Homecoming Varsity Smashed All Records, Says Dance Manager
Ticket Quota Sold Before Ten Line Formed From Entrance to Sidewalk
"The Homecoming variety of last Saturday was the biggest financial success of any variety dance ever given under the national stage, said Vernon Kenney, manager of the Dance vannes for the Men's Student Council this morning. "It 10:30 there were 170 adults and 85 children attended free," he added.
A crowd of this size is without precedent in the history of the Varsity dances. Only three hundred ticked kickers joined in a bid to force the ticket seller was forced to sell the same tickets several times. A line reaching from the second floor of Robinson Gymnasium to the sidewalk in front was formed by 9:30, and those wishing to dance were forced to get into a dance hall before they could buy tickets.' All members of the Nebraska football team and all members of the Nebraska band were admitted free of charge, so with those who were admitted free after 10:50 it would be a jonny jones. They were over a thousand chippies, in all, at the dance," added Kenny.
According to many who attend, the Varsity, it was a huge success socially, with the passioce exception that it was too crowded. However the majority agreed that the "peep" in the crowd and the excellent music more than enough to make overlook the crowded condition of the floor.
According to Kenney, one of the best orchestras that ever played a variety was used in the Homecoming varisty of last Saturday. Shoafstal's 12-piece "hand" was officiating as synaphores and from all indications they turned out some "tepid tunes". The interior of the gymnasium was decorated by Weavers at a cost of one hundred dollars. Kansas and Nebraska colors were worn, and make huge paper globes, brilliantly lighted inside, were hung on gargoyles, which were placed at intervals along the edge of the balcony. Diffused lighting was used throughout.

Niles, Ohio, Oct. 27—Predicting an outbreak between the Ku Kluan Klan and the Knights of the Flaming Circle, mid-kilman organization, Mayor Jerry Akron, Youngstown and Warren to send all available members of the police department to Niles next Saturday scheduled to stage a masked parade.

Greatest Problem Leadership, Says Dr. Cameron Beck
Four Fundamentals in Life,
Says Personnel Head
of N. Y. Stock
Exchange
"Four things I think must be fundamental if our lives are to approximate what God and society have a right to expect them to be: a plan for our life work, a life purpose, a vision for our future, a reason for righteousness," said Cannon Beck, personnel director of the New York Stock Exchange. In his address, "The Cost of Leadership" given at convocation this morning.
"The greatest problem of democratically controlled governments in the world is that they do not live," he said. "In all the worthwhile things of America must be invested the life blood of the younger generation. National greatness does not rest upon the amount of money Wall Street nor on the amount of opportunities offered to the people and their leaders.
Youth Seeks Easy Path
Yet, many young people come from the colleges and universities to New York, looking for a tree to curl up under a map, while somebody shakes golden dollars from their bank account every eight years on the stock exchange. I have never found such a tree. Moses answered God's call to leadership promptly, but God would have to shout his head off to find the so-called 'worthy citizen' nowadays.
"Sad will be the day for all of us when our thanks for the sacrifices of others is not translated into deeds," Mr. Beck declared after calling attention to the privations and defenders of the nation.
"Aggressive fighting for the right is the greatest sport of civilization," he continued. "The time has come, when the business man must get his business back on the basis of the ten commandments." The man or woman who tampers with truth is al-ready on the downhill road.
Leader Must/Pay Price —
"You don't want to be a leader un-
less you are willing to pay the price."
The men who have done the great
things in life are the men who have
buried themselves in their work.
"There is only one dirty job on
God's earth—the one which ditches
a man's soul."
"There is too much talking and not
"There is too much talking and not enough thinking being done in America today."
"not one, to my knowledge, have the big men of the country refused counsel to the young people who come to them.
"I summon you not, to any oily road, but to the road of service—the road of Lincoln, Washington, and the chews," he said in conclusion.
The speaker was introduced by William L. Purkiss, vice-president of the University, who called attention to the fact that Mr. Beck has lectured several times before in Lawrence, at meetings of classes in economics in the University, and once in the Lawrence High School.
