Art Camp Is New Feature
Wind Hits City Damages Cars. Cuts Off Lights
The tail end of a tornado which struck southeastern Kansas moved into Lawrence about 7 p.m. May 1.
A gale-like wind, driving rain and hail, and swirling bits of debris filled the air forcing many motorists to stop and wait for safer driving conditions.
The twister ripped through a 20-mile area in northeastern Oklahoma into southeastern Kansas, killing six. The storm continued its path of destruction through Missouri, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia.
A large tree on the edge of the Pi Kappa Alpha lot was blown over and damaged a car owned by Bill P. Ogg, College junior, and one belonging to Joseph O. Schmitz, engineering sophomore. A car owned by Keith Prosch, pharmacy sophomore, was damaged at 1713 Alabama street when a large limb fell across the hood.

Lights were out in different sections of Lawrence at various times during the night. Power crews worked all night to restore service throughout Lawrence.
Electric Service Fails
About 15 trees were blown down throughout the city, police reported. One accident was reported by state police. A bus ran off the highway north of Lawrence during one of the severe periods of the storm.
Two persons were killed and five were reported injured when the twister struck the small town of Shaw, Kan., near Chanute. Archie Kinne was killed when the "black funnel" picked his house up and deposited it on the other side of U.S. highway 59. He was found on top of his kitchen floor near the remains of the house.
re Than 40 Farms Leveled
Reporters for the Chanute Tribune estimated damage to be over $500,000 in the area. They said they had seen damaged or destroyed buildings on more than 60 farms. More than 40 Oklahoma and Kansas farm homes were leveled.
The United Press reported that an eyewitness said he saw a group of houses on a mountainside in West Virginia, blown clear across a valley where they were smashed against another mountain.
Handel's "Messiah" given in commemoration of 25 years of musical service at K.U. by the director, Dean D. M. Swarthout, was presented Sunday in Hoch auditorium. It could have been called Swarthout's "day" because the chorus, orchestra, soloists, and organist all co-operated to make the program a success and to bring credit to the School of Fine Arts.
'Messiah' Is Success
The soloists Ruth Russell, Minerva Davis, E. M. Brock, and Charles Sager, former University students who have continued their voice study since graduation, handled their parts with professional skill. Jerald Hamilton, fine arts senior, added to the effectiveness of the chorus numbers with his organ accompaniment.
Several numbers of the "Messiah" that are often omitted were included in Sunday's performance. Although the chorus of 275 voices seemed to hang upon the tip of Swarthout's baton, it reached the height of choral singing in "Surely He Hath Borne Our Griefs." and "All We Like Sheep Have Gone Astra."
