Mercy Me. What's Loose?
With nightshirts flapping in the autumn breeze, University men will throw modesty to the self-same zephyrs and march on the town in search of a quiet bit of hell-raising. It's one of those things a student dreams of—fun, eats, a free show, a lot of yelling . . . Come one (to coin a phrase), come all.
The nightshift parade won't be quite the rough and tumble affair it was back in pre-war days, but this, perhaps, is for the best. Time was when the students found it so difficult to control their emotions that nothing short of pulling trolleys (that was in the era of trolleys) from their tracks would quench the fire burning within their many bosons.
But times, as someone once declared, have changed—and perhaps it just as well. For one thing there are no more trolleys, and then too, the townpeople found such goings-on slightly disconcerting. This fact doesn't phase the student of today, however, for he finds plenty of excitement and just as much action in the present parades. There's still the thrill of marching down the streets of Lawrence—streets lined with cheering, giggling (and sometimes blushing) coeds to Massachusetts where the snake-dance takes form.
Ah, the snake-dance! Twisting down the main street while gaping onlookers stare and tourists stand agast, wondering whether they had too much of that Missouri liquor. Then to South Park and a raily which usually tops anything in that line that's given the rest of the year. As the milling students get the feel of the thing cheers spring up—no matter how tight the excuse—and the park becomes rather more noisy than New York before LaGuardia.
Visit Dyche Museum Today
There follows eats and the free show—but need we say more?
The high school journalists, University students, professors and lovers of nature are invited to see the diaramas on exhibit in Dyche Museum of Natural History today.
These three dimensional scenes made by combining sculpturing and painting are among the numerous interesting features being added to the museum's exhibits. They were made possible by an anonymous gift from a friend of the University.
Friends, please do not go into the building, expecting to see a magnificent array of specimens from nature, because they are not there. But, the dioramas, which are on exhibit temporarily, are well worth your time and are a fair example of the quality and beauty the museum will display, when it is reopened to the public.
When you see these dioramas, you will ask, "will there be more than these in this series." The answer will be: If money is provided by the legislature or gifts for this purpose about 26 will make up the series.
You will ask, "When will the museum be opened to the public?" And the answer will be: When sufficient funds make it possible to complete the remodeling of the building and to re-
inhabitate it, which includes the completion of
the interior and setting up the exhibits again.
If you visited the Museum before Nov. 30, 1932, you no doubt are wondering where all of the mounted animal specimens are. They are stored in various rooms on the Hill and will be moved back into the building as soon as possible. The panorama which occupied the first floor of the Museum before it was condemned, will be erected very much the same as it was then.
Go into Dyche Museum this afternoon and get an idea of what the state of Kansas has in the way of Natural History.
He Can't Forget
William Randolph Hearst has apparently gone highbrow. At latest report, he was in Amsterdam attending an exhibition of old art at the Ryksmuseum. While there, he purchased two paintings valued at $70,000 and a number of knick-knacks also worth a sizeable sum.
At first glance, this appears to be very commendable. Perhaps, you say, association with such great works of art will change Mr. Hearst's nature, and he will become a benign and fatherly sort of person.
But even in this setting his mind moved in its accustomed grooves. In commenting on the exhibition, he said, "I am enthusiastic about this way of making propaganda for old art."
We feel sorry for Mr. Hearst. It must be quite a strain to be so constantly on the lookout for propaganda—to the extent of finding it in an art exhibit.

Krebs, Phantom Tackle of 1899. Now Blind, Lent Mystery to K.U.Football
By Arnold Turner
"Krebse," the phantom tackle of 1890, has again come out of his dark and mysterious past to gallop up and down the University football field. Once likened to Irving's "headless horseman," this legendary figure who made history on the gridiron is now fartering in his stride, his tunics are getting weak, and other ghosts slip around him and race toward the goal posts. The mighty Krebse has gone home, but Kansas has raced over the Kansas football field for 36 years has been blocked and tackled by the strongest foe of his career.
In 1899, Coach Fielding H. "Hurry Up" Upsy persuaded Krebs, who went by the name of Creps, to try his hand at football. At first he refused to play, saying he knew nothing about the game. Krebs was unusually clumsy and nearly hit his foot off when he dropped a ball and roughlyUGPed a few times he turned the tables and became the hero of the season.
anice. Some writers have contended that Yost, in facing the tough task of building a stronger team, needed a "singer" or experienced man to touch the big Kanato who was their boss. Others assert that he was a "natural," and developed into a super-player.
Where he came from is just as much a mystery as is his strange disappear-
Telegram Called Him Away
Many of the 1899 late season victories are tied to this mystery man, and to him he credits the credit for having defended the Nebraska and Missouri almost single-handed. After this brilliant game, the Jayhawks planned a celebration for him, but as the story goes, "just in they were all started for the train he received a wire saying that his mother had been taken away from her. None of them ever saw him again."
This disappearance remained a mystery until 1834 when West Brook Pegget began roaming around and in correspondence with Charles W. Va., found that G. R. Kreba was a successful mining engineer in that town. Krebs remembered the incident well and made his only contribution to the rescue effort to visit old friends and accompany the
University team to Columbia for the Kansas-Missouri game.
These same old friends are now sadened to learn that the mightiest of all foes has broken through the interference and thrown this galoping phantom for a loss. This 62-year-old mining engineer is forced to occupy the bench, with his hands raised in rides on and on, so shall this "phantom turtle" continue to gallop over the foot, ball field as the favorite legend of the University of Kansas.
News-Week gives us the quaint story of Wallace Havelock Robb, Canadian poet, who saved $1000 and bought a 1-ton bell in the tone of D natural "I shall ring it when I'm in the mood," the post explained.
