Docking Fans Loyal To End
Cold weather did not deter Democrats from lining Massachusetts Street to welcome George Docking, Democratic gubernatorial candidate at a torchlight parade staged in his honor Wednesday night.
A donkey, the party symbol laden with "Docking for Governor" signs, led the parade followed by Mr. and Mrs. Docking who rode in a convertible driven by their son Robert Docking, Douglas County Democratic chairman. Torches carried by members of Delta Tau Delta fraternity, to which Mr. Docking belongs, lighted the way for Democratic candidates for county offices who also rode in convertibles. After the parade a rally was held in the Community Building.

Full Schedule For Homecoming
Homecoming week is here, and alumni and guests soon will be pouring onto the campus, craning their necks from car windows to see decorations and eagerly hoping to watch the Jayhawkers trounce the Cornhuskers.
'Queen Susie Faces Big Week
TV appearances, personal interviews, telephone calls, and four hour exams—these events will highlight the week of Susie Stout, Wichita sophomore, who was announced as the 1956 Homecoming Queen at a pep rally at 12:45 p. m. Monday before approximately 250 people.
"I had no inklng at all that I had been chosen," said the 57"brunette. The announcement was made by Jim Bickley, Kansas City, Mo., senior, after Marge Mahoney Dusay, the 1955 Queen, escorted by George F. Jenks, associate professor of geology, brought the new queen's identity to him in a sealed envelope.
When asked her opinion of the new system of announcing her identity, Susie replied, "It's a very great honor to be queen all week. It is to the queen's advantage and it is much more of a surprise!"
At 6:15 p. m. Wednesday, Miss Stout and her attendants Sandra Muntzel, Prairie Village sophomore, and Nancy Squyres, Wakeeen senior, will be guests of Bruce Rice, sports commentator, on KCMO-TV.
At 10:45 p. m, the same day,
they will appear on WDAF-TV's
sports broadcast narrated by Owen
Bush. Appearances may also be
made on KMBC and WIBW tele-
vision stations.
On Friday the queen and her attendants dressed in formals, will reign at the Jayhawk Follies and the Freshman-Varsity basketball game. The queen will wear a black wool tailored suit with a red chiffon scarf for her presentation and crowding at halftime ceremonies Saturday.
Now the only worries in Susie's reign are the three hour exams she had today and the one that is scheduled for Saturday. "It was a little difficult to concentrate last night," she said.
Weather
TOPEKA—(UP)—Kansas election day weather arrived clear and mild with fair weather expected to prevail through Wednesday.
The weatherman said not a single precinct would have rain through Wednesday, while temperatures would range from the mild 60s in the east to readings of 45-50 in the northwest.
Frankie Carle's Band To Play For Homecoming Dance
"The golden touch" of Frankie Carle will provide the music for the annual Homecoming Dance to be held from 8 p.m. until midnight Saturday in the Student Union Ballroom. Tickets are on sale for $2 a couple at the information booth and in the Union.
People worried about not having a place to sit at the dance are assured by George Blackburn, Joplin, Mo., senior and chairman of the dance that there will be plenty of room. Space in the Jayhawk Room and in the Ball room proper has not been reserved.
Mr. Carle, who in his earlier years wanted only to become a prize fighter, has sold over 75 million records in the last 10 years. Most of his
success is due to his style of "playing to the people." His simple arrangements outself those of any other pop pianist by 2-1.
Mr. Carle is also known as a composer. He wrote his own theme, "Sunrise Serenade," as well as other hits such as "Falling Leaves."
His climb to success began with Horace Heidt who was so anxious to get his contract that he included 100% billing, a home and a kitchen sink.
He started his own band in 1943 and has since become one of the top hotel and theater orchestras in the nation. At present he has his own show on NBC-TV.
Alumni will have a chance to meet Homecoming Queen, Susie Stout, Wichita sophomore, and her attendants, Nancy Squyres, Wakeeney senior, and Sandra Muntzel, Prairie Village sophomore, when they attend the Saturday alumni reception and the football buffet in the Student Union.
The queen and her attendants will be crowned following the Varsity-Freshman basketball game in Allen Field House Friday. The official coronation by Gov. Fred Hall will be during half-time ceremonies at the football game Saturday.
The Jayhawk Follies will present the Jayhawk Jamboree, the K.U. group which toured Europe and North Africa this summer for the USO. Tickets for both the Varsity-Freshman game and the Follies will be 50 cents.
House decorations will be judged both during the day and at night for the first time.
"In past years houses whose decorations were more effective either during the day or at night have felt discriminated against if they were not judged when they appeared at their best advantage," said Robert E. Beer, general chairman of Home-coming.
"By judging both times we hope to eliminate this problem."
42 Houses Entered
HOUSES
"So fast 42 houses have turned in song titles for the theme, 'Songs for Victory' and sketches of their decorations," said Denmar A. Cope, chairman of the house decoration committee. Houses must register their decoration themes at 226 Lindley.
Decorations will be judged on originality, reflection of the spirit of Homecoming and over-all impression. Winners will be announced at half-time Saturday.
Crown On Display
The queen's crown is on display in the main lobby of the Student Union near the northeast door. After Homecoming, her crown, cape and picture will be kept in the Student Union Trophy Room until next year. A special Homecoming program has been planned by the School of Engineering and Architecture. About 3,000 invitations have been sent to alumni of the school and of Theta Tau, engineering fraternity.
