That Blows An Ill Twister
It's a still wind that blows-up a tornado.
It's A Still Wind-slow moving affair that can be outrun by a car.
That's what the book says about those whirling storms that are the bane of the Kansas and Oklahoma areas. Tornadoes usually occur in the afternoon of a spring or early summer day, when the air is still and humid. As long as there is a strong prevailing wind, you don't have much to worry about—so it says in the book.
Citizens of Kansas may be questionably proud that their fair state leads the nation in the number of tornadoes a year.
Dr. Walter Kollmorgen, associate professor of geography, explained that this area gets the lion's share of tornadoes because two main air masses meet here. The warm moist air from the gulf and the cold dry air from Canada and Alaska usually meet in combat over Kansas and Oklahoma. And, brother, that ain't good.
Twisters in this area usually move from the southwest to the northeast traveling at the speed of the prevailing ground wind. This means that the funnel is actually a rather
Near the center of the funnel winds attain velocities of 200 or 300 miles per hour with updrafts of 100 to 200 miles per hour. The diameter of the destructive portion is usually less than one-quarter of a mile.
If you have your choice of buildings to hide in, put your money on a steel enforced one. Frame buildings tend to explode when a tornado strikes because of the decreased exterior air pressure. Brick and stone structures seem to crumble when hit.
With a slide rule and an adding machine we can easily figure that the real danger at any one point on the ground lasts for only 30 seconds.
If one is in the path of a tornado, it is best to move at right angles to its course. In this area scram to the southeast on the double.
13 Initiated To Fraternity
If caught in the open one should drop flat on the ground, or seek out a nice comfortable ditch. Sewers are even desirable at times like this. It should be comforting to know that most tornadoes never hit the ground but dissipate their force in the lower cloud layers. Of course one never knows, does one?
The L. N. Flint chapter of Alpha Delta Sigma, national advertising fraternity, held its first meeting since the war Monday evening in the Pine room of the Union building.
The thirteen members initiated are Prof. L. S. Cole, Frank R. Schulthes, Calvin Arnold, Thomas Cadden, Robert Bonebrake, John Beach, William Drovan, McLintonood, John Doe, McRickwick, Glenn Stromli, William Nelligan, John Bergstrom, and Anthony V. Mura I.
Officers were elected. They are president, John D. McCormick; vice-president, Glenn Williams; secretary, Anthony Mura II; and treasurer, John Bergstrom.
Following the meeting, refreshments were served. Prof. L. N. Flint, charter member for whom the chapter is named, spoke to the group on the importance and future of advertising.
Melvin Adams, W. P. McCool, Arthur Cook, and LeMoyne Frederick conducted the initiation.
Plans were made to send delegates to a national convention in Chicago June 23 to 30.
