UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
NOVEMBER 26.1946
Little Man On Campus
By Bibler
"He got his start in a tavern in Missouri."
He's 'Bill' On Week Days; Rev. Streib'On Sunday
Being pastor of a country church calls for many things besides two sermons every Sunday, even though the pastor is carrying 17 hours of college work.
William Streib, 21-year-old College junior, as pastor of the Evangelical United Brethren church at Stull, 12 miles west of Lawrence, in also janitor, wood chopper, director of the choir, editor and publisher of the church bulletin, custodian of the church silverware, and chaperon of young people's gatherings. He must make frequent calls on members of his congregation of 125 and they prefer that he call at meal time. A recent call on a farmer found him behind with his evening chores so Streib lent a hand by pitching two loads of hay into the haymow and milking five cows.
He became a licensed minister at 19 and when the regular pastor had to be away, preached at the Bellevue Evangelical church in his home community near Leona. Soon he was assistant pastor of the Zion Evangelical church near Leona and last May accepted his present charge. He will be ordained after five years of experience and three years of seminary.
"To some in my congregation I am the 'preacher boy,' to others, 'Brother Bill,' and to still others 'Rev. Streb.' But on the K.U campus I'm just 'Bill.' he maintained. Not only the young folk but parents with children as old as he, and gray-haired deacons come to him to discuss personal problems.
Besides a salary well in excess of the customary one for beginning preachers of his denomination, he is kept abundantly supplied with meat, pasteries, and other goodies which are left on his kitchen table while he is at school.
"They really have adopted me," he said. "About all I have to buy is milk and cereal."
He is frequently reminded that the seven-room parsonage was built for a family and that as soon as he marries redecorating and a new gas range will be in order. The young folk say they have cow beds ready for the charivari and Streib considers that they may have occasion to use them next spring. His fiancée is a Leona girl. When he first moved into the parsonage the church wo-
ment frequently found excuses to make inspections. Apparently satisfied that he is a good housekeeper, they have quit inspecting, he said.
Dames Postpone Meeting
The K. U. Dames' meeting, originally scheduled for Wednesday night, has been postponed until Dec. 11. Meeting plans will be announced later.
Hitch-hikers To Find All Roads Clear
Veteran thumbers disagree on the best post to catch a ride. One school holds with the intersections of highways 40 and 24, one miles beyond the Kaw river bridge. Others claim that they have better luck by simply standing on the Kaw bridge and loking wistful.
The state highway department reports that all roads are clear. So potential K.U. hitch-hikers, if they can brave the cold, have possibilities.
All are agreed on one point.
Ear muffs and gloves are necessary.
'Blue Sky' Law May Trip Lewis
Richmond, Va. (UP)—John L. Lewis was booked today for an appearance before the Virginia Corporation commission Monday to answer a complaint that his United Mine Workers union violated the state's "Blue Sky" security law by selling union memberships.
The commission's order, issued late Monday, ordered Mr. Lewis to appear Dec. 2 to show cause why the commission should not restrict him from sale of union memberships as unlicensed securities.
Fines up to $5,000 are possible for violation of the "Blue Sky" security law. If the commission should rule that the sale of each membership constituted a violation, the union could be fined $5,000 for each of its 12,000 members in Virginia, or a total of $60,000,000.
Juvenile Authorities Hold Confessed Slayer Of Boy
Kansas City, Mo. (UP)—Baby-faced, 17-year-old Frances Katherine Wanstreet was returned to juvenile custody today after dictating the story of how she drowned Ross Key, Jr., an eight-year old neighbor boy.
The boy's body was taken yesterday afternoon from the ice waters of the Blue river, 21 days after Frances told police she led the crippled youth to the water's edge and pushed him in.
Polio Reaches New High
Topeka (UP)—A new high of 1,006 cases of infantile paralysis in Kansas during 1946, as compared with the previous high of 761 in 1943, was reported today by Dr. C. H. Kinnamman, state epidemiologist.
The number of cases in the state in the last week dropped to 12, Dr. Kinnaman said, a decline from 25 the previous week. It pushed the count for November to 45, a new record.
U.S., Russia Refuse Troop Compromise
Lake Success. (UP)—The United States refused to compromise on the proposed United Nations troops inventory today and waited for Russia to give ground.
There were no signs of Russian concessions as Soviet Foreign Minister Viachelsav M. Molotov pushed his proposal for a census of all allied armed forces and bases on foreign soil.
The Americans expressed hope that Foreign Minister Molotov would agree to extend his proposal to include troops at home, including uniformed members of "military type organizations."
From Schnectady, N.Y., comes a new secret weapon that may mean more to George Sauer, football coach, than the atomic bomb meant to Douglas MacArthur.
Let's Snow Those Missouri Tigers Under!
At Schnectady, an airplane flew into a moist cloud, dropped six pounds of dry ice pellets, and for the first time in history created real man-made snow.
Bombardier To Pilot:
The snow fell for half a mile before evaporating in drier air. Under the right conditions, however, scientists, say the man-made white stuff could easily fall all the way to the ground.
It's 2:30 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day.
Under a cloudy sky the University
Jayhawkers face an overpoweringly
massive Missouri line. Even E. C.
Quigley is biting his nails.
How could Coach Sauer use that trick?
Listen:
But out of the northwest comes an airplane with a "Beat Missouri" sign on the outside and 100 pounds of dry ice on the inside. It dives into a low-hanging cloud—and presto! Snow falls like Niagara.
By the start of the second quarter the gridiron is six inches deep in slush. The Tiger line, which previously couldn't be stopped by a brick wall, now can't cross the line of scrimmage without snowshoes.
Meanwhile, the light-footed Jay-hawkers, proved mudders, skirt end in quadruple reverses, hurl 60-yard passes, stage 6-man laterals, and otherwise romp to an overwhelming victory.
You're right, it is a little far-fetched.
But, with or without the aid of magic, local predictions are that M.U. will be "snowed under."
