6-Inch Snow Storm Ties Up Traffic, Causes 2 Accidents
Students walked single-file along uncleared sidewalks to 8 o'clock classes this morning, yelling an occasional "mushi" to each other along the way.
The snow, which the sheriff's office said was 5 to 6 inches deep, caused traffic tie-ups and two automobile accidents in which no one was injured. In some places the snow drifted to a depth of 8 feet.
Although traffic has been light on the campus today, several cars were stuck in snow drifts. Fewer cars were attempting the snowy, slippery grades up the hill.
A car owned by James Murray, journalism senior, was struck by a driverless car which started sliding down a hill on the road west of Lindley hall, campus police reported. The owner of the car has not yet been identified.
Another accident occurred when an unidentified person could not get out of a parking place in the free section west of Lindley hall. He solved his problem by releasing the emergency brake on the car parked in front of him, owned by Robert H. Kunkelman, engineering senior. Kukelman's car slip down the hill and turned over in the ditch at the bottom of the hill.
Watkins hospital would release no information on whether any students had been hurt by slipping on the ice or in accidents.
Highways are clear but not safe, the sheriff's office reported. Many students living in outlying communities depending on country roads have been marooned
Because of the low temperature, which dropped to
6 degrees last night in Lawrence, many persons found it impossible to start their cars.
The buildings and grounds department has augmented the regular maintenance squad with the garden workers to get the campus sidewalks and streets cleared as soon as possible.
Busses and trains are making their regular runs out of Lawrence.
Elsewhere in Kansas, scores of bus and airline schedules were disrupted through the night by the frigid snow blasts and low visibility.
Two persons have died as result of the storm, which Tom Arnold, Kansas weatherman, called the worst of the winter and the worst in three years in eastern Kansas.
Many of the state's larger cities were crippled by the storm. In Kansas City cars, busses and street cars in the downtown area came to a virtual halt shortly after 3 p.m. when traffic was swollen by employees who were allowed to leave offices and stores early to give them more time to travel home.
All public schools in Jackson, Clay and Johnson counties were shut down because of travel conditions and many other schools over the state were closed.
At Topeka a 7-inch snow held traffic at a standstill. Many corporations and businesses reported only a handful of employees were able to get to work.
The state highway commission pressed extra equipment into operation to clear major highways.
The low temperature during the night was 3 degrees below zero at Goodland and Hill City.

ROBERT A. MOLGREN
Molgren is a graduate of Carleton college, Northfield, Minn., and received his master's degree in hospital administration from the University of Minnesota medical school in 1948.
"The University of Kansas Medical center is quite fortunate to obtain Mr. Molgren as administrator," Chancellor Murphy said. "His training and experience fit him unusually well for one of the most responsible positions in the entire University of Kansas structure.
"I am confident," Chancellor Murphy continued, "he will fill as well as anyone can the tremendous void left by the tragic death of the able and beloved Charles B. Newell."
