be chosen for cash prizes. Two of these winners, one man and one woman, will be named King and Queen of Hobo Day.
After a general rally in the auditorium, the rest of the activities will get under way. A tug of war over Potter's pond between the sophomores and juniors against the senators promises to be a grugble battle.
On the other hand Clyde Sylem, president of the senior class, said that he has yet to see the time when the sophs and juniors pulled the seniors and fresh into the lake. "And this will be added," he added. Will Be No Hair-Pulling
Sophomore and junior class presidents, "Red" Thompson and Bill Waugh, said last night that both their classes will be there in full force and that nothing can stop them from pulling the seniors and fresh into the lake.
Classes Will Pull En Masse
Twenty-four women will doff their regular wear apparel and don shorts and sweaters to square off during the morning in a touch-football game on the practice field near the stadium. Shoulder pads and helmets have been issued to the twenty-four so the battle won't end in a hair-pulling contest. Everything else goes.
The two teams, called the Kansas Jayhawks and the Nebraska Cornhuskers, will take the field some time during the morning, depending on what time who pulls who in the game. The team captained by Julia Henry, daughter of Gwinn Henry. She will also call the plays for the Jayhawks. Denny Lemno as quarterback will captain the fighting Cornhuskers.
Both Teams Confident
The lineups read like an All-American Beauty team with Van Cleave, Lilie, Willeco, Bell, Sayles, Wisler, Harman, Gels, Nelson, Waring and Wilecus comprising the Kansas队 and Jenkins, Leeddy, Blaney, Learand, Miller, Hensley, Lawson, Wilkins, McVey, Smythe and Grissell forming the opposition on the Nebraska side.
The Kansas team is confident of victory tomorrow as spies report that they have been working out extensively during the week. However the Nebraska队 is up to full physical fitness and has promised battle. The game will not be filmed. Hour Dance Will End Morning
The morning activities will wind up with an hour dance in the Memorial Union building, which a class will be held. Classes will be resumed in the afternoon.
Tomorrow night the torchlight celebration and parade will be the center of activity. More than thirty floats are expected to be entered in the parade competition, accompanied by three bands, a drum corps, and a group of Haskell Institute students in native Indian costume.
Sergeant William Collender, chairman of the Homecoming committee, expressed his gratitude yesterday for the excellent spirit shown by all and he especially praised the organized houses for their efforts to

Educator Speaks Today In Auditorium
Dr, R. M. Hutchins Will Discuss 'Education In Democracy' at 10 O'clock Convocation
“Education in a Democracy” will be the subject of Dr. Robert Mayman Hutchins’ address in the all-University convocation this morning at 10 c'clock in Hoch auditorium. The convocation has been called to commemorate a century of the formal adoption of the Constitution of the United States.
Dr. Hutchins, president of Chicago University, author, and World War veteran, will be introduced by Clamceller E H Lindley. The entireperformance will be conducted by Hutchins' lecture except for one number by the University Band.
Chosen as head of Chicago University in 1929 when he was only 39. Dr. Hutchins proved that age had nothing to do with merit. With his degree, he served ship behind him, he has proved predictions of his failure to be false.
Dr. Hutchins is one who fights for his convictions. His educational doctrines advocate a contrast of "external" truths of ancient scholars with those of many modern professors who urge the teaching of modern facts to the students. He believes that knowledge of Aristotle Plato, and St. Thomas Aquinas are invaluable to any college student.
Dr. Hutchins' list of achievements also includes the holding of four college degrees, and the authorship of two books, 1903 and 1904, and ruperous magazine articles.
Soon after assuming the responsibilities of president, Dr. Hutchins successfully divided the school into four academic departments with the head of each department directly responsible to him.
Hendaye, Franco-Spanish frontier,
Nov. 2, —(UP)—Generalissimo Francisco Franco, insurgent general to night claimed a victory in one of the biggest air battles of the Spanish civil war, fought by more than 400 planes that blackened skies over the Ebro valley.
Franco Claims Raid Victory
Simultaneously, insurgent gains in the Guadarrama mountains subjected Madrid to one of its worst shellings in two years of seige, hammering the shattered city for more than two hours with shells.
Insurgent General Sends More Than 400 Planes Into Battle
The shelling of Madrid, which will observe the second anniversary of its seige next Monday with a two year toll of nearly five thousand cannies and five thousand baskets wrecked, lasted three full hours.
The University members of The Witan, an elected organization of Campus men, in a regular meeting Tuesday, combined their efforts toward the publication of an etiquette book entitled *How to Dress*. It will be completed about Christmas and will be distributed to all regular members.
Witanians Plan To Publish Book
The Witan secretary reports a greatly increased number in membership this year.
As far as the Witmanians know, there is no other publication of this type available for practical use by college men in the Middel West Lester in the year. The College will attend a College Survey conference, which will be held, under its sponsorship, sometime next spring.
The bombardment which brought ambulances and fire-fighting apparatus screeching through the streets was a grim contrast with the flowers dropped earlier in the day by a alone insurgent bomber on the cemetery in All Souls day tribute. The aerial battle over the Ebro front, along the western boundary of Loyalist Caponia, was the Loyalist answer to the challenge of France who had rushed more than 350 fighting planes to the sector over the battle ground.

As a second nigher, Ye Shinster was much impressed by the performance of Mary Robenele Scott as Julie in "Lilium." However, she must not have read the Kanan critic's advice on how to blow out a lamp. When blowing-out time came she carried the lamp off-stage.

Three Hundred Seventy-Five Gather To Celebrate Anniversary
Nation Hears Anniversary Celebration
Blue Network Audience Listens to William Allen White. University Band and Glee Clubs
"Education is a preparation that helps a man to understand his environment and to live there happily and usefully." William Allen White, Kansas editor and author, told a nation-wide audience last night as the University broadcast its eleventh anniversary of the university's versatility of the formal proclamation of Lawrence as the seat of the state university.
"If a college course leaves a citizen with tolerance, with intellectual curiosity, with a fair working knowledge of the various fields of human activity, it has laid the foundation for a life." Mr. White declared. The Emporia editor was a student at the University fifty years ago.
Chancellor Introduces White
Chancellor E. H. Lindley introduced Mr. White and related some achievements of the University in its 75 years of existence. He told of New England pioneers who founded the University, and of the great men who have passed through its portals.
The diamond celebration was broadcast over the Blue network of the National Broadcasting company last night. It was the first of a series of programs and events which will be climaxed in 1941, 75 years after the University was officially opened.
Students Portray Incidents
Dramatics students under the direction of Allen Craft, professor of speech and dramatic art, who acted as narrator, portrayed six incidents leading up to the beginning of the University. The wagon train of forty-niners on the way to Oregon passing by the site of Lawrence was the first epic poem he passed not far from the location of the original University building, where Corbin hall now stands.
Other events dramatized by the students were the night campfire of the first settlers, who talked of the possibilities of a college on Mount Oread; the raid of 1856, in which part of the city was destroyed in an effort to enforce an anti-slavery regulation of the "bogus" state legislature; the meeting of the Lawrence city council in March, 1863; and the award for 40 acres for a University site was presented; and the panic-stricken settlers following the Quantrill raid of August, 1863.
Broadcast Ends With Alna Mater
The final episode depicted the jubilant settlers, Nov. 2, 1863, receiving word that Gov. Thomas Washburn announced declaring that the University would be located at Lawrence.
At 10:30, a trumpet fanfare and a chorus of "I'm a Jayhawk" by the University Band were followed by the announcement by Verl Bratstein, director of director of WREN, that the " Jayhawk flies over the nation."
Following this the combined Men's and Women's Glee Clubs took up the chorus of "Tm a Jayhawk." The half-hour broadcast was concluded with the "Crimson and Blue" and the "Blue and Yellow" by the Glee Clubs and the band.
Religion Commission Will Discuss Prayer Tomorrow
The Reinterpretation of Religion Commission of the Y.W.C.A. and Y.M.C.A. will meet at 4:30 tomorrow in the Pine room.

Achievement Is Subject Of Speakers
Many Noted Alumni And Friends of University Are Present at Birthday Banquet
Three hundred and seventy-five loyal students, faculty members, and alumni gathered last night in the Memorial Union ballroom to hear William Allen White and Chancellor E. H. Lindley speak of the growth and the achievements of the University, and to commemorate the seventy-fifth anniversary of its founding.
"I have seen the University grow year by year with mounting pride," declared Mr. White, nationally known Kansan, ten years a member of the Board of Reports, from 1903 to 1924. He did that through the govern all state schools as it does now; but was concerned only with the University.
Chancellor Reads Letter
Chancellor Lindley read a letter written by Amos Lawrence of Boston in 1863 to Charles Robinson of Kansas, requesting that Robinson spend money for him to "establish a school of learning which shall be a monument to perpetuate the memory of those who died in the recent struggle, and all the friends of freedom shall be invited to lend it a helping hand." In such a spirit was the University founded.
Noted guests at the speakers' table, in addition to Mr. and Mrs. White and Chancellor and Mrs. Lindley, were Miss Hannah Oliver, oldest living graduate of the University and professor emerita of Latin; Professor M. W. Sterling, 83, author of the history of the University and fifty years a member of the faculty; Professor Olin Templin, 84, for many years a faculty member; and Professor the University Endowment Association; Ralph T. O'Neill, of Topeka, chairman of the State Board of Regents, who brought greetings and congratulations from the board, and Mrs. O'Neil; and Clarence Nivens, of Dodge City, member of the Board of Regents, and his daughter, Maxine
Taft Shows Slides
Robert Taft, professor of chemistry, showed slides of Kansas pictures taken in 1867, four years after the founding of the University, when Kansas was expanding to the West. Seenes of Kansas City, then Wynndotte, Topeka Lawrence, Leavenworth, helped take the audience back to days of the event which was being celebrated.
An especially interesting picture was that of a bridge crossing the Kaw river at Lawrence. At the entrance to the bridge was a sign warning "No Riding or Driving Faster Than a Walk." Other photographs were taken by the first University faculty and of the original building, North College.
White Was Never Graduated
The Westminster A Capella Choir, under the direction of Dean D. M. Swarthwolt of the School of Fine Arts, sang three numbers, the last of which was The Emigrants' song, approximately telling of the pioneers in New York City during the ice swimming Otto Messner, professor of public school music, led community singing of "America," and "Crimson and Blue."
Strangely enough, William Allen White, one of the University's most famous sons, attended classes here four years and yet was not graduated. A graduation requirement was two years of mathematics, and in Mr. White's own words, "I didn't have it in my brains to achieve two years of mathematics; I failed conspicuously 'n it two or three years."
The Kansas editor's address was delivered extemporely, and in telling of events during his student days on the Hill, he brought back many memories of former days to the older members of the audience.
CLOSING HOUR
Closing hour for women students tonight is 11:30.

President W.S.G.A.
