Ole Man Winter Brings Dismay
By Thomas Hough
The year's first snow brought a howl of anguish early this morning from a resident of Oread Hall, the converted - army - barracks men's dormitory beside Memorial Stadium
Clad in pajamas, the fearful student flopped along the linoleum hall in a pair of worn- loose-fitting loafers. He charged into the snow and jerked up the hood on his car.
A finger in the radiator brought a moan of dismay.
Race Begins
"Ch God, slush," he said.
Sprinting back into the dormitory, the student descended upon a sleepy neighbor and dragged him out of bed.

Docking Mum On Survey
TOPEKA — (UPI)— Gov. George Docking had no comment today on a proposal from the Kansas State Teachers Assn. that he call a special session of the Kansas Legislature to take up recommendations in a KSTA school survey.
"Kansas is ultra-conservative and a backward state in terms of finance for education. We are in a very serious downward spiral."
Dr. Puth Stout, director of field programs for KSTA, indicated what the tone of the school survey might be when she told teachers.
The teachers asked yesterday that the session be called immediately following the January budget session of the legislature.
The study, which was started in 1957, will be completed in December.

Owner Reports
The car owner reported:
"I read the paper last night. It said the low would be in the upper 30's."

The student with the car said he doesn't have time to install anti-freeze this week, but intends to see about it Saturday.
His neighbor vowed he will keep his door locked in the morning.

Prize Awarded To Noel - Baker
OSLO, Norway —(UPI)— Philip Noel-Baker, a British Labor party member of Parliament who has campaigned vigorously for world disarmament for more than 30 years, won the Nobel Peace Prize today.
The Norwegian parliament awarded the prize, which carries a cash award of $42,602, to the 70-year-old elder statesman of the British Labor Party without listing a specific reason for his selection.

He was instrumental in founding the League of Nations and was one of the earliest members of its Secretariat. He also was a moving spirit in founding the United Nations.
He was a British delegate to the first and second U.N. General Assembly sessions, part of the long list of international peace-making and disarmament conferences in which he took part.
