National Emergency A Studio Problem
Hollywood—(UP)—It's easier to raise a movie army in normal times than during a national emergency.
This situation exists not because extras are being drafted but because military equipment is.
First, there weren't any uniforms. The War Department had been there first.
Then came the gun problem. The new Garands were out of the question and there weren't any Springfields available. It was recalled by someone that troops in recent maneuvers had used wooden guns and for a time prop men thought they might have to whittle some.
After a cross-country canvass that produced no uniforms, Universal found some cotton cloth in St. Louis which was the right color if a little off in texture, and set about making its own.
The studio thought for a while it would have to use safety pins instead of buttons on the uniforms when the War Department banned use of regulation insignia and buttons, but the Army finally relented.
The situation finally was straightened out by using Krags, doctored up somewhat to make them look like Springfields.

Crimson And Blue
"Lift the chorus ever onward, Yellow and the blue."
Although hardly anyone remembers, the official colors of the University are yellow and blue. That's the way the regents put it down on their records, and that is the way it remains today.
It was back in the nineties. The newly organized K.U. Glee club was going to make its first big tour. About a week before, someone remembered that they had no school song to sing. The fact was advertised, and a prize was offered for the best entry, but no one submitted one that was satisfactory. The glee club was in a dither.
Two nights before the tour Prof. G.B. Penny, who was manager and director of the glee club, went home and thought He was a Cornell man, and the Cornell alma mater, "Far Above Cayuga's Waters" kept running through his mind. After a period of deliberation Professor Penny emerged with the alma matter of the

K. U. Colors Are Just A Harvard-Yale Compromise
University, written to the tune of the Cornell song.
Yellow and blue might have remained the K.U. colors, but about the same time football was introduced to Kansas. The coach was a Harvard man, and Colonel John J. McCook, who donated the ground for the football field, was from Yale.
After serious difficulties, it was decided that the colors for the new team would be a compromise of the colors of both schools. The result was a banner of crimson and blue. The tradition has lasted, and the official flag of the University is crimson and blue, but the regents have never changed the records, the yellow of Kansas corn and blue of Kansas skies are still the official colors of the University.
Horsemen Extend Ratner Invitation
They traveled by horseback, military style, and carried the University colors and the United States flag.
University representatives left by horse for Topeka this morning to extend Governor Payne Ratner an invitation to attend the Seventy-fifth Annievrsary dinner, and to present him with a ceramic Jayhawk.
The group will return to Lawrence tomorrow, finishing a riding trip of more than 50 miles in the two days.
