'Swell Reception'—
Limit Feb. Prom Sales To Students
The class party, originally scheduled for March 15, has been moved up to March 9, after it was found that Jimmy Dorsey and his band could be contracted on that night. Because of regulations against Sunday dancing in the University the party will begin at 8 and break up at midnight.
If the limited number of tickets, not yet set, is not sold by March 1, the sales will be opened to anyone who has $2, Littooy said.
Eight Kansas City Youths Placed in City Jail
Fred Littooy, l'42, student dance manager, announced yesterday that only students of the University would be permitted to buy tickets to the Junior Prom until March 1. This restriction has been placed on the sale of pasteboards to eliminate the large number of class party tickets going to outsiders and brokers, Litttooy said.

The boys explained that they had left Kansas City shortly after noon yesterday and were going back when they were arrested. They said they were members of a "West-side gang."
Eight youthful Kansas Citians who made what they termed a good will tour to Lawrence yesterday afternoon were not very favorably impressed with Lawrence opportunities. Shortly after their arrival the boys, ranging from 15 of 17 years of age, were locked in the city jail.
"This is sure a swell reception. We've gone to a lot of towns around Kansas City, but they've never put us in jail for it before" were some of the comments from the youths whose spirits were not broken by their confinement. "We have better jails than this in Kansas City. When do you eat around here?" came from the back cell.
The youths told officers that they hadn't run away from home but had merely made an afternoon trip to Lawrence on a freight train to see the University. We were on our way home when you caught us, the said.
Students will be required to show their activity books when buying tickets at Bell's Music store, the College business office, or the Hostess' desk in the Memorial Union building.
Police picked up the West Kansas City "deadend" kids in north Lawrence yesterday at 3 p.m. where they were reported going from door to door asking handouts. The eight youths were booked as run-aways and licked up until their parents, who were notified, could call for them.

Philharmonic Concerts Tomorrow
Former Student Is Conductor
By Bob Trump. c'42
A son of Kansas will return to the University where he first studied music, when Karl Krueger and the Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra appear tomorrow in Hoch auditorium for afternoon and evening concerts.
Mr. Krueger will lead the orchestra in a concert of lighter selections especially suited for children beginning at 2:15 Monday afternoon. Then at 8:20, the talented leader will take up his baton again to direct a program containing some of the gems of classical literature.
Born in Atchison, the son of a university professor, Krueger received his early schooling in the Middle West and attended the University of Kansas before going to Boston and later to New York for further musical study. He spent several years at the University of Heidelberg, and upon returning to America accepted the position of conductor of the Seattle Symphony orchestra.
Because he was unable to rid himself of the belief that his opportunity lay in the vicinity of his childhood home, the youthful conductor resigned his post in Seattle, and, in 1933, took over the position of conductor of the Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra. Since that time, the group his risen to a commanding position in the world of music.
Admission to the afternoon children's program may be purchased at the box office. The program follows;
