The boys of the big house (Kappa Sigs) are blowing about their ability to railroad them to the Alluring She and Fascinating He election. Well, as politics goes they didn't make bad choices in both cases. On the other hand, what's my opinion against the thousands. Must add that the president is promoting machine, put the new homecomputer* *seen on the throne.*

The sorority song fest slipped by witHOUT a word. Parity because the various sororites have been having words about the matter ever since it happened. As singing goes, a good marry man checks in for a class checked in to the Chi Omega's and Gamma Phi's, but to place a bet on any girl's organization is dangerous. However, if you want to play safe, just bet that the Theta's will be in the first three, regardless of the contest. They always manage to fare pretty well.
One little high school girl, who was supposed to be staying at the Kappa house, was wandering around the second floor of the Phi Gam house the other night. No! it was really a mistake. They sent her back to the Kappa house.

Here's the first letter concerning the inter-sorior sing. Undoubtedly it is from a girl. Hereafter please be more affectionate in the salutation. After all, don't it? And let's look at Robert and see if it has a broken heart, or perhaps the writer is sincere: "Dear Sir: (That could have been) of course there may be no connection, but did you know that the winners of first sing in Thursday evening were directed by one of the favorite voice students of one of the judges, who also sang in the featured triumph that was largely responsible for the success of this group?" Also that the winner of the valued members of the chair of another of the judges, I may be wrong, but I was under the impression that judges in any competition are to be impartial and have no connection whatever with the competitor intern. The letter is written of interest of fair play."
Could it be that the letter was written by one who owes defiance. I think it is understood that the winners of the con battle were plenty good. I doubt that their trio did much to win the prize, but what's a columnist's opinion?
NUMBER 57
While we're on music there always the band problem to take up. Sunday, we read a few so-called facts about that great organization, the Union. Then we read a few more facts about advertising devoted to that high and mighty band of Anderson's. Incidentally, the writer of the article gives the same Hill address as that highly recommended band leader. Of course, you can't mention him without being mentioned at this time. If some high-powered feature writer wants to be noble, he might get an interview with one of the band leaders. You know the three Hill bands that do best together in average college bands, and it is altogether possible that they are worth more. It occurs to me that I heard that living expenses have gone up in the last year. It might be well to pay more for musicians. They are going to eat
Jayhawks and Tigers are shaping up at various houses. Some will parade down the streets Wednesday, while others will remain in front of the old lodge. We'll see a bunch of "Welcome Grad" signs, but you bring the ducks.

Will Rogers Fund Reaches New High As Drive Closes
More Than 700 Student and Faculty Members Respond to Call for Nickels
More than 700 students in the University voluntarily contributed to the Will Rogers Memorial fund during the Kansan War, and the Kansan which closed last night.
Melvin Hartin, c36, editor-in-chief of the Kansan, after checking up the contributions turned in yesterday said, "We were very impressed by the response by the faculty members and students to our campaign, and the Kansan staff feels that this campain has worked."
A final check-up will be made today when contributions from several organized houses will have been turned in, but the fund is expected to exceed
The contributions were not to exceed five cents, and were deposited in various boxes distributed throughout the buildings at the University. The following organized houses contributed 10 per cent to the fund:
Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Kappa
Gamma, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Pi Beta
Pi phi seiosocius, Corbin hall, Waltman
Paul, A.I. and O.T.G., Paul, Pai,
Pah, A.I. and O.T.G., Paul, Pai, fraternities
The whole-hearted support given this cause by the students of the University of Kansas is a fair sample of the universal love and devotion which the American humorist so justly merited by millions of citizens.
The Kansan's campaign was part of a nation-wide movement directed by a group of prominent men and women, and the fund contributed by the students in the University will be sent to national headquarters.
A national committee formed from the ranks of Will Rogers' closest friends and colleagues, who created. It is to be a living one, one that will carry on his charitable and humanitarian work, and one which will serve as an inspiration to future gen-

The first of these will be a greeting to the grads; the second to the University of Missouri; and the last will concern the University of Kansas.

Annual 'Beer Bust' of Other Times Is Forerunner of Hobo Day Tradition
By Glenn McCann, c'38
There is an old tradition on the Hill to the effect that once yearly all the men and women of the University disdain their own fanciful innovations in pursuit for the less fanciful garments of women, but Wednesday that will happen once again.
It is told that this traditional day was enacted with different spirit in the beginning than it is today. The well-known student's need for money was responsible for our first Hoyo back day in 1894. Then many of the students had old clothes to enable them to go to Kansas City for the annual "beer hunt."
Business was so brisk for the old clothes dealers that they decided to make a special effort to get retailers for that one particular day in the year. So every year until the coming of prohibition, the convention held at the factory of their discarded suits, socks, etc.
Homecoming Celebration Begins Tomorrow Nigh
However, with the coming of prohibition, the annual "beer bust" disbanded
Torch - Light Parade Rally and Alumni Activities Are Planned
The Homecoming Celebration will officially go on the air at 6 o'clock morning evening over KPUK with the KU members of the Men's Glee Club putting on a 20-minute program of songs and yells, boosting the torch-light parade. The Kansas-Missouri game. Thursday, combined with other alumni activities, will make up a greater part of the Homecoming celebration tomorrow a d
A new University song, "March Song of Kansas U," strange not only to the ears of radio listeners but also to the musicians on the program. This song is a composition of "Dumpy" Bowles, well-known and beloved for his song, "I'm A Jayhawk," which he wrote in 1921, and been used by the University ever since.
As a manner of informing many of the alumni and others who will arrive Thursday morning to participate in the day's program. Prof E R Elab, who is
"LARRESE wootch, cadmilb of one Homecoming committee, who has been responsible for the smooth co-operation of the group and for homecoming arrangements, will speak."
Friedman to Give Concert
Alpha Delta Pi zority, winners of the organized house sing last week, will hold a reception at 3:30 p.m., the Mozike Hipley, 26, Kansas City, Mary Alice Pope, cured, and Mary Ellen Welch, cured, both of Kingman. The Alma Mater, sung by the Glees Club, the Joy James and the Ku Kai Club, the 20-minute broadcast over KKPU.
Ignaz Friedman, Polish pianist, after returning to the United States after an absence of five years, will play here Dec. 4. The scholar and composer appeared here once before several years ago.
Polish Pianist Returns To United State After Five Years
Demands for his appearance throughout the continent were so numerous that he had no opportunity to visit America until the winter of 1921. Here, as in Europe he established himself as one of the really great musical personalities. Returning again after an absence of five years, he has resumed his performance and publicly occupied on his previous visit. As a composer he ranks high, and has more than a hundred published works to his credit.
Friedman was born in 1882 at Patogre, near Cracow, Poland, and conducted his musical studies with Madame Crzywinka and later with Leschiktych, whose friend and associate he later became. Following his work in 1894 Friedman quickly won fame as a bridal Chopin interpreter.
Critics have placed Friedman among that cycle of Polish pianists which music critics regard to be produced at one time by a single country. The other three are
But the students had not forgotten their traditional day, for in 1922 the idea evolved that Hobo day should be held the day before the Kansas-Missouri game as a pep generator for the battle.
and the convention of the old clothes dealers slowly died out.
Since that day in 1922, each year has had highlights on honeo Day. There is that "record honeo day" in 1928. Two laden grocery trucks appearing from different directions were stopped in front of the Administration building. A "veggie light" flashed into every-one's mind and so the trucks were stopped and cabbages and carrots were without regard to the heads they hit.
Then in 1932, three bona fide "knights of the road" visited Mt. Cread by mistake. They mistook the traditional celebration for a convention of their brotherhood. The temporary "jungles" established on the parade grounds in front of Powler shops at Monticello and Poughkeepsie. When the disillusioned tramps found no coffee brewing in battered cans, they beat a hasty retreat.
One of the main factors in making Hobo day a success is the attitude of the rugged traveler to persons who are not a man. A bad day it is for him who tries to get by with his Sunday clothes at this particular event. The hobo deems it to be appropriate to wear "swell" clothes of anyone who does not adopt the gown of his class, and the student who thinks himself out of the hobo class is apt to tease his clothes.
Old clothes, plenty of paint and burnt cork, an old cornb cord and a bristling beard are the main essentials of make-up for a good K. U. hobo. The addition of a red handkerchief, in which are carried all the worldly possessions of men, is often used to shave make the hobo more picturesque, but are not absolutely essential.
