Someone poured a mixture of gasoline and oil on Potter Lake and set fire to it Friday night.
Potter Lake (Of Fire)
The prank fizzled, however, because most of the students were on the other side of the Campanile hill with a bonfire of their own at the pre-game pep rally.
To make matters worse (for the Potter Lake fire) the pranksters didn't use enough oil and the fire was confined to a small area of the lake. It was all over in a matter of two or three minutes. It lasted just long enough for a Kansan photographer to snap the above picture.
Allies Want Unified Reich
WASHINGTON — (U.P.) The United States, Britain and France have agreed that a unified Germany must be included in any Allied-Communist pact on European security.
On the eve of Big Three talks in New York, diplomats were very pessimistic, however, that the Allies can break through Russia's objections to German unification.
Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, British Foreign Secretary Harold Macmillan and French Foreign Minister Antoine Pinay meet in New York tomorrow and Wednesday to discuss the unification problem and other matters
which will be considered at the Oct. 27 Geneva Conference with Russia.
The Big Three also will discuss disarmament—particularly the effect of Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulgarin's recent letter to President Eisenhower on the disarmment problem.
The President was expected to reply early this week to the Bulgarian letter. The Soviet Premier accepted the President's dramatic plan for aerial photography and exchange of military blueprints but insisted these moves should be accompanied by steps toward actual disarmament.

Hall Praises Tax Change
WICHITA—(U.P.)-Gov. Fred Hall in a weekend address to the Kansas Motor Carriers Association, praised the change in the ton-mile tax formula to the fee-formula for trucks in Kansas.
The governor also promised truckers that the trucking law will be "stringently enforced" to protect licensed carriers from "bootleg truckers."
Another speaker, Neil Curry, president of the American Trucking Association, said the proposed Eisenhower policy on transportation would be the "death" of the trucking industry. He said it would turn complete control of transportation over to the railroads.

Humphrey Says Policies To Remain
WASHINGTON— (U.P.) —Treasury Secretary George M. Humphrey, in an apparent effort to counter a stock market break, said today there is "no reason to anticipate any change" in Eisenhower administration programs.
In a statement issued by his office, Humphrey said President Eisenhower's illness is a "cause for sadness, but not of alarm."
"Our policies and programs are definite and firmly established," he said, "There is no reason to anticipate any change. We will carry on curing his absence exactly as previously planned. There is no reason for others to do otherwise."
Humphrey is at Ottawa today for economic conferences with Canadian officials. He expressed concern there about the New York Stock Exchange break. After studying the reports, he told newsmen he would issue a statement when he returned here.
