TOUGH LUCK, MR. JAYHAWKER—The Iowa State Cyclone (on left) extends his sympathy to the Kansas Jayhawker, but can't resist a smile at the same time, as the Cyclone football team makes a shambles of the Jayhawker squad in a Big Eight game Saturday which Iowa State won, 21-6.
Period Costumes On Display Good Only For Studying
The 1914 blue silk moire dress, now on exhibit in the display case in the Music and Dramatic Arts Building, is one of the 35 period costumes the dramatics department has in its historical collection.
The dresses, some of which date back to 1860, are used to study fabrics, patterns and details of the costume of a particular period. Most of the costumes are too drab and fragile to be worn on stage.
The period costumes must look fresh to be accepted by the audience. Many of the authentic costumes would appear out of place to the audience. Therefore, the costume department must design dresses with the same silhouette of the period, but in brighter colors and with exaggerated details.
Sleepwalker Into Chimney
LYONS, France — (UF) — Raymond Revelin-Falceo, 33, told firemen who extracted him from the foot of an 8-story chimney in his apartment house Sunday that he fell into the chimney while sleepwalking on the roof.
The British crown formed the Dominion of New England by royal order in 1684 in order to have greater control over the colonies. It consisted of the New England colonies, New York and the Jerseyts.

Most of the dresses in the collection have waists of 18 to 21 inches which were made for small persons. This has presented the problem of getting manikins with the proper proportions to model the dresses. To get the high buttoned shoes on the manikin now on display, the toes had to be cut off.
The costume department is planning to enlarge its wardrobe to cover all periods that could be needed in plays. After the play "Henry IV," 85 costumes will be added to the stage collections. This will create a storage problem since the costumes include armor, swords and helmets.
The department makes all of its own wigs, armor and many of its shoes. Masks for plays have been designed by Herbert Camburn, instructor of speech and dramatics.

Judge Temporarily Stops Hoffa
WASHINGTON - (UP) - A federal judge today temporarily barred James R. Hoffa and other newly elected officers of the Teamsters Union from taking office.
Mr. Hoffa was elected president of the union to succeed Dave Beck at the recent Teamsters Convention in Miami Beach, Fla.
Federal Judge F. Dickinson Letts signed a temporary restraining order, in effect suspending the convention's decision and set Monday, Oct. 21 for a hearing. He ordered Hoffa to show cause why he should not be prevented from taking office.
A temporary restraining order normally expires in 10 days.
The judge acted on a plea by 13
Kasper Jail Term Sticks
Rejection of Kasper's appeal means he must serve the one-year in prison meted out by a Federal District Court in Tennessee which found him guilty of criminal contempt. Kasper has been free on $10,000 bond pending high court action on his appeal.
WASHINGTON — (UP) The Supreme Court today refused to review the one-year jail sentence imposed on segregationist John Kasper for interfering with integration of the Clinton, Tenn., high school last year.
Kasper has been in trouble with the law several times for his far-ranging efforts to stir up opposition to court orders for integration of southern schools. He was convicted of contempt for a speech which he delivered before a crowd of about 1,000 persons in riot-torn Clinton, after a Federal District Court had issued a blanket order forbidding any activities interfering with integration of the Clinton High School.
Knowland Criticizes U.S. Missiles Plan
WASHINGTON —(UP)— Sen. William Knowland (R-Calif.) says this country might have won the satellite race if money spent in previous years on foreign aid had been channeled into the satellite and missiles program.
Referring to money spent by this and previous administrations in supplying military equipment to such countries as Yugoslavia, Sen. Knowland said that Congress at its next session should reappraise the foreign aid program.

rank-and-file Teamsters who charged that 80 per cent of the convention delegates were illegally selected to insure victory for Mr. Hoffa and his slate.
The union made sweeping changes in its constitution at the meeting.
Judge Letts ordered the Teamsters to show cause why other proceedings at the convention as well as the election, should not be declared void.
He agreed that the rank-und-file group stood little chance of accomplishing anything by "intra-union remedies." He said there was danger that the union would suffer "continuing disgrace" because of domination by corrupt officials.
Ike And McElroy Meet, Probably Discuss Missiles
WASHINGTON — (UP) — President Eisenhower conferred privately for about an hour today with his new defense secretary, Neil H. McElroy.
Mr. McEllroy said they discussed "various Defense Department questions." He refused to say whether a speedup in the U. S. missiles program was one of the topics, as many observers guessed.
It was McElroy's second trip to the White House since he succeeded Charles E. Wilson as defense secretary last week. The meetings strengthened speculation that the administration is reappraising this country's progress in the missile-space race in the harsh new light of Russia's artificial moon.
Meanwhile Senate Democratic Whip Mike Mansfield (D-Mont) promised an investigation of charges that the Army was prevented from
