Dear Folks: They Say 32,000 Alumni Will Crowd Campus
Dear Folks.
It's going to be a busy weekend around here. This is Homecoming. We play Nebraska tomorrow and it ought to be a real good game. KU is trying for its third straight victory.
They say about 32,000 alumni and other visitors will be on the campus today and tomorrow. What a mess, with all those people running around this old hill.
I've got to hurry now, because I'm late for the freshman football game with Missouri. It started at 3 this afternoon. Tonight we're going to drive around and see the house decorations. Almost every organized house or ball has a display.
Tonight is the basketball game between the freshman team and the varsity. I just wonder how they will do without Wilt.
After the game there will be a showing of "The King and I," but just alumni can go tonight. We'll get to see it next week.
Seems like everybody is having a reception for old grads tomorrow. The engineers will have one in the Union during the morning. There's a general alumni reception at the same time.
The lawyers are going to have an open house and buffet lunch before
the game. People who haven't seen the campus can go on a sight-seeing bus tour at 9 tomorrow morning.
I'm going to try to make it up to the Union at 11 in the morning to see the movies of the Kansas State game.
They'll have the regular buffet lunch in the Union until 1 o'clock, but there will be a special Homecoming program, including presentation of the queen.
The Homecoming queen is Susie Kastner from Salina. She's a real doll. The two attendants are Marcia Hall of Coffeeville and Carol Duncan from Kansas City.
Chancellor Murphy and Governor Docking will be at the game and take part in the halftime ceremonies. There will be a big card display and the pep section students will be wearing red and white sweaters. I'd sure like to see it from the other side.
The KU football team from 1008, 50 years ago, will be at the game. That was the last season KU had an undefeated and untied team.

The big dance is tomorrow night in the Union Ballroom. Of course I'm going with Linda. Tommy Dorsey's orchestra is playing.
Saturday Morning 9-12
Like I said, it's going to be a busy weekend, so I'd better get started. I'm off to the freshman football game now, and I don't suppose I'll get much rest until Sunday.
Your son,

How to Avoid Thefts
Capt. Willard Anderson of the Campus Police has made a list of suggestions for keeping the number of thefts down over Homecoming weekend.
Capt. Anderson said thefts usually occur on big weekends when a lot of guests visit the campus.
"In most cases, students have made it too easy for thieves," Capt. Anderson said. "We believe many of the thieves are students themselves. If students would practice the following rules, thievery would not be so easy."
Capt. Anderson's rules are:
1. Do not keep large amounts of money in rooms.
2. Write down serial numbers of bills that will be kept for any length of time. Also write down typewriter serial numbers.
3 Make sure all strangers in your house have a right to be there.
4. Take down license numbers of strange cars you see around your house late at night.
5. Keep money in small metal boxes with locks. Carry keys at all times.
6. Leave hall lights on all night.
Most thieves do not like to work in the light.
7. If possible, keep all lower windows and back doors locked. Leave lights on in back of buildings.

"Good grief,
I dropped the Camels!"
More adventurers on the wing smoke Camels than any other cigarette today. It stands to reason: the best tobacco makes the best smoke. The Camel blend of costly tobaccos has never been equalled for rich flavor and easygoing mildness. Year in and year out, Camel leads every other cigarette in sales.
Don't fool around with fads and fancy stuff...
Have a real cigarette have a CAMEL
