College Days will not be held
this year.
This decision was handed down
by the College Days Board in a
meeting held Thursday.
Joan Krueger, board chair
man, gave the reasons why the
program has been discontinued
indefinitely.
Miss Krueger said that there
would have to be more of an ac
tive interest in any program of
this type for it to be a real suc
cess.
"The administration flnH nrffan,

nine colleges and the various
schools and departments. For
absolute fairness the co-operation
of every student and fac
ulty member would be neces
sary. Miss Krueger pointed out that,
mere exists on campus such a
great number of activities both
educational and extra-curricular
that a problem arises as to how
these can be coordinated and
whether it would be advisable
even if feasible."
One of the most important facts
that the Board had to consider
at its meeting was the fact that
other schools did have programs
of this type that were very suc
cessful. The consensus was that other
Big Seven schools were operating
under an entirely different at
mosphere.
Lincoln is a city first, she
said, and a college town sec
ond. Many of the other schools
are functioning in an area
where the school is one of the
foremost factors considered.
Miss Krueger added. This is not
to say that the University is not
considered important in Lin
coln, she said, but it does not
have the importance of a col
lege operating in a smaller
town.
Another factor mentioned in
the discussion was that the Uni
versity can not make arrange
ments for all the state's high
schools to be dismissed at one
time. This would cause a loss in
the number of prospective stu
dents that would see a cross sec
tion of University life.
The Board emphasized the
fact that College Days had not
been discontinued for any one
reason, but for a combination
of reasons. The difficulty did
not center around any "particu
lar factor or single group," Miss
Krueger said in her report.
Bob Franks, open house chair
man, said that the problem of
having a program that will in
clude every group is very diffi
cult. "There is almost no chance
of presenting any plan that would
give an example of the whole
University.
Julie Johnson, board vice-president,
said she hoped that a Col
lege Days program could be pre
sented some time in the future.
"The basic principles are 'good,"
she added.
Last year the College Days
Board spent an entire year
planning a program that was to
be presented. The only actual
program was in April, 1950.
The same problem has con
fronted every chairman heading
the Board, with the same results
every year. The administrative
problems are always just too
much to cope with. For this rea
son the College Days program has
never achieved a solid position as
an annual University function.

Friday Night
A big surprise will greet the
rally crowd Friday night.
The rally committee, with the
aid of Corn Cobs and Tassels has
planned something entirely new
for the Kansas State rally.
To begin with, the rally route
is reversed. The crowd will
gather at the Union at 6:45 p.m.
and proceed to 16th and R
Streets, from there to 16th and
Vine and then to the Coliseum.
The rally will be led by the
official car of the 1952 Yell
Squad. The band will follow the
car and the lines of Corn Cobs,
Tassels and Fepsters will form
behind.
House banners will again be
carried in the rally. The Yell
Squad will give an award to
the house having the most repre
sentatives at the rally. The num
ber will be determined by the
amount of applause heard when
the name of the house is called.
Applause will be judged by the
faculty adviser to the Yell Squad.
