Rally to Send Grid Jayhawks After Tigers
Bv Jane Larson
It was a cool, crisp autumn night in 1902. A group of university men, bursting with enthusiasm for the victorious first game, appeared shouting and stomping on the lawn for their chancellor.
Several minutes later Chancellor Frank Strong appeared in his nightshirt and led the cheering students down Massachusetts Street.
ALTHOUGH CHANCELLOR W,
Clarke Wescoe may not appear in
his nightshift Friday, he is
missing class at 11: a10.m., instead
of 11:20 a.m., for the nep rally.
The rally, to be held in front of Strong Hall at 11:15, will send the team off to a hopeful victory in Columbia. Mo., this Saturday.
Mike Lemaine, Leawood senior and head of the ASC Traditions
Committee, said. "Wed'like for it to be one of the biggest yet. This is KU's biggest game which may result in a Bowl game. We've got to show the team we're behind them."
CHEERLEADERS AND possibly the KU band will help arouse enthusiasm for the send-off.
Besides the cheering, Coach Jack Mitchell will speak a few encouraging words for the team and possibly may burn a tiger in hopes of Mizzou's defeat.
When asked about KU's chances with the MU Tigers Mitchell said, "We've always got a chance, MU is favored but KU's won more games. There's just no way to tell. We'll just have to see."
THE VICTORY over Mizzou could mean a chance at a Bowl game for KU.
Which bowl, however, is unknown. The Big Eight Conference recently broke their contract with the Orange Bowl and now must take their chances of being invited by another Bowl.
Previously, the winner of the Big Eight would definitely play in the Orange Bowl.
IN KU PEP rally history there appears one rally that seems to have topped them all.
Weather
The revised forecast from the Topeka weather bureau at 11:30 a.m. calls for light snow flurries, cloudy skies and wind. Temperatures will drop to the 20's by morning and rise into the 30's tomorrow.
KU was scheduled to play the all-important conference game with Iowa State at Ames. This game had been classified as a "must-win."
To start the series of enthusiastic drives, a cheering crowd, complete with band and cheerleaders, appeared at the railroad station at 7:35 a.m. for a rousing send-off.
THE FINAL PUSH of enthusiasm welcomed the players home from the game.
The team was next greeted with enthusiastic crowds at their hotel in Des Moines and at the Iowa State Student Union Building in Ames.
Probably the most eyebrowraising rallies, which started in 1902, were the nightshirt parades, winding in a snake dance in downtown Lawrence.
Not only had students been aroused by such a rally, but the faculty greeted the idea with the same enthusiasm.
IN 1957, former KU Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy, clad in a white nightshirt dotted with tiny Jayhawks, L. C. Woodruff, dean of students, Miss Emily Taylor, dean of women, and Donald G. Alderson, dean of men, led the parade—all wearing nightshirts.
The student body, cutting a colorful and bizarre figure, was garbed in anything from pajamas and blue jeans to diapers. One enthusiastic student had a stars and bars flag flying from his diapers.
The women of the campus, who did not join in the nightshirt parade until after World War II, were more modestly attired in blue jeans and braids.
Snow Bewilders KU

Bewildered blades of grass stuck their heads up through the snow, wondering what had happened since yesterday when all this white stuff wasn't there.
The students looked a little bewildered too, as they bundled themselves up in unaccustomed parkas and gloves.
"When did all this happen?," one girl asked as she frantically dug in the depths of her closet to find the gloves she left there last semester.
OTHERS GOT in the Christmas spirit a little early and started playing Christmas carols on the record player. One girl said, "Well, it looks like Christmas, why shouldn't it sound like Christmas?"
Some students thought it came at a good time. "It looks kind of like a dream world and I could use one of those about now," one girl said.
One student had an impish grin as he walked down Jayhawk Blvd., as if he wanted to revert to less sophisticated days and throw a snowball at some unsuspecting person, preferably one who didn't like snow.
THE AESTHETIC ones walked dreamily down the sidewalk, thinking of the esoteric and poetic aspects of the weather phenomena. One girl was heard reciting the last three lines of Robert Frost's poem, "Stopping By The Woods on a Snowy Evening" . . . "And miles to go before I sleep. . ."
And then others, the sleepy ones, walked to class as if nothing had changed since yesterday.

Military Cut Includes Brooklyn, Schilling
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara has ordered the huge Brooklyn, N.Y., Navy Yard shut down as one of 95 bases and military installations he is closing for economic reasons, it was learned today.
The Defense Department will also close Schilling Air Force Base at Salina.
After teaching from July 13 to August 14, the law students presented Dean Logan with a few items on his last day of class.
THE STETSON hat was to signify that he is an honorary citizen of Texas. He received a document of citizenship signed by Governor John Connellly.
Returning to teaching without the responsibilities of a dean, was appealing to Logan. "It was great not to have phone calls and all the usual problems," he said.
Dean-with Hat-Becomes Texan
Dean Logan also received a letter from the U.S. Treasury Department. Although the letter was a joke, it stated that Dean Logan's stay in Texas as a visiting professor was considered an award which was taxable income.
"You can work and go to classes so it really was a vacation for me."
THE DEAN of the Texas law school asked Dean Logan to be one of eight visiting professors for the summer session. "If I had stayed here, for the summer, I probably wouldn't have taken the month's vacation I'm entitled to," Dean Logan said.

As you walk by Green Hall don't be surprised if you see a man timidly leaving the law building in a Stetson hat and loud paisley tie—he's just trying to keep his ears dry from the snow.
It's really James Logan, dean of the law school, who finally found a good excuse to wear his Texas hat. He is timid because he's afraid Kansans won't understand a 10-gallon hat.
Dean Logan's hat and tie were gifts presented to him this summer by law students at the University of Texas where he taught a summer course in federal taxation.

To our beloved professor—Dean James K. Logan," the will said, "who comes to us from that great state, the Citadel of Common Law Dogma, the home of such famous personalities as Quantrell and his Raiders and Alf Landon, the state known as bleeding Kansas, we give, devise, and bequeath the following items."
been valued at $5,000," the letter said.
The paisley tie which Dean Logan described as "terrifically loud" was given to him because his predecessor liked wide and loud ties. "They made the one for me twice as bad," Dean Logan said.
THE CLASS Dean Logan taught also made out their last will and testament prior to the final examination which they felt "may cause this class to expire and perspire."
Included in the list was a copy of the novel "How to Cheat Your Neighbor out of a Million Dollars" by that well known author Billy Sol Estes.
Also included in the will was a canned outline entitled "Mistresses and Trust—complete with research procedures."
WHEN ASKED to comment on his opinion of Texas, Dean Logan said his whole family enjoyed their vacation in the state. "While we were there we even visited the LBJ Ranch and took other side trips throughout the state," he said.
In comparing the two law schools, Dean Logan said the size of Texas' law school was the most outstanding feature. There were more than 850 students in the summer law school program. He explained this was because one summer session is required in their law program.
Dean Logan was impressed by the number of visiting professors that were asked to teach at the school. "I wish we had a summer school program and physical facilities to have the same arrangements here because we'd certainly profit," Dean Logan added.
Dean Logan explained that Texas University has a pre-law program and the students enter law school after their third year of college. "We abolished that program in about 1958," he said. "The students are more mature and better able to handle the material."
"THE KU students compare favorably to the Texas students," he said. "Our standards are equal or higher in the sense that our law students have a degree when they enter law school."
"Texas has a terrific faculty." Dean Logan said. "Also the students are similar to KU students they are informal and their interest is delightful."
The Brooklyn Army Terminal and nearby Ft. Jay on Governor's Island in New York harbor also was on McNamara's list of bases to be eliminated.
THE PORTSMOUTH Naval Shipyard at Portsmouth, N.H., also will be closed, Sen. Thomas J. McIntyre disclosed today. The yard employs about 7,500 persons from the nearby New England area and has an annual payroll of $61.6 million.
Closing out activities at Schilling will begin immediately and will be completed by June 30, 1965. Everything except the K-135 air refueling units will be moved away from the base by March 30 next year, it was learned in advance of the scheduled announcement of military installations to be closed.
THE BASE NOW has 763 officers, 4,244 airmen, and 357 civilians. They operate B47 bomber units, the KC-135 air refueling units, and Atlas "E" and "F" missile squadrons. The
Pentagon expects a saving of $9.5 million will be realized when the base is closed.
UPI also learned that the Atlas "E" and "F" installations at Forbes Air Force base at Topeka also will be phased out by April, 1965. That operation now has 128 officers, 434 airmen and one civilian.
Another victim of McNamara's economy drive probably will be Hunter Air Force Base at Savannah Ga. Sen, Richard B. Russell, D-Ga, said he understood the strategic air base would be cut.
THE OFFICE of Sen. Joseph S. Clark, D-Fa., announced that the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard will remain open. The yard had been the subject of speculation as one of the most likely to be closed.
Olmstead Air Force base at Middleton, Pa., will be shut down during the next five years, however, Clark's office said.
Private Firms Plan KU Residence Hall
a privately-financed residence hall may be built southeast of Allen Field House within the next two years, it was announced yesterday.
Allen Brothers and Co. of Memphis, Tenn., and a large insurance company have plans to build a 10-story, 504-student residence hall on the northeast corner of 19th and Naismith intersection.
Developers of the residence hall have applied for rezoning of the area by the city to permit construction of the building. The Lawrence Planning Commission will decide Dec. 16 whether to make the change in zoning.
THE BARTHOLOMEW PLAN, a comprehensive plan for Lawrence city development, has suggested, though, that the area where the new dorm will be should remain a low-density housing area.
The building would occupy land between Arkansas St. and Naismith
"The Bartotholome plan will certainly have some effect on the committee's decision," Ken Thompson, Lawrence City Planner, said. "The plan will have to be changed or the request for rezoning will have to be denied."
Road, from Eighteenth to Nine- tenth Streets.
THE UNIVERSITY HAS already announced plans for construction of two large residence halls on the northwest corner of Nineteenth and Naismith.
The private residence hall would contain 252 two-person rooms, with a bath located between every two rooms. It has not yet been announced if the new building would be for men or women.
the residence hall would operate like the university operated halls with food service in the building.
J. J. WILSON, DIRECTOR OF dormitories said the University was aware of the company's interest in building at KU. He said the University had made available some figures like projected student enrollments to the company so that they could complete their study of the area.
Thompson said the city had made similar gestures with figures on utility rates, and zoning regulations being offered to the company but no special privileges were proposed by the city to encourage development here.
