Ponselle Program Will Open Concerts of 1933-34 Season

Metropolitan Opera Star Expected to Draw Crowd Monday Evening
The University Concert course will present its first program of the year Monday evening at 8:20 in the University auditorium, featuring Ronna Ponsella, soprano of the Metropolitan Opera company.
The music critic of the New York Post in commenting on the opera star said, "Possibly only Rosa Ponselke's voice is worth it. That music critics designate the designation of a great voice."
Miss Ponselle's success has not come easily. Her parents were poor, and before she was 15 she was contributing to the family exchequer, singing in one of the small picture-houses of Meriden, Conn., where she lived. Later she sang in one of New Haven's leading hotels, and then sang of singing in Keith's kav谊线 circuit.
It was through Caruso that Miss Ponselle advanced from the vaudeville circuit to the greater glories of the Metropolitan Opera. After hearing her sing one night he confided to her, "You shall sing with me at the Metropolitan yet." She said she would be trained, she had become the leading dramatic soprano of the opera company.
Miss Ponselle designs many of her own costumes, and in her penthouse apartment overlooking Riverside drive in New York, she has demonstrated her talent as an interior decorator. The living room is hung with blue velvet hangings which were once a part of the cyclorama that served as backdrop to the singing act in which she appeared on the Keith circuit.
Outside the bungalow, almost a city, block of roof-top is laid out in graveled walks and hedges and provides her with much walking space.
Her concert to be given here has attracted considerable attention. A telegram yesterday from Emporia asked for reservation of fourteen seats. A block of seats was also laid aside for persons coming from Olathe. Other reservations have been made for persons coming from Manhattan, Atchison, Salina, Leavenworth, St. Joseph, Missouri, Kansas City, and Topela.
At 8 o'clock on the evening of the concert, tickets not issued to students will be placed on sale as, unreserved general admission.
Factory Plan Discarded
Scheme Dropped Because of Short Time Remaining Until Christmas
Factory Plan Discarded
At a meeting of the Self-Supporting Student association last night a report was made by Wray Chote for the committee which met last Sunday concerning the co-operative factory plan for employing students. The plan was dropped for this year because only seven weeks remain until Christmas, and the committee felt that time too short.
Two items, however, will be made, under the direction of Henry Werner, men's student adviser, and Professor F. A. Russell. One of the items will be a glove with a moveable Jayhawk head and the other is a football to it. Both of these items will be sold by working students at the Missouri football game.
Charles Bekaert and James Polkingorn were appointed on a committee to study the possibilities of the larger factory-plan for next year. They will make a report at the next regular meeting, Fred Epp, Will Robb, and Will Erickson were appointed as a committee to work on new ideas for social events. They are planning weekly or monthly club-meetings with discussions and debates. The report of this committee will be given a week from Saturday at the party which will be held in the Union.
HALLOWEEN PRANK CAUSES
COLLISION OF AUTOMOBILES
Swerging to miss a wheelbarrow, left in the street by Halloween pranksters, Dr. H. W. Hutchinson crashed into the car driven by Kenneth Slocum, 136, last night, on Tennessee street between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets.
Dr. Hutchinson swerped to miss the wheelbarrow, just as Slocum pulled over to avoid a parked car at the curb, and the two cars crashed in mid-street. Slocum was tossed over on to the parkway and the front left wheel of Dr. Hutchinson's car was completely torn off. The fenders and lights on Dr. Hutchinson's car were badly damaged. No one was injured.

Everybody is requested to be there and give the team their support. The two coaches and Dr. Allen will speak. Definite word has not been received if the band will appear.
Large Radio Audience Hears Buehler Debate
Broadcast Control Subject of International Discussion
Commenting on the internationally broadcast debate yesterday, in which E. C. Buehler, professor of speech, was a member of the affirmative team, Levering Tison, chairman of the National Committee on Education by Radio, remarked that "The debate was in every very successful and educational."
"It was the largest potential radio audience in the history of radio," said Mr. Buehler, Chancellor Chase, of New York University, spoke from New York City, while all the others talked from the Merchandise Mart in Chicago.
Those who upheld the question, "Resolved: That the United States should adopt the essential features of the British system of radio control and operation," were Professor Buchler, C. C. Cummisham, debate coach at Northwestern University, Henry Bunk, professor of debate at the University of Wisconsin.
The negative team was composed of Dr. Harry W. Chase, Chancellor of Ford University, Professor C. H. Judd and Profender T. V. Smith, of Chicago University.

the autumn rains are bringing forth a bewildering array of multi-colored raincoats. Pluids, checks, and brilliant colors are replacing the yellow rains.
MULTICOLORED RAINCOATS
OF CHECKS AND PAILDS
FAVORED ON HILL TODA
College men seem to prefer the dun colored trench coat, which gives a decidedly military air, especially when worn over riding breeches and boots. The college woman, however, appears in the Hollywood rain cap, which was featured at the world's Fair and was seen at the Notre Dame game at South Bend. These caps, it seems, are very flattering to the majority of wearers.
A few are wearing plaid raincoats with capes. These are typically Chiugano, and a glance at the label is sure to bear out this impression. Eastern ideas seem to be pervading the West.
Hatchet Dug Up as Theta-Phi Psi Truce Ends by Egg War
The Theta-Phi Psi feud, which for years has been an interesting sideline in campus activities, has broken loose again. The feud has been smouldering for some time following a truce between the two houses several years ago.
The Thetaes yesterday received an official declaration of war, a sa result of the doubling of green paint on the Phi Psi sidewalk, and the "egging" of one of the Phi Psi cars. The declaration was signed by humorous and blood-thirsty names, and evidently the Thetaes thought the warning was a bluff.
Last night about 11 o'clock, a group of young men gathered near the Theta house, and burst into the strains of "Theta Lips." The Thetas gathered at the windows, expecting to enjoy a serenade, and following the singing of their song, they burst loose with a volley of applause. Assured of an audience, the carolers commenced to sing that old favorite, "Far Away." When the chorus was reached, in place of singing the words written by the composer, the serenaders shouted "egg away" and a barrage of eggs fled toward the open windows, which were filled with unsuspecting women.
The Theta's have vowed revenge, and the outcome is yet to be determined.

Spectators to See New Stunt Parade Thanksgiving Day
Organization Contestants to Compete for Cups at Homecoming Day Spectacle
An innovation in entertainment at football games has been announced by the University athletic office, when the spectators at the Missouri-Kansas game Thanksgiving day will witness a stunt parade by organized Hill groups.
Cups will be offered the winning contestants who will appear in the stadium before the football fans attending the annual homecoming classic. Fraternities, sororites and other organizations on the Hill are being asked to enter in the national tournament which will award prizes on the basis of ingenuity rather than costly display.
The entrants will be permitted to walk, or decorate a vehicle that can be moved about the field. Though many of the displays will probably be aimed at children, the primary purpose of the parade will be to draw the launder of the crowd.
The judges for the contest have not been selected as yet, but will probably be a group of visiting personages attending the game.
"I would like for every organized group on the Hill who is interested in the parade, to send a representative to a meeting in the Journalism building next Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock. The purpose of the meeting will be to outline the details of the event," said Patterson. The parade contestants will march in the stadium before the game on Turkey day, with the finalists returning between halves for the awarding of the prizes.
James R. Patterson has been selected by the athletic office to direct the parade
Kansas State to Receive $8856 as Share of Gate
Larger Attendance Thi Year Pays Less Than Did 19:1 Crowd
A check for $8,563.31 was sent to M. K Aibear, director of athletics at M. Kansas State College, today by the University athletic management in payment of Kansas State's share in the receipts of the football game last Saturday.
Settlement within four days after the game is a Big Six record for promptness, Dr. F. C. Allen believes.
Total receipts for the game Saturday,
were $18,382.59 from a total attendance
of 17,500. Tickets to the value of $1233.20
were sold at Manhattan before the game.
Two years ago, when Kansas State played here, the attendance was 15,900 and total receipts $23,613.68, of which $4,278.50 was for tickets sold at Manhattan. Kansas State's share of the 1931 receipts was $12,346.49.
While the number of tickets sold at Manhattan this year was scarcely one-third what it was two years ago, the total attendance was increased some 25 percent and the abundance of radio broadcasting and the reduced prices of the present season.
Something more than 10,000 tickets were sold at the gate, divided in price range as follows: Children's 10-cent tickets, 335; high school students at 25 cents, 467; middle school students, 142; general admission at $1.25, 964; general admissions at $2.20, 546.
The "gate" sales did not include student activity tickets; season tickets; Kansas editors and wives, Junior Jayhaws, hands, press, and the like.
*More persons paid admission at the higher price than at all the other prices

Dec. 1 Set as Tentative Date for First Appearance of Publication
The first issue of a quarterly magazine containing fiction, poetry, articles and criticism will appear about Dec. 1, according to the present plan of its editors, John Gilchrist and Robert Gard.
Tentatively, the name of the publication is "The Gale." The price for individual copies will be twenty-five cents, and the subscription rate, one dollar for the four issues. It will be distributed through book shops and campus salesmen.
The magazine will be rather conservative in tone with emphasis upon selection and treatment of material that will interest not only University students, but faculty members, and non-university people as well. The stories, articles, and poems will not be limited by definite editorial requirements.
"Manuscripts may be as original and striking as the writer can make them, provided they are well written and are interesting to a large number of readers." "The articles may be on controversial subjects, and they must have force.
"The magazine is intended to serve as an outlet for the creative work of both student and faculty members. Material for the first issue has been selected. The editors will be glad to consider manuscripts for the remaining issues."

HALLOWEEN VARSITY CROWD
BREAKS ATTENDANCE RECORD
The meeting will be followed by a luncheon at the Memorial Union building at 12:30. Reservations should be made with Miss Maud Elliott of the University Spanish department.
At least one attendance record was broken last Saturday when 702 admissions were paid at the Hallowe'en varsity in the Memorial Union, according to Lloyd Lane, varsity dance mangaer. This represents the greatest number of persons to attend a University dance since the Senior Cake Walk in the spring of 1929. Ted Weems and his orchestra played then for the party which drew 713 admissions.
Last year at the Homecoming varsity, 47 persons composed the largest crowd at any of the school parties #t which admission was charged.
Burdick Speaks at Forum
Several students were guests at the dinner-forum held at the Phi Alpha Delta house Tuesday night. Dr. William L. Burdick, professor of law and vice-president of the University of Kansas, was the speaker of the evening. His subject was "Medical Jurisprudence."
Gridgraph Not to Be Used
The gridgraph will not be used for the game with Oklahoma Saturday, according to Fred Elsworth, secretary of the Alumni association. It was used in games against UCLA and Tulsa games, but has proved unprofitable because of small attendance.
