Every home game for KU brings many auxiliary policemen on duty, many highway patrol from across the state, and many extra hours for KU patrolmen.
According to E. P. Mooman, chief of the KU Traffic and Security Office, 21 special highway patrolmen will be called to Lawrence and the surrounding communities to help handle the traffic problem.
MORE THAN 45.000 fans are expected to pour into Memorial Stadium to see the Nebraska team tangle with KU. To add to the drawing ticket, it is also KU's Homecoming.
Nebraska has drawn over 60,000 fans to all of its home games this year, and Lincoln, the home of
the Conhuekers, is only a few hours' drive from Mount Oread.
For the last KU home fill, traffic was backed up for a half mile on the Turnpike at all the exits opening into Lawrence at the west. The east exit had much the same problem.
The highway patrol plane will be in the air, not only watching for traffic violators, but helping the ground forces to route traffic for the most expedient flow of cars.
Four patrol cars will cruise the highways coming into Lawrence. This does not include the Turnpike crew, Moomau said.
Two more patrolmen will handle any wrecks and work any particular problem areas. The patrol will also use two motorcycles for that purpose as well as for escorts.
The other 17 men will be on duty directing traffic at problem intersections on the highways, both in and out of the city, before and after the game.
THE LAWRENCE police force will handle most of the other problem intersections inside the city, assisted by the Douglas County Sheriff's office and an auxiliary force.
The Campus patrolmen will be doubly busy over the weekend. Not only will they have the game to contend with, but they will also be handling traffic problems caused by the Homecoming display on Friday night and the Al Hirt concert Saturday night.
The Nelson Art Gallery in Kansas City has invited KU students and faculty to the opening of an exhibit Friday from 7:30 to 10 p.m.
Bus trip is set to Gallery
The exhibition is entitled "Sound Light Silence Art that Performs," and features work by Ivan Karp, Robert Pincus-Written, and Ralph T. Coe.
A BUS, SPONSORED by the SUA Art Forum, will take interested persons to the gallery in Kansas City, Anne Wooster of the SUA Art Forum said.
The bus leaves the Kansas Union Friday at 6:30 p.m. and is scheduled to return by 11 p.m. Tickets may be purchased at the SUA office in the Kansas Union for $1.

CHELMSFORD, England (UPI)—Townspeople gathered in the street and cheered when a fire broke out in an office building here.
Firemen managed to put out the blaze—in the income-tux office.
