CORNHUSKER SPECIAL BRINGS 400 ROOTERS
Nebraska Governor Among Boosters of Northern Invaders
Saturday morning at about 10 o'clock a special train is scheduled to arrive in Lawrence at the Union Pacific station. The more fact that the train is a special carries with it no great weight, for in these days the train can be as light as that on this particular train will be approximately twenty-five of the best football players in the Valley from the University of Nebraska, a thirty-one band, and four hundred loyal Cornhushner roots, means that the day is really started and that the train whistle is far in the distance.
Reservations for this Nebraska special have been made for some time at Lincoln, and quoting from the Daily Nebraskan, "The open season for Jayhawkers commences at that time, and Nebraska states state war paint and feathers with them on the special train." So from all indications, the city will not be the quietest place in the state when the special arrives. From the tone of the Daily Nebraskan it would seem that they are going to be in full war dress, and will come to Lawrence, adding another tail feather from the Jayhawkers to their collection.
The Ku Kun Klan is planning to meet the Nebraska special with the team. He will coach the vaders across the river and into Lawrence proper. "They will be treated only as good sports can treat a friendly enemy," said Lloyd Young, a vlogger.
The Governor of Nebraska is coming to Lawrence Saturday, but whether he will accompany the rooters on the special it was not known, or the other day, is a Saturday morning will have a chance to nut on a two fold demonstration.
The exact hour of the arrival of the special has not been definitely set as yet, but it is expected about 10 o'clock at Saturday morning.

"The men of the Thirty Fifth and Eighty Ninth Divisions who fought overseas, did their duty like true Americans," said Major General William M. Wright speaking before the students of the University of Wisconsin on Tuesday for a commemoration of the second anniversary of the signing of the Armistice, which closed the Great War. "Furthermore, it is your duty, as citizens, never to forget those who gave their lives at the front, and those who came back with them." You must remember them to your constant care. You must never forget them.
The second Aristotle Day celebration started with a narade of ex-service men, Red Cross members, K. U. R. O. T. C., and the Haskell battalion, from South Park, up Massachusetts, before the review was reviewed by General Wright.
Other features of the line of march were, a float prepared by the ex-sailors, who took part in the parade, and an anti-tank gun, a rebel of the Great War, belonging to Major Sam G. Clarke, of Lawrence. The parade proceeded to Robinson Gymnasium, where the program for the day was given.
Vice Chancellor, W. L. Burdick was the first speaker on the program. He spoke on "The Mayflower Compact," in memory of the 300th anniversary of the landing of the pilgrims. Dr. Burdick was followed by Dean Harold Butler, who sang "The Americans Come."
Chancellor E. H. Lindley then in introduced General Wright, as a man, possessing an honor which few men have held.

GOVERNOR ALLEN TO TALK
Present Students Will Join Rally in Fraser After Olympics
The best is yet to come. The big splurge in rallies for this year will come Saturday morning at 10:30 oclock when the old therms and presidents meet, and then a free blow-fest. It is called the K. U. Old Timers' Rally by the former students and graduates of K. U. will be the nucleus around which rally spirit will center. But every woman who knows of the box and the K. U. spirit entitles anybody to a square foot of floor space. And the women especially are given a special delivery invitation to join the mob. For it is the women say the men who are planning the rally are expecting a meeting of this kind.
GOVENOR ALLEN WILL ASSIST
The Old Timers are going to be there en masse. Fraser Hall will have to stretch itself to hold them all. But it's the only logical place to have the rally according to Alfred G. Hill alumni secretary who engineered the idea. It's like this. Ever since 1872 the Old Timers have gathered in Fraser Hall to give vent to their football feelings, and to meet there again tomorrow. Will they pull the old fight before they go out to McCook. To make it seen more like old times, former cheerler leaders will steer the cheering in the right direction.
The crowd won't have to do it all however. Governor Henry J. Allen has promised to assist with a short talk and will drive down from Topeka early morning to be there. Then Chancellor Lindley will visit the gymnasium, the director of athletics, will provide the football atmosphere, Irving Hill 96, president of the Alumni Association will preside.
"Uncle Jimmy's" Sculptor Has Exhibit in Spooner
TO MEET NEW CHANCLENCEER
The Old Timers will meet at Fashion University, an old chancellor E. H. Lindley, and to renew old school acquaintances. An Old Timer, by the way, Mr. Hill says is anyone who has seen at least three K. U. football teams in action. The entrance test is simple. At 11 o'clock the program really begins. By that time the Olympics will be over. The McCook will come up. Another feature of interest is that the meeting will adjourn promptly at 12 o'clock. Many of the old grads probably will come to Lawrence on an early train in order to be at this rally. And when the Homecomers get into action Fraser Chapel will do a shimmy. The Old Timers' Rally. No one in Lawrence whether '72 or '24 should miss it.
Quill Club will not meet Thursday night. The next meeting will be Thursday, December 2
Mayer. Thray has loaned and placed on exhibit in the hall of Spooner Library a photographic collection of the works of the famous sculptor, Daniel Chester French. This photographic collection shows the following works: The bronze doors done by French for the Public Library of Boston; French's "Lincoln," his "Washington," his two sculptures, and his Angel of Death Staying the Hand of the Sculptor, and "The Minute Man," and others.
The interest of K. U. students in this collection should be insured because French was recently a guest of K. U., and because of the great honors he received from Green by making a statue of him who is erected on the K. U. Campus.

Everything is ready for the last big game of the year on McCook field tomorrow. Coach Allen has not given out a definite lineup as yet, but rooters may rest assured that eleven of the best of Kansas warriors will be in action this weekend. In reports of the coaches, Kansas has enough to make two teams.
According to current rumors, Nebraska has just a shade of the advantage, and the odds seem to be with the Com通huskers. But a few facts of the game seem to be that Kansas is playing at home while the opposing team crowns in years. Kansas has been said to have the fighting team in the valley. The Kansas team is light but fast and shifty, Coaches are not over confident, but they do have hopes of winning and it is known that one has said that he expects Kansas to win. the practice this week has been particularly strenuous, so then even have been kept on a ternum until it was too dark for further work.

Announcement that the drive would really start next Monday was made by Prof. W. J. Baumgartner chairman of the executive committee of the Memorial Fund Committee who will have headquarters in the Ammunition Building, where several clinical speakers at the convention Monday morning will be J. Merle Smith, of Kansas City one of K. U.'s loyal and painful alumni, and Chancellor Lindley, who will tell of the plans for the drive and the task that such an undertaking involves, in an effort to make sure that none sense of the responsibility roasting upon them in making the initial step go over big.

Very sincere yours,
E. H. LINDLEY,
Chancellor
NO QUOTA FIXED YET
The committee has announced no figure as yet which it expects the students of the University to reach but a definite goal for the drive will be settled upon at the Monday lunchon. The plan for the drive campaign calls for subscriptions made payable over a period of 4 years in semi-annual payments coming on November 1 and May 1.
"Upon the subscriptions made in response to the drive both here on the Hill and elsewhere, depends the fate of the project," said a member of the Memorial committee this morning. "Plans for the Stadium and the Union building and also the sites for both have been made available for the financing of the project to be accomplished. Students here at the University now are to have the first chance to subscribe to the Memorial, and upon their support of the project will depend largely the attitude which alumni and friends of the University throughout the country will take when it comes their turn to subscribe. Members of the student committee must realize that the students will respond liberally to the call, I believe the committee is right."
