Why Are Hurricanes Women?
SEATTLE, Wash. — (U.P.) During a discussion of the weather in a third-grade class here, the teacher asked if any of her pupils could explain why hurricanes were named after girls.

Phi Psi Tennis Champs Down Girl Challengers
For the second successive year Phi Kappa Psi fraternity challenged the members of Gamma Phi Beta sorority to a tennis match stating "We the party of the second part, do respect the gender of the party of the first part," and will thereby start two brothers who began playing only this summer. We will try to have them in shape for the match."
One of the most grueling tennis doubles matches in the history of KU was played on the Varsity tennis court Wednesday afternoon.
However, Bob Riley, Kansas City, Mo. junior, and Bernell Hiskey, Mission senior, who represented the Phi Psis, have had several years of experience.
He's Some Player
Riley was winner of the Big Seven Tennis Tournament last year, and represented KU at the National Inter-Collegiate Tennis Tournament at Chapel Hill, N.C. He reached the quarter finals in the National Junior Boy's Championship in 1954, and also won several matches in the Missouri Valley area. Riley is No. 1 on the KU tennis team.
Beverly Siebert and Fran Swanson, Kansas City, Mo., seniors, accepted the challenge for the Camma Phis. Their tennis experience is not dimmed by that of the boys for they won last year's KU title in the women's tennis doubles.
Miss Siebert won the KU women's singles championship and the Kansas City Women's Open last year. She captured the Missouri Valley tennis championship, and the Heart of America tennis tournament for juniors in 1952. She was sent with the Missouri Valley team to
She's Good Too
play in the Junior Girl's National Tennis Tournament in Philadelphia in 1951 and again in 1952. She was No. 1 on this team and was rated 23rd nationally.
The Gamma Phis were allowed a three game advantage in each of three sets, but lost the match 6-3, 5-7, 6-4.
After the game the victors were thrown in Potter Lake, already occupied by Sarge, the Sigma Nu dog. Then the two houses invited the opposite team to dinner.
The Gamma Phis entertained the Phi Psis at a watermelon feed that evening.

Ford Predicts Prosperity Era
MAHWAH, N.J. —(U.P.)— Henry Ford II predicted last night that the American economy is about to break through onto a "new, higher plateau" of prosperity.
He announced that the Ford Motor Company will spend a record $500 million for expansion in 1956.
Mr. Ford said the money would come from earnings and not borrowing. The amount probably is a record for expansion for any company of Ford's size during any single year, he said.
He spoke at a dinner sponsored by state officials and the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce at the dedication of Ford's new assembly plant at Mahwah, termed the largest in the world.
Mr. Ford said there was a need for Americans to show their faith in the economy. ___
Red China Pulls Troops From Korea
American officers said before the announcement by Peiping radio that the Communist and anti-Communist ground forces in Korea were equally balanced at about 775,000 men each.
Thus, observers said, a new troop reduction by the Chinese Communists would leave the UN side in the stronger position from the standpoint of manpower.
TOKYO—(U.P.)—Communist China has announced that withdrawal of six army divisions from North Korea during October will tip the military balance in favor of the Republic of Korea and its UN allies, an informed source said today.
Ohio College Ups Tuition By $60
MARIETTA, Ohio — (L.P.)—Tuition at Marietta College this fall has been increased by $60 to a total of $260 a semester with the increase averaging $50 after health, laboratory, and gym fees have been absorbed. Also effective this fall is an increase to $16 an hour for credit hours in excess of 15 a semester and less than 12, with 12 hours remaining as the minimum for the full fee.
The increase, first since 1946,
will still leave Marietta below the costs for 15 Ohio colleges with which it compares. The additional revenue will help make possible raises in faculty salaries, which have been increased only 12 percent since 1946.
The new tuition figure will increase the basic cost to the student to an average of $560 for the academic year, compared to the cost per student to the college of $735. President W. Bay Irvine explained that Marietta College accumulated last year an operating deficit of $45,000, despite stringent economies and vigorous efforts at fund raising, making the tuition increase necessary.
He also said that no tuition increase has been made at Marietta since an increase of $50 a semester in 1946. Since that time, the cost of living has increased by 41.5 percent.
The growth of operating expenses a student last year amounted to $735 on a budgeted cost. However, with tuition and fees averaging $460 a student, the student paid only 62.5 percent of the actual cost of his education.
