Rags and Old Clothes, Goose and 'Rat Races' Featured for Hobo Day
Chancellor Lindley and University Senate Grant Permission to Students to Hold Annual Hobo Day Celebration Friday, November 6th. Nine o'Clock Rally at Union Building Will Launch Celebration
Classes will be dismissed Friday morning to allow all the hoboes and lady hoboes of the University to come forth in their fine and fancy raiment for the annual observance of Hobo Day.
At a meeting of the University Senate this morning a petition was presented by John Phillips, president of the Men's Student Council, and Ruth Learned, president of the W.S.G.A.
Well, I hope everyone is satisfied with the results of the election although I know there are many who are not. It looks as though we have already had a good chance will reign again, I don't know what the immediate effect will be, but some people will, no doubt, think that they can afford shoes now while others will think they cannot wear them anyway in today's papers Roosevelt's portrait will remain while that of Governor Landon will be withdrawn

Kappa's Rally as Rats Riot in Rooms...Seems as though the Gower Place girls are searching for a Pied Piper (not a Phi Gam either) to remove rats from their house. Katy Hurd, the girl of the Godiva tresses was awakened very abruptly the other night with her hair resembling the proverbal "nuts eat." Upon closer examination it was discovered that the occupants fit into one for all of the occupants best a baity retreat out of the back door Tasty tid-bits sent home are the source of attraction.
Candid Comment by Betty Cole ... "Patty Bishop and I are brommates. We sweep togeder, Dust us two"
One of the Chi O lasses thoroughly squelched two of the football-bashers the other day. It seems the trouble dopesters noticed was the lack of blocking and tackling practice on dummies. The acute observation of the Chi O lass was that with 48 dummies on the field every night someone should get some practice.

"A Mouse Race"
Dean Moorehead, c38, chairman of the traditions committee of the M.S.C. presented a tentative program for the activities of the morning that is similar to the program held last year. However a new idea will be presented in the form of a mouse race for all sororities. The fraternities will hold a duck race across Potter's Lake, as they did last year, but it was decided that it was hardly lady-like for the women to train ducks for the big race and a mouse for the small race, in the solution. Each sorority is to obtain a mouse of any color, but no mouse entered in the race can be more than seven inches long from tip of nose to tip of tail.
The Greek letters of the sorority are to be painted across the back of the mouse entered from each house, in colors contrasting to the color of the mouse, so as to be easily seen and a bow of ribbons, the sorority colors is to be time stamped. Besides the bow, a ribbon three or four feet long in one of the sorority colors is to be attached to the neck of each mouse to allow the mouse trainers to start their mice evenly.
To Chase Cheese
The race course will be an enclosure in front of the Administration building about one hundred feet long.
In order to make the mice follow the race track, a piece of cheese will be dragged along the street and left at the finish of the track as a prize to the winning mouse. The prize for the sorority with the fastest mouse will be a face piece of cheese and a box of crackers.
Friends will begin at 9 o'clock Friday morning in front of the Memorial Union building, and after a short informal rally, the band and hoboes will parade to the auditorium, where the football team will be introduced and the new school songs will be introduced as played by the band. The duck race for the fraternities and all men's organizations will be held on Potter's Lake will be next on the program.
No Hobe Day would be complete without Doc Yak's Medicine Show, and the old gentleman has consented to set his show up on the campus Friday morning to help with her medical students. At 11 o'clock, a free dance will be held for an hour in the Union building ball room instead of in the gymnasium where it has been in former years.

Ludwig Opens
Lecture Course
Here Tomorrow
Emil Ludwig, who will open the University Lecture course tomorrow evening at 8:20 in the Auditorium, is famed for his interviews as well as his historical biographies. In a recitation entitled "In Editor and Publisher?" Ludwig told how he used the naive approach to pry secrets from some of the greatest international figures.
The French, Ludwig write, are the past masters in the art of interview, but the Americans follow them closely through an ingenuous affection of the childish manner, which suggests apparent ignorance of the subject at hand. This latter method, according to Ludwig, is a great advantage, for it provides and amuses the person to be interviewed, who finds it easier to exert work to an unformed listener.
Ludwig, who is 55, wrote nothing but plays in verse until he was 30 when he began writing psychological essays, and later historical biographies. He was for a time correspondent for the "Berlin Telegablät," during the war. He has never lost interest in psychology, however, and often applies it when interviewing a famous person.
He believes that an interviewer loses prestige in the other man's

At that hour Mr. Roosevelt was a winner, leading in 45
Topeka, Nov. 4—(UP)—The context for Governor of the State of Kansas was the closest battle of all of its exciting climax to the 1638 election.
The two principal candidates, Wilh G. West, Republican, and Walter A. Huxman, Democrat, exchanged the lead several times during the night with neither gaining or holding any appreciable plurality. At 2:30 a.m., the Democratic candidate Huxman was in the lead with 176,406 votes. West was close behind with 173,535 votes.
Senator Arthur Capper, senior senator from Kansas for many years, was crowded close by the Democratic candidate Omar Ketumbu. For many years he took neck and neck, and at 3 a.m. Senator Capper was leading by only 11,755 votes.

NOTICE
states with 519 electoral votes,
and Governor Landon was a winner or ahead in three states with 12 electoral votes.
Mr. Roosevelt's plurality promised to be tremendous and a record breaker. At 2:45 (EST) the governor asked for his name, Landon, 62459; Loren, 74369.
The Democratic victory appeared to be rising to extraordinary properties as Governor London's congratulatory telegram flagged halfway across the continent from Topeka to Hyde Park, N.Y.
Democrat House
Late Bulletin
Incomplete returns forecast Democratic control of the House by a 3-to-1 majority in the 75th Congress which
Governor Landon carried only 12 of the 231 electoral votes, according to incomplete returns received at 2-15 o'clock on this week. The Governor carried three of the districts. New Hampshire and Vermont.
Rosevelt had an incomplete plurality of 17,643 votes over London in the state of Kansas at this time. These figures were taken from 1,201 out of the 2,690 precincts in the state.
will convene in the first week of January to hear Mr. Roosevelt's plan for his second term.
10 Million Plurality
Partial returns foretold further New Deal and Democratic majorities in the Senate, already top heavy with administration votes.
Chairman John D. M. Hamilton of the Republican National Committee conceded Mr. Rosevelt's re-election at 1:45 a.m. Republican Vice-Presidential Candidate Frank Knox conceded at 1:49 a.m.
On the basis of a probable vote of 44 millions in this election, Mr Roosevelt's plurality may be more than 10 million votes if food remains his lead in the proportion to govern. London ascertained defeat.
Mr. Roosevelt's 1932 plurality was 7,016,900.
Delaware to F.D.R.
Notable in return, which ended the political controversy was the Rosenvelt lead in Kansas on the basis of incomplete returns; the prospect that the President would carry his bone to Washington close to one million, and Governor Landon's failure so to keep Delaware in the G.O.P. column. Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois and Michigan were not complete but the New Deal President was leading the Republicans concentrated a hot campaign.
Topkea, Kan., today 4 (UP)—Gov. All M. Landon now sent a message of congratulations to Prosecutor Jennifer L. Vance on the latter's appentant land-side victory in yesterday's elections.
* The Republican nominee's tele-
The Republican nominee's telegram paid:
"The nation has spoken. Every American will accept the verdict and work for the common cause of the good of our country. That is the spirit of democracy. You have my sincere congratulations."
Governor Landon's telegram was sent to the President after he and Mrs. Landon had entertained friends at the reception of his coffee" reception at the Executive Mansion. At that time the Governor said he would not comment on the telephone.
Shortly after midnight it was learned a statement was being prepared and at 12:30 the telephone hand was out to press men.
