Colorful Weekend Climaxed by Game With Cornhuskers
Enthusiasm Runs High
Make Homecoming
Most Successful
in Years
The Homecoming program which was eliminated with a hard fought football game in Memorial stadium yesterday, is conceded by old timers to be one of the most colorful in the school's history.
Beginning early Friday morning when some 3,000 Hoboes and Hobettes took Mt. Orchard by storm, the festivities continued throughout the day with the Hobo parade to the downtown district and the Hobo dance is scheduled for the freshman football game in the aftermoon.
In the evening a glittering, new Uni-
versity band played a full concert of
classical and military music in
the Auditorium. The band then led
the audience in a tothethick parade down
to the stadium for a rally. Governor
Alf M. Landon, "Sandy," Wiser 1928,
Chancellor E. H. Liddley, and "Ad"
C. F. McGee, who also closely
closed with a big fireworks dis-
play. The more energetic then danced
at the Homecoming varsity until 12
o'clock.
Yesterday's program included a meeting of the second and third generation students and their parents in the University of Oklahoma's Administration building. Several classes also held reunions during the day. The Kansas editors continue their sessions with roundtable discussions and general meetings in Fraser Theater.
The Kansas newspaper editors and publishers gathered in the Journalism building at 10 o'clock Friday morning to begin their annual roundtable meetings.
Sigma Deta Chi, national journal-
ist fraternity honored William Allen
White at a lunchon in the Colonia
Team Room at the noon hour.
The Homecoming activities came to an official close with the varsity in the Memorial Union hallroom last night. Three hundred alumni registered during the course of the celebration, but it is believed that the total of graduates who returned neared the thousand mark.
College Advisers to Confer With Freshmen and Sophomores
Mid-Term Conferences Due
The College office called attention again yesterday to the mid-semester week, from Nov. 21 to Nov. 23, durning discussions about a new college College should consult their advisers
"All members of these classes should profit from consultations with their advisers, but this is particularly true of course, of students who are having scholastic difficulties," said J. H. Nelson, associate dean of the College.
"All unsatisfactory grades will be in hands of advisers by the beginning of the period of advising. Students whose grades are not reported will have the satisfaction of knowing that their work is of average quality or higher."
"We hope that as early as this freshmen and sophomores will begin to give thought to their next semester's course of study. Later, from Jan. 14 to Jan. 18 there will be a week of pre-advising during which students and advisers can decide on programs of courses to be approved on the enrollment floor."
The names of advisers and their office hours are posted on the bulletin board in the hall opposite the College office, 121 Administration building.

Kitchen Oilcloth Used for Raincoats Gives Spectators Air of Festivity
Lena Wyatt, c'35
Swimming its way through a sea of Kansas mud the Nebraska team yearend ran up to Kannas eleven, but neither the scorer nor the downpour dampened the spirits of the spectators who watched the 22 teams fall and buck forth across the field.
Chad in their best kitchen oilclothes, a red-checked, pink, yellow, and green crowd cheered lustily with a healthy disregard for horse voices, damp feet, and small trickles which persisted in dropping off one ear and hat. The improvised raincoats which gave an air of excitement to the child were a square of oilcloth with a whole in the center through which the head was thrust.
Examined of what the well-dressed crowd will not wear were predominant in the student section. Best fall attire included a long-sleeved shirt started at 1 cicle and old hats, alcohols and galoshes, reminiscent of Hobo Day were substituted in their
Meeting the difficulties at hand manly pipes were turned downward by concerned owners who feared their going out, fresh curls were tucked under old kerbs, as students moved closer together to keep warm.
Perhaps most disappointed by the weather were the band, who appeared resplendent in new uniforms ready to go through elaborate drills for the team. The band prepared for weeks. But rain or not, the parade went on and the only compromise made to Old Man Weather was the removal of feather shakes from the deep point ears and the disaparence of creases in bright blue trousers.
New-Garbed Band Gives Finished Performance
Large Audience Pleased by Unusual Musical Program
The appearance of the University of Kansas band under its new director Kelsey Cannon, who estimated at 3500 people, the band displayed a finish and precision in it playing that made the evening a memorial.
Mr. Wiley showed his ability as a conductor of the first order with his control over the group and in first order with his orchestra, as the "Finite" from the "Fourth Symphony," (Techaikowsky) and the "Obon Overture" from Weber. Sheena marches played with a dash brought by greatest of enthusiasm from the audience.
The band has been recruited with a regard for tonal balance and virtuosity on the part of the players. The three solistresses played on last evening's program pleased the audience and the musicians, who were considerably beyond their expectations. Paul Smart played a brilliant set of variations on the old Italian air, "Funicula," Funicula*, with the style and finish of an artist, James Van Dyck, who came to Kansas from the University of Kansas, the main under the baton of Mr. Wilsey, pleased the large audience with a harpite tone. Horace Thuronch, who like Van Dyck was at Phillips University last year, gave an exhibition of brilliant trembole playing in a series of songs on "My Old Kentucky Home."
The concert moved through with precision and no delay, closing with "The Stars and Stripes Forever." This number was given in true Sousa style, first the pictos and later the trombones, trumpets and drums stepped to the front of the stage facing the audience, thrilling performance of the number.
When the curtain ported Friday evening, the band, resplendent in its new uniforms of West Point style, was seated on three different levels. With the tall hats of white with the reel of black hair, the striking stork picture was effected.

As the group marched down the field, in perfect formation of brilliant array on a muddy field, the students cheered in appreciation of the long hours of training and preparation for the excursion. Even the boys of the band seemed to enjoy the maneuver for they were still marching when the teams returned and began warming up on the field, necessitating a busy cast for the performing group.
For the players it was literally slake or swain. The field became a mire as the game progressed and jerseys and minerals become unrecognizable. After a few drills, the mud from each others eyes. Specators found themselves cheering for the wrong players. In one dramatization of the scene, a bouncy paddle of mud and with an impressive sweep of a beheaded arm painted South signifying to the crowd that it was Kinsma'i ball. It was in such cases that the mud represented the position of their team.
In the Nebraska section subtle remarks were made about the dry stature of the U.S. military academy officials who charged after having announced previous to the game that strict measures were being taken in response to harassing crowd would not be wet.

Newspaper Codes Principal Subject Of Kansas Editors
(Continued on Page Three)
More Than 200 Publishers Attend Annual Round-tables at University
Newpaper codes furnished the central theme of the three sessions of the Kansas Rountables with the department of Journalism, Friday and Saturday for the meeting. Their wives were registered for the meetings. Friday evening the group were guests of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce at a banquet, and yesterday they were guests of the athletic conference at the Kansas-Nebraska football name.
An as soon at the roundabouts got under vry Friday the code problem came up Angelo Scott to call the police on the question Friday afternoon and answered questions.
Code Is Opportunity
"The newspaper code is the printers' opportunity to get a proper price for his work," said Mr. Scott. "I am heartily in with you. We've tried it out and found that it really worked. With very few exceptions we have not lost a lot of business and have found that prices are substantially advanced, and profits most certainly are." The reporter asked when his father had lost business by reason of the code, two or three replied they had. Further questioning showed these were from towns of less than 1000 population, and Mr. Scott said he thought there was a large market for code prices for the smaller towns.
Mr. Scott declared that it was not the purpose of the Kansas code authority to enforce penalties under the law, but rather to point out to the Kansas printers the advantage to them in coming under the code.
Editors "Pourers of Lead"
At the afternoon meeting, Dr. Helen O. Mahin of the journalism faculty,趴ked on "Powers of Lead," likening the editors in their stand for freedom of the press to the defenders of media criticism, molten lead on the heads of beskengers.
Leonard O'Bryan of Lawrence, who has been an exchange scholar in Germany the past three years, talked on domination of the press—by imperial rulers and by professors as in France, and by the advertiser, as in America, W. A. Bailley of Kansas City, Kan., challenged the charge of business office domination in America, and O'Bryan countered with experiences from York since his return from Germany.
Eloe Scott Watson, editor of the Publisher's Auxiliary of the College, offered suggestions for improvement of the local news service, adding that improvement of the news service automatically took care of the advertising problem

Students in school at present accept the stadium only as another part of the campus. But the stadium was the result of a low and earnest campaign.
and to those few who saw it for the first time yesterday, it is the visualization of a long hoped-for dream. The drive for the stadium began back in 1919, but the goal was not reached until 1928—nine years of hard
beautifying of the campus was begun. Many of the faculty members at that time complained that the University grounds were losing their natural beauty because of modern improvements and shrubbery was planted. At once a new set of planets were drawn up, and blue prints were made.
Many heavier changes probably attract a resilient eye from the graduates as they leave college days. The new road in front of Wattinia hall will spit some old dreams of rainy days there the businessmen also be reamed by many. "The rides from Oread to Massachusetts on the street ear were packed with lots of visitors."
Changes are bound to come with the years. These changes make the campus a very new place to many graduates, a wonderful place to students of today.

For three quarters, the stubborn Juyhawker defense staved off all the Cornhuskers threaks, but in the final period the Nebraskans launched a drive that ended in victory. The attack was started deep in Nebraskans' territory, for which they faced for a 42 yard jam off tackle to put the ball on the Kansas side. Eldridge and Eason alternated to lug the ball into the end zone at At that point, rather than risk a rumble with the wet ball, the Huskers sent Bert Yellings, reserve back end to place kick and his efforts cleared the Big Six champions in the lead.
The first quarter was mostly Nebraska.

The ground-gainer for the Huskers, averaging more than 7 yards each time he carried the ball, Skewes and Parsons had outworked the Huskers and 5 yards respectively per try.
