Town dedicates monument
McLouth celebrates centennial with parade, varied contests
Amos McLouth probably never imagined that the plaque he hammered onto a bridge almost a century age would become part of a monument in 1982 for McLouth, the town he helped to establish.
And Amos would never have foreseen a bare-breaks contest or people jumping frogs, racing turtles, drawing guns and other acts to celebrate McLouth's centennial July 3.
Ambos bought some of the lots where the city now stands Feb. 6, 1822, said State Rep. Robin Leach, D-Linwood, at the dedication of the centennial monument in a McLouth park. McLouth is about 25 miles north of Lawrence.
Mayor Martin McAfferty said that a time capsule with newspapers and other memorabilia from the centennial year was behind the monument later this year.
"We feel that this shows our conflation in the future of our town," McAery said. "Our descendants will witness the fitness the opened 100 years from now."
Dan Crouse, McLouth, said he enjoyed the parade "and just getting together with a lot of people who you don't get to see very often."
People were clustered in the shade of trees and buildings to keep cool in the 90-degree temperatures, but about 600 people did not for the celebration in spite of the heat.
Volunteers waited in line to plunge into a dunk tank, which was one of the three largest in Wichita.
A parade preceded the dedication.
"I think I've got more dunkers than I've got throwers right now," said Mike Bamberger. McLouth, who was in charge of the tank.
Other aquatic sports included a frog-jumping contest.
One of the winning frogs, Frederick, was re-named Speedequen by its owners. Ron and Kathy Scott, McLouth, after winning the jumping contest.
"Since he's the winner, he gets to on exhibition down at the bank next week," said Joe McAlery, Mlouth.
Air conditioning has been turned on in most buildings on campus and in buildings in Lawrence owned by the University of Kansas.
cheered her turtle to victory. Her father, Clifford Weeks, said Corissa "took him out and played with him in play" to get him warmed up "for the race."
Five coffee cans were lined up with photos of legs beside them for the bare-leg contest. To win the legs contest, you need to garner money in their coffee can.
"I don't know who is who," said John Kimberlin, McLouth. "The only thing I can say is that those two have been in the game together in quito and chigger bits on their legs."
The contests included a turtle race, a surfing contest, and backs. Wildly yelling Corissa Weeks
Other contests included jumping rope, sack races and a quick-draw contest.
Ahhhhh, air conditioning has returned.
Air conditioning returns
THE PSYCHOLOGY Laboratory will have air conditioning by the beginning of the fall term, William Hogan, associate executive vice chancellor, said yesterday. Administrators are also reconsidering their original decision not to have Robinson Gymnasium completely air-conditioned. Hogan said.
Five buildings remain without air conditioning; the dog lab on West Campus, the old bank building at 746 Massachusetts St. the old post office building at 510 Lexington Psychology Laboratory at the KU Garage and all areas in Robinson Gym
Air conditioning was discontinued in 34 buildings May 10 because of a $939,799 deficit in appropriations needed for utility costs from June 30.
Many people preferred to sit and talk with friends. One such person was Beauley Shead, McLouth, who dressed in a scarf, garb and talked with other residents.

Burge retires from Union director post
"It's been one of the biggest things that's happened in my 53 years," she said.
Burge, 60, who in 1921 began a 30 year career as the Union's first full-time director he thought it was time to start taking things a little easier.
Frank Burge, director of the Kansas Union, announced June 28 his plans to retire at the end of the year.
in 1970, Burge had it rebuilt better than before in less than one year, Warner Ferguson, associate director of the Union, said.
Burge saw the union through four additions and the conception and realization of the Satellite Union.
"Frank is the director of the entire Union operation; the buck stops at his desk," Ferguson said. "He sets the tone for the operation."
AFTER FIRE GUTTED the Union
Burge has been recognized as one of the best student union directors in the nation. He was the first employee to be selected as KU employee of the year, several years ago.
David Ambler, vice president for student affairs, said. "He worked to make sure the Union responded to the needs of the students. This is a reflection of the love that he had for the students and the community."
"It requires a certain savvy to get along with students," Raymond Nichols, chancellor emeritus, said. "I don't know how he works and faculty takes real know-how."
FERGUSON SAID that Burge had lent many students money and had helped them with their personal
problems. He also got along very well with the student government and its leaders.
"Replacing him is not going to be easy. He did more than one man could be expected to do."
