Hill Warms Up With 2,000 At Pep Rally ★ University Band Loads Crowd In Pre-Game Celebration; Public Address System Is Used Nearly 2,000 noisy students turned out last night for one of the largest and laiciest pep rallies ever held on Mount Oread. In preparation for the big Jay-hawker-Wildcat football classic this afternoon in Memorial stadium yelling students gathered in droves with the University Band leading the way. Committee Selected To Name 'Fire Hazard' Buildings Gathering on the slopes just north of the Memorial Union building at about 8:30, the crowd was pouring out into Mississippi street and into Goreby to Oread by the time things got going way shortly before 9 o'clock. A truck at the foot of the hill was equipped with spot lights and a public system to serve as a stage while those thronging the natural amphitheater were mulling around. Midst the strains from the popular University band, guest-rallier Jay Wilson and "Everlasting!" Putnam put them rolling. A committee composed of two men and two women will meet at the first of the week with C. G. Bayles, the superintendent of the buildings and grounds, to decide in which buildings on the Campus smoking permission will be given: Speeches from C. H. Mullen, Fred "Joe" Bosilevac, Max Replogle, and Mike Getto were interspersed by yels led by Bill Waugh and finally Agnes Hess, freshmen from Clay Center, was sailing so loud she was asked to come up and do some holering for the crowd. Two Guest "Ralliers" Saraira Sherman, the baton twirler drum major, put on a fancy exhibition with a lighted baton while the rest of the glimmers were put out. Then Coach Gwin Henry came to the platform and told how "the famous Rock Chalk yell used to chill us clear to the bones when we came over from Missouri to play your Jayhawkers." Gwinn went on to tell how comparative scores mean nothing in predicting football games. He cited instances when his teams had been doped to win by top-heavy scores but lost, then other times when he was slated to lose, only to win by large margins. Rock Chalk Chills 'Em Many stood on the outside of the fence to overlook the howling mob as they circled around the roaring flames. Yells and more music brought the organized meeting to a close, but small groups of students continued to rally on into the wee hours of morning. While the band reeled off "I'm a Jayhawk," and the crowd blared out with "Our Team is Red Hot," the scene of the rep rally shifted to the northwest where a small shot to the northwest where a big firemen was blazing. The Jahawk mentor came down from the truck with the welcome remark. "I wouldn't be surprised if I saw you tomorrow." Keen On Rallying The members of the committee are: Edmund Page, 140; Jean Robertson, c'41; James Postma, '41; and Mary Gargery, c'40. BEAT THE AGGIES!

When they square off for this year's Kansas classic at 2:30 this afternoon the teams will be as even as 75 pound kids. The contast is a toss-up anyway you look at it. Records of the principals, results of past Wildcat-Jayhawk scraps, weights of players, reserve strength. Just to make the battle more even each team has *star back* nursing a twisted right knee. Three times in the last four years the underdog has risen to smile down the favorite. As neither team can be given a definite The records of the two teams this season: Gams won; Kansas State 6, Kansas 5. Total points; Kansas 52, Kansas State 80.

Freshman Raps 'Party Politics' Runs as Independent for M.S.C A possible "dark horse" entered he freshman political field yesterday morning when Howell Hill, c'43, handed a petition to Irwin Kurner, c'40, secretary of the Men's Student Council, signifying his intention to run for the position of freshman representative on the Council. was disgusted with the way student affairs in the Council are run by "party politics." The petition required as a minimum signatures of 25 first year men to get Hill's name on the ballot for the election which takes place Nov (Continued on page two) Hill, running alone as an independent, said he did so because he "From the observations I have made since enrolling at the University I have come to the conclusion that neither political party has a true interest in student government," he said. "The politics of the parties and the action of their representatives are not the focus of the smoking ban is an example of the indesciousness of their party government." Miller's Fall Debu! Early in the week the coming guild feud was billed as the battle of the invaders. Elmee Hueckney, the "oum man gang" of Kona State and Ralph Miller, the brilliant triple-threat halfback for Kansas, were supposed to make their big Six debits for this season. Both have been good players. jured knees, Milier ever since a year ago. Word coming out of Aggieville indicates that their bone-crushing back may not be able to get into the milling, but Miller has been working out a little more strength- every day this week and should ready to step into his role of slugger for the Joyhawk air attack. Lest your Kansas went to Manhattan given little chance to with their lives, but they won by a wide margin. Sixth competition between the rivals. However, they caught Coach Wes Fry and his "little mighties" in a coocky frame of mind after they were riding high with impressive wins. This year will be nothing like that, Kansas State is smarting sharply after successive thumpings from Missouri and Nebraska. A Tough Wildcat Line The Wildcats have a hard-charging line bulwarked by Bernie Weiser, Bill Beezley, and Don Crumbler that should rate a slight edge over the Jayhawker forward wall, but Kansas has a little the better of it when the backfields are put on the balances. Hard running and slippery ball carriers like Dick Amentine, Jake Fry, Frank Bukaty, Milt Stillvant, Ed Hall, and Denzil Gibbons should he able to outflow such K-Staters as Melvin Seeley, Elmer Nieman, Jim Brock, Gene Fair, and Kent Duwe Kent Dwee is the Ind who stepped into the big brogans of Elmer Hackney and he has been doing a fine job. Coach Couch Biffles of Nehraksa had rathed him as the hurdle his Hakshas have faced all season. Jim Brock is a place kicker who is able to match the Kansans' Clever Gibbens when it comes to booting the ball through the uprights. He has garnered 12 points this season with his educated toe and has missed but one try in his three years of competition. BEAT THE AGGIES!
