In these days of frequent world crisis and rapid change, nothing looms larger than the preservation of the freedom of our American democracy.
Democracy is preserved by the voters of this country, each expressing his intelligent and considered judgment, in the selection of our officers of government.
I urge upon each student of voting age in the University that he or she vote in the election of Nov. 5.
Today is the last day to register as a voter in this community. I am informed by the city clerk's office that Kansas students may register here if they choose, by declaring themselves as residing in Lawrence. Tonight at 10 o'clock is the deadline for registration.
Details of absentee voting are discussed elsewhere in this column of the Kansan.
To vote is the responsibility and the opportunity for each of us as a citizen of this republic.
Deane W. Malott, Chancellor.

Jayhawk Gridmen Set For 38th Renewal Of Feud With Aggies
BY BOB TRUMP
KANSAN SPORTS EDITOR
Fifteen thousand persons are expected at Manhattan's Memorial stadium for the Aggie homecoming. While the cilmax of the weekend is the Jayhawk battle, a dance and an alumni dinner are also on the card for Manhattan.
At 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, Manhattan, Kan., and its immediate vicinity will reverberate with the sounds of battle as the football teams of Kansas and Kansas State fight it out on gridiron for the thirty-eighth time since their rivalry began in 1902.
Kansas State must be installed as the pre-game favorite on the basis of bot hteams' showings during the early part of the season. The men from Manhattan opened their schedule with the conquest of Emporia State Teachers. Following this victory came losses to Colorado University at Boulder, Missouri at Manhattan, and Oklahoma at Norman.
The Jayhawks, determined to conquer their intra-state opponents and gain revenge for last week's loss to Nebraska, will leave for Manhattan at 9:30 tomorrow morning in the special train which also will carry the University of Kansas band and a large delegation of fans.
Wildcats Improve
However, as the season has progressed the Wildcats have become more familiar with the Adams system and gave both Missouri and Oklahoma especially the Sooners plenty of trouble.
The Jayhawks on the other hand have won from Drake Uni-

Convocation Brings Ovation Over 3,000 Attend Rally
Farmer read the treaty signed by C. H. Mullen, l'42, then president of the M.S.C. and the president of the student council at Manhattan. Farmer explained that the trophy had been designed to satisfy the more enthusiastic individuals who usually attempt to take down the goal posts of the losing team. After each game, the set of miniature posts will be given to the winning team to be kept until the contest the following year.
More than 3,000 students stormed into Hoch auditorium at 10 o'clock this morning to help put on the greatest pep rally witnessed on the Hill in the last ten years. Clyde Bysom and Clayton Harbur put their bands together and made one red-hot swing combination to provide music for the occasion.
The long-awaited peace treaty between the University and Kansas State was officially subscribed to by the students at the rally when Bill Farmer, l'41, president of Men's Student Council, presented the trophy, a pair of goal posts mounted on a two-tiered base, to the student body.
Farmer urged strongly that the students subscribe to the duties and responsibilities of the agreement.
The rest of the program was full of school spirit and plenty of noise. "Bunny" Black, dressed as a college boy of the twenties got up from the audience and attempted to leave when the pep shown wasn't enough to satisfy him. Roy Edwards, c'42, called him back and with Black as master of ceremonies the program continued.
A cheering section of Ku Ku's lead by Bob Patterson, c'42 gave a couple yells after the (continued to page eight)
Peace Meal For 2 Schools Held Tonight
Peace will lay aside her mantel of dignity tonight when the Student Council of Kansas State entertains the Men's Student Council from the University of Kansas at a Peace Banquet to be held at 6 o'clock in the Gillett Hotel in Manhattan.
Approximately 16 members of the Council are expected to make the westward trek, and the event is planned as the final touch to the political painting of peaceful relations between the two schools.
After several extemporaneous remarks in the Pep rally this morning the K.U. legislators have cause for nervous indigestion as they dine with our western brothers. Although these men really seek an end to the pre and post game brawls such as last year's goal post fight here, the Council realizes that many of the students are not in sympathy with such respectability. Although the Council has made no official warning to the student body, it is understood that they expect full cooperation from the K.U. students in the prevention of occurrences similar to last year's in order that further damage might not be done to the reputations of the two schools.
The plans for the presentation of the Peace trophy will be completed at the banquet and they will include the presentation by Bill Farmer, president of the Men's Student Council, of the trophy to the Kansas State Homecoming Queen and her subsequent presentation, after the game, to the captain of the winning team.
Language Exams Delayed a Week
In answer to requests of several students who wished to attend the University-Kansas State football game in Manhattan, the proficiency examinations in foreign languages scheduled for 10 o'clock tomorrow morning have been postponed exactly one week, according to a statement today by W. H. Shoemaker, professor in charge of the proficiency examinations.
The examinations will be given in French, Latin, German, and Spanish. They will be translation tests, and students may use foreign language dictionaries.
Attend the Rally at Manhattan Station at 11:00 a.m. Tomorrow
