Primaries to end today
From the Kansan's News Services
President Gerald Ford could come to Kansas City in August within striking distance of a first ballot nomination if he makes it through the primary. President Obama and New Jersey primaries,
To do that, Ford must beat challenger Ronald Reagan in his home state of California. If Ford wins in California's 167 delegates—along with 164 in Ohio and New York—and he wins the ballot, he will be 1,100 delegates. He needs 1,130 to be nominated on the first ballot.
Pollis indicate that Reagan is favored to win California's winner-take-all primary, but his margin over Ford has been declining.
Kansas governor Robert Bennett said yesterday he didn't think the tight race for delegates between Reagan and Ford would be decided in today's primaries.
In the Democratic races, Jimmy Carter will try to resurrect his early psychological
"It still looks like a dead heat," Bennett said. The race wasn't be broken until the end of the season.
edge over the other candidates, following recent defeats by Sen. Frank Church, D-Utah and Governor Jerry Brown of California.
If Carter wins all three primaries he would be within 350 delegates of the required 1405. He's favored to win in Ohio as well, and he's running second to Brown in California.
Brown and Hubert Humphrey, D-Minn. have been calling upon New Jersey voters to support uncommitted delegate slates in Ohio and New Jersey.
Here's a look at today's primaries:

New computers to be tested soon
By DAVID STEFFEN
The University of Kansas' new $5 million computer system is being installed and will be available for use on July 1, John Seitz, assistant director of operations at the computation center, said yesterday.
Computer hardware that arrived in late May is being installed by vendor field engineers and will be ready for testing by computation center officials by mid-June, he said.
In October 1972, a special committee analyzed the long-range computation needs of the University and determined the technical features necessary to fill them. Bids were submitted by four vendors in three categories: administrative, instructional and research integrated systems.
An Evaluations Task Force of 70 persons met last September to evaluate systems on the basis of the cost of a computer's total annual energy use. The IBM Computer unit system, using an IBM Computer for
administrative work and a Honeywell computer for instructional and research purposes, was approved by the State Division of Purchases. Contract negotiations with the vendors were completed several weeks ago.
KULEASE the Honeywell system, with the option to buy it, for $2.7 million, to be paid over seven years. The IBM system will cost $2.3 million, to be paid over six years. Part of that cost is an initial down payment on the computer. The rest of the cost is payment on the lease, which also gives KU the option to buy the equipment.
After the computers are installed, computation center personnel will test them to ascertain that the system meets standards that were established in earlier tests. The system will begin June 11 for the IBM system and June 14 for the Honeywell system.
A detailed conversion process from the old system to the new system is underway.
sessions, special consulting staff and a conversion assistance telephone number have been created to make the transition smooth for users.
The computation center staff is convinced the extra effort involved in the conversion is justified by the benefits of the new system, Seitz said.
The major advantage of the new system is speed. Paul Wolfe, computation center director, said "the savings in terms of time will be substantial."
The turnaround time, which is the time between submission of and return of a program, will be minutes for short programs, but many longer programs have been hours under the old system.
Part of the speed is due to the Express Small Programs (ESP) system," Seitz said.
"I (ESP) is an express system whose hardware may be the fastest in the country. Students can feed small programs into the computer through ESP and have them printed out an extraordinary rate of 1600 lines per minute," he said.
Summer school breaks record; 7.335 enrolled
First day enrollment for the University of Kansas summer session has risen to a record 7,335 students this year, Gil Dyck, dean of admissions and records, said yesterday.
Both the Lawrence campus and the KU Medical Center show increased over last year's enrollment with 5,813 and 1,522 students respectively. This total is 289 more than last summer's first-day enrollment of 7,046 students.
"We've had an increase of about 250
'students for the last five years,' Dyke said.
The increases are part of a trend that has been developing for the past several years.
"Easy Access" enrollment and late registration should boost total summer enrolment over last summer's 7,800 total, Dyck said.
Although a record number of students enrolled last Friday, Dyck said the procedure went smoothly and no major problems occurred. Only one class is in jeopardy of being dropped for a lack of students, he said.
Fourteen days of orientation are scheduled
Transfer students are invited to attend orientation sessions at the University of Kansas for the first time this summer, but few are expected to attend, William Balfour, vice chancellor for student affairs, said yesterday.
Balfour said that because more than 300 students who plan to transfer to KU attended orientation sessions in April, he didn't expect many transfer students to attend summer orientation.
Balfour said about 2600 students may attend the 14 one-day summer orientation sessions that are held to prepare freshmen for their academic year. Students with advisers to plan their schedules, receive student identification cards and talk with representatives of campus organizations and university programs. Students may also take placement examinations.
Two new topics that student services groups will discuss with freshmen are career planning and special tips for minority students. Other student services discussed are reading and study skills, personal growth through assertiveness training and decision-making and extracurricular activities.
Some students have come from Oklahoma, Ohio and New Jersey. Orientation directors were surprised that they said that far to attend the session, Balfour said.
Balfour said that more parents attended the sessions with the students last year than they did in 2015. Balfour program, which includes a conference with the dean of the student's school, a session on student services with Balfour, a bus tour of the campus hosted by the KU Alumni Association.

It is one decade ago to the day in Topesau at 7 p.m. The sky is dark-gray as the swell of a storm rolls over.
"Rather gloomy weather is expected to continue over the Topea area tonight," the state weather bureau reported that afternoon.
High above the city on Burnet's Mound on the southwest side of town a policeman and a radio announcer peer at the sky from their cars. By 7 p.m., they sighted a massive funnel cloud winding towards the airplane whose sirens sound their warning: tortured.
Robert H. Kau, a justice of the Kansas Supreme Court, can see the police car stop Burnett's Mound from the patio of his second-story apartment at 29th and Gage Avenues in Waco. In Waco, along "tornado alley," where funnel clouds are often sighted.
The Kauls and the other residents of the
By 7:15 the sky is black and the two cars are racing to the bottom of the hill. The tornado roars over the east side of the Mound. Kaul has never seen anything like this. A massive, twisting black funnel hurls dirt and trees through the air. Kaul and his wife rush to an apartment below and cover themselves with cushions just as bricks begin tumbling around them as a freight train, as loud as a battleship broadsides.
Leveling stretches of land sometimes a half-mile wide, the tornado moved northeastward, ripping through Washburn University, stripping the College Hill and through it. The tornado passed through the main business district. By the time the tornado hit the Oakland area on the east side of the city and twisted planes into piles of wreckage at the airport, 17 people were dead and hundreds were injured. It was the worst tornado in Kansas' history from June 26 to August, after news that the twister had touched down in Manhattan and Jarbado.
In Topeka alone, final damages to insured buildings totaled $41.9 million; 814 homes were damaged or destroyed. On June 10, the city declared an emergency Guard and Forbes Air Force Base controlled traffic and guarded the demolished east side of the city from looting. President Lyndon B. Johnson declared Topeka a viable for emergency federal assistance.
apartment complex near Gage Blvd. were among the first Topekans hit by the tornado that ravaged the city on June 8, 1966. The apartment complex's three buildings and scores of new homes nearby were demolished, beginning the 12-mile path of destruction the tornado would carve through Topeka.
The settlers' legend that Burnett's Mound would shelter the city from any appalling storm.
The tornado also made a mockery of man and his structures. Houses were reduced to kindling, cars lay in heaps like crumpled timber and the roofs were flattened in areas looked as if they had been bombed.
More devastating was nature's wrath against itself. Trees were tossed and twisted. Most of the oak's in front of the storm were blown out, the scars of the storm on their trunks.
For many who endured the storm,
memories seem as permanent as the
snow.
"I'll never forget this even if I live to be a thousand," the Maven Brother said the day.
Ten years later she says, "I remember it every bit of it I'd like to forgive the thing but I can't."
When the tornado tore toward Mrs. Bennett's home in the Oakland district, on the east side of the city, she was with neighbors in the front yard of her house.
"A huge, white cloud with a tail on it came upwards and I ran quick next door and got into a coal chute in the basement," she said. "The tornado sure made a horrible noise when it struck but the worst part was coming back out of the basement."
Live electric wires dangled on the street, torn and chipped bark was imbedded in houses, and people were crying outside. The house was safe, sheltered by the larger house was safe, sheltered by the larger
