HOMECOMING---station WREN will broadcast the glad tidings to the countryside.
The big Jayhawk Frolic will then claim the attention of the mob. The Kansas Relays will hold a mixer in the Hotel Eldridge Grill at 10 o'clock.
Saturday will continue the killing pace, getting off to an early start with open houses at the men's dormitories. At 9:30 o'clock the annual meeting and open house of the Kansas Relays club will claim the attention of lots of old grads. Then, at 10:30, the representatives of all the classes will meet to tell each other that "it's not like it was when I was in school." The second generation will have their picture taken on the steps of Blake hall at 11:30.
The big moment will come at 2 p.m. on the Memorial stadium field when the to-date impotent Jayhawkers will try their muscles and a set of trick plays against Oklahoma's rugged Sooners. The Sooners are slated to win. This isn't news to anybody, but maybe man will bite dog, and that's always news. Scheduled to be present for the game is K.U.'s gift to Hollywood women, Ted North. Ted went to Hollywood last year and seems to be doing all right, if we can believe his publicity agent. North's Phi Psi frat brothers got a wire from the former K.U. student last night, saying that he would arrive in Lawrence tomorrow night. Plans are afoot to present him at the Jayhawk Frolic.
A dance for the survivors will be held in the Union ballroom. Titled the Homecoming Varsity, it will be the signal for old grads to start their home-going, since it's the final event in the Roman spectacle weekend.

WARDEN AT--management of prisons, which started with his employment as a rookie guard at Dannemora in 1905, he has become impressed with the great amount of mistakes in the handling of American prisons and prisoners. As a result of his first-hand observance of these mistakes and the consequent correction and application of the principles which have evolved, he has become one of the nation's most successful and well known men in this line of work, as evidenced by his long term at the head of America's largest prison.
Added Cells
In the years that Lawes has been the warden of the prison, four new cell blocks, representing an addition of 1,752 cells has been erected within the walls of Sing Sing.
Warden Lawes, in common with many other leading penologists, believes that no prison should contain any more than 1,200 inmates at any one time, but since Sing Sing contains more than 2,500 inmates upon the average, this theory is as yet an unrealized dream or ideal.
Among his other many duties at the prison, Warden Lawes is also the head of Sing Sing's industrial plants. In sales during one year the profits came to the total of $200,000.
At one of his early positions as head of the Hart's Island reformatory in New York, Lawes learned that trusting a prisoner will be of far more benefit than oppressing him. He even went so far as to let a number of the inmates drive his car and care for his small children, and has found that treatment such as this has produced quicker and more lasting results than those which might border on brutality and force.
Warden Lawes has always abided by the advice given him while a guard at Dannemora, that if a prisoner was decent there was no need to use a club on him, but if the prisoner was mean the use of it would only make him meaner. This idea has been the basis of all his administration as the head of penal institutions for a great many years.
Wrote Five Books
Warden Lawes's fame as an author was secured by the writing of five best-selling books, together with numerous articles on crime and punishment which have appeared in such publications as Harpers, Colliers, Cosmopolitan, and World's Work. Perhaps the best known of his books is "Twenty Thousand Years in Sing Sing," which was published in 1932, and from which came the movie scenario for the picture by the same name.
