Tiger Rooters Build Hopes For Victory On Princeton Coach
"I Don't Believe Roper Can Help Missouri Any"—Potsy Clark
The Missouri Tiger team has asked Bill Roper, head coach at Princeton, to come to Columbus until after the Thanksgiving game. Roper said he would be inside within a week or two if it were possible for him to come.
"I don't believe Roper can help Misiurii any if he is only there so short a time," said Posey Clark this morning. "The Valley rules are against seasonal coaches, but we will enter no protest formally at Misiurii," he continued. "It shows a response to a deeper situation, and that they put a premium on winning. If Kanaass needed the help of an outside coach we would call back only one of our alumni."
"When Roger was at Missouri some time ago, they brought back Alexander who had entered Illinois University a few weeks before, and also Gillett, a star player on the Rolla School of Mines team, which had been Missouri a few days before. Roper put these two men in and played them against Kansae on Thanksgiving."
Hank Gharry, a Missouri coach, who sent the request to Princeton, says that Roper can act only as an adviser and cannot formally coach the Tiger team. The Princeton coach received the appeal from Columbia shortly after Kelly resigned as head coach. He also expressed understanding that Roper's visit depended on the successful outcome of the Princeton-Yale game.
In spite of the few days that Roper will have at Columbia, the Tigers there believe that the chance for a Jahyawk victory would fade somewhat, and the hopes of the Missouri Princeton-Yale game and the near confirmation of the report that Roper will visit the Tiger camp.
Frosh Must Wear Caps
The idea that has been floating around that freshmen are not to wear their caps any more is erroneous. As in past years the freshmen will wear their caps until after Thanksgiving.
Must Wear Insignia Until Thanksgiving
According to Andy McDonald, president of the Men's Student Council, and Joe Bloomer, president of the K Club the cap rule will be rigorously enforced. Any upperclassman seeing a freshman on the Hill without his cap would be punished by a Sahom and the erring freshman will be attended to immediately.
If freshmen persist in not wearing their caps, their names will be published in the Kansan, according to Andy McDonald.

Dean Of Fine Arts Urges Music Week In Radio Address
Kansas City Star Broadcasts Speech on Value of Community Culture
Dean Harold L. Butter, of the School of Fine Arts, gave a radio talk from The Kansas City Star on broadcasting station last night on "How to Organize a Music Week in a Small Community."
"Somehow," he said, "we have fallen into an erroneous notion that music is a luxury and an accomplishment of the olds, something for the favored few. The contrary is true. Music is essentially universal, democratic, and human. Music is the best recreation in the world. It is the best way to enjoy life. Musi- Music Week is to bring the community to a realization of the value of music and also to make it realize the talent that it has within itself.
Month of May Suggested
**Suggestion:** "In the Middle World, May is the best month for such a Week because of the climate. This week should be made an occasion for celebration and contribution for everyone. Newspapers, schools, and clubs have already realized to some extent the value of such an occasion, and it is by their best work and co-operation that the individual can be brought to such a realization. Of course we must hold these musical festivals at the time of this season." That in the small community is evering when work is over.
"Naturally the number and character of the concerts which can be presented will be determined by the organizations which can help in the presentation of enjoyable music programs. The churches may play an important part, in that they can develop congregational singing, which can help with the skills of stress should also be laid on the programs given by the children, for they are the community singers of tomorrow.
Need Community Co-operation
"However, one must not think that a Music Week can be put over by the musical talent alone. They must have the co-operation of all cultural interests, and the publicity of the new works. We should arrange whatever talent they may have."
The Extension Division of the University is giving information and assistance to all middle west communities wishing to arrange for a Music Week, and the national phase of such a program is being handled by The Community Service, Inc., 1 Madison Ave., New York City.
