Thanks Lyman, for the aforest little things, but remember - Lindy said, "We" and he would have been in a belaix fix without his plane, in the middle of the Atlantic. The many "Snoops" help to make this column We.
"Tis said the Phil Dia is calling Bill Townsley, "Boomerang," because he can be thrown out, but always comes back. The same thing happened to Louis Kauga at the Kappa bounce.
Just couldn't pass up the opportunity to comment on the "record" varieties. It's the truth that hurt, not the press release. It doesn't matter what you enjoy; they can music so much, a committee investigated the matter, and from all indications the things is no fun. One girl said the reproductions sounded like an old time phonograph. Another girl said it was a rock opera. A young man, very ardent dancer, if dancers are ardent, says, "When he bought the activity ticket, he was under the impression that bonds would play the mid-week (not remote control), and he could buy tickets that could have arrange to tux the stags." Some say that the music isn't loud enough, others that it sounds like two skeletons playing tennis on a tin roof. If you want to express your opinion let them know how you feel. The politician with more authority than I think any of them have stops the comment
They say it's Paris in the Spring around the Pi Phi house for Jane Jeffery, which makes one ask if it isn't getting cold up in Michigan.

When did the A.T.O.'s and PI K.A. become such close friends. Some time ago when things were looking up, a woman with a blue cap and an apartment of a PI K.A. for a party. The owner of said apartment was out of town. May be prey Eagle should investigate?
Jo Burrows is out of order, according to her best friends. A molar has given her so much trouble late that she has to talk with her teeth together. This is without doubt the biggest break Harris will have all year.
Last Saturday night at the Phi Pi house, a large group of alumni dropped in for a night's lodging at Ye Old Taupe inn. Four boys, including Thompson, slept in a very small bed. When dawn came, they were fairly well done up, et al., and they made their way to the sleeping porch to look the situation over, and found only ten beds that had not seen service that night. They really have something to yell about now.
Can it be true that a Theta has started writing poetry? Must he because it came from a very good source, and we'll guess that the poetess is "Tillie the Tyler." Her new boy friend goes for the better things.
The freshman Pacchacamcas nominated Phil Buzick for president of the freshman class at a meeting last nigh at the Pi Kappa Alpha house.
BUZICK NOMINATED PRESIDENT BY FRESHMAN PACHACAMACS
Dick Newell will run for the office of treasurer, and the party's candidate for dance manager will be Procto Ritchie and Don Woods.
Pachacuchan freshmen will hold a smoker next Monday night, and the election will be held Thursday. The PSGL have not offered a state of candidates, but an independent organization will nominate tonight or tomorrow

General Johnson, Former NRA Head, To Give Lecture
Speaker Tomorrow Nigh Has Been Statesman, Soldier, Lawyer, and Writer
General Hugh S. Johnson, who will lecture here Thursday evening on "Government and the Constitution," is again in the nation's spotlight. This month he started on a tour of speech-making that will include the southern, middle-western, and coast states. From his experiences pleaded as head of the NRA and for the administration, Johnson will set forth impressively the results of his endeavors.
In his fifty-odd years of life, General Johnson has crammed enough astounding events to fill the lives of a half dozen people. He was born in a young boy that took him from Kansas into Oklahoma was followed by an arrest attempt to run away from home and join the war against Spain. In compassing a difficult assignment, he was sent to West Point.
After West Point came a short period of fiction writing while he was stationed at a lonely army post, and at least two full-grown books, besides numerous published short stories, came from his pen.
Following this, General Johnson studied law at the University of California, and shortly afterward he became one of the foremost leaders in the relief work that followed the demolition of San Francisco by the great earthquake. Ten years afterward, as a captain of the cavalry, his career included a dash across the United States in company with General Pershing in pursuit of the banfir, Villa.
Topping that in brilliance is the history of his connection with the raising of the civilian army in the World War. After his spectacular handling of those duties, he was made a Brigadier General, and soon he again attracted the attention of the country as a member of the war industry. He became a lawyer, statesman, great business organizer, writer and orator, he commands the attention of the world.

Spirit of Creator of 'Old Doc Yak' Lives on in Our Hobo-Dav
Sidney Smith, creator of "Old Doc Yak," the character who has added so much fun to K.U. Homecoming pail rallies, was killed recently in a motor car crash when he was on his way to Lake Geneva, Wis., his summer home.
It is Mr. Smith to whom we owe gratitude for our great pep doctor. Mr. Smith invented "Old Doe Yak" in his first major comic strip. You remember Old Doe, the 19th-century face who was always pulling a joke, and unning away saying, "That's fun."
"Old Doc Yak" was adopted by students of the University when Hobo Day was inaugurated as a pep rally and some of the students, including Mr. Smith, moved to the students. Because of the humor of Mr. Smith's character and because the name had proper bearing, "Old Doc Yak" was adopted.
Hobo Day was started in 1894, not but the spirit of the present day but as a means of financing a trip to Kansas City for the annual "beer bust." A convenance by the board is now the Adams House to establish an old clothes brokerage.

False Gods" Presents New Type of Production on Fraser Stage for Four Days
The curtain will go up on "False Gods," the first dramatic production of the season, at 8:20 p.m. Nov. 4, in Fraser theater. The play is entirely different from any that has been attempted on this campus, and should be especially interesting to all theatergoers.
It is full of tense, dramatic situations, skilfully enacted by a cast of forty students, the largest cast ever used in any production at the University. Prof Allen J. Crafton and Bob Gard, of the dramatic department, have charge of the scenes from the scenery for the production. Stately Egyptian pillars and elevated platforms make an impressive background for the action of the play.
The complete cast is:
Rebou, Norbert Anschutz; Bittia Jessica Jercasa; Bibier B公牛ingham; Youma, Betty Haas; Pharoh Walter Bloch; Stieward, Martin Mahoney, Phil Kaiser; Pattie Highland; Caldwell Santin, Professor Crafton; Sokitl, Charles Pipkin; Nourm, Donaldixon.

Rebhou is a wealthy Egyptian noble, and the part of Mieria, his wife, is one of the most charming and difficult princes of Egypt, the dwarf slave, and Youma is the young mystic who finds her love of the gods far stronger than human love. Santi is the young priest who can no longer keep himself to the faffity of the Egyptian gods.
Reserved seats for the play, which will run for four days, Nov. 4, 5, 6, and 7, can be obtained by holders of season tickets at the ticket office in New York on Oct. 31. Single admission tickets for those who do not have activity tickets are 50 cents. Season tickets for the four productions are one dollar. They are available at the ticket office.
