, Salina; Nancy Clark, Kansas City, Mo.; Cordelia Murphy, Kansas City, Mo.; Marjorie Tibbets, Kansas City, Mo.; Janet Hines, Kansas City, Mo.
