Break Causes Water Shortage At Sunflower Sunflower students went without coffee and shaves this morning. Despite a heavy downpour outside, no water was being piped into apartments. mours. A 12-inch water main located at Sunflower ordance works broke about 2 a.m. today. Maj. Alan C. Johnston, commanding officer, said the main serviced the central heating plant at the ordance works and supplied water to Sunflower village. "We are doing our best to remedy the situation," Major Johnston said this morning. "In the meantime until the trouble is repaired, a 500 gallon tank truck will be kept in front of the Sunflower drug store to furnish water for emergency purposes and drinking." "I was lucky, though. My wife made me a cup of coffee by melting ice cubes," Mr. Lamonica chuckled. "But as yet, I haven't been able to get a shave." John L. Lamonica, Sunflower housing manager, said that he had been up since 2 a.m. doing what he could to help the situation. The housing manager said the average family in the 1500 unit village ordinarily uses about 160 gallons of water a day. This would bring the total consumption for a normal 24-hour period to 240,000 gallons. "Consumption is high because of the large number of children here," Mr. Lamonica said. Nies-Berger Gives Recital By JAMES W. SCOTT Edouard Nies-Berger, organist of the New York Philharmonic-Symphony orchestra, presented a varied and colorful recital to his audience Sunday in Hoch auditorium. Mir. Nies-Berger was at his best in "St. Francis Talking to the Swallows" by Marco Enrico Bossi and "Pastorale" by Marie Joseph Erb. He achieved beautiful effects with these two selections which were probably the high points of the recital. The program was presented chronologically, beginning with "Prelude and Fugue in G-Minor," by the 17th century composer, Girolamo Frescobaldi and ending with "Toccata," by the contemporary American composer, Leo Sowby. "Toccata in F-Major" by Johann Sebastian Bach drew the greatest applause from the audience, although the rhythm was somewhat unsteady. Mr. Nies-Berger is an organist o the emotional type. Using practically every stop and effect on his instrument, he delivered a recital which seemed to please his audience. Daily Kansan Election Poll

Thomas E. Dewey for president and over three to one in favor of amending the state constitution to permit the sale of liquor. Influenza Shots Start Wednesday They also favor, by almost two to one, an amendment to raise the salaries of state legislators. Influenza vaccinations will be offered to students, faculty and University employees by the Health service beginning Wednesday. The shots will be given at stations in Marvin hall, Frank Strong rotunda, Union lounge and Watkins Memorial hospital, as part of the preventive medicine program of the Health service. Vaccination is being offered to provide effective protection before Thanksgiving, when an influenza epidemic may normally be expected. Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the Health service, said there is no impending epidemic now. Experience with mass vaccination in 1947-48 proved that it was highly effective in an epidemic. About 56 of every 1,000 non-vaccinated students had influenza, while less than 13 of 1,000 vaccinated students had it. The vaccine protects against four strains of influenza virus, but does not protect against common colds. Protection develops in ten days and lasts 60 to 90 days. Persons who are allergic to eggs should not take the vaccine. Guest Talks To Sigma Xi After visiting the Midwest Research institute; Dr. C. B. van Niel, professor of microbiology at Stanford university, will address the faculty and students of the University of Kansas hospitals in Kansas City, Kan., today. Dr. van Niel, a circuit speaker for Sigma Xi, the Scientific Research Society of America, will arrive in Lawrence tomorrow to address the local chapter at 8:15 p.m. in 305 Bailey laboratory. He will be guest of honor at a dinner in the East room of the Union after attending a seminar on biological processes and discussing problems in anatomy, bacteriology, botany and biochemistry. Dr. van Niel, a native of Holland, received his degree from the Technical university at Delft. He joined the staff at Stanford university in 1928. An authority on photosynthesis, Dr. van Niel, will lecture on "The Comparative Chemistry of Photosynthesis," according to Dr. J. O. Maloney, secretary of the local Sigma Xi chapter. Dr. Homer B. Latimer, president of the University chapter said the lecture will be open to the public. Clergyman Urges Dry Law Repeal He termed the state's prohibition amendment a measure which made hypocrites of those who were unwilling to help enforce it. He made the remark during morning services at the cathedral Sunday. An Episcopal clergyman has urged that Kansans repeal the 68-year-old dry law. He is John Warren Day dean of Topeka's Grace cathedral. A University Daily Kansan poll shows 63 per cent of the students will vote for Dewey, or would if they were of voting age. A total of 77 per cent of the students favor the repeal of the prohibition amendment, and 67 per cent favor raising the pay of state legislators. The poll was set up by the University Daily Kansan with the assistance of the bureau of government research to insure a representative cross-section both male and female students in all schools, classes, and income groups were interviewed. About four per cent of the students were polled. Poll-takers were warned by the government research group against relying on the results. Environmental background, interviewer bias, incomplete cross-section, and the "band-wagon effect" were listed as being the most probable reasons for an incorrect result. Sophomore women gave the largest percentage to Dewey, 86 per cent, while the junior men gave Truman the highest vote, 41 per cent. Wallace received the majority of his votes from the sophomore class in the School of Engineering. His total for the university, however, is only 3 per cent. The repeal issue is issue among senior women, who are 92 per cent in favor. Sophomore women were against repeal by 43 per cent. In conducting the poll, several interesting points came out. For example, the rather heavy vote for Wallace in the School of Engineering baffled the polltakers. The School of Pharmacy went four to one for Truman, for no apparent reason. The College, against early predictions, is strongly Dewey, and the School of Business is split about even. The School of Fine Arts showed the highest Dewey margin, 10 to 1, while the journalists are more or less undecided, being divided 50-50. According to the latest United Press figures, the University students will vote on the national election in about the same percentage as the vote for the state. Women, on the whole, favor Dewey by 70 per cent, while men give him a 60-40 advantage. Women, in a surprise vote, favor repeal by 71 per cent with the men 10 per cent higher. Women are more generous with their money, as they favor rising legislative salaries by a majority of 73 to 27. Men are more thrifty, as only 64 per cent favor the amendment. Fifty-five geology students at the University of Kansas will make a field trip to the Tri-State mining area and into southern Arkansas. The trip will begin tomorrow and last through Sunday. 55 Geology Students To Make Field Trip Dr. Robert M. Dreyer, chairman of the geology department, will be in charge. The field trip is required as part of Dr. Dreyer's mineralogy class offered each fall. After studying the lead and zine fields in the Missouri-Kansas-Okla- homa area, the students will inspect the bauxite, aluminum bearing ores, and quartz crystal deposits in Arkansas. The group will make overnight stops in tourist cabins for which advance reservations have been made.
