Rainfall Hits Much of State
TOPEKA — (UPI) — A far-flung section of Kansas was hit early yesterday by light showers that could slow the wheat harvest, according to the U.S. Weather Bureau.
The weathermen said the showers hit hardest in the northeastern part of the state, and southwest to Dodge City.
The biggest rainfall occurred at Horton in the early morning hours. It amounted to 1.08.
Other towns that had measurable rainfall were Topeka .06 of an inch. Lawrence .10, Lecompton .13, Wamego .03, Manhattan .14, Salina .25, Lindsborg .08, and Dodge City .01
Wednesday was the hottest day of the year so far in most of northeast and central Kansas. Extreme temperatures ranged from 100 at Garden City to 94 at Olathe. 100 was the third this year for Garden City.
"It is not doing violence to the United Nations and is giving expression to countries with like interests." Chancellor Murphy said at a press conference here.
The chancellor returned Tuesday from London, where he was one of 30-delegates to the Atlantic Conference. The objective of the conference, which marked the 10th anniversary of NATO, was to bring together those not directly associated with NATO to see if it had achieved its purpose and was still necessary.
Chancellor Murphy said the conference wants countries other than the United States to play a more significant role in help to underdeveloped countries.
"Other countries should put their shoulders more vigorously to the wheel."
The conference set up plans for an Atlantic Institute where "thinkers" discuss how to communicate. The Chancellor said the institute will be an intellectual board of directors for NATO.
"The institute will make it possible to carry out a long-range program for underdeveloped countries. It will ease the American burden or at least make the American dollar go further. America cannot go on by itself," he said.
The conference included four committees and several subcommittees. Chancellor Murphy served on the subcommittee dealing with the Atlantic Institute.
Outdoor Film to Run Tonight
The film, "Ancient World of "Egypt," will be shown at 8 tonight east of Robinson Gymnasium. The outdoor movie is a part of the recreation program planned for summer students. In case of rain, the showing will be moved inside.
Comes the Heat Wave and On with the Shorts
The KU mode of dress seems to have gone from caps and gowns to shorts and frowns in the two short weeks since commencement.
With the advent of Band Campers the more sedate style of dress has given way to the exuberance of youth. In hot weather the general idea is to wear as little as possible. Untroubled by the chains of so-called collegiate style, the youngsters have let comfort dictate the style.
Bermuda shorts and sandals suddenly have given the campus the appearance of Coney Island in mid-July. The absence of sand leaves some of the girls undaunted as they trudge bare footed over the slopes of the "play ground (in regard to band camp) of the Midwest."
Some of the more conservative students seem to frown upon the hot weather garb, possibly this is due to an affliction called "knobitus" which makes leg's look like they were constructed to be covered.
However, this has not stopped some of the less modest males. Not to be outdone, some are exhibiting bony knees left exposed by bermudas. While they don't improve the scenery, they do look cool.
What's surprising is that college women seem to have taken the cue from the uninhibited campers and are joining the comfort band wagon.
Frowns are sometimes noticeable as they try to figure what the style is. But as the summer session wears on, no doubt the frowns will fade on their faces as they enjoy comparative comfort during "swelter time in Kansas."
BEATING THE HEAT—Virginia Blair, Belton, Mo., (left) and Anne Shantz, Kansas City, Mo., wear the latest for hot weather.
Only one of eight KU men interviewed this week was not in favor of the "weaker sex" showing dimpled knees in Bermuda shorts. The question: "What do you think of women wearing Bermuda shorts to summer classes?"
Paul Viets, Independence senior: "I haven't observed too many. It seems a very practical solution to the summer clothing problem."
Jon Holman, Larned senior: "I think it's in reasonably good taste, but I would limit it to summer school."
George Weems, Neodesha sophomore (he was wearing them): "I think it's fine—they're much more comfortable and cooler. It should not have an adverse effect on learning."
Walt Brauer, Bonner Springs junior: "I think it's all right. They'd be more comfortable with them on. Short shorts are something else."
Griffith Price, Lawrence special student: "I don't think it should be done. For boys all right, but girls, no. The class is a more formal atmosphere."
George Detsios, Lawrence first-year law: "I think if they want to wear shorts, and they're comfortable in them—let them."
Dale Peterson, Paola freshman: "You ought to be more casual in the summer, and you might as well be comfortable."
Rick Wurtz, Lawrence junior: "It's all well and fine if they're comfortable. I rather enjoy the spectacle. It's the only thing you get free on this campus besides water."
