MAY DISCUSS---change the date, action which would require M.U. students to journey back to Columbia during the Thanksgiving vacation if they are to see the game.
A date suggested by Kansas authorities is Saturday, Nov. 23, which both schools have open on their schedules. Such a change would satisfy the no-class requirements at Kansas, but it would stage the game while Missouri students are home on vacation.
PEP LEADERS---judge are O'Thene Huff, c'41, president of the W.S.G.A.; Betty Kimble, c'41, president of the Mortar Board; Ruth Spencer Asheraft, c'41, president of the Jay Janes; Bill Beven, ed'41, K-club president; Ernest Klema, Chief Sachem; Tommy Arbuckle, c'41, president of the Ku Ku's, and Farmer.

Today is the final day to get the official "paid stamp on registration cards without penalty.

Martin said the unit will be composed of Pennsylvania's three oldest cavalry units—the First City Troop of Philadelphia, the Governor's Troop of Harrisburg and Sheridan's Troop of Tyrone. It will train at Indiantown Gap, Pa., prior to being mustered into the federal service.
The organization, said to be the first of its kind in the United States, will enable the cavalry unit to keep pace with the swift mechanized force and scout rough terrain not suitable for motor travel far in advance of their normal operations.
Another necessity, it was said, was protection against night bombers. One suggestion was a permanent patrol above the city of night fighter planes, prepared to take substantial losses to break up the bombing raids.
The First City Troop is the oldest military unit in the country. George Washington's bodyguard during the Revolutionary War, it still keeps its uniform of that time—red coat, white breeches, patent leather boots and brass helmets complete with flowing red plumes.
