Mr. Carlson," said Prof. Herbert Hungerford, chairman of the homecoming committee, this morning. "Carlson is an attorney for the K. C. Terminal Railway, president of the Kansas City, Kan., school board, was president of the Kansas City K. U. Alumnae until his last year on the watch server on the victorious Jaywalk team of 1908.
"For the past three weeks he has been coming up here at different times to give his time and counsel and his advice, so he has situations and the problems we will face to face tomorrow better than anyone else we could have picked, and he is a good talker. He is neither boring nor pompous, but the man to lead the final rally."

First Sour Owl of Year Makes Appearance Today
The Sour Owl today made its first appearance on the Hill this year in a number called the Giggle. It was released during the first hour in which it made its appearance, and the committee in charge of the sales, expected the number to exceed 10 million.
Members of the staff who were selling the copies reported that Hobo day interfered to some extent with the sales. Many students, who would have made purchases otherwise, forgot to make money with them to buy an Owl.
Bob Belish, circulation manager, today expressed the belief that many thousands of copies would be sold to tomorrow at the game. Besides the circulation on the Hill, the humor magazine also carried stories in Lawrence and in Kansas City.
The Sour Owl is published under the auspices of the Sigma Delta Chi journalism fraternity.

K.U. Debate Squad of Six Members Chosen by Judges
Regular Team to Enter Contests in Missouri Valley Debate
League
Six members of the debate squad from which the team that will be chosen to take part in the contests in the Missouri Valley Debate League were selected last night from those teams. The question was "是谁 that the United States adopt the Mitchell plan for one department of national defense with three separate divisions for the navy, army, and air defense." There were five affirmative and four negative members. Each算作 given five minutes for constructive battles, and then they gave approximately two minutes to develop one point of his argument. The members of the squad on the affirmative are George Chumson, c27; Donald Coughlin, c1nul, and Marle Longridge, c25. One member of the negative squad is Charles Wolfe, c34; Ruton Kingston, c29; James Hays, c25.
The judges of the debate were Dean P. F. Walker, Proof, A. M. Tolfeffon of the department of political science and Prof. E. C. Bother of the department of speech and dramatic art. Dickinson, Delaware, 120, acted as chairman.
Professor Bubler said there was excellent material in the group. An effort was being made, he said, to promote an interest in debate in the University, and to make it of vital importance.
The affirmative speakers, attacked the present system of handling the air services, as inefficient. This side broached out that this branch of national defense is under the direction of two separate departments, neither of which is sufficiently interest or specialized in this line, and that this administration is responsible for the services would be more efficient, according to the affirmative speakers, if it were developed on one unit.
The negative side contended that the air force is valuable as a means of defense only as an auxiliary force to the army and navy. In order to be efficient, the naval and the military divisions of this branch should be directed to one another in direction of the two major departments with which they work, said the speakers of the defenses. An example was given of the English system, where a separate department of the air service is in operation. It was brought out that England and found it necessary that the air forces be the new department.
Another trump detain for membership in the squad will be held Dec. 2 according to an announcement given last night.
Habe day brought many laughs from the album as they passed through the campus. It was impossible to drive a car in front of Robinson aggrissim as the constant rallies that were held there all times during the day had the traffic blocked.

Costumed Hobo Gang
Spends Riotous Time
in Pep Distillation
Board of Regents Guests a Morning Convocation; Winners Named
A motley gang of clutter-up-contumed students, ranging wildly over the campus, at times attending classes, photographers scouting here and others in their lenses—then may the famous Hobe day be reummed up. A morning of riotous fun in preparation for a blood-thirst battle on the mornow with anticipation of a taste of Tiger University's new conservation at 12:00.
Then Chancellor Lindley introduced the new Board of Regents to the crowd, which cheered wildly the sentiments of the audience. Sandy Winsor, our famous old cheer-leader of bygone days, then took the floor and kept it up for the next 20 minutes, bringing forth cheer with his pipestimulating remarks.
The best K. U, buhos were then announced by the judges, who made their selection purely on the basis of what would constitute the best bob costume, rather than a funny costume, as a good portion of the costumes were. The best pair was Duncan McKeever and Jannie Crooker, the second pair being both individual bobos were Ann Botsford, Lawrence, Gloria Cairns, Vermilion, Kans, and Gillis A. Eslinger, Kansas City, Mo.
THE STORY THAT NEVER GROWS OLD
One of the best features was the reading of a message from the K. U. football squad by Babe Smith, captain. It left the students with the feeling that regardless of the Missouri Tiger's feelings, the K. U. team would sweep them off their feet, with the goal that they will be in the stands tomorrow afternoon with only one idea — "We are going to win. Beat Mizzou!"
the winners had their pictures taken by Duke D'Ambra, Jayhawk photographer, the pictures to appear in a magazine, and Jayhawk Judges were Miss Hazelett Richardson of the Spanish department, J. W. Sterberon associate professor of economics, and Am Lauk representing the Jayhawk staff.
We're going to celebrate Saturday night. Beat Mizzou.
DINNER FOR BOARD OF REGENTS IN MASONIC TEMPLE ATTENDED BY 425 HILL AND TOWNSPEOPLE
Large Dining Hall Is Filled to Capacity as Lawrence Greets Visitors; Administration of Business Is Promised University by Evans, Speaking for Chairman
K. U. Seal and Jayhawk Decorate All Equipment
A mingling of "town and gown" in a close spirit of fellowship characterized the dinner in tribute to the Kansas Board of Regents at the Masonic temple Thursday night. Four hundred and twenty-five people, representing Lawrence business men, University faculty members and students, and townspeople interested in the welfare of K.U., filled the large dining hall to capacity.
Dorines, calendars, pennants, slickers, stationery, bookkinds, and bracelets—all these and more are the articles which have fallen prey to the popular "tail" of being decorated with the painted figure of the Jayhawk.
And now comes the crimson and blue blanket with a "sauce" looking Jayhawk and the words "Rock Chalk, Jayhawk, K. U." woven into the scribes. They are just the thing for the boy who's cold winter day, their hoooves say.
And perhaps they are. Certainly it is nice to have K. U. remembrances or trophies, but it just makes one wonder what will be next. Probably college textbooks and letters from the side or shoes with the letters K. U. engraved on the toes!
Alpha Delta Sigma Meets
Henry B. McCurdy Lectures on Advertising
Henry B. McCurdy, A. B. 21 asked to the members of Curda Delta Sigma, honorary advertising fraternity, last night at Fraser Hall. There were a few guests of the fraternity at the meeting.
Mr. McCury, who was on the advertizing force of the Nation after leaving the University, gave the men some information on magazine advertising, and described his experiences, soliciting advertisement in New York newspapers, and enlisting the college in the west to go east if an opportunity is obtainable.
Some of the difficulties of a young man in advertising were explained by Mr. McCurdy. Some of these difficulties can be avoided, he said, by getting a more adequate training while in college. At the end of his talk, he answered questions that differed from the procedure in obtaining a position and making good on any advertising staff.
Mr. McCurty was business manager of the Kansan during his senior year in the University, and majored in adminstration. He managed the Book Nook down town.
The program for this year's entertainment for welcoming the Olde Graduate include more events than any previous years. Changes have been made from the various difficulties the homecoming committees have encountered.
The first member of the Old Tims' band to report for duty Friday morning was Claremie Gaus, of Caney, Mr. Gaus played in the band during the years '08, '09, '10. This is his first visit to the finnish after a decade in the U.S., and he was certainly glad to come back and help twist the Tiger's tail.

"Education was one of the first concerns of the early settlers of Lawrence," it was stated by Robert C. Rankin, president of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, in his address to a joint session of the great concern. What we, as business men, most desire is that Lawrence shall be a place of culture and learning rather than a commercial or industrial center. We are working for the interests of the University to the best of our ability, and we have faith in the Board of Trustees and the administrative officers of K. U."
Members of Board Introduced
The members of the board were introduced by the toastmaster, with a brief sketch of the most important works of each.
Mrs. J. S. Patrick, Satanta, an author, a civil leader, and the only president of the Chamber of Commerce and the assembled citizens for the welcome given her and the other board members, was president of the Kansas Authors club.
"The policy of the board is to give Kansas schools an administration of business, divorced from politics." It was explained by Earl W. Evans, president of the university's vice president, who is acting as chief spokesman in the absence of W. Y. Morgan, the chairman. "We have all had some experience in big business, and we intend to regulate the universities, and we would also build a business enterprise of our own."
Talks of appreciation on the tribute paid them were given by C. B. Merriam, Topka banker, and Charles M. Magazine writer and editor, of Ableness.
Chancellor Speaks
The Chancellor, speaking on the topic, "Town and Gown," contrasted the relationship between the University and its city in olden days with the modernity of our campus. Here was strong antagonism between the two, he stated, "Today present a marked contrast, however, as exemplified by the spirit of fellowship shown here tonight." Lawrence citizen, we are proud to say, do support the university, and that membership is generally present in all university and college towns."
The University Women's Glee Club, under the direction of Agnes Hoadland, dean of women, sang two selections; an act by Linda Nielsen, preceeding the Chancellor's address.
As the closing number of the evening, Dean D. M. Searhout led the audience in "The Crimson and the Yellow." The performance was "Rock, Challah, Jay Hawk, K. U.'ll yell
