In case you wondered about those nine planes stunting and flying in formation over the Hill yesterday afternoon, they were not flown by University C.A.A. students.
3,400 STUDENTS DIG--and Thursday—3 Days!
The planes were from the naval air base at Kansas City and flew to Lawrence to cooperate with Naval air force officers who were recruiting University students for the Navy Air Force.
Other concessions, such as baseball-milk bottle stands, balloon sales corners, bingo, and various finer games of chance are almost too numerous to mention.
