KU—KSU rivalry—
(Continued from page 1) won the battle-royal which ensued with a vengeance."
IN 1923, the gentleman's agreement was hardened as a treaty was signed by representatives of both schools' men's student governments.
For a few years, an uneasy peace continued on the campuses. In 1946 four Kansas State pilots dropped leaflets reading "Skonk the Javhawk" all over the campus.
Raymond Nichols, then KU's executive secretary, said, "If they had contacted us we would certainly have taken steps to prevent any action which would clutter the campus the way these pamphlets do."
THE STUDENTS had contacted the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce and received the permission of William Yearout, its assistant secretary, who said he "could find no provision in city ordinances prohibiting it."
ON DEC. 7, 1937, those seven were assessed damages of $44.30 in total for their raid of Nov. 9.
The next year, KU Dean of Men Henry Werner, sent a letter to K-State's president Milton Eisenhower. The letter named 12 K-Staters caught in an attempt to paint the statue of Jimmy Green. For a week the letter was not acknowledged.
A year later, the agreement was broken and the feud was renewed. That year, the Men's Student Council, here, held court and found five KU students and two non-students guilty of spreading paint on the K-State campus.
DURING THE next few years, painting KU on Manhattan sidewalks and KSU on Lawrence sidewalks seemed quite fashionable. Then came 1950.
Werner said, "Any action of Kansas State officials remains wrapped in mystery, and lost in administrative intricacies."
The seven were caught red-handed. They were jailed in Manhattan, then driven to KU by a sheriff as several carloads of K-Staters followed and attempted to overtake them.
The next year was fiery. Logan was then president of the All Student Council. Early Friday morning, Oct. 25, the Pioneer statue on this campus was covered with what the Kansan called "gobs of a thick purple substance resembling wax." At Kansas State, the solitary statue of William Alexander Harris got a yellow wig, a
red nose, and a KU on the pedestal.
In February of that year, the Kansas State Players' production of Moliere's "The Miser" was warmly received here. In November, the K-State College Independent Students Association extended an invitation to Jayhawks to attend the Aggie's Sadie Hawkins Day celebration.
LOGAN WROTE an open letter to the student body requesting that they not create a disturbance. They didn't.
The day after the heist, the Green statue was pointed. That same day the Wildcat was returned. The All Student Council took no action on the cat-stealing, and the students who pilfered the animal remained unnamed.
OTHER INCIDENTS in the mid-century year caused the ASC to protest to K-State against damages preceding the football game when the north goal post was torn down, Jimmy Green was again painted, and a flag with the letters "KS" flew over the pole south of the stadium.
Law School Dean James Logan was a student here then. He now calls the event "fantastic."
In March of that year, KU reciprocated by stealing the Wildcats' Wildcat from the Manhattan City Zoo.
It was a soggy afternoon. With the cold rain drizzling upon them, the Jayhawks and Aggies filed quietly from the stadium.

After years of peace pact signing, KSU managed to singlehandedly create a disturbance at KU in 1960.
AFTER DOWNING KU in basketball, the Aggies demanded a victory holiday. They demanded
so hard, United Press International suggested they reached riot proportions.
Instead of a victory holiday, 17 social fraternities were denied social privileges.
When we say we want people for the outer limits, this isn't what we have in mind.
Daily Kansas Friday, October 28, 1966
Forget science fiction. We're talking about the "outer limits" of technology.And these days it can be even more exciting than science fiction.
Right now IBM needs qualified men and women to help reach these outer limits. The kind of people who have made IBM the leader in today's fastest-growing major industry: information handling and control. And the kind of people who can grow with us as far as their
talents and abilities allow.
The result? Greater personal responsibility and recognition; the dual satisfaction of personal achievement and continuing personal rewards. A pretty satisfying result.
Job opportunities at IBM are in six major areas: Computer Applications, Programming Finance and Administration, Research and Development, Manufacturing and Marketing.
Whatever your immediate commitments, whatever your area of study, sign up now for an on-campus interview with IBM, November 18
If, for some reason, you aren't able to arrange an interview, drop us a line. Write to: Manager of College Recruiting IBM Corporation, 100 South Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois. IBM is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
