Anniversary Committee Call For K.U. Photographs
In Pictorial History
An appeal for recent pictures of the University campus, particularly those taken in spring or summer, which might be used in the pictorial history of the University to be published in connection with the Seventy-fifth Anniversary celebration, has been issued by Dr. U. G. Mitchell, chairman of the publication committee.
Anyone having recent photographs or negatives, is asked to contact Oren Bingham, director of the University photographic bureau.
All photographs have been sent
to the engravers except for the last section of the history which will portray the University as it is today, and most of the manuscript is in type, according to Dr. Robert Taft, the author.
Rally At Station Tonight To Cheer Cagers Off
A rousing sendoff will put spirit into the hearts of Jayhawk basketball players as they leave the Santa Fe station tonight for the traditionally tough game with the Missouri Tigers at Columbia tomorrow.
Ku Kus, Jay Janes, and students in general will gather at the Santa Fe station at 7:30 to cheer the Kansas as they leave for the Tigers' lair. The rally, although planned by the pep organizations, will be largely an impromptu display of spirit by loyal students. Basketball players and Coach F. C. Allen do not know that a send-off has been planned for them, although "Phog" probably will be asked to say a few words about the game.
Although Kansas is leading the conference and Missouri holds the undisputed cellar position, the Jayhawkers were hard pressed to win their previous start with the Tigers this year, on the Lawrence floor.
The train which the cagers will board to take the journey to Columbia leaves the Santa Fe station at 8:01, but rallying students will gather a half hour before train time, Tom Arbuckle, president of the Ku Kus announced this afternoon.
