Snake Dance, Bonfire, Picture Shows and Much Eats in Store for the Revelers
Sh-hh! Saturday night with the setting of the sun, the sinister "tramp, trump" of two thousand white robed figures will vibrate across the dreamy town of Lawrence. —Don't get panicky. We have no information as to any Ku Klux convention, but we got the advance done on something that is much more exciting—the "Night Shirt Parade."
The whole week end will be chucked full of pep. Or course nobody is forgetting about the rally Friday night. The old Stadium will be given a startling awakening from its long summer's snooze. "I'll sure be a hot affair when the gang gets together on the Stadium field at 7:30 tomorrow night! The fans demand the bonfires roaring and the torches sizzing, while "Mac" and his band blare merely away on the "Bola" song.
All Women Out
"Sure the women are supposed to be there," continued Ham. "When I prance out on that Stadium field tomorrow night, here's hoping that there are as many skirts as trousers in the crowd."
The real fire-works explode Saturday night, according to Hamilton. After dragging the Creightonians in the dust what could be more delightful than a good old-fashioned "snake dance" down, Massachusetts street Greenville will be faced at the street intersections awaiting the "be-nightied" frolickers, thirsty from the over-abundance of doughnuts, apples, and candies that will be showered out upon them at South Park. After smoking a nice big black cigar how blissful he can be to relax in the sunlight of the effects of his dissipation wear off while you enjoy a good movie.
Be On Time at gym
Here's the pose in straight English.
'Put on your nightyism and swing up the street to the gym.' You may feel foolish, 'you remember, there are more thousand in the 'gym boat.' Be sure to get to the park at 7:30, 'cause the gang will leave for South Park at 7:45 and you sure want to be in line. After the feed in the park, the outfit will snake dance down the street, eating velling as it goes.'
Mav Earn Concert Ticket
The traditional bonfire will be lighted at about 9:00 on a vacant lot near the telephone building at Eighth and Massachusetts where there will be speeches. Then for the free picture shows and finally home again and to—Ah, that's where you get ahead in this perpetual race against time--you already have your "nightly" on.
Students Selling Ten Tickets Win Free Admittance
Students who have felt that they could not afford tickets to the concert course may now have an opportunity to earn their way. By selling ten $8 seats to the concert, they will be given one of the best seats and by selling ten $4 seats, they may be one of the moderately price seats.
Arrangements should be made at once, Dean D. M. Swarthout announces, and all those who are interested should come to the office of the School of Fine Arts, located in middle Administration building. If five seats are sold, credit towards seat will be given proportionately.
The concert course seat sale has been good, but its financial stability will not be certain until $800 or $900 more is received, according to those in charge. The support of the dents and townships is needed that the high tone of the concerts be maintained.
The contract for the manufacture of posters to he used in advertising the Varsity dences this year was awarded to the Oread Art Shop, which is managed by "Ken" Alexander. The Oread Art Shop, conducted entirely by students, turned in the lowest bid for this work. Several other companies were after the contract.

Tom D. Johnston Drowned in Kaw-- Body Not Found
Prominent Law Student a Victim to River Current as Boat Strikes Hidden Log
Tom D. Johnston, a second year law student, was drowned in the Kaw river Wednesday at 4:30 p.m., when the cance in which he and two frank law students, Paul Lamb and Frank Snell, were riding, hit a snag and turned over. Lamb and Snell swam to shore.
The three students were on their way to the canoe landing at the foot of Ohio street when the accident occurred. They had large intake funnel when they saw something under the surface of the water which looked like a fish, but they paid no attention to it. A moment later the boat swam into the object, which was a sang sticking up from a log. The rear of the boat swung out into the current, which was swift, and the canoe overturned.
Two Swim 10 Shore
The men clung to the boat but soon saw that the boat was soon to swim they to the shore if they were to keep from going over the dam, three-fourths of a mile further down the stream. Johnston was caught in the main current and was unable to escape. The other two men reached the shore they saw their friend struggling with the water, which was rapidly carrying him down stream. They ran as fast as they could, but by the time they got to the boat handing them was almost down to the bridge.
Several men, who were working at one of the piers of the bridge, saw the body in time to lower a rope. Johnston made a feeble effort to grasp it but the water was too deep for the water. It is thought by many who are acquainted with the actions of the river that an undercurrent sucked him down.
Through the use of graphbooks fruitless attempts were made unill a late hour last night to locate the body.
"Tommie," as he was better known on the Hill, was 25 years old. He was born in St. Joseph, M., where he lived until ten years ago when he moved to Winfield with his parents. He was secretary of the local chapter of Phi Alpha Delta, honorary law fraternity, and was on the School of Law honor roll last spring. Jonathon graduated from school and attended Southwestern University for two years before coming to K. U. He received his A. B. in the spring of '22.
He is survived by a stepfather, Dr F. M. Wilmer, and his mother, Mrs. Wilmer.
Dr. and Mrs. F. M. Wilmer arrived in Lawrence at 6:30 this morning.
Dr. and Mamie in Lawrence at 6:30 this morning.
Mamie was being dragged just below the dam and grabbooks were being used above the dam at 2 this afternoon in an attempt to locate Johnston's body. Boats were sent down the river as far as Eudora. It was thought that searchers would dynamite above the dam this evening.
Men to Discuss Problems Will View Religious Aspect of Campus Questions

These groups will meet at the different homes of the men who are interested. Dr. R. A. Schwegler of the School of Education will have charge of a training class preparing leaders for the discussion groups.
Chancellor to Speak at Peabody Chancellor E. H. Lindley will speak in Peabody, Friday evening, Oct. 5, at the dedication of the new high school there. His subject will be "Education and the Community."
