IT'S FALL NOW and these sunflowers appear to be dug in for one last stand. The sun has not cooperated lately, though, and the weatherman predicts more rain for today. This is a view from the west side of Iowa St. with the Daisy Hill dorms just showing above the tall grass.

Chem Professor Presents Lecture
William G. Dauben, professor of chemistry at the University of California at Berkeley, spoke Thursday night to a group of about 100 persons at the 23rd annual Frank Burnett Dains Memorial Lecture.
Dauben's lecture topic was "The Steric Aspects of the Photochemistry of Dienes."
The lecturer said that for the past 12 years he had been studying the reactions of organisms exposed to sunlight. The principles found through this primary research, Dauben said, are used to solve practical problems.
Dauben said that application of the principles was used to study whether insecticides gained or lost toxicity when exposed to the sunlight.
On a more general basis. Dauben said, the research can be used to tell what is and what is not safe to put into the air.
Columbus sailed from Palos, Spain, Aug. 3, 1492 on his first voyage to America.
Scoring in synchronized swimming is similar to the scoring system used in diving, in that each element in a routine has a degree of difficulty. The first category in scoring is how well the competitor exhibits her strokes and their execution. The second is in the manner the routine is constructed, its originality and synchronization. All routines require five stunts to be part of the execution and a background accompaniment, usually musical.
The club's first exhibition will be Oct. 30 at Robinson Natatorium in conjunction with High School Sports Day. Tryouts are still being held and all interested girls are asked to contact Clair McEroly at the natatorium or come to the natatorium next Tuesday night.
Pres. Nixon Commends Kansas St.
MANHATTAN, Kan. (UPI)—President Nixon commended Kansas State University President James A. McCain on Thursday for the tremendous reception he received last week while at Kansas State to deliver a speech for the Alf Landon lecture series.
Nixon called his reception by the college community immensely heartening because the students "demonstrated dramatically that the mindless disrupters are not the voice of America's youth, and not the voice of the academic community."
Nixon said he was most impressed with "the willingness of the students to listen, and their determination to be allowed to listen. It is this determination that will restore our nation's colleges and universities as citadels of the honest search for truth."
