These tickets will admit parents to the student section of the stadium and may be bought Saturday at the registration desks.
During the morning all schools, departments and divisions will be open and faculty and staff members will be present so parents can see the campus and talk with teachers.
Open To Visitors
Bronze and gold mums can be ordered by students at any organized house. Representatives of the KU-Y, which is sponsoring the mum sale, will take orders until noon Tuesday.
Watkins Memorial Hospital, Allen Field House, Watson Library, the museums, the computation center, the Guidance Bureau, Student Union, speech clinic and Danforth Chapel will be open to visitors.
The mums will be delivered to the organized houses by 10 a.m. Saturday.
Parents of students living in organized houses may have lunch in these houses. Lunch also will be served in the Student Union Cafeteria and Ballroom.
Registration desks will be situated at the Student Union, the Art Museum, the information booth on Jayhawk Boulevard, Strong, North College, Corbin, Carnuth-O'Lcary, Gertrude Sellars Pearson halls and at the east side of the stadium.

8 Boys Admit LHS Damage
Lawrence Police Chief William Cox said Friday afternoon that eight Topeka High school boys, all over 16 years of age, have admitted to Lawrence and Topeka officers they were engaged in painting the Lawrence High School building.
This marked the second time the building has been damaged by Topeka students. The first damage occurred before the game here two years ago.
The Lawrence School Board will meet tonight to decide if a complaint will be filled. Police action cannot be taken unless a complaint is registered.
The enthusiasm causing the vandalism preceded Saturday night's Lawrence-Topeka High game in Haskell Stadium.
The damage to the school has not been estimated. It is expected to be high.
Engineers Explode Softball At Picnic
Engineers exploded the first softball of the year at the American Institute of Radio and Electrical Engineers picnic Saturday at Clinton Park.
The engineers had knocked the cover off the ball during the game, but continued to use it. But when Kenneth E. Steiner, Independence, Mo., senior hit the ball, it flew into little pieces and put a stop to the game.

THE FACE IS THE SAME—Eldon C. Teft, assistant professor of design, poses beside a sculptured likeness of his head which is one of the pieces in the Sculpture Club display in front of Flint Hall. The head was done by Mrs. Dorothea E. Dalton, a 1953 graduate and first president of the club. It is of cast plaster and took Mrs. Dalton about three-fourths of a semester to complete.
KU Sculpture Shown
An outdoor exhibit sponsored by the Sculpture Club was set up on the front lawn of Flint Hall early this morning.
Two additional pieces expected to arrive today will complete the 30-piece exhibit which will be shown through Tuesday.
"The exhibit includes work done by persons who have never done sculpture work before." Elden Tefft, assistant professor of design and faculty adviser of the club, said
The purpose of the exhibit is not only to let people see sculpture but to encourage them to do sculpture work.
Carlos Frey, Liberal junior, president of the club, and Bob Endres. Wichita senior, were in charge of the display.
Materials represented in the exhibit are ceramics, cast bronze, cast plaster, direct steel, direct concrete, direct plaster, marble, limestone, Philippine mahogany, cocobolo wood and walnut.
Most of the pieces are mounted on concrete block and brick structures. One mobile is suspended from a tree branch.
The exhibit area was crowded today with students and faculty members craning their necks to get a better perspective.
The Sculpture Club program includes bpinging speakers to the campus.
"The club is open to anyone who would be interested," said Prof. Tefft.
Soviet Russia Tests New Hydrogen Bomb
LONDON — (UIP)— Russia, stepping up its scientific offensive against the West, today announced it has successfully tested "a powerful hydrogen (bomb) device of new design."
Radio Moscow reported this only three days after it announced Russia's first earth satellite had been launched into space. It said the hydrogen test took place Sunday and was "successful."
It appeared the test had been timed to give the West new evidence of Russia's claimed scientific superiority.
The official announcement was highly unusual. Russia seldom discloses nuclear tests until well after their completion. Usually the United States and Britain are first to reveal Soviet blasts.

Shows America Russians 'No Dumbbells,'Storer Says
Dr. Hagen said the American satellite would contain equipment which would enable scientists to get "much more precise data." He said the main thing the Russians have shown by this experiment is that they can get a missile into outer space.
Russia's launching of a 185-pound space satellite has brought conflicting reports from a KU astronomer, from experts in the field, and from political leaders.
"Unless you are lucky and unless you know exactly where and when to look, the chances of seeing the satellite even with binoculars, are very slim," Dr. Hagen said.
N. W. Storer, associate professor of astronomy, said Sunday it may be a good thing the Russians got a "moon" up first. Now maybe the American people will awaken to the fact that "the Soviets are not dumbbells," and that "we are up against something tough," he said.
The satellite is probably not sending signals. It is using two radio frequencies, 20 and 40 megacycles, alternating transmitters every one-third second.
Data on shape or level Prof. Storer explained that from the satellite's orbit scientists could learn about the shape of the earth and the exact distance (down to feet) between continents.
The Russians could conceivably blow the satellite up, Prof. Storer said, "but it won't completely vaporize because it isn't going fast enough. It's traveling only 5 miles a second and a meteor goes 25 miles a second."
Prof. Storer said the Russians probably used an Intercontinental Ballistic missile base to send the moon aloft. This may mean the Russians are ahead in the ICBM field but does not necessarily put them ahead of the U. S. militarily, Prof. Storer explained.
"There are simply two transmitters in the satellite." Dr. Hagen said.
Sen. Richard B. Russell, (D-Ga) chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said satellite "concalhoun, Ga," that the satellite "confronts us with a new and terrifying danger" but Dr. John P. Hagen, director of the U. S. satellite program, said in Washington that the Russian space moon is not a scientific missile comparable to the precise satellite this country plans to launch, probably this spring.
Data on Shape of Earth
"We might develop something equally important before they do," he said.
'Not Sending Code'
"It'll make a big splash or hole in the earth when it hits," he continued.
In his talk, Sen. Russell said "this is not the time or place for panic or fright."
'No Time for Panic'
The Russian moon was launched in a north-to-south orbit around the earth. Because the earth is rotating in a west-to-east direction and the path of the satellite remains fairly constant, the moon is moved about 1,200 miles westward every time it makes a pass over the earth.
Hospital Cases All Influenza, Canuteson Says
Fewer students are being admitted to Watkins Hospital today, but those who are coming in are more serious cases. Dr. Ralph I. Camuteson, director of the Student Health Service, said today.
Dr. Canuteson said last week that students' who came to the hospital had a variety of illnesses from colds and coughs to influenza. Today's cases admitted are strictly influenza, he said.
"There were more people sick last week, but students coming to the hospital now have a more serious illness," Dr. Camuteson said.
There are now 62 patients in the hospital including six patients who entered this morning.
Dr. Canutson said about 3,250 students have been vaccinated so far. He said there is enough vaccine left to take care of 350 persons today and a shimbment of 1,200 doses is expected tonight.
I-State Game 1st Telecast

Men! Here's How She Lives
"Sorry, no outside line."
These four little words are very familiar to women living in residence halls.
Probably no person or place in the world confronts the proble mof making outside calls as do these women.
However, this is only a small problem, reduced in importance by the over-all view of residence hall life.
Where better than in a residence hall does a person have the opportunity to become acquainted with women all the way from Texas to Tipperary.
Problems, both of school and of men, become as familiar and as important to the friend next door or down the hall as they are to the person involved.
Bridge and Gossip
Bridge, a game played occasionally at home, is a relaxing pastime which provides a chance to catch up on that last bit of rossin.
Heard of animal menageries? They're as common in dormitories as the flu. Beds, dressing tables, and windows are literally crawling with stuffed animals, from teddy bears to elephants.
Little baskets or buckets are also a part of the life and considered step-savers as they tote equipment
Quiet Hours Observed
for brushing teeth and caring for facial beauty.
Quiet hours, another chapter in the life of a resident, are observed more often than not. Any infringement upon these golden hours brings a rap on the door or a tap on the wall from the studious.
Waiting in line is habitual, that is if breakfast, lunch and dinner are a part of a resident hall woman's schedule.
And fire drills afford a lawn scene of some of the funniest getups ever worn. Multicolor scarves or towels cover pin curls and accent robes and coats.
How Do You Lose It Standing Still?
It was one of the first lessons in Women's Elementary Tennis.
Hold your racket as if you were shaking hands with it and hit the ball firmly across the net," the instructor counseled.
This task seemed awfully hard. The balls were flying everywhere except where they should have been.
Finally an exhausted girl, after running to the farthest corner of the court for a stray ball, shouted over to her partner;
"Sure I want to lose weight, but I don't want to lose it all over the court!"
