IBM to Help Sell Jayhawker
The Jayhawker staff expects to sell several hundred yearbooks during fee payment days, said Earl N. Garrett, Olate the senior, editor.
After Saturday Jayhawkers will cost $6.30.
"More than 1,300 Jayhawkers were sold during enrollment." Garrett said. "That is more than sold during any other enrollment period."
Under a new system students will receive a Jayhawker IBM card in Strong Hall basement immediately before paying their fees. Those wanting to buy a Jayhawker will mark that card and present $6 in addition to their fees to the cashier. In return they will get a Jayhawker card allowing them to receive all issues of the yearbook.
Garrett's administrative assistants include: Linda Gump, Wichita sophomore, assistant editor; Sheila M. Ryan, Aurora, Mo., sophomore, party
pictures editor; Barbara A. Cukatij
Arma, associate editor; Jan C. Walters,
Lincoln, copy editor; Virginia

editors-all juniors.

'Wedding' Tickets Selling Steadily
Tickets are selling steadily for "Member of the Wedding," the University Theatre's first show of the season.
"We've sold about three-fourths of the tickets so there are still some seats left," said Lewin Goff, theatre director, "but students who wait until Friday to get their tickets will be too late."
Make-up Placement Tests Tomorrow
All new students who have not taken placement examinations must do so tomorrow and Thursday.
The tests will be held at 2 p.m. tomorrow in the Kansas Union Ballroom and at 2 p.m. Thursday in the Jayhawk Room of the Union.
'Gracie' Strikes Carolina Coast
Any new undergraduate student who has not taken his tests by next Thursday will have his enrollment canceled.
CHARLESTON, S.C. —(UPI) Hurricane Gracie, packing a punch of up to 140 miles an hour, bulldozed its way into the mainland just south of here today, killing at least one person and causing widespread damage.
Charleston streets were a dangerous no-man's land of slivered glass and a crazy network of fallen power lines. Some streets held two feet of water. The city was without electricity. Hospitals and emergency rescue units switched to standby generators.
A noon weather bulletin placed the storm a short distance inland from Charleston on the southwest side of town. That was between Hunting Island and Edisto Beach. It was moving toward the northwest at 14 miles an hour in the direction of Walterboro, Orangeburg and the South Carolina state capital of Columbia.
The wind velocity, as expected, dropped somewhat as the storm hit the United States land mass. It was down to a steady 120 miles an hour but still highly dangerous.
Hurricane emergency warnings were flying from Savannah to Wilmington and gale warnings from Morehead City, N.C., to Brunswick, Ga.
By 11 a.m. winds in Charleston were down to 50 miles an hour and Savannah had gusts at that hour of 65 miles an hour. Tides in Charleston were nine feet above normal.
An unidentified man was killed at Beaufort, S.C., when a limb smashed down on his car but no other deaths or injuries were reported. Plenty of advance warning was the life-saving keynote. Beaches for hundreds of miles up and down the shoreline between Savannah, Ga., and Wilmington, N.C., had been evacuated.
The weather bureau said rain of up to 15 inches would fall over the eastern two-thirds of the Carolinas late today. Local flooding conditions were anticipated.
So vicious was the storm's fury that parts of buildings in this old port city crumbled and masonry crashed to the streets. Roofs were peeled back like the tops of sardine cans.
Health Plan to Be Sold This Week
Students may make arrangements for the Blue Cross-Blue Shield health insurance plan in the fee payment line. Annual dues are $17.25 for an individual student and $97.25 for a student and dependents. Dues may be paid in two installments. Deadline for enrollment in the plan is October 8.
Jim Austin, Student Council President said, "This health protection supplements the services of the Student Health Service and provides enough additional hospital-medical surgical benefits that the student who enrolls in the plan will have almost complete coverage."
No physical examination is required for the program. Coverage is retroactive to October 1. Expenses paid by the plan which are not included in the regular student health fee include diagnostic X-rays, prescription drugs, surgeon's fees in accordance with an allowance
schedule, up to 365 days of general nursing and hospital care for general illness or accident, and maternity care for dependents on an allowance schedule.
This coverage is in effect until Oct. 1, 1960 whether or not the participant is in school. The coverage can be adjusted to fit the insurance plan of a private corporation.
Students covered under the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas family plan are protected to age 21.
Weather
A little cooler east and central portions tonight. Wednesday partly cloudy and continued cool. Low tonight 30s in the northwest and 40s elsewhere. High Wednesday 50s in the west to 60s in the east. Chance for local frost in northwest Kansas tonight.
Where Are Those Bicycles Coming From?
By Ray Miller
As far as Lawrence merchants are concerned, the numerous bicycles seen on the KU campus are being pedaled in from outer Mongolia.
In a survey yesterday, three out of four Lawrence bicycle merchants said they have had no increase in sales.
The exception was a firm which reported that college student sales doubled during the past month. Sales "surged" from four to eight bikes.
The survey, however, does not give an accurate picture of how bikes are acquired.
Among these is a new form of larceny known as bicycle piracy. Junior's gimmick-covered pride and joy is missing — swiped by an eager brother or sister.
There are other ways of acquiring bicycles.
Grade Schools Alerted
Unofficial sources indicate that the word has been passed to local grade schools to double lock bikes left unattended.
Rumors are also being spread that cyclists have organized and are forming a "Society for Equal Rights Under the Traffic Code."
Persons who know the power of organized groups on the campus give assurance that this move will result in a membership surge which should give the group a total of 20 members by 1963.
Undoubtedly a large pressure group is behind this administrative headache.
In a recent news article it was reported that certain bicycle companies have been pushing an extensive "back to school on a two wheel jewel" campaign.
This is an obvious move to counter sales by home reducing companies which have been selling wheelless forms of back-bone-crackers which resemble a chopped and channeled bike.
Opposition Expected
These pressure groups will obviously meet with opposition from the administration.
Outside of parking accommodations is the problem it will face in regard to traffic regulations.
Regulations will have to be enacted to restrict bikes from drag racing on side walks.
Speed limits will have to be set in hallways to curb late class-goers.
Aid stations will have to be set up on 14th St. hill to aid incoming traffic.
A COMMON SIGHT—Bicycles are becoming a valuable means of transportation on campus. A possible problem in future years may be the bicycle parking problem-with parking tickets issued by campus police of, course, for delinquent parking.
