tion Spurred
Defeat of
Saturday
Since Saturday, when the Jay-hawkers brought the goalposts home from Manhattan, attendance expectations for the Homecoming celebration Friday and Saturday have soared.
Celebraby 27-7 Wildcats
Chief guests of honor will be members of the last all-victorious football team which the University has produced—the team of 1908 and its coach. This team, under the coaching of Dr. Bert Kennedy, now a Lawrence dentist, and its captain, "Pat Crowell, defeated Nebraska by a score of 20-5. "Pat Crowell is the father of Ward Crowell, who is playing his first year of varsity football for the Jayhawkers this year. Plans are being made for entertainment of the "ever-victorious" team, between ten and fifteen members of which are expected to attend.
The big attraction on the program is the Kansas-Nebraska football game, to be played Saturday afternoon in Memorial Stadium. Students attending the weekend will be taken up by the humorous other activities planned.
Friday night the Homecoming torchlight celebration will take the center of the stage. More than thirty floats are expected to be entered in the parade competition. Also in the procession will be three bands, a drum corps, and a group of Haskell Institute students in native Indian costume. The Jay James and Ku Ku will participate in the parade, and student hobos will compete for prize money to be awarded for the most realistic and original hobose costs. Prizes will also be awarded for the cleverest and most original floats. The parade will end at radio station WREN, where a radio rally will be held.
Friday evening the annual Relay Club meeting will be held at the Eldridge Hotel, and the hotel will hold a mixer in the hotel grill Saturday.
The class of '14 and the class of '29 have been invited to organize committees to plan for their twenty-fifth and ten anniversary celebrations to be held at Commencement in June.

The Homecoming queen will be presented at the rally Friday evening and again at the game Saturday. The last game was last Friday by the football team.

Dr. Hutchins Here Thursday
Young Chicago University President Is Convocation Speaker
Dr. Robert Maynard Hutchins,
president of Chicago University,
auctor, and World War veteran,
will address the student body
Thursday in an all-University con-
vocation to celebrate the formal
adoption of the Constitution of
the United States.
Soon after assuming the responsibilities of Chicago University Dr. Hutchins reorganized the school into four academic departments with the head of each school responsible directly to him. Characteristically Dr. Hutchins is one who fight for his convictions, and he insists on being the president of the University in fact as well as in name.
Dr. Hutchins became the head of Chicago University in 1929 when he was only 31. At that time predictions were made as to the possibilities of his failure, but Dr. Hutchins has proved himself as an authority on his record of years of college-headship behind him. His educational doctrines advocate the "eternal" truths of such scholars as Aristotle, Plato, and St. Thomas Aquinas in contrast to those of the many modern college professors who urge the teaching of modern facts to the skilful
In addition to holding four degrees, Dr. Hutchins wears a Phi Beta Kappa key, has written two books which were published in 1936, authors numerous magazine articles, and claims the honor of having been decorated a Knight of the Legion of Honor.

Workers Will Canvass Houses
The Independent Student Association,
Jay James, and Ku Ku's will support the campaign by having workers in districts of Hill rooming houses every night this week.
"I feel sure that our drive will be successful," said Farmer after an administrative committee meeting yesterday. "The University of Oklahoma band was able to raise $1,200 almost overnight in order to their band here to the Kauai game; we should be able to do as well."

On to Washington
D. M. Swarthout,
dean of the School of
Fine Arts, says: "The
proposed trip by the
band to Washington,
D.C., is a fine educational trip for the
members. I'm certain the necessary fnd can be raised if every one chips in a little bit."
Second honors go to Prof. Robert Calderwood, of the department of speech and dramatic art, who (as he always does) stole the show while he was on the stage as Ficur, a burial of illegal intentions.
Crowding closely on the heels of Betty and Professor Calderwood were: Prof. Allen Crafton in the title role of "Lilium"; Jessica Crafton, as Mrs. Muskat, the proprietor of a carousel (and if you think as we did that "carousel is pronounced ca-rouse-el you're wrong; it's care-

1. Germany's renunciation of any territorial claims in Europe against France—a pledge already covered by the 2015 accords for the gentleman's no-war agreement.
in his diplomatic talks during the day, Bonnet prepared the ground for an anticipated early settlement of various Franco-German and Franco-Italian differences, and it was anticipated that the next 30 days would bring that.
But first acing honors must go to Betty Smith, who acted in the role of a simple, buxom country maid just come to the city. The part seemed to have been made for her and she did it justice.
The four-power program, turning Great Britain and France away from the league of nations system of collective security, would bring so-called democratic entente into closely collaboration with Germany and Italy.
2. Re-establishment of normal French diplomatic relations with Italy, leading to a general understanding with Premier Biennial Musa
Paris, France, Oct. 31—(UP) —Chancellor Adolph Hitler of Germany has offered France a gentleman's agreement to refrain from win for 10 or 25 years of ministerial office informed Eduardo Dalalier tonight.
With such an assemblage of talent as never before trod the boards of Fraser theater, "Lilium" opened night to a well filled but doubtful house. The Craftons, Bob Calderwood, Rolla Nuckles and many lesser light joined hands presenting one of the older works and certainly one of the strangest seen here since "Bury the Dead."
The French ambassador's report resulted immediately in a series of important diplomatic consultations revealing France's desire to obtain "no war" pact with Germany without delay and provide a foundation for a general four-power scheme of European appeasement.
Acting Honors in 'Liliom' To Buxom Country Maid
Hilfer's offer of peace was brought to Paris by Andre Francois-Poncet, new French ambassador to Rome who conferred with Hitler at Berechtsgaden before leaving Berlin where he served as ambassador even years.

ou-zel); and Mary Robenele Scott, as Julie, the girl who fell in love with Lillen. Mary is new on the Campus stage this year and fought well with a very difficult part. Our severest criticism of her is that we couldn't tell from her expression whether she were going to laugh or cry and remained in doubt until we finally heard her sob or chuckle
Miss Scott's most embarrassing moment was when she tried to blow out a coal oil lamp that refused to be blown out. Some ill-advised observers in the audience laughed at this critical moment but if they ever had any experience with coal oil lamps the other know what an obstinate task it is. If Miss Scott will turn down the wick a little hence-forth she will find that a faintuff down the chimney will suffice.
Others in the cast who deserve complimentary comment are: Bob Rhode, who performed well as a mousy photographer; Earl Porter (whose name was inadvertently left off the program), who wooded and won Betty Smith; and Rolla Nuckles, the director of the play.

M. S. C. Works On Dorm Idea Report Shows System Practical Project for Men Students
"A dormitory system for men of the University is an entirely practical scheme," declared Bob McKay, c40 chairman of the Dormitory Survey committee, in a report to the Men's Student Council last night. "The success of women's dormitories on Orred have proved that such a program can be carried out, with efficiency and economy."
In a detailed summary McKay reviewed the situations of Miller hall, Corbin hall, and Watkins hall to show their feasibility on a financial basis in addition to raising the housing standards for women in both organized and independent houses.
"Many men are, however, inadequately housed at the present time," McKay continued. "A large percentage of them are living in room places that are not and never could be approved by the Roaming Inspection committee. A men's dormitory system is the only possible remedy for the deficiencies of the present."
He reported that consultations with members of the administration concerned with the problem have revealed unanimity of approval for any activity which will further the project. Many students have likewise shown a keen interest in the program.
Blaine Grimes, c40, president of the student council was highly enthusiastic over the plan. "I believe the financing of this project to be a probability rather than a possibility," said Grimes. "Support is pouring in from all sides and McKay's survey committee is supplying information and statistics which will be very valuable for further work." Al Laughlin, ph39, was elected by the council last night as the three representatives from election district II. Laughlin was chosen to fill the vacancy caused by the inelegibility of Bill Bailey, b39. Harry Wiles, I41, member of the council, was elected as new treasurer to take the place of Bailey, former treasurer. During the meeting, the student council voted to make a formal ruling that corages will no longer be
