THEY SET THE AIR—A group of freshman women, representing the SUA carnival, are dressing as clowns this week to advertise the carnival. They are also visiting organized houses
to give students an insight of Saturday's event. As part of the promotion, some lucky onlookers will receive balloons and lollipops from the clowns.

However, the SUA Carnival hasn't always been the big event it will be this weekend. The first carnival was held in Robinson Gymnasium in 1920. It was attended by over 1,500 persons. The theme was "patriotism." The country was then in the midst of the loyalty movement, and the booths and stunts were all examples of it.
Through the years the Carnival has been shifted from building to building. In 1930 it was moved from Robinson Gymnasium to the Union.
In 1931 the booths were in the stadium and the stunts held in Fraser theater.
There was no carnival in 1932 due to financial difficulties and lack of space. Another reason was the lack of support by the administration due to the "introduction of vulgarity and burlesque into performances by various organizations."
In 1935 the booths and stunts, combined with an intramural tourney, were held in the stadium. After 1935 the carnival was discontinued until 1940. That year the Student Union Activities and the YWCA joined forces and presented it in Hoch Auditorium.
In 1944 the carnival was moved to the Military Science Building and was held there until 1953, when SUA held the carnival in the Union.
In 1953 the houses participating in the carnival were limited in expense to $25 per booth in order to prevent extravagant competition. Also, instead of the Little Man on Campus and Carnival Queen contests, Worthal and his Pin-Up Girl were elected to reign over the evening events.
This year the SUA has planned the biggest carnival ever. It will be held in the Kansas Union Saturday night and will utilize not only the Ballroom, but many of the rooms on the first and third floors. Events will open at 6 p.m. and continue until 11 p.m. The crowning of the SUA Carnival Queen and LMOC will highlight the evening.
The Board of Regents consists of 9 members appointed by the governor.
The University has offered summer courses each summer since 1903.

Cheerless leader
Not a "rah rah" left in him! He's just discovered there's no more Coke. And a cheer leader without Coke is as sad as a soap opera. To put the sparkle back in his eye—somebody!—bring him a sparkling cold Coca-Cola!
