TURNABOUT—Lawyers going to 8 o'clock classes today in Green hall were on the receiving end of ogling and calling out. The co-eds were waiting on the steps when the surprised lawyers arrived. The April fool's joke reversed for one day the tradition of showing admiration for the passing campus beauties with whistles and wolf calls. The lawyers have experienced reversals on the steps of Green hall before. In
1948, the Daily Kansan reported the law students, crowded on the steps of the law building, were pursuing their favorite occupation when two buxom maids wearing sweaters came strolling their way. All lips were pursed in unison, and a long, loud whistle echoed over the campus. As if responding to a cue, the gals whipped out twin water pistols, and very effectively dampened the boys' ardor.

Blowing Dust, Big Rains Open Showery April
April bowed in with one of the worst dust storms on record and a cold snap that dropped temperatures as much as 30 degrees in the Midwest.
Winds died somewhat over five southwestern states where a "black blizzard" spread massive dust clouds 400 to 500 miles wide and 14,000 feet high. But the silt still clogged the air today and may take several days to clear.
Though most Midwestern weather has been stormy, Kansas will have a few showers in the east and central areas today. The western end of the state will be warmer and clear.
Southeast Kansas will have some showers tonight. The high temperature today will be in the 50s with a low tonight from 30 to 40 over the state.

The big storm front also touched off lashing thunderstorms, possible tornadoes, hail, and dirty snow before it blew itself out over most areas.
For some farmers, the storm was a boon. Kansas wheat fields got soaking rains—more than an inch at Russell during a six-hour period.
10 to Visit Monterrey
The cold wave dropped temperatures 20 to 30 degrees in the Great Plains and brought falling temperatures to parts of the Midwest, but summery temperatures were moving in behind the cold front.
An exchange of Christian ideals on the international level is the goal of eight students and two faculty members at the University who will spend a week in Monterrey, Mexico during spring vacation under the auspices of the Roger Williams Fellowship, Baptist student organization.
Part of the group will leave the campus tomorrow by motor car for Monterrey. The rest will leave Saturday. They will return April 7.
The trip is this year's spring study tour, a project the organization conducts annually for better understanding in international relations. Last spring the group visited Washington, D.C., and t h e United Nations general assembly.
The Rey. Klein will conduct and the rest of the group will participate in Palm Sunday services April 3 at the First Baptist church of Monterrey.
The Rev. Ernst Klein, Baptist minister to students and an assistant professor in the school of religion, said the trip should give many of those attending a greater understanding of the attitudes of the Mexican people.
Guides for a sight-seeing trip in the immediate area of Monterrey will be students at the Sarah Hale student home for girls, a Baptist mission in the city.

Col. McCormick Dies in Chicago
Chicago (U.P.)-Col. Robert Rutherford McCormick, editor and publisher of the Chicago Tribune and one of the most controversial journalists in American history, died today. He was 74 years old.
The publisher, whose vigorous editorial campaigns made him one of journalism's most colorful and important figures for almost half a century, died at his Cantigny farm near suburban Wheaton.
Col. McCormick's death ended a two-year struggle against a combination of diseases. He took a turn for the worse last Tuesday and lapsed into a series of comas last night.
"The Colonel," as he was known in Chicago, died a little more than 24 hours after the passing of another of the nation's great journalists, Joseph Pulitzer, editor and publisher of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
