Dust Blots Out Sun On Plains
-Kansan Photo by Hank Brown
Chicago, March 7 - (U.P.)—Dust storms blotted the sun over much of the Great Plains today and cool conservation experts warned that another Dust Bowl might develop unless rains come soon.
Fierce winds whipped up the fine, sifting soil of the plains and visibility over large sections of Kansas was cut to less than 50 vards.
The dust storms were moving eastward and southward after throwing a hazy curtain over wide areas of eastern Colorado, southern Wyoming, eastern New Mexico, and northern Texas and Oklahoma. Soil conservation experts said frankly that they feared another Dust Bowl such as developed during the 1930's. They blamed the poor soil conditions on lack of moisture.
Wheat and cattle ranchers who became wealthy during recent lush crop years watched the dust clouds with considerable fear.

The Jayhawkers must defeat Kansas State or be eliminated from all chances to win or share the title.
KU Captures K-State's Prize Wildcat
By KEITH LESLIE
Oklahoma City had its leopard and Kansas State had its wildcat, but the wildcat, like the leopard, has escaped and is now in custody in Lawrence.
The wildcat, unlike the test, was aided and abetted in its escape by an enthusiastic group of 50 to 60 K.U. students. A spokesman, who refused to identify himself for obvious reasons, said that the 35 pound feline was taken from the campus of K-State about 11:30 p.m. Monday
"We encountered no difficulty, in fact it was a giveaway," the abductor said. "They evidently weren't expecting such a move."
"He is being well cared for. We want everybody to know that we are not harming him in any way. We plan to give him back to K-State at the game tonight, because he is no
house-cat and doesn't exactly smell like a rose!"
The spokesman commented that they wished they had had a jayhawk to leave in return, but unfortunately none were available.
"I think he likes his new home. He is growling contentedly right now, but we won't have any use for him after today."

Student Injured As Fire Damages Delta Chi House
Forty-two students early today were forced to jump or slide down ropes and sheets to safety from their third-floor rooms at the Delta Chi house. 1245 West Campus road.
The 42 men were sleeping in the dormitory when heavy smoke fumes began coming up from the basement storage room. The students tied sheets together and hung ropes from the windows to escape.
John L. Grisby, Jr., business junior, received rope burns from sliding the rope. He was treated and later discharged from Watkins Memorial hospital.
John Neely, engineering senior,
