The Biggest Show That Ever Hit the Hill Seventy-Fifth Anniversary in June
The Seventy-fifth Anniversary celebration, June 5-9, is going to be the biggest show that the University has ever seen, Leonard Axe, chairman of the operating committee, said yesterday.
There will be something to occupy every minute of the visitor's time, and if he eventually becomes exhausted, thoughtful committeemen will have arranged for benches under shade trees.
Registration Is First
The visitor will go first to the Memorial Union building, where he will register. That night at 7:30 o'clock he will be found in Hoch auditorium, where he will hear the Fine Arts faculty recital. That will lead conveniently in time for him to hurry to Memorial stadium, to see for the first time the mammoth Coronado Entrada and Kansas Cavalcade.
At 4 p.m. the next day Dyche museum will be reopened to the public. Closed since 1932, the museum will spread nearly a half-million dollars worth of wonders of natural science before the eyes of the visitor. Dr. Alexander Wetmore, a graduate of the College in 1912, and now of the Smithsonian Institute, will speak at the opening of the museum.
If the visitor prefers art to nature, he may walk across the street to Spooner-Thayer museum, which will be open throughout the celebration.
Feed at the Stadium
At 5:30 p.m. he will assemble with friends and former classmates at the stadium for the sunset barbecue. While he is there, the University band and the graduating class of 1941 will entertain him with appropriate music and stunts.
If he is not too old, that professor for whom he once studied so hard may serve him at the barbecue, for the faculty members and their wives will act as waiters. Conducted Tours

$60,000 Show Will Picture Coronada
The Coronado Entrada, to be held in Memorial Stadium June 4-6, will be the largest show ever staged in Kansas, having cost $60,000 and with a cast of 500 persons.
In 18 scenes, the Entrada tells of Coronado's vain search for the legendary "seven cities of Cibola" which were said to be built of solid gold.
The Entrada stage will cover the entire field with a stage 300 feet long and 35 feet high. The scenery will represent mountains, river valleys, and plains.
Opens in Compostela
The next scenes portray the march north along the seacoast and the failure of Coronado's expedition to
The pageant opens in a small Mexican city, Compostela, on February 22, 1540, when a Spanish army is leaving for a gold seeking expedition in the north.
In the first scene the people of Compostela celebrate as Coronado receives his instructions from the Viceroy of Mexico, and his army is blessed by the priest.
contact another party of Spaniards sailing north up the coast with supplies.
The first battle occurs when the Spaniards, in need of food, storm a terraced Zuni village along the western boundary of the present state of New Mexico. Here the great disappointment begins when the Spaniards find only mud huts instead of the golden buildings they had been promised.
The following scenes show the Spaniards arriving in the pueblo of Tiquex, an Indian village a short distance north of where Albuquerque now is. The Indians bring Coronado gifts of buffalo robes and blankets but only stories of the gold which they say lies farther eastward in Quivera on the plains of Kansas.
Winter in Tiquex
The Spanards spend the winter in Tiquex, fighting the Indians and losing their friendship.
In the spring, a false guide leads them astray on the high plains of Texas and Oklahoma. When the treachery is discovered the main army turns back by Coronado and 30 picked men keep on to Quivera only to find more mud huts and no gold.
The next winter is spent in Tiquex, and after a near mutiny among his men Coronado returns to Mexico with only a ragged remnant of the proud army that set forth two years before to search for the seven golden cities of Cibola.
