Sixteen Committees Rush Homecoming Plans
Forty-one men and 12 women are on the 16 committees which now are planning the two-day Homecoming festivities to be held here Nov.8 and 9. Wade Pierce,'27, heads the general committee. Chairmen and members of the sub-committees are as follows:
Many years later, the Romans grafted on part of their worship of Pomona, the goddess of harvest, in which nuts and apples, representing the winter's store, played an important part. In medieval England roasting nuts and bobbing for apples were annual activities at this time. Northern England country folk still call the date Nuterack Night.
The holiday has always been associated with belief in the supernatural and fortune tellers. The principal object in consulting fortune tellers was to find who would be one's future partner in life. Children born on this night were supposed to have the power to see and converse with supernatural beings.
Local celebrations of this ancient holiday will begin tonight at the Memorial Union where the Student Union Activities Committee has arranged for a fortune-teller to be on hand to help any K.U. students who are interested in finding their mates.
This old-fashioned affair, known as Pumpkin Prom, will last from 8 to 11 p.m., and will consist of games, dancing, apple-bobbing, and anything else appropriate for a Hallowe'en party. Hobart Potter, e'43, in charge of games announced that prizes will be given in all contests. In case some of the more conservative students show up and don't want to enter into the spirit of things in the ballroom, card tables, ping-pong, and a bingo game will be going on in the Kansas room.
Music for dancing will be provided by Dick Tippen, newest maestro on the Hill. Nation Meyer. c'43, in charge of the party, announced that admission will be one dime, either date or stag.
The Union ballroom will be disguised as your favorite steakfry nook, complete with hay, cornstalks, and pumpkins. In order to get in the room, you'll have to crawl through a tunnel, so you will be wise to dress in slacks and sweaters.
Coordinating committee: Wade Pierce, Fred Ellsworth, Leonard Axe, Guy Keeler.
During intermission, cider and doughmuts will be served in Hallowe'en fashion.
