Kansas Weather Keeps 'em Guessing
Once again the well-worn phrase "If you don't like the Kansas weather, just wait and it will change" is proving itself. After getting a real good look at wintery weather, KU is once again seeing sunshine with temperatures expected in the 50's tomorrow.
ver five inches of rain was $ ^{\circled{8}} $
Over five inches of rain dumped on Lawrence yesterday, the largest one day total since 1949. Winds which reached 80 miles an hour whipped across Mt. Oread.
Three elderly persons and a teenage girl were hospitalized at Kansas City when they were blown down by high winds.
The Ottawa area, struck by a tornado yesterday is bracing itself to meet the threatening waters of the Marais Des Cygne river which is expected to crest four feet above bankful tomorrow night.
Highway crews spread cinders and kept drifts off major transportation arteries as the 27 to 30 degree temperatures caused ice to form rapidly.
At Russell, walls for a new high school were demolished for the second time in two months. Strong winds Sept. 25 blew them down earlier this fall.
Highways remained open in the western Kansas blizzard area yesterday due to quick work by the highway department.
Western Kansas began today digging itself out of snow, as much as 10 inches in some areas, which fell Sunday and Monday.

Effigy of Woodruff Found This Morning
The national wave of effigy hanging arrived at KU early this morning. A paper-stuffed dummy was found swinging from a tree near Flint Hall.
The effigy wore a sign which read;
L. C. Woodruff Ph.D.
HUNG
Without a Trial
By KU Students
The effigy was apparently a protest against University suspension of three students accused of painting TNE signs around the campus and Lawrence Homecoming weekend.
An anonymous phone call to the Daily Kansan office at 12:30 a.m. called attention to the effigy.
The effigy, wearing a hound's-tooth suit, plaid tie and white shirt, was hauled down by campus police.
The lettering on the sign and the face drawn on the effigy were neatly done, indicating a person with an artistic talent.
Effigies have been hanged this fall at Kansas State College, Michigan State College, Ohio State University, and several other schools throughout the country.
See editorial, page 2. The Dummy.
At K-State last week there were numerous effigies and counter-effigies of football coach Bus Mertes and of "alumni."
A cardboard dummy was found at KU last week hanging behind the clock in Blake Hall, but there was no sign with it. This morning's "hanging" is the first effigy directed against an individual at KU this year.
Police Chief Joe Skillman said this morning that the Campus Police are investigating the effigy hanging, but as yet they have no information as to the identity of the "lynchers."
Graduate Plans Balloon Flight Hope Dims for Boy
John D. Strong, class of '26, along with Navy Commander Malcolm D. Ross, will soar 80,000 feet into the sky in a high-altitude balloon, carrying a telescope for a close-up observation of the planet Mars.
The postponed balloon ascent will be made from the Strato-Bowl near Rapid City, S.D., as soon as weather permits.
The sealed and pressurized gondola in which the two men will make the 15-mile air-climb contains a 16-inch telescope through which Dr. Strong will make sightings on Mars.
Dr. Strong said research conducted during the flight will be concerned primarily with determining the water vapor content of Mars atmosphere. Examination of the planet's atmospheric conditions may show whether Mars can support life,
closer to solving the mystery of the so-called "canals" which some astronomers say criss-cross the planet. Other astronomers believe the "canals" are merely optical illusions.
The flight also may bring man

West Tries Again at Geneva
GENEVA — (UPI)— The West made another attempt today to keep alive the East-West talks on preventing surprise attacks but every indication was that the conference was a failure.
The West, in an effort to block Soviet attempts to turn the talks into a cold war political battle, handed over a detailed list of modern weapons by which surprise attacks could be launched and asked that they be discussed.
At the same time, Italy's P. E.
Taviani, chairman for the day, rejected on behalf of the West the Soviet proposal for a ban on flights of atomic and hydrogen bombs over the high seas and the territory of other states.
The Soviets revived this proposal yesterday. The West said it already had been discussed and rejected outside the conference and that Russia's attempt to reintroduce it was merely another move to turn the conference into a political parley.
Dr. Strong is a world famous experimental physicist and was awarded the Frederic Ives Medal "for distinguished work in optics" by the Optical Society of America in 1956. He is a professor of physics at Johns Hopkins University.
In 1933 the KU graduate gained international prominence in the field of astrophysics by developing a process for coating telescope mirrors with aluminum. The method is now used on practically every large telescope in the world.

Hope Dims for Boy Scouts on Mountain
TUCSON, Ariz.—(UPI)—Hope that three thinly-clad Boy Scouts, exposed to hip-deep snow and without food, are alive practically vanished today when rescuers reached a lonely cabin high on Mt. Baldy and found it empty. *
The ranger cabin was the goal of the three youngsters last Saturday when they set out to climb the 9,000-foot mountain in the Santa Rita range, only to get trapped in the worst snowstorm in southern Arizona history.
Finding the cabin bare, 150 rescurers on horseback, snow shoes, skis and in planes, did not give up completely. They now are concentrating on the posifolia the boys found one of several abandoned mines in the area and "holed in."
Another theory was that the boys might have mistaken a fork in the trail at Josephine Saddbe and chose the path that leads in the general
direction of the town of Patagonia. Deputies said there are several shacks in that area the boys might have found shelter in.
Most discouraging to the searchers was their failure to sight smoke. The boys had matches. But, without a fire, rescuers believed the boys would surely perish in the deep snows.
Meanwhile, the other three scouts who started out on the hike and mountain climb with the lost trio, only to give it up because they were tired, were returned to their Tucson homes. They said they were alive only because two of them got too tired and the third joined them in withdrawing to a base camp rather than continue the climb of Mt. Baldy.
