THIS IS THE FRONT-A blue K on a red breastplate will identify members of the KU Marching Band at the second home game. A blue feather plume has replaced the white one on the cadet hat.
AND THIS IS THE BACK—A reversible and detachable cap features a red and blue Jayhawk. Dick Wintermote, chairman of the KU committee on athletic pageantry, models the refurbished uniform.
Pageantry Committee Plans Colorful Football Shows
Student spirit at KU may hit a new high this year. Enthusiasm within the student body, particularly for athletic events, is again on the upsurge.
The Committee on Athletic Pageantry has done much to further the student vivaciousness by adding color and integrity to the student participation in athletic events.
The pep clubs have new uniforms this year to brighten up the looks of the cheering sections. The student body has been asked to wear white blouses and shirts to the games to set off the large red "K" formed by the pep organizations. Only those wearing white may sit between the 23-ward lines.
New Loudspeakers
Four new speakers have been installed in the student section to facilitate communication between the cheerleaders and the students. With the white-shirted student body outlining the pep clubs, the card sections will be brilliantly offset. New card tricks will be used this year.
New uniforms will be worn by the women cheerleaders. For the
Templin Hall Robbed of $100
Templin Hall was robbed of $100 early yesterday morning.
The robbery was discovered yesterday afternoon and a check of all residents showed that six men had currency taken from billfolds left in drawers and closets.
Campus police were notified and are investigating the thefts.
benefit of the men, the girls' skirts will be knee length. They will wear blue jerkins during the warm weather, reverting to the former red sweaters during the cool parts of the season.
The cheerleaders have been taking tumbling lessons to add even more spice to the cheering sections. The pep sections that have not received new uniforms this year will receive them next fall.
The KU marching band is planning to expand to 125 members this year. The band, under the direction of Kenneth Bloomquist, new assistant band director in charge of half time programs, has many new tricks to show the students.
Band Expanded
The band, too, will have new uniforms by the second home game. The uniforms will be set off by colorful capes, breast plates and plumes.
Many new band instruments have been ordered and are expected to arrive during the football season. Among them are four herald's trumpets—the long narrow kind that are seen in movies of medieval times. The trumpeters will each carry a large KU banner, and lead the marching band.
The band will also be sporting a new drum section large enough to be a separate drum corps. It will include eight tenor, two bass and eight snare drums. These drums are expected to arrive in the middle of the football season.
There is one more uniform to add to the lot. The Jayhawk is receiving a new suit this year. It will be completed by the second home game The old one will be used for the first game.
All this adds up to a new surge of excitement on the part of the students to back Coach Mitchell and the 1558 football team. Everyone is anxious to see what is in store for the football season, and the student body is taking on the "new look" in anticipation of it.

ASC Begins Year's Work
Committee appointments, two proposed amendments to the All Student Council constitution, the possibility of a "white shirt" section inside the student area at Memorial Stadium Saturday and a new student health program were the principal subjects brought up at the first regular meeting of the ASC last night in the Kansas Union.
Richard D. Lewis, Kansas City, Kan. senior and member of the Elections Committee, presented the two amendments to the council for consideration. One of the amendments stipulated that a candidate for president or vicepresident of the student body be required to have the equivalent of one semester's service on the ASC at the time of the election
The constitution now reads that a student must have served at least one full school year to be eligible for the presidency or vice-presidency.
William Fricke, Jefferson City, Mo. senior and member of the student athletic seating board, gave a progress report on a plan to have an area within the student seating section at Memorial Stadium restricted to students wearing white shirts.
Fricke pointed out that the seating plan would make the cheering section at the stadium more colorful. Intentions are to have the Red Peppers sit in this section in the form of a red K to contrast the background of white shirts.
The restricted section would extend from the 23-yard line in the north end of the stadium to the 23-yard line in the south. All students not wearing white shirts would sit in the space left at both ends of the restricted section.
The other amendment outlines the procedure for a student who wishes to satisfy the ASC service requirement and become a candidate. This amendment would require the student to submit in writing to the ASC secretary not later than the first regularly scheduled ASC meeting in December his wish to run for office.
The student then must attend regular ASC meetings and be available for committee work until the last meeting before filing deadline for the spring primary election.
The chairman of the Elections Committee would then submit a motion to the council that the student not be considered eligible for the candidacy. If the motion does not pass by a three-fourths majority, the student would be considered eligible and could go through regular nomination and election procedures.
The Student Health Committee is studying eight health insurance programs designed for students, John Downing, Kansas City, Mo., senior and student body president, reported. He said that the committee would decide upon one of the plans within the next few weeks. The usual hospital, surgery, doctor and drug benefits would be in the plan, he said, but the details would not be known until one of the plans is chosen. He estimated the cost to the student as between $10 and $15 a semester. If accepted, the new insurance would not be mandatory, he said.
