Sudden Cold Weather Barrage Catches Students by Surprise
The wind isn't only whipping around the corners of buildings, it's whipping through coats and brings a stinging red color to student's cheeks.
Some Lewis Hall students even find the heating units in their rooms are unable to combat the cold air as it whistles through the windows, and some units gave out all together. Girls wander up and down the halls asking, "Do you have any heat?" while others huddle in blankets in their rooms studying or put on two or three sweaters to keep warm.
Some of the girls refused to comment on the weather as "it would be unprintable."
ONE GIRL CAME in the front door at Lewis wearing bermudas. When asked about her attire she replied, "Yes, it's a little frigid outside even if the wind has died down some."
Other comments were "It's cold."
"Golly it's freezing outside," and "Say when it is it going to snow." Teeth chattered and people glared at this reporter through steamed glasses or fur lined hoods as they came in the door.
THE COFFEE POTS boiled merrily. The women gulped warm liquids — tea, coffee and cocoa. Doughnuts were ordered from the bakery to add to the cozy atmosphere of the people huddled in blankets.
Others did not get warm from hot drinks, but preferred to drink ice water, cokes, and lemon-limes from the vending machines. They seemed to think that as their insides cooled down they would achieve the illusion of warmness.
THE CAMPUS contained many different degrees of dress in the unpredictable wave of Kansas weather. Some students bundled up in heavy, furry, winter coats complete with
mufflers, long head scarves, ear muffs, and leather gloves. Others flaunted trench coats, short jackets, sweaters, silk scarves, and gloverless hands in the face of the 30 degree temperatures which invaded the balmy fall weather at KU.
A girl was overheard saying to her male companion that only Sunday she had been playing golf.
The wintery weather seems to have brought with it the spirit of Christmas. The decorations are up in downtown Lawrence. Women are hanging "holiday" decorations in their rooms. Signs on doorways read, "Merry Christmas." "Santa says be good," "Have a Happy New Year," and "It's time to fill my stocking — all contributions accepted."
Anti-Red Organization Planned by 3 Students
Three students have decided that they should start an anti-communist student organization.
"I believe that communism is quite a ways along in what it is trying to do in this country," William F. Gibbs, Wichita freshman, said in a Daily Kansan interview last night.
GIBBS SAID:
"One of the most effective ways to combat communism is to do it on a local level by having groups to study the communist theories and ideologies. In this way individuals will gain a better understanding of what the United States is up against in its fight against the communists. The group would achieve its aims through films, literature and open discussion.
SUPPORTING GIBBS in his effort to organize the group are Rae Ann Davis, and Ronald J. Reed, both Wichita freshmen.
The three students attended meetings this past summer of the John Birch Society in Wichita. It

Leaders' Conflict At Red Summit
LONDON—(UPI)—Diplomatic dispatches reported today strong indications of coolness between Soviet and Red Chinese leaders during the Red summit conference in Moscow.
The reports said the entire Red Chinese delegation was absent from a gala Moscow performance of a Ukrainian culture and art festival last week which was attended by all other summit par-
Friday Is Final Entry Deadline For Miss Santa

On the occasion, Poland's Communist Party chief Wladyslaw Gomulka and East Germany's Walter Ulbricht were given front seats. They have been among Khrushchev's staunchest supporters at the summit.
By contrast, Communist North Viet Nam's President, Ho Chi Minh, was spotted in a back seat. He was understood to have been veering towards Peiping's tough line.
These symptoms of inner friction between Peiping and the Kremlin coincided with a new sharp attack from Moscow on those communist factions which believe that a nuclear war would not be fatal.
Peiping is known to hold this view, believing that of Red China's 600 million population, a sizeable proportion would survive.
Meanwhile, the Red summit mystery was growing.
The Moscow magazine "International Affairs,"made this significant rejoinder:
A number of developments in the past few days have suggested that the communist conclave has ended. Some delegations were known to have returned to their respective countries. Khrushchev also has cabled messages of thanks to satellite leaders for their support of his co-existence policy.
Diplomatic reports hinted that a group of Communist leaders are still in Moscow, drafting a communique of the summit decisions. This group will have a difficult job because it would have to paper over the fact that the Sino-Chinese conflict has not been resolved.
"War would mean the destruction of the more active, capable and civilized parts of mankind."
Dean Waggoner Has Not Decided
Dean George R. Waggoner of the College, after returning from his trip to the University of Oregon, said last night he has not been offered the presidency of the west coast school and was not sure he would take it if it were offered.
Dean and Mrs. Waggoner flew to Eugene, Ore., Nov. 20 and returned Wednesday.
According to a United Press International report, he is the leading candidate of three being considered for the post vacated last spring by Meredith Wilson, who now heads the University of Minnesota.
Dean Waggoner said:
"I like no place better than KU. The story about my going out there should never have happened. It was a case of the newspapers in Eugene being very enterprising with the school's affairs."
Dean Waggoner journeyed to Eugene last June for an interview by the Oregon board of regents and said this trip was merely further interviewing.
