"We get some of the best films of all countries and languages in order to become acquainted with the cinema of those countries," Mr. Nichols said. "It's important to see what countries can do more than Hollywood. The film series is a laboratory for language students. There will be English titles, but there is no substitute for the native language."

"Stand Up and Cheer" - played and sung as the team makes its appearance prior to the start of both halves.
"Crimson and the Blue" - played and sung as soon as officials complete the coin flipping before opening kickoff, followed by Rock Chalk chant.
Other songs to be used throughout the game at the discretion of Prof. Wiley and the cheerleaders will be the "Kansas Song," Jayhawk Song," and the "Sunflower Song."
"Onward Kansas" - played as the teams change goals between the first and second quarters and between the third and fourth quarters.

Pre-Game Rally Tonight Features Parade,Team
Saturday is the day as the Horned Frogs of TCU invade Lawrence for the opening game of the 1956 football season. But KU students don't have to wait until Saturday to get into the mood of "game" day.
A bon fire, pep rally, and dancing will start pre-game activities tonight.
The annual Nightshirt Parade will begin at 7:15 in front of Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall. From there, the parade will proceed to the chancellor's home, and then move to the baseball diamond, south of the stadium.
Leading the parade will be the KU band, followed by convertibles carrying University officials. The mass of the parade will be led by cheerleaders, assisted by the KuKus and Jay Janes.
The KuKus are in charge of building the bonfire and members of the pep organization plan to post guards at the site just in case fun-seeking students try to ignite the wood pile too early.
After the parade reaches the baseball diamond, an organized pep rally will be led by cheerleaders. Then Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy will speak. Coach Chuck Mather will introduce the entire Jayhawk football team.
Activities will end with free refreshments in the Student Union, and dancing in the ballroom. Harry Winters and his band will play. Refreshments are being donated by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.

Automobile Plays Housebreaker
Members of the Phi Beta Phi sorority, 1246 Mississippi St., received an unexpected break in their study period Thursday night when an unoccupied car struck the east wall of the house.
The accident began innocently enough but picked up momentum. Robert Elliott, Wichita senior and a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity, 1621 Edgewood Rd., bumped a car owned by Patricia Dennis, El Reno, Oklahoma sophomore, which was parked next to the West 13th Street curb.
Miss Dennis' car rolled down the hill and hit a parked car. The owner of this car has not yet been determined by the Traffic Office. The unidentified car jumped the Mississippi Street curb, rolled across a basement stairwell, and crashed into the sorority house.
Damage to the Dennis automobile is estimated at about $25. Damage to the unidentified car and to the sorority house is undetermined.
