At half time the high school bands, directed by Russell L. Wiley, KU professor of band, will mass on the field spelling "Band Day—1964." They will play "Ol' Man River," "Jeannie With the Light Brown Hair" and "America the Beautiful."
The 5,500 students coming to Lawrence this year will better, by 500, last year's record for participation.
With 500 more students and 850-100 chaperones to provide stadium seats for, Wiley said he and his staff were up until 3:00 Wednesday morning making last minute seating arrangements. He said special delivery letters were mailed out yesterday explaining last minute plans.

Jim Frazier, Vox Populi president, delivered what he called a "scathing attack" last night on Bob Stewart, Vancouver, B.C., senior, and president of the student body.
Frazier, Topeka fifth year pharmacy student, speaking at a weekly Vox meeting, charged Stewart (University Party member) with stepping beneath the dignity of his office during his remarks at this week's ASC meeting.
Stewart Speech Blasted
"TUESDAY NIGHT at the ASC meeting, Stewart spoke as secretary-general of the University Party," Frazier said. "It is not his duty to deliver political punches."
"He (Stewart) started out by expounding on the deficit from the preceding year," Frazier said, "and he implied immorality and fiscal irresponsibility on the part of the past administration."
Frazier said if an organization saw something worthwhile to do, it would naturally put more money in to that project than had been budgeted to spend.
"LAST YEAR THE ASC did function effectively," Frazier said, "and I don't think students would want it any other way."
Repudiating Stewart's statement that "Student government will not be as effective this year as it was in the past, because we must bear the burden of others' irresponsibility." Frazier said:
"The only function of the ASC is not just to spend money. Mr. Stewart's statement . . . is out of the way. I think that as long as the ASC is engaging in worthwhile projects, the University will back them all the way."
FRAZIER ALSO said Stewart had proposed three programs in the Tuesday meeting that had been put into effect by a Vox-dominated ASC.
"I wonder if Mr. Stewart did any research on the Student Travel Advisory Board before he made his statement last night," Frazier said. "This board is already in existence in exactly the same form that Stewart mentioned. It was Vox's idea and Reuben (Reuben McCornack, Abilene senior and former Vox ASC president) did much of the work on it."
Rock Chalk Pairs Named
Eighteen KU living groups have paired to submit scripts for Rock Chalk Revue, Hoite Caston. Independence graduate student and producer, said last night.
The pairings are: Alpha Chi Omega-Sigma Phi Epsilon; Alpha Phi-Alpha Kappa Lambda; Delta Delta Delta-Beta Theta Pi; Delta Gamma-Sigma Chi; Hashing Hall-Templin Hall; Kappa Alpha Theta-Kappa Sigma; Kappa Kappa Gamma-Phi Kappa Psi; Lewis Hall-Battenfeld Hall and Pi Beta Phi-Alpha Tau Omega.
Script themes, which can be taken from any movie classed as documentary, feature or full length film, are due on Oct. 16. Caston said.
"Fractured Flickers" is the theme for the Revue this year.
"He also suggested bringing the ASC Constitution up-to-date. A Vox dominated council did that last year."
FRAZIER ALSO cited Stewart's plan to establish a committee to investigate the effectiveness of other ASC committees as a repetition of work done by a predominantly Vox council.
"Mr. Stewart." Frazier said, "I would like to ask you when you are going to do something that we (Vox) haven't already done, and when you are going to devise a program to benefit the student."
Earlier in the meeting, Marshall Crowther, Lawrence third year law student and Vox's candidate for student body president in last spring's elections, told Vox the differences between Vox and UP could be emphasized by comparing the legislation that they proposed.
THE STUDENT seating expansion program and the program to publish cases before the social disciplinary committee, both of which were included in Vox's spring platform, were cited by Crowther as legislation
which would be of benefit to students
Crowther said that each Vox ASC member should have sound ideas and should complete research before introducing legislation.
"Legislation should not be introduced the night before an election, it should not be to say that you have introduced so many pieces of legislation, it should not be done for publicity in the Kansan." Crowther said.
CROWTHER DIDNT say so, but he was referring to UP's introduction of its platform planks into legislation on the eve of the spring elections last year.
Crowther predicted that Vox would win a majority of the ASC seats in the coming fall election, and would win the All Student Council presidency in the spring elections.
Other Vox business concerned reports on the membership drive, and the report of Oct. 8 as the date that the platform would be revealed, and Oct. 15 as the date that candidates would be announced.

UP Leader Charges Vox of Quick Start
At an informal, well-attended University Party meeting last night, Harry Bretschneider, secretary general of UP, accused Vox Populi of starting the campaign too soon.
"These people have started the election sooner than ever before," he said. "They started it, we'll finish it."
Dispensing with the regular business meeting, Bretschneider criticized the treasury deficit left by last year's Vox-controlled All Student Council.
"IT HAS never been UP's policy to criticize Vox, and I promise not to do it again," the Kansas City, Mo., senior said. "But it irks me that when we want to put our programs through, we find ourselves $740 in debt. I think this discredits Vox Populi's campaign claims to growth, responsibility, and continuity in student government."
"The spirit that will get student government back on its feet," Bretschneider, "is the spirit that was shown in last spring's torchlight parade."
Approximately 1,000 students participated in the parade supporting UP's candidates for the ASC, he said.
George Tannous, Lebanese senior, praised UP's record of platform achievements.
"Seven of the nine planks proposed in last spring's UP platform have been passed by the ASC," Tannous said. "One of the remaining two has been tabled. Only one plank was defeated."
"UP has done much better than the Democrats in Washington in such a short time," Tannous added.
THE TABLED PLANK, establishing a student employment committee, will be acted upon by the ASC as soon as research into the benefits of the program have been completed, he said.
The seven successful planks established a student-teacher evaluation program, a freshman leadership program, an examination file in the library, visitations of ASC members to living groups, a committed evaluation board (to supervise the ASC committees), the use of voting machines in campus elections, and a leadership day.
The remaining plank would have established a food committee to investigate the food problems of the various campus living groups.
