Homecoming '64—
(Continued from page 1)
LARRY COLBURN, Lawrence junior and head cheerleader said the cheerleaders were still having a little trouble getting the effect they wanted with their motions.
"We didn't expect the idea to catch on right away," Colburn said. "But people are catching on to the idea of cutting off the words and building the sound up."
With all the change that is hopefully for the better, there is one situation which always gets worse—the traditional traffic jam after the game.
E. P. MOOMAU, CHIEF OF the campus police, said yesterday, that his department was anticipating 10,000 cars on campus during the Kansas-Nebraska football game. This figure is nearly 2,000 more cars than usual.
"We don't expect traffic to return to a normal state after the game either," Moomau said, "because of other activities on campus. Many people will be staying for the Harry Belafonte concert."
Several additional men will be necessary to handle the heavy traffic, including extra University policemen, the full complement of city police force, highway patrolmen, several firemen, and men from the civil defense department.
BILOTTA SAID THE last ticket to the football game was sold Monday. The stadium has a seating capacity of 44,900.
"There will be no standing room tickets sold this year," Bilotta said. "This decision was made by Wade Stinson, KU athletic director, because it is hard for the people with seats to see over those standing."
Bilotta said the athletic department was passing up a lot of income to make sure with seats could see.
CARRYING ON ANOTHER tradition, the alumni office has again planned bus tours of the campus for returning alumni.
The tours will be from 9-11 a.m. Saturday. They will last approximately 25 minutes. Scott Linscott, Topeka junior, will be student guide for the tours.
"As each alumnus registers for Homecoming at the Kansas Union Saturday, he will be given a free pass for the tour," Bilotta said.
NEW SIGHTS for returning alumni include Blake Hall, the engineering building, the nuclear reactor center, and five new dormitories.
Summerfield Hall and additions to Snow Hall, Dyche Hall, and Watson Library will also be of interest to many returning alumni.
"Alumni are encouraged to go into Watson to see the changes; however, the tour bus will not stop for this," Bilotta said.
Much of the activity this weekend will take place at the Kansas Union.
FRANK BURGE, director of the Kansas Union, said alumni registration, Homecoming open house with the queen finalists present, and receptions for several schools in the University would be held there.
"From morning until midnight, I would guess that more than 17,000 people will be going through the Union," Burge said.
Burge added that he would hate to guess how much food would be prepared during the day.
"WE EXPECT A tremendous crowd for Belafonte," Burge said. "In order to provide for all these people the Prairie Room, the Hawk's Nest and two lines in the Cafeteria will be operating at capacity."
The Kansas Union kitchens will also provide food for the "Homecoming Barbeque Under the Big Top" from 11:30-1:30 p.m. Saturday on the tennis courts south of Memorial Stadium.
"At noon the concession stands open at the stadium," Burge said. "There are enormous amounts of food prepared for this."
BURGE SAID THAT AN indication of how many refreshments were sold at football games was that 16,700 quarts of cold beverages were consumed at the last game.
While students, alumni, and other fans are consuming all that cold beverage, they will have a chance to watch what could be the most exciting football game of the season and all the pageantry of the Homecoming halftime ceremony.
The KU Jayhawkers, undefeated in league play, will be facing the nationally fifth-ranked and also undefeated Nebraska Cornhuskers.
PRECEDING THE game, Marine Lt. Billy Mills, who won a gold medal in the 10,000-meter race at the Tokyo Olympics, will be presented to the crowd. Mills will be escorted by Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe, Wade Stinson, KU athletic director, and Mills' former KU track coach, Bill Easton.
As a KU senior, Mills won the Big Eight cross-country title in 1960 and the league indoor and outdoor title in 1961.
After NU leaves the field, the 121-member KU marching band will enter playing a traditional circus march, "Barnum and Bailey Favorites," in keeping with the Homecoming theme "The Greatest Show on Earth."
NEBRASKA'S MARCHING band will take the field first during halftime for a solo performance.
The band will form a crown and the letters. KU. Hoite Caston, Independence graduate student, will introduce each of the queen finalists.
Army, Navy, and Air Force ROTC units will form a corridor on the 50 yard line.
CATHY BERGSTROM will be escorted through the corridor by Air Force Cadet Col. Bill Carpenter; Donna Miller will be escorted by Navy Cadet Lt. Commander Lewis Felton; and Susan Nash will be escorted by Army Cadet Col. James Hamilton.
A critical biography of an English writer who achieved fame as a novelist of naval life, a journalist, and literary lecturer was published today by the University Press.
The book, "James Hannay: His Life and Works," is by Dr. George J. Worth, chairman of the English department at KU.
Literary Biography Published at KU
Hannay, an associate of the writers Caryle and Thackeray, died in 1873 while serving as British consul in Barcelona, Spain.

Belafonte sings what every man feels
In his latest album, "Ballads, Blues and Boasters," Belafonte brings to mind the words of an old spiritual, "...sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down..." With a wide variety of songs, he expresses the moods that every man (and woman) experiences at one time or another. Boasters like "Tone the Bell Easy" and "Back of the Bus," find Belafonte in a satisfied and expansive mood while blues such as "Blue Willow Moan" are for everyone who has ever known trouble. And, of course, ballads like "Four Strong Winds" find Harry right at home in his musical element. A dynamic performance in Dynagroove sound!
