Halloween Party Set By International Club
Foreign students will be acquainted with The Day of the Big Pumpkin — alias Halloween — at a party sponsored by the International Club at 9 p.m. Friday in the Big Eight Room of the Kansas Union.
Luis Mayor, Havana, Cuba, junior and vice president of the club, said that the room would be decorated with jack-o-lanterns and other Halloween symbols.
A POLL of six women foreign students in Lewis Hall showed that none had celebrations in October similar to Halloween.
"We have a similar celebration. It is called 'Bar Bara' in Arabic." Salwa Haddad, Brummana, Lebanon, graduate student said. "It occurs in November. The boys and girls, dressed in frightening costumes (dog and goat masks), go in groups carrying sticks and visit people at night. They sing songs if they are admitted to the house after knocking on the door. The children usually receive pastry filled with almonds and sugar."
KAZUMI VECHI, Naha City, Okinawa, special undergraduate student,
said that October was the Month o No Gods in her country. The only festival is a type of athletic meet in the schools, Miss Vechi continued. The parents, brothers, sisters, and guests bring their lunch and stay all day to watch the children race and dance, she said.
Tabolee Darbie, Monrovia, Liberia, senior said, "No, we don't have this celebration in Liberia. But in Timbuktu, where I used to live, they have a celebration similar to this in August. The people chase the evil spirits back to the rural areas."
LILIANE CHATIGNOUX, Paris, France, graduate student, said that the only celebration in France was November 1. But, this is a day of mourning for the dead, she said.
Mahin Omidvaran, Tehran, Iran, freshman, said, "Before winter, we have a day when we eat the grapes and melons from summer. It is private, just in the family."
Alice Kalayan, Beriut, Lebanon, graduate student, said that they had Halloween. Children go around and make money singing a special song she said.
Rock Chalk's Expense Account Gets Increase
Organizations whose skits are chosen for presentation at the forthcoming Rock Chalk Revue will receive $20 more this year than was appropriated last year for expenses.
Rock Chalk players will receive a $100 expense account this year said Dale R. McKemey, Downs senior and business manager of the Rock Chalk Reuse.
The increase was appropriated so that each group could completely cover the expenses of costumes, scenery, make-up and props, he said.
The Rock Chalk Revue begins its work with a $300 loan from the KU-Y. The groups will purchase needed items with their own funds and will be reimbursed $100 regardless of what they spend, he said.
The money received from ticket sales will be used to cover the expenses of the show, and the balance will go to the KU-Y, McKemey said.
Subjects of all scripts are due in the KU-Y office no later than Nov. 11. The complete scripts are due Dec. 16. Miss Olsen said.
This year's Revue will have a theme to unite the entire program in a common idea and give it continuity, said Naomi Olsen, Hinsdale, Ill., sophomore and member of the publicity committee.
Tryouts for master of ceremonies will be held at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 9, in Fraser Theater. Tryouts are open to both men and women. Students interested in the position should prepare a 5 to 10 minute act, speech, introduction or joke portraying what a good master of ceremonies should be, she said.

Executive director, Rebecca A. Myers, Salina junior; house director, James R. Scholten, Salina junior; continuity directors, E. Karen Carrett, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore and Mark L. Knapp, Kansas City, Mo., junior; technical director,
