Drums Beat, Indians Dance At Pow-Wow
In spite of the fine mist of rain that threatened cancellation of the Potawatomi Pow-Wow, the drums continued to beat and the brightly costumed Indians continued dancing.
The festival took place at the fairgrounds on the Potawatomi reservation in Mayetta, just north of Topeka.
Aside from the dance contests, there were displays of Indian jewelry and crafts. Women fried eggs in corn soup over open fire to sell.

The dances, which have been handed down through many generations, were performed even by children 5 years old and younger. Many of the dancers displayed the traditional circle of feather worn on the neck and lower back called "bustles."

StudEx Votes to Spend $2,800 For Printing of 'Yellow Pages'
By B. T. WILLIAMS
Kansas Stall Writer
The Student Senate Executive committee (StudEx) gave Mert Buckley a vote of approval last night to allocate $2,800 of the budget for the River City Yellow Pages.
The River City Yellow Pages is a project conceived by the KU Information Center to offer the Lawrence community an online resource for students and the community that get little publicity.
The Information Center has already spent more than $3,000 to compile the information for print. The printing will cost approximately $2,800.
StudEx argued a matter of principle concerning the unauthorized printing of the information center, the director of the Information Center, gave William Smith, director of the KU printing service, the go-ahead to print a cover for the new catalog and to about an allocation of money from StudEx.
StudEx members agreed that an attempt should be made to block the printing of the C++ source file.

"Nothing!" also topped the companion list of things tourists like least about Kansas drawing 214 votes in that column. Other topics included "smooth roadways," "the smell of oil" and "dirt."
KANSAS' economic development department recently sponsored a survey of 545 tourists in an effort to identify the strong and weak spots in Kansas tourism. When asked what they liked best about Kansas 79 or 14 per cent answered "nothing." That was tapped only by "friendly people" (92 votes) and "scenery" (83). Full 100% of respondents said they KANSAs because its highways offered the quickest route to somewhere else.
George Mathews the state's tourism department ["I don't even have a secretary who knows what I'm doing, or somewhat unsetting. But he puts the best face on it. " I suspect that if you asked people what they like about Texas there would be a lot who'd say 'Nothing,' he said."
To Mr. Mathews Kansas is a natural for tourism. "It's a very historic state," he says. "We were the opening of the West, and just about all the famous gummen were
from Kansas at one time or another. And the last of the real savage Indian tribes—let's see that that's a bad word right?—the last man most hostile to the white man lived here."

Despite the lack of bodies. Boot Hill is one of the state's big attractions. Officials of it and of President Eisenhower's library in Abilene figure that each of those attentions was unavailable.
But if you want to avoid the crowds and still do Kansas there’s plenty to see. Like the ball of twine in our Cawker City (which gets its name from a pioneer, Col. E. H. Witcher), it is a 6-foot poker game. The ball of twine has a circumference of 29 feet and contains some 1.6 million feet of twine. While it would stretch to Carrollton Mo. to the east, town officials are sure how far west it will be because “It’s too heavy to roll uph.”
Rural Towns in Kansas Still Ailing from Depression
First State Bank in Norton has a "gallery of also rans" featuring unsuccessful presidential candidates. And Iola has restored for tourists the home of Gen. Funston a hero of the 1901 Philippine insurrection.
Still it isn't easy to find all these things. The Kansas legislature last session voted funds to build tourist information centers on key highways, but Gov. Robert Docking plan. He fed the centers could be combined with existing truck-weight stations.

Today in Wilson and throughout Kansas, wheat lesseps in mounds upon the ground because the rest of America cannot keep up with its agriculture.
It can allow farm prices to rise to their natural level and thus end the luxury economy of the suburbs. Or it can hold farm prices and maintain our false and weak economy.

He died 40 years ago and now is decaying in his red, white and blue mausoleum. (Yech" said a matronly visitor the other day, "Oh yech.")
THE RUSSIANS want wheat, the Chinese want wheat and now the Americans want wheat and no one can get it. We lack box trucks in transportation, gasoline and a sound economy.
The nation is facing its moment of decision.
If you're a history buff, you must consider Kansas. There's the Agricultural Hall of Fame in Bonner Springs and the Greyhound Hall of Fame in Abilene. The
The first would cause a national depression. The latter would continue the depression.
Either way Wilson loses, but the Czech festival will go on under its "Paper Mate" banner.
