Bands to show season's best
Massachusetts Street will be the scene of a colorful spectacle Saturday, as thousands of high school students participate in KU's annual Band Day parade.
Cinched in tight-necked uniforms and led by freezing twirlers sporting short skirts, this year's bandmen will probably have something other than ideal weather conditions.
Beginning at 9 a.m. at the Seventh Street Park, the bands will march about seven blocks south on Massachusetts Street. Playing music along the way, the groups will present their marching season's best numbers.
More than 5.000 high school students will be participating, said Kenneth Bloomquist, director of KU's marching band. They will represent schools from all over Kansas and a few from Missouri.
After the Colorado band's performance during half-time ceremonies, the bandmen will unite into a mass band, led by KU's Russell L. Wiley, to present "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "The Crimson and the Blue."
December dates set for Senate
The KU-Y will sponsor a model senate for freshmen Dec. 3, 9 and 10. Applications for senator have been distributed to living groups and must be returned to the KU-Y offices in the Kansas Union by 4:30 p.m. tomorrow.
Patterned after the U.S. Senate, the model senate will be divided into committees next week.

The committees will meet to discuss problems which are within their jurisdiction. Proposed bills will be submitted to the model senate at its first session Dec 3. At the first session all privately-sponsored and miscellaneous bills will be assigned to committees.
For these numbers, they will be in a formation spelling out "Band Day—1966."
KU's marching band will present only the pre-game program, Bloomquist said.
Questions about the senate can be directed to either co-chairman of the Model Senate Steering Committee, Mike Knaub, Lincoln, Neb. (VI 3-7370), or Walt Stromquist, Charleston, Ill. (VI 2-9100).
Debate and discussion of these bills by the senate will take place Dec. 9 and 10. During these two days the senate will debate and vote on as many bills as possible.

What he needed was Studd...
Now he wears it, and ZAP! No resistance!
"Business is for the birds! Who says so?
Lots of people do. Some right on your campus. And for rationale, they point an accusing finger at business and say it lacks "social commitment."
Social commitment? We wish they could visit our Kearny, N. J. plant, where we make cable and apparatus for your Bell telephone company. But we have time for other thoughts, other talents.
Like the situation in nearby Newark.
With civic and business leaders, we began buzzing with ideas. "Let's teach higher skills to some of the un-employed and under-employed.Say, machine shop practice. They could qualify for jobs that are going begging -and help themselves as well."
We lent our tool-and-die shop, evenings. We found volunteer instructors. A community group screened applicants. Another supplied hand tools. The Boys
Club donated classroom facilities. Another company sent more instructors.
Some 70 trainees enrolled. Their incentive? Self-improvement. Results to date? New people at better jobs. Happier.
And this is only one of dozens of socialminded projects at Western Electric plants across the country, where our first job is making communications equipment for the Bell System.
So, you don't give up ideals when you graduate. If anything, at a company like, say, Western Electric, you add to them. And it's not just a theory. It's practice. Satisfying. Come on and find out. And watch a feathered cliche fly out the window.
