FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1932 WELCOME BACK Once a year we officially welcome the "old grad" back to the campus that once was theirs and that now we so proudly call ours. Once a year we extend that old glad hand, and we mean it. Once a year we rally round these returning Jayhawkers and listen to tales of woefit and plight from those that they have connected from their college days, memories that go down the years with them. Bands, rallies, pep meetings, a football game in the afternoon, a varsity and then in the "wee small" hours of the morning, a bull-fest, the chief breeding ground of college bonds and friendships. We undergrads enjoy Home coming just as much as the returning slummi. CHINESE MUSIC The two short Chinese folk songs played by Dr. T. Z. Koo at the convention added a charming personal touch to his address, a thing that is difficult for many speakers to do graciously and easily. The show also highlighted his audience a mental picture of the Orient that was comprehensive and valuable. The mechanics of this weird, plaintive music can be briefly explained. Our major scale is divided into eight intervals making the octave, while the Chinese and other old scales, although covering a range similar to the octave, are divided into larger intervals, six in all, making the so-called pentatonic scale. The music of the Orient seems to signify the ever-restlessness of its peoples, the slow and arduous effort they have made to keep pace with their younger neighbors, the existence of an underlying discontent with past and present achievement. The expectant, unsatisfying mood of this music seems incongruous with respect to the age of the nation. A civilization that has existed for thousands of years might be expected to show an air of definite finality, an attitude of accomplishment and well being, in the music of younger nations that portrays these characteristics. Friday is a grand old day TODAY IS FRIDAY From Monday on, Friday is the main thought of every student on the Hill. Friday night means relaxation. Throughout the day students prepare for the complete collage which will last until Monday morning. Books are slammed shut and dumped along with incomplete notebooks in any accessible spot. Lectures, alarm clocks, quizzes, professors and 8:20 whisties are not considered. Friday shoves our institution of learning right out of the picture. HUSKING THE HUSKERS' CORN Tomorrow will be the day of days in Kansas football history; it will be a turning point in the battle for supremacy between the Universities of Nebraska and Kansas; it will be a great victory won by a great team of crimson and blue warriors. After sixteen years of fasting, victory is going to taste exceedingly good. And victory tomorrow afternoon will send a Homecoming crowd home in high spirits praising the worthiness of the Jayhawkers. Kansas has never won a victory over Nebraska on the Memorial Studium field. The giant Corn-huskers from Lincoln seem to have the 'Indian sign' on the Jawhackers, but tomorrow is a different Those Jayhawkers have their fighting blood stirred they will be hard to stop. You're not going to Homecoming, Mr. Camhouser. YOUTH AND THOMAS The youth of the country seem to be strongly in favor of Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate for president in his courageous, but apparently hopeless fight for presidential election. According to this week's Literary Digest poll, the three outstanding candidates are Roosevelt, 1,662,087; Hoover, 781,431; and Thomas, 106,352. One fifth of the Thomas vote comes from the "first voters"; he receives 20.99 per cent of this group; Roosevelt, 14.46; and Hoover, 12.90. This strong Thomas showing in the first voters' column is perfectly natural. Thomas is intelligent, brilliant, and appealing to young people especially. He is fighting a colorful battle against odds, he is a man of education and breeding; he is free from party stigma and graft. Then too, the first voter does not fear a dractic economic change—although probably such a change would not occur were Thomas elected. The first voter hasn't much to lose should the present system be done away with, anyway. Finally, there is a definite pro-Thomas attitude growing in our colleges which has been further fanned by the frequent talks Thomas has given there, and the Socialists' clubs which have been springing up on campuses. Thomas will get many collegian first votes. Another reason for his good showing is that it no longer is a disgrace to call yourself a Socialist. It has come to signify liberal, progressive ideas and on open mind not adverse to change. "MAC" It is with regret that University students and alumni learn of J. C McCanes' illness. The band director, who has been in service for a quarter of a century, is regarded as one of the most connected with the University. Tomorrow's game will be the first home football game at which he has not directed the band. As the students and "grad" watch the band form a large K.U. in the center of the floor, they missin, and a wish for Mac's speedy return will be in every mind. Our Contemporaries Chicago's Forty-Star Man Chicago's Ferry-Sarah Park. After forty years of service as the guardian band of University of Chicago athletics, the Ferry-Sarah Park, the grand old man of the Milwaukee, was loved out of active service as a result of a rule at the Maroon institution prohibiting men from holding a peat on the faculty after reaching the age of seventy. Stagg left Yale, where he had been one of the EI institute's leading athletes, in 1892 to assume command of the athletic destinies of Chicago, which was opening its doors as a school of learning. As a result of diligent work, he not only produced winning teams but he became one of the outstanding directors in amateur sports. Stagg always has been a militant crusader for true sportsmanish. His reputation as a leader of men over-shadowed one of the most remarkable records ever attained by a coach who played 104 and tied 28. 343 players, looting 104 and tying 28. In remarking upon Stagge's fore-rement, Majie John Griffith, an officer of the War Department, ferenced, stated, "Stagge is the greatest single influence for good in college admissions." Chicago has not been blind to the sterling qualities of her famous coach. In addition to singing his praises in school songs and in naming the school stadium for him, she presented Stagg last spring with a forty-stain blanket in recognition of his forty years of athletic service. However, like a man who continually is progresing and improving in his work, Stag objected to forced retirement, stating that he expected to be paid until he passed away and wanted to continue to be active. In view of the high quality of the work he has done in the last four years, there is no reason to believe that he would have retired from Chicago several months of valuable service.

BETTY SLOAN, Captain. covered a method for treating a man's face in such a way that never thereafter will whiskers grow on his physiognomy map. This is an amazing discovery and is loaded to the muzzle with important possibilities. The treatment consisting of exposing the face to certain rays, is most successful. It is said. It would seem that this Viernes doezer has discovered a great boon to mankind. We have never been able to appreciate the value of whiskers. They are not particularly prey to look at and eat, but can be sacrificed or uncivilized production, they clutter up man's face to the extent of concealing his features. Think of the many amides originating behind whiskers which are bound to remain unseen or to be taken for vultures grins. The human skin is in the embarrassing position of not knowing whether the waiver is taughing or crying. It might be argued that man was originally endowed with whiskers to keep his face warm, but this argument is not consistent. When whiskers were handed around, then, why was the door Indian and the Eskimo overloaded. The latter, who lives in the far north where there are no ice sheets, had with the mercury down to 60 and 80 degrees below zero, is short on whiskers. Frequently one meets a man who, when he politely takes off his hat, is held as an e.g.—yet his face may be alm most concealed by the finest crop of hair. What a shame! Mother Nature never makes a mistake. This doctor's discovery will be re- received with open heart by the man who has to share every day of his life to suppress his beard. But the fuzzy-faced youth will speak disaparcingly of this Viennese benefactor. The up and coming young man is very proud when he first begins to wear a beard, because the daily use of the razor. His joy is boundless because 'he is old enough to dress, but he does notguice to consider that he has started something that he will never be able to finish—Queen's University Journal.
