Homecoming 1956 Starts Tradition
By KATHY TUSSING
Kansan Staff Writer
If the homecoming committee does not specify a theme for Homecoming Day 1782 it won't be the first time. Themes for homecoming did not come into the University of Kansas until the 1800s.
The year was 1956 and the theme for homecoming was "Songs for Victory." That year the winning displays were based on the songs "You'll Wonder Where the Yellow Cent." "Moments to Remember," "Moments to Remember" and "Too Popped to Pop."
The next year was the year of Tweetie Bird. "Comic Strip Characters" was the theme for this year's cover and used Tweetie Bird as their main character. Runners-up included Dennis the Menace, Peanuts and Narnia.
IN 1959, song titles were seen on the front lawns of KU houses. "When the Saints Go Marcheting" was played during "Whistle While You Work" and "Get Me to the Church on Time" were the winning displays that
Music was again seen in the homecoming theme in 1961. That year decorations were based on musical comedies.
Homecoming 1963 saw a serious note added to the campus
festivities. The theme was "Higher Education—The Road to the Future." This theme was carried out in conjunction with the Kansas motto: "To the Stars Through Difficulties" and the drive above the golden valley from "The crimson and the Blue."
ALTHOUGH 36 groups took part in homecoming decorations that year, 15 groups expressed dislike of the serious theme.
In an article in the Kansan of Oct. 30, 1983, Richard H. Besson, president of the homecoming committee, said the purpose of the change in the type of theme was to give alumni a chance to see another side of the University.
1984's homecoming was back on the light side with 'The Circus' by John Scofield, a theme. All aspects of the circus and circumfest life were seen in the show.
KU's 100th birthday celebration presented dual themes of "the Homecoming" and "The Century" relating to the centennial celebration, a second "the Story" was chosen for decorations.
THE HOMECOMING game with Nebraska was the main focus of Homecoming Day with the men's team standing. "Grace" Pearson Scholarship Hall won its third consecutive homecoming game and the men's hall division and also won the sweeps wakes with a
mechanized "Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show."
The Student Peace Union got on the news with a homecoming display. The display included a slogan saying, 'War is good business. Invest your money.'
"Jayhawk Headline" was the theme for the 1967 album by the K-12 education structures said "the Jayhawks can be pictured in newsworthy events from fact to fantasy as they march to victory over the K-12 institution."
DECORATORS IN the 1986 homecompeting competition worked with the decorations theme in the game. The displays were entitled "You can make a show" and "Flash". Don't put your balloons at the Buffaloes' and the "fiekie finger of fate." The over-all of shows was "Kansas Show of Shows."
1986's theme was "A Little Pepper Helps The Buffalo Go Down," the "Pepper" being Rodgers, Kansas Jayhawks football coach. A Jayhawks team had homecoming was the crowding of a black homecoming queen by the Black Student Union.
HOMECOMING DAY 1970 marked a drastic change in traditional homecomings when she was invited not to choose a queen and canceled decorations competition. There was a theme, "KUDO the Toad," which was the governing concept of the weekend.

of those bird watchers have ever proved that anything was ever killed by T. I don't care what the bird you shoot anything, gasoline or chocolate, into a rat it will die.)
Flora said the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service that subsidized the main agriculture "T" in Kansas. The second job of the ASC, he admitted, was to "cut down production to get a
THE ASCS in each county, he said, is in no way connected with the promotion or sale of herbicides.
Flora owns part interest in the ACSS contract in which, K仕契claims, is one of the contractors for the ACSS cost-sharing program in Wabusa.
Flora said, as did other officials, that cattle were not removed when the low-flying airplanes applied in. As added to that, some cattle would graze on a pasture after it had been sprayed.
Dale Gronewald, management agronomist with the Kansas City Farm Bureau, recently that "T," if not precisely applied on a limited basis by hand applicators, "can get away from damage the entire ecosystem."
HE SAID his district was not using "T" because it could be so "environmentally destructive."
Freeman Biery, director of the grassland that the TT was beneficial because, if properly applied, it would not harm plants from grasslands and grazing.
He said that the state used it to remove shrubs along the sides of the road. He added that he shrubs. As a result, he said, "there are more birds in the state than there were before." Birds are hit by cars, so it's beneficial from that point of view.
HE SAID, however, "Invader weedy grasses, weedy shrubs, will come in on some areas because they weren't native at all, they are encouraling hurricanes the strongest man the earth can handle out through of "T" and actually it's an environmental protection."
"If you are going to keep some birds out of an area so you can
grow beef feed that's a decision someone must make. For the people who want every bite, bird food or juicy animal to stay—it just doesn't happen. People must decide what to eat and look at or the food to eat."
PUBLIC RECREATION lands at Tuttle Creek, Pomona and Reservoir recently received "the destruction," the Hutchinson News reported, from 'drift from widespread spraying of the water.'
some Kansas communities take their water supply directly from streams and reservoirs.
Klatske said a farmer applying for federal subsidy to have partial spraying to selected areas in the county. In Kansas counties, forced to sign a contract to have his entire pasture sprayed.
