Do ghosts give you the shakes? Do rattling skeletons and piercing screams send shivers up and down your spine? No, this isn't an ad vertisement for a cure-all medi cine; it's a warning to you that it will take steady nerves if you plan to attend the Hallowe'en Dance at the Union Friday night after the Homecoming rally. Eddie Garner and his orchestra uill be there to scare the spooks and goblins away. Couples will enter the ballroom via the west stairs through a maze of tradi tional Hallowe'en spooks. Special refreshments which will be sold Operations Costume Design Have you designed a cos tume for the 1948 Honorary Colonel that may win for you a wrist watch? If so, turn it in to Room 110, Military Science building before 4 p. m Friday, Oct. 29. Only four days remain for students to enter the Cadet Officers' contest for designing the costume. Today is D-9. aym are cider and popcorn, while the tickets are 60 cents. But remember, if your insur ance isn't paid up and your heart can't take much excitement 'lis best that you don't attend these gay festivities. A' Two things every college man, should know! Final migration memoirs! ! ! ! The scene: the K.U. stadium. The time: the half. As the band marched out onto the field, a Ne braska rooter stood under the goal-posts, hat over his hcurt. Suddenly a Kansas coed rushed onto the field and embraced said Nebrasknn The boy Dngie Doyle. The girl one he nut in Estes where they planned the goal post rendezvous. Outstanding event in K.C. Sat urday was the party staged in the Terrace Room of the Muehle bach. Even some staid and stodgy elders joined in the cheers and singing led by enthusiastic Faid ley Farber and the Raspa dance led by Tat Baldwin and Bob Ax tell. Burlesquing were Phil Harris and Paul Bloomer, Ruth Stewart and Jim Kenner. Lost in the Jungle Room were Pinkey Byers and Dick Skochdople. George Coupe and Donna Pratt kept happy Joy-riding. Then there was the "2440 Club" and Janice Mc- i Cuig and Dora Lee Ncidenthal 1 with K.U. dates Gordon Halliday j 1 and a local Sig Chi. Slagging I it at Milton's was Stan Johnson ' ; after a fruitless date hunt among Nebraska coeds present.

It was such a successful undertaking that they were presented with sou- i veniers from each house on cam- 1 pus they said! A Point of Information ... Since the administration has agreed to lower book prices, many students expect that the next time they go into the Regents Bookstore they will be able to buy a brand shiny new book for some Utopian low price. ) Such will not be the case. Again the word politics raises its ugly head and steps into the limelight. This time, however, we cannot condemn the ever reliable administra tion for the dirty work. The administration is planning to reduce book prices in the only way they can by reducing the prices of used books. Fine deal as that is, the student still asks uhij can't new book prices be reduced as well? Here simply (simply as we can decipher it from the red tape) is the reason. The Veterans Administration, un der the vet's Bill of Rights, pays the University the "min imum price for each book the veteran student buys. All bookstores on the campus have been charging publishers' list prices on new books. Consequently, the list prices on each book has become the amount the VA has paid the University and the University in turn has paid to the book store that sold the book. If one bookstore here, such as the Regent's, would charge 10 less than list price, as was suggested, this new price would be established as the minimum price the VA would pay for the book. The University still has to pay the other bookstores the price they charged for the book. This would be incurring a 10 loss to the University on each book, because they would orrry get enough money from the VA to pay for 90 of the bill to the bookstores. This deficit would have to be made up for in increase of prices in some university department, perhaps 'the Book store. Hence Regents would be defeating their own pur pose in lowering book prices. Since there is no way around this obstacle, students should accept the fact that new books will have to be sold at list price. All is not lost, however. The administration that migrations has 'definitely agreed to lower book prices, although they invention b u t have to be tusrd book nrices. LOUISE McDILL a year.

The click of a telephone re- ciever is actually a disconnected phone. The banjo is the pride and joy of the radio department . it has one strong, ah, but what a strong. It can produce a variety of sounds depending on how tight the strong is stretched There is an amusing story be hind the banjo.

FRANK MARSH Secretary af gtat Somebody had a sense of humor . . the banjo's one versatile string gave a peculiar b-o-owang.' Poor (Jay couldn't control him self and let out an unorthodox snicker. Therealter Gay had trouble with that line. The squeaking door which was heard in "W'uthering Heights" was a wooden peg twisted around in a block of wood. The squeak pioduced exactly like that of a door. The wind machine is a wooden wheel with a canvas stretched over it. When the canvas rubs against the turning wheel the whistling winds heard in "Wuthcring Heights" were pro duced. Van West over and Robert Osmunson were the busy sound effects men. Van was doing everything fiom twirling the wind machine to making hole's hoof beats. The hoof beats are made by two rubber plumbing cups pounded up and down in a box of loose gravel. Margaret Dutton doesn't al ways have such a ghostly voice as was heard in the last Author's show, "Wuthering Heights." Her voice was given it's supernatural quality by a most ingenious ar rangement. The piano top in the studio was opened up. A mike was set inside the top and the loud pedal was held down by stone weights. Margaret was given a mcg.iphone to project her voice into the piano top, sit ting up the vibration of the piano strongs. Rain was made by taking a handful of gravel and letting it fall through the fingers into the gravel box. The sound of dishes at mealtime was made by twink ling regular silverware against cups and saucers. Perhaps next time you are lis tening ' to a radio department production you will appreciate . the various sounds you hear dur ing a program. Maybe you will realize how ingenious and busy sound effects man must be to keep a production going smoothly down in studios "A," "B" and C."
