Band Day lures 5000 marchers
By BETSY WRIGHT
A student-alumni migration from Colorado University will add to the influx of cars, buses and trains expected for tomorrow's Band Day football game.
Special cars will be added to a train leaving Denver Friday night to bring the 130 members of Colorado's band to Lawrence, and another group of cars will be added for students and alumni, the Colorado University athletic office said. The migration is being sponsored by a Denver travel agency.
ABOUT 5.000 Kansas high school students will also converge upon KU Saturday morning to participate in Band Day ceremonies.
At 9 a.m. the students will assemble for a parade down Massachusetts St. This will be followed by an early lunch at 10 a.m. to be eaten on the field at Memorial Stadium. Practice for the intricate numbers the 5,000 will perform together will start at 11:15 a.m.
The KU Marching Band will provide pre-game entertainment at Memorial Stadium and Colorado's bend will put on a performance during the first part of half-time.
The two bands will then join

with the high school bands in "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "The Crimson and the Blue," directed by Russell Wiley, professor of band at KU. During this performance the bands will spell out "Band Day—1966" on the field.

The sophomore class decided to adopt a Vietnamese orphan at a meeting of the class congress last night in the Kansas Union.
The orphan will be adopted through the Foster Parents Plan, Inc., said Dave Keesling, Herington sophomore and class vicepresident.
Rhodes choice set
Seven KU students, six seniors and one junior, have been nominated by the faculty as candidates for Rhodes Scholarships.
THE KU SENIOR nominees besides Harrington are Gary Gregg, Coldwater; Ted Haggart, Salina; Martin Holmer, Wichita; Will Price, Wichita, and John Alderman, Lyons. Al Martin, Shawnee Mission junior, is the seventh nominee.
Aldon Bell, assistant dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said the group has applied for interviews with a state committee Dec. 14 in Hutchinson.
After the interviews, the committees will nominate two students who will appear before a regional committee Dec. 17 at Des Moines, Iowa.
One nominee, Rick Harrington,
Terre Haute, Ind., senior, will appear before a similar committee in Indianapolis, Ind., the same day.
Dean Bell said the results of the findings of the regional committee will be released that day.
IN THE LAST eight years, KU has had six Rhodes Scholars, and has ranked fifth among colleges nationally.
A Rhodes Scholarship entitles a recipient to study any field in which Oxford University offers a degree including law, Dean Bell said.

The cost of supporting the child will be $180 a year. This amounts to $15 a month which will cover the basic needs for education (textbooks, pencils, paper), clothing, food, birthday and Christmas presents and medical care.
PATTY BALDWIN, Prairie Village sophomore and chairman of the committee, will write the child once a month in the name of the sophomore class. In return the class will receive a letter from the child in his native language and a translation. This letter will be mimeographed and distributed to class members.
The program lasts for one year, Keesling said. If the class chooses to, it can support the child for a total of three years.
Possible choices for the child's national origin included Greece, South Korea, Hong Kong, Ecuador, Peru, the Philippines, Colombia and Viet Nam.
The selection of Viet Nam was "pretty unanimous because of our involvement there." Keesling said. The sex and age of the child will be decided by the committee.
"THE PROJECT is unique among classes at KU. I am encouraged by the response," Keesling said.
At the meeting, which about 50 persons attended, a preliminary constitution was distributed to class representatives.
The class party tonight at 7.30 at the Red Dog was also mentioned. Admission is free to sophomores with class cards, $1 if they do not have their cards and $1.50 for non-sophomores.
The next congress meeting will be Thursday, Nov. 18, at 7:30 p.m. in the Meadowlark Room of the Kansas Union. At this time the constitution will be acted upon, a chairman of the congress will be elected and permanent chairmen for the social, financial and promotional committees will be selected,

Students saw the elections as protests.
In a man on the street interview, the majority polled suggested Docking won on anti-Avery sentiment and they saw the national elections as public dissatisfaction with the Viet Nam war and a call to slow the Great Society.
OTHER COMMENTS suggested that students saw Mrs. George Wallace's election as a power play or a farce, while sentiment was nearly evenly mixed on Reagan's conservative victory in California.
John Padget, Lawrence senior, said of the Kansas governor's contest: "It's not a race, it's a turtle trot." Turning to the nation, he suggested, "People are tired of a Congress that approves anything the President 'suggests.'"
Steve Mauck, Silverlake senior and a Republican, said of Kansas, "I was disappointed. Avery hadn't gotten out. Sitting back saying 'I'm Avery and I don't have to campaign,' doesn't win an election."
He expressed Republican optimism: "I think the party has rebounded back and will be in good shape in 1968."
Albert Wirz, Zurich, Switzerland, graduate student, offered his comments. "I was afraid Reagan would win and he did. It's a bad example that a man who has no political ideas is elected as governor."
Bill Schildberg, Overland Park senior is a Republican who said, "I'm happy Docking won. Avery's just a politician. Kansas is a Republican state. I'm glad to see the slight shake-up. You get any of those guys in there too long and they get stagnant."
Terry Gaffney, Mission junior, considered the Kansas governor's race. "It was an anti-Avery vote. And, I should add, Docking has a good name because of his father."
Gafney didn't think the Great Society was affected. "All of the major legislation is passed. I don't think the election really changes anything too much. It's really just important to certain individuals in certain specific areas."
John Dallal, Beirut, Lebanon, junior, suggested that taxes crippled Avery. "All prices are up too much. Taxes, educational fees . . . just too high. A politician can do almost anything as long as he doesn't increase taxes. Avery increased taxes. That's the reason he lost."
"DOCKING GOT in on his father's image." Dallal said. "He will have a hard time.I don't know whether he can pass any of his legislation or not.
"Aside from the governor's race, it was a pretty routine election."
Dallal commented on the Great Society. "It's
been shaken a lot and it's sinking gradually. By 1968 it will be at the bottom. Johnson's been pushing too much too fast, especially civil rights."
Ken Hickerson, Des Moines, Iowa, senior gave his opinion on the elections. He said, "Reagan won on his past popularity rather than the political reasons. Mrs. Wallace being elected showed that there is still a larger anti-civil rights group than many people thought."
ABOUT THE CHOICE of 1968 Republican presidential candidates Hickerson said, "If Reagan is nominated it will be for the same reason he won the governorship. Romney has a good chance but he might be hurt because of his foreign policy views. Nixon, the 'lame duck,' not too much of a chance, he's a useful man for helping others, but others won't back him. I will say this, though, if Wallace gets elected I hope that there is no war going on."
Turning to the Kansas outcomes Hickerson said the result of the gubernatorial race wasn't a surprise. "The only thing that surprised me," he said, "was that the students picked Avery in the UDK straw poll."
Susan Metz, Kansas City senior, was outspoken on the race for governor in Alabama. She said, "It's horrible, Mrs. Wallace's idea is just to let her husband carry on. It's a disgrace."
