The opening recital of the series takes place i one week and will be given by Erica Morini, considered the greatest living woman violinist before the public today.

Other attractions soon to follow are: The Don Cossack Chorus Gladys Swarthwater symphony orchestra, the Kansas City Philharmonic Orchestra; Josef Hoftman, pianist; and the sensational young American pianist, Rosalyn Turcick, closing the series. On To Washington Edwin Browne, business manager of the University Dale Kansan says, "The band's appearance in Washington will be as good advertising as the University will sponsor this year, and the band boys have earned the trip. It will be something for the Senators to write home about." Co-Ops Entertain Frosh Squad ★ Walt Lochman, Sports Announcer, Is Featured Speaker Forty freshmen football players and their coaches were royally entertained by the Lawrence Co-Operative Club with a dinner at the Country Club last night. Walt Lochman, well-known KMBC and KITE sports announcers was the featured speaker. Lochman the subject was the "Technique of a Sports Announcer." As an illustration he gave a vivid play-by-play account of a imaginative baseball game between the Co-Ops and Boosters, the rosters of which were filled by prominent business men. Gidge "Happy" Clierney, spark-plug and center of the frost team, brought down the house when he held a rendition of the now famous "pep songs" which the yearlings used to spur the Jayhawkers on at Manhattan. "To Hell with the Cow College." Mike Getto warned the boys to "hit the books and keep the spirit up." Dick Craye, also of the varsity staff, cautioned the blockers to remember an old football adage, "Follow your nose and you'll never have any trouble taking out your man." C. C. Carl—the Doe Yak of Hobo Day fame—complimented the players on not having lost a game and keeping their "goal line uncrossed." "Since we couldn't raise enough money to send you all to the Rose Bowl," Mr. Carl said. "Were going to do next best and give you all our money for a souvenir." The five lucky boys' names were drawn from a hat. The K.U. Trumpeters played three numbers during the meal and each was acclaimed as "touchdowns." Over Fifty Congratulatory Messages Received Here The alumni office received more than fifty telegraphs of congratulation from alumni throughout the country Wednesday night, after the University broadcast its seventh five anniversary celebration on 80 stations of the blue network of the National Broadcasting company. WEATHER The opening announcement of the first broadcast, by Verl Branl, program director for WREN, that the "Jayhawk flies over the nation," was borne out in the widespread number of cities that sent in congratulatory messages. Some of these cities are New York, Washington, D.C. Reading, Penn., Detroit, Chicago, Denver, Amora, Omaha, Christi, Texas, Helena, Mont. Albuquerque, N. M., Portland, Orie Kansas: Becoming generally fair, rising temperature Friday except in extreme eastern portion. Partly cooler in western portion. Cooler, cooler in west portion. New Education Must Rationalize Says Hutchins - University of Chicago President Delivers Address Stressing Task of Schooling "The task of education is to make rational animals more perfectly rational," said Robert Maynard Hutchins, president of the University of Chicago, before the largest audience to attend a convocation in many years, yesterday morning in Hoch auditorium. Dr. Hutchins, who has often been called the "boy wonder of education," spoke on the subject, "Education in a Democracy." The University Band opened the convocation with "Star Dust", and received applause which defeated it. The band was joined by Leland to quiet the assembly. H What a better society is, and how to get it has been one of the persistent problems of philosophy and religion. It is a tradition of the Western world. "The quest for social improvement is a perpetual one," said Dr. Dutchinski. "Men have always not different society, but better one." Dr. Hutchins pointed out four cults which, to his mind, had attempted to offer solutions to problems of man, but had failed. "I have been saying that I want to give the student knowledge about society, but we have got ourselves into such a state of mind that if anybody outside of natural science says he knows anything, he is a dogmatist, an authoritarian, a reactionary and a fascist. "Anybody who says I don't know because nobody can; or I will take no position because I am tolerant and open-minded" is a liberal, a cautionary view. But whom the world may safely be entrusted," is the opposing view. "a second reason why some people doubt the social utility of the education I favor is that they belong to the cult of immediacy, or what may be called presentism. In this view the way to comprehend the world is to grapple with reality you find about you. There is no past. We live in different times and of yesterday have nothing to say to us today. Kansan Steps Out Today in New Fall Attire Up to the minute as a hoop skirt, skirc an on-an-top-of-the head coluref, slick as the skiekest of the 1939 automobiles is the new fall dress in which the Kansan appears today. Accounted in brand new headlines of Tower and Stylic type, the Kansan will be easier to read more quickly, and more appealing to the critical eye of food lovers. In addition to the sugar bowl at breakfast. In addition to eager-to-read headlines, the Kansas will continue to bring its readers thorough coverage of Campus news, flashes of world events by the United Press, and the best it can offer in service to the students. Continued on Page 8 Inspired by the success of previous card displays at home football games, Jack Nessley, c'39, head cheerleader, is planning an ambitious showing for halftime entertainment at the Nebraska game tomorrow. Four stunts will be presented. One will spell out the words "Hello" and "Grads" in rapid success. The second, shown in red on a white background, will be the words, "Corn" and then "Huskers." Cheerleaders Plan Card Display The main event is a difficult action display in which two players will be seen to move between red "Ns" and blue "Ks" at opposite ends of the section. One player will receive it, and the other will run to receive it. A fourth feature will be the word "Queen" followed by the picture of the Homecoming queen. "I don't know who the queen is yet," said Nessley, "but we will find out Friday night in time to arrange the display for Saturday afternoon." Colored motion pictures of the highlights of the week-end's activities will be taken Friday and Saturday. Shore To Give Long Whisker Prize To Hobo Today Schiller Shore, the little shaver, again will offer a trophy to the hobo with the longest slings on his puss. The Hobos dance this morning. Last year's trophy was a lead neck charm in the shape of an awakista. The prize this year will be more clamorous, but it cannot be valued in dollars and sense. Shore said he hopes that either blond or a brunette will cop th award today since a red beard wo last fall. "If Kansas is victorious over the Nebraska Cornhuskers Saturday, do not ask for a show that night as a special celebration rally and movie has been planned for Monday night," said S. E. Schwann, manager of the Granada theater, yesterday. Free Show at Granada If Jayhawks Are Victorious Jayhawk Sharpens Beak To Get Nebraska's Corn Old Timers Back To Visit Alma Mater Old grads will return to Lawrence today and tomorrow to re-acquire themselves with their Alma Mater and perhaps see something not only unsuused but also unheard of, a Kansas victory over Nebraska. - Return to Mount Oread In Anticipation of the Invading Cornhusker Team Excitement has risen to fever pitch over the touch football game between Football will be the main attraction, but supplementing this attraction will be an exciting array of parades, dances, dinners and even a Hobo Day celebration. Only the weather and the Nebraska Cornhuskers stand in the way of the greatest homecoming in Kansas history, and according to Ad Lindsey and his Jayhawkers, the Nebraskans are in for sledding or sliding, depending on the weather, tomorrow afternoon.

Bob Day opens the twenty-first annual Homecoming celebration Jim Bounds, president of the Student: Union Activities Committee, last night requested that hobbes and others who will go directly from the tug-of-war at Potter's pond to the poke dance today keep looking possible and avoid wearing hobnails. Reason the floor was newly sanded and reconditioned last summer. Sharing the spotlight with the football teams at Memorial Stadium tomorrow afternoon will be the bands of the two Universities.

The second program will be held in Hoch auditorium four weeks from Sunday. Teams Stand Evenly Matched For Contest ★ Kansas Hasn't Defeated Lincolnites Since 1916; Seeks First Win Here Since 1896 By Harry Hill, c'40 The national cornhusking contest, which comes to Lawrence next fall, will have a notable preview in Memorial Stadium tomorrow. Only Tie Brightens Husker Season Contestants will be eleven victory-starved men from Nebraska and a like number from Kansas. The occasion will be the University's twenty-first annual Homecoming, and the forty-fifth football meeting between the Jayhawks and the Scarlet Huskers. Principal point at stake will be the attempt of each team to outskirt the memorial afternoon in 1896, no crew of Kansas hired hands has accomplished the feat in Memorial stadium. And since 1916, no Kansas队 has turned the trick in any stadium. Many times Jayhawyr elevenths have faced the opening kickoff favorites. In games on the local gridiron, however, the ears have gone home with the Huskers when the cheers echoed after a beaten Kansas team. But it is in a unique setting that the schools renew their rivalry tomorrow. Out of the north will come a desperate Nebraska, whose five-game season's record is brightened only by a 0- tie with Indiana. Not for many years has Nebraska failed to win a game in five attempts. Whether the victory famine will be prolonged is proximal to much speculation. Kansas passed its crisis last Saturday, but will be none the less determined. The men of Ad Lindsay, with a time-honored jio to overcome, can balance his Big Six budget by trimming the Huskers. Such an outcome is possible. Nebraska can count its first conference victory by plucking the Jayhawk. This, also is possible. Javhawkers Rate Slight Edge From comparative play this fall, the Jayhawkers, while their record is one of rise and on alternate Saturdays, rate a slight edge. But season's records have meant nothing when the Cornhushorses invade Mount Oread. In recent years, the case has been tried, without testimony from ghostly witness of previous games, and the verdict, as if predetermined, has been invariably against Kansas. It will be the last home appearance of the season for the Jayhawkers. The weather will have its vote in determining the crowd as well as the find score. A throng of more than 10,000 is expected if the skies are clear. Bands Will Have Spotlight Austen Wiley's colorful University Band will share the between-halves spotlight with the scarlet-clad Nebraska university organization. A special train of Cornhusker fans will attend the game.
