A la Chamber of Commerce No, Kansas Isn't Windy
No, Kansas is not a windy state—just a little breezy. That gust of air which turns you inside out is just a draft out of control, but never a wind. Far be it for the Kansas climate—sunshiny and mild—to bear such a mar.
Of course there are some inexperienced visitors to the state who insist in their ignorance that the wind blows hard on the Kansas plains. But then California is troubled too by tourists who insist as they wade knee deep in water that it rains in California. A ridiculous assertion. We Kansans can sympathize
with the citizens of the Bear State who must endure such blasphemy.
We read in a paper from the western portion of the state the other day that a town nearby had suddenly been uprooted and transplanted several miles away from its original location. Now the unduly suspicious will be inclined to believe that this action was performed with the aid of a high wind. Such jumping to conclusions is unjustified. We have lived in Kansas for years and have never seen anything larger than a three-story bulding being propelled through the air by wind velocity. We shall wait till a legislative investigation committee correctly determines the origin of the moving force.
No, strictly speaking, Kansas is not a windy country. Truly 120-mile an hour zephyrs are not uncommon. However, we've read the wind is rather strong on top the Woolworth building too, and yet no nobody accuses New York of being a windy state.
Our blood boils every time we hear some Easterner, alien that he is, denounce the Kansas climate. The poor fish glibly babble of trees uprooted by what he describes as "cyclones." Any man of scientific training could tell him that the damage was not done by a cyclone, but a funnel of whirling air. The difference between a cyclone and whirling air is much too technical to be discussed here. For such information we refer the reader to a column written by one Westbrook Pegler, an expert on hot air and its usages.
No, we reaffirm, the Kansas climate is not a windy one. Occasionally a high wind is reported, but one can be sure that it is an alien wind having crossed the state's borders at some unguarded point. All Kansas winds are refined, and of the very best manners—some are positively shy in fact.
Persons who compilin of the Kansas wind betray an ignorance of matters in the physical world of science. They should be—pardon us, but we must interrupt this little fugue to chase our hat. This cannon' wind-guests last night at the alumni
Dreyer Leaves Hill For Naval Reserve
Dr. Robert M. Dreyer, assistant professor of geology and mining engineering, left yesterday morning for Notre Dame University at South Bend, Ind., where he will do specialized work for the United States Navy. Dreyer has recently been commissioned an ensign in the Naval Reserve.
Dreyer had been a member of the faculty for three years. During the past year he has also been working as a geologist with the geological survey. Dreyer got his A. B. degree in geology at Northwestern University. In 1939 he received his Ph. D. degree at the California Institute of Technology.

NOTICE
The following books are missing from the Gillham Collection at Watson Library. They have been taken from the building by individuals, who, rather than accept responsibility for the volumes, carried them away without signing for them. Since these books are part of a memorial collection intended to help provide recreation reading for students, their return would be much appreciated. These 31 missing titles-from a total collection of 106 titles is a high record of which the student body should not be proud. The books may be left at the Main Circulation Desk and no questions will be asked.
