NINETY-FIVE DEGREE WEATHER OR NOT—Bob McArtor, KU's jayhawker mascot wears the heavy uniform of crimson and blue. Shading her eyes in order to see KU score against Syracuse is Phyllis Schneider, Shawnee Mission sophomore. The Jayhawker mascot not only helps the cheering squad here but travels with them to most out-of-town games.
Cheering Trips Include Car Repair, Expenses
While the football team is fighting its way to touchdowns, the KU cheerleaders have problems of their own.
Unforeseen travel expenses, learning new acrobatic stunts and long hours of practice can make the job hectic.
ALTHOUGH a budget is provided by the ASC for travel, the cheerleaders often run into such unexpected expenses as car repair, extra gas or medical care.
The 10 cheerleaders and the Jayhawk Mascot attend all away games when possible. However, they were unable to go to the Wyoming game last week because too much money was spent going to the T.C.U. game.
When possible the group stays at fraternity and sorority houses or residence halls. But if they arrive too late they also face the problem of finding a place to stay in hotels or motels.

BALANCED FOR THE KICK—Jill Newburg. Indianapolis sophomore, and Bob Lightstone, Coffeyville senior, do the shoulder stand. The KU cheerleaders spent hours perfecting the stunt despite the wear and tear on uniforms.
GEORGIA LONNECKER.
Kansas City junior, said one of the problems the group faces is losing each other during the long trips. Since two or three of the cheerleaders drive cars it is easy for one of them to get lost in traffic as it happened on the way to T.C.U., she said. Due to "getting lost" and car trouble, it took one carload 12 hours.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS
The squad has worked out several new stunts for the games. One used at the recent Syracuse game was a shoulder stand where the girls stood on the shoulders of the boys and balanced themselves there while a cheer.
HOWEVER, the person with the biggest problem concerning his uniform is John McArtor, Webster Groves junior — the "inner man" of the jayhawk mascot. He, too, travels to all of the games with all his heavy equipment.
This years' cheerleaders, who have made tentative plans for a pep rally before the KU-MU football games, are Suzanne Fisher, Prairie Village senior, Jill Newburg, Indianapolis sophomore, Cris Bergman, Webster Groves sophomore, Phyllis Schneider, Shawnee Mission sophomore, Georgia Lonnecker, Kansas City junior, Tim Hamill, Colby senior, Ron Tucker, Kansas City senior, Larry Colburn, Lawrence sophomore, Bob Lightstone, Coffeyville senior, and Bob Pitner, Glasco junior.

Flora Lashes Haiti and Cuba; Death Count Rises to 4,000
MIAMI — (UPI) — Hurricane Flora crossed Cuba today for the third time, heading for the Bahamas and leaving a trail of destruction across three Caribbean islands which counted more than 4,100 dead.
The Weather Bureau urged emergency hurricane precautions be taken in the Southeastern Bahama Islands at once. It predicted the center of the deadliest storm in 63 years would cross Acklins Island late this afternoon and cross Crooked Island a few hours later.
FLORA WENT on the prowl today after spending an unprecedented four days pounding Cuba where the death toll mounted to more than 100. It left the economy of Premier Fidel Castro's regime reeling and the government ordered tight new food rationing.
A Cuban government broadcast monitored here said the town of Santa Cruz del Sur, on the southeast coast of Camaguey Province, was being flooded by ocean tidal
THE WEATHER BUREAU said Flora would move generally toward the northeast at about 10 miles per hour during the day.
The hurricane crossed into the Atlantic at 11 a.m. EST (noon EDT) near Cape Lucrecia, the Miami weather bureau said. Its center was located near latitude 21.1 north, longitude 75.7 west, or about 80 miles north-northwest of Guantanamo Bay. This was 440 miles southeast of Miami.
waves. The broadcast said urgent help was needed.
A tidal wave that crushed Santa Cruz del Sur on Nov. 9, 1932 killed more than 3,000 persons.
HAITI WAS devastated by the storm which was still packing winds of 75 miles per hour, when it moved into the Atlantic today. An estimated 2,000 bodies had been recovered and Haitian authorities feared the death toll would climb past 4,000 when communications were finally restored.
The storm made its vicious sweep across Haiti's jungled south-
U.S., Russians Near Pact in Wheat Sale
WASHINGTON —(UPI)— Senate Democratic Whip Hubert H. Humphrey said today after a White House meeting that he expects the United States to sell the Soviet Union and three of her satellites up to five million tons of wheat.
Humphrey's statement was made in the wake of a disclosure that the Soviets, for the first time, have indicated they were interested in buying between $150 million and $200 million worth of wheat from this country.
The Senator's estimate of the total amount of possible sales — to Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Bulgaria as well as to Russia was somewhat higher.
Library Addition Will Be Home For 190,000 Books
More than 190,000 books will have a permanent home when the new addition to Watson Library is completed.
These volumes are being stored in four locations on the campus as the construction project moves into its final stages.
Many of the books were taken from the library and stored to make room for the construction. Others have never been accessible before at the library.
JOHN L. GLINKA, assistant director at Watson, said that the space shortage there has caused books the University has owned since World War II to be stored elsewhere on campus.

A second storage spot for the overflow of books is 205A Haworth Hall. Over 80,000 volumes are kept here and 30,000 more are packed in cartons in 5 Haworth.
Memorial Stadium is the temporary location of 20,000 volumes. They are being kept in a section
which once was used to house male students.
MURPHY HALL is another storage place. Four years ago temporary shelves were built in the basement of Murphy under the Music Library. Most of the 20,000 books stored here are novels or history by Irish writers and are from the O'Hagarty collection.
Several years ago, KU purchased a number of volumes on economies from the Creeror libraries in Chicago. These books, and others totaling 40,000, are now stored in the upper deck of the science library at Malott Hall.
ern peninsula Thursday but it was only yesterday that the full extent of the death and destruction began to reach the outside world.
CUBAN PREMIER Fidel Castro and 16 aides swam the swollen Rioja River in Oriente Province to set up disaster relief headquarters, Havana press dispatches reported.
Castro was reported wearing a steel helmet instead of his usual beret.
The Weather Bureau warned Bahamas' residents the storm is expected to gradually step up its power over open water.
Two later reports sent the death toll in Cuba soaring and told of new perils.
AN AMATEUR operator radioed the urgent plea for assistance for Santa Cruz del Sur, on Cuba's southeast coast.
Late yesterday, another radio operator reported more than 80 persons had been killed in Mayari, on Cuba's north coast near the spot

Rights Bill Set For ASC Action
The Human Rights Committee's "Declaration of Human Rights" will be brought before the All Student Council again tonight.
THE ASCS second meeting of the semester will begin at 7 p.m. in the Sunflower Room of the Kansas Union.
The declaration received approval from the Committee of Committees and Legislation last week after parts of it had been rephrased. ASC leaders had expected the council to approve the bill at its first meeting two weeks ago.
It was returned to the legislative committee, however, for rewording to clarify that the University already complies with all but several of the bill's policy statements.
The bill was introduced by the HRC in conjunction with results of a student survey it conducted last spring and announced two weeks ago.
ALSO TO be decided will be a bill establishing a committee to act as host to University visitors. It was introduced by Sue McKinley, Ottawa sophomore, and was passed by the Committee on Committees.
Radio station KUOK will broadcast the meeting if equipment can be installed. John Stuckey, Pittsburg senior and ASC chairman, said this will be the first time ASC proceedings have been broadcast.
Kansas Playwright William Inge Developed Skill While at School
By Linda Ellis
In that era when the campus casanova was the rage, a student was gathering information he would use later as a recorder of life in the small Kansas town.
For some reason a college atmosphere concerned with bathtub gin, radical political groups and the Boop-boop-a-doope produced a gifted playwright back in the '30s.
The student in the '30's, as any alum will verify, was a mixture of Cable, Barrymore and Valentino rolled into one. Or so he thought.
WILLIAM INGE, one of the most famous members of the class of 1935, was a quiet fellow while a student at KU.
Allen Crafton, professor emeritus of speech and drama, remembers Inge as "a good fellow. People liked him. He was shy, and not one of the crowd. He was not at all interested in writing while he was a student of mine."
In reminiscing about his former pupil, Crafton said Inge used to send him all of his plays to be criticized.
Inge got his initiation into the theater while acting in Sean O'Casey's "June and the Paycock" here. He had a minor part in the play. However, he enjoyed standing in the wings of the theater watching the others work, and hearing their lines. Inge told Prof. Crafton he thought listening to the play taught him something about them.
"I did criticisms on many of Bill's early plays. When "Come Back, Little Sheba" was going into production, he wrote saying if it was not a success, he would quit the whole business," Prof. Crafton said.
"BILL WAS NEVER interested in campus politics or other activities while he was here. He was a person of his own environment," Prof. Crafton said.
Concerning his success in the theater, Crafton said, "He just hit the right time. People were ready for what he had to say."
HIS FRIENDS here have said he was a very shy young man and still is publicity shy. Also he is known to be unpredictable. Even though he has bought property in Lawrence, many people are skeptical as to whether he will ever really come.
All his plays are about people in small towns, their vices and morals. At times he was unfair to the people, Prof. Crafton said.
In coming to live here, Inge apparently hopes to lead a secluded life.
Weather
Warm weather will continue in the area tonight and Wednesday. The low tonight will be near 50 and the high for Wednesday will be in the lower 80's.
