Farmer's Don't Like Wheat Idea
TOPEKA — (UPI) — Farmers in Kansas don't like a proposal to sell United States wheat to Russia.
Most of the farmers and farm leaders of Kansas looked upon the proposal with distrust in a survey of reaction.
But they generally agreed that the proposal to extend the wheat market to Communist nations deserved a cautious appraisal.
WHEAT GROWERS blasted it as a political coverup for the failure of the Kennedy administration to develop an acceptable wheat program this year.
Martin Byrne of Topeka, president of the Kansas Farmers Union, called the proposal a method being used to get some of the people and groups off the hook who so blandly and confidently predicted that we would get a new, permanent wheat program that would solve all of our problems.
No Love Lost On New Lighting
Nocturnal activities at the Campanile parking lot may become extinct when the street lights now being put up go into operation some time next week.
Some students have already dubbed the lights "anti-love" lights.
Two of the new street lights on Memorial Drive will illuminate fully the parking lot.
The 21 chrome lights are spaced every 150 feet on Memorial Drive, which begins at West Campus Road, winds around the Campanile, and ends on Sunflower Road.
Officials did have another reason for building the lights. Increasing numbers of students are using the drive as a walk-way and surrounding trees made night walking dangerous.
The lights are hooked up with the University system and will turn on automatically at dusk.
Byrne said the sale of surplus wheat to Communist nations also could lead indirectly to wider acceptance of communism.
I don't think the people of those (Communist) countries would ever know that they are eating American wheat, said Byrne.
The Kansas Farmers Union's hopes have been that one day the people of the Iron Curtain countries would get their bellies full of communism. But if their bellies are full of our wheat, the day they come to a conclusion on communism may be postponed, farmers felt.
Wearing Big Bird No Lark Says Man in Second Year
John McArton wears forty-five pounds of wood, metal piping and velvet to every KU football game.
McArtor, Webster Groves, Mo., junior, is the student who is the Jayhawker at all major athletic functions.
The red, yellow and blue "bird" is an oven in early September, McArtor said, but it keeps him warm during the late season games.
McARTOR SAID it is hard work strutting around the field during the game but he enjoys the job. This is his second year wearing the bird.
The costume, valued at $1400, has been around since 1952 when it was first worn at a KU football game.
The man-sized Jayhawk was originally a public stunt for the Union Book Store. It became popular with students and was used at athletic
contests to bolster school spirit.
the costume McArtor will wear this Saturday was first used in the opening game of the 1958 football season.
The original 'bird' was rather worn and had to be repaired by a Lawrence upholsterer.
THE PHYSICAL requirements for wearing the suit include that the wearer be between five feet ten inches and six feet tall and have not larger than a size ten foot.
There have been several attempts to dismantle the mascot.
In 1957 a Colorado fraternity stole the bird, and later returned it C.O.D.
At the end of one KU-Missouri game some Missouri students tried to take the bird apart, but the KU band saved him.
