Cadavers First Sunnyside Residents
(This is the first of a series of three articles on the Sunnyside Housing Project.)
Built on a graveyard for cadavers the Sunnyside Housing Project may soon exist in memory only.
Hungarian Speaks Here Next Week
A former finance minister of Hungary will describe what life in the United States would be like if communism or socialism were to replace free enterprise.
Nicholas Naradi, who fled communist dominated Hungary in 1948, will speak at 10 a.m., Oct. 21, on "Shall We Survive." The place for the lecture will be announced later. Mr. Naradi is presently Director of the Institute of International Studies, Bradley University, Peoria, Ill.
Mr. Nyaradi has written several books on communism and has served as an adviser to the federal government.
Ten of the original 31 units will remain after wreckers finish leveling the 13 bartrack-apartment houses on the west side of Illinois Street. A 14th unit will be converted into storage space. Nine units, presently occupied by student families, are to be leveled next year.
Has Colorful History
But long after the buildings are destroyed, vivid memories will remain for some of the former students — and some of the present faculty.
After World War II, KU was flooded with students. Desperate for housing, the University asked for government aid. The government's answer was Sunnyside — surplus army barracks imported from Camp Barkley, Tex.
The government stipulated that only veterans could live in Sunnyside the first year, KU restrictions stretched further. This was the ultimatum delivered from the housing bureau:
"Student applications will not be assigned to Sunnyside until the crucial housing shortage (for faculty members) is over."
FOR GENUINE CORDOVANS BY WINTHROP
When the weather turns brisk and colder . . . it's time for Genuine Cordovans to come on the scene. Our Winthrop Cordovans have that traditional classic "Brawny" look that takes so well to Cordovan and the season!

the WINNIPROP FALL FASHION SHOWCASE
Workmen carefully stacked the bones, excitedly commenting on the split skulls.
The assistant curator rushed to the excavation. He carefully knelt and inspected a skull (which was neatly sawed in half), shrugged his shoulders, and returned to his office.
Could it be an Indian burial ground, found frequently in this area? Was this the site of a notorious roadhouse similar to the one owned by murderer Kate Bender?
ARENSBERG SHOES
Also available with plain toe.
The superintendent of buildings and grounds was immediately summoned. News of the discovery reached the assistant curator of the Museum of Natural History.
Then construction stopped with a shout in Sept, 1946, when workmen spaded up parts of several human skeletons.

The bones, he told excited workmen, were anatomical specimens probably carried out and buried by a janitor before KU received its incinerator in 1926 for disposing of cadavers.
The need was urgent. Some faculty members were living in patched-up stone-and-brick, unheated garages.
Enrollment Soared
KU's reasoning was simple:
In 1945 enrollment "neared 3,800." In 1947 8,800 students were tramping through the grass and mud of Mt. Oread. Faculty members were given priority because the student increase meant hiring additional instructors.
Omar Khayyam writes a new jingle
Old Omar has come up with another corker of a couplet. Freely translated from the Persian:
It's what's up front that counts If it hasn't got it there it hasn't got it
True, the lines don't scan. But what do you expect from a tent-maker—the perfect rhyme of "Winston tastes good like a cigarette should"?
We'll admit that something may have been lost in the translation. But when it comes to Winston, nothing is lost in the translation of rich, good tobacco taste. That's because up front of a pure white filter Winston has Filter-Blend—a special selection of mild flavorful tobacco specially processed for filter smoking.
Winston is designed to taste good.
Or, as Omar puts it:
The Moving Lighter lights;
and having lit,
Flicks off. Then you draw on IT,
And bit by bit smoking pleasure mounts;
With Filter-Blend up front,
Winston's got what counts!
