TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER—They say, if you don't like the weather in Kansas, stick around a day or so, and it will change. As Jeff Quinsey, son of Robert L. Quinsey, chief of the KU Reader Service, depicts, Saturday was a fine day. However, Kansas weather shown through true to form as Sunday's storms preceded fair weather on Monday.
Professor's Article On Urbanism Printed
Dr. E. Jackson Baur, associate professor of sociology, is the author of an article in the current issue of the Midwest Sociologist.
The article, "An Index of Urbanism for the West North Central Region," describes a statistical instrument for measuring the degree of rurality or urbanization of counties in the middlewestern and plains states west of the Mississippi river

All Cities Are Sexy
"Now, you take M-i-n-n-e-a-p-o-l-i--s . . . a lovely sound. You can give it lots of breath. You can give it lots more inflection than you can, say, Newark or Detroit. Los Angeles is another sexy name. Generally, if you can string the name out, it sounds more sexy.
Still, confessed Miss Thurman, the South does not have a monopoly on sexy cities. "Almost all the cities are a little sexy," she said. "But some are more sexy than others."
Conditions vary, too, said Miss Thurman. "A very unsexy condition is clear," she pointed out. "What can you do with 'clear'? But 'fog' is
Miss Thurman, a Midville, Ga. peach with a voice like runny ice cream, is the gal who delivers the weather patter on NBC Radio's "Monitor." She has been known as "Miss Monitor" since June, 1955, when the weekend show was uncorked.
While most weather-spielers deal in prediction, Miss Thurman goes them one better. She deals in promise.
"Well, yes, there is a kind of sex in my voice, I suppose," said Tedi as she dipped her eyelashes to half-mast. "Southern girls generally have sexier voices. They have a kind of languid quality. They're not in a hurry . . . know what I mean?"
Davis Again Head Of Mammalologists
Dr. W. B. Davis, professor of wildlife management at Texas A. & M. College, was re-elected president of the American Society of Mammalologists at the 37th annual meeting which ended last week at KU.
NEW YORK — (UP) — Red-haired Tedi Thurman stacks up, if that is the word, as the only weather broadcaster who actually affects temperatures. She sends them climbing.
The 150 scientists, among whom were several from foreign lands, voted to hold their 1958 meeting at the University of Arizona in Tucson.
Other officers chosen for the coming year were: vice presidents, Dr Stephen D. Durrant, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, and Dr. Robert T. Orr, California Academy of Science, San Francisco; corresponding secretary and treasurer, Dr. Bryan T. Glass, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater; and recording secretary, Dr. Randolph L. Peterson, Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, Canada.

a wonderful word and I just love 'thunderstorm,'"
"Partly cloudy' I like better than 'cloudy.' I don't know whether it's sexier, it's just that it gives me more to say."
The 28-year-old Miss Thurman, a former model, is the frequent recipient of letters inspired by the come-hither vapors she expells. "They ask me to marry them and things like that," she said vaguely.
Receives Letters
Aside from proposals, there are other compensations in her job, said Miss Thurman: she is permitted occasionally to ad lib. Perhaps her favorite tag-line was a sign-off that went:
"Dallas, 82, clear . . . St. Louis, 84,
partly cloudy . . . and contrary to
public opinion, my own temperature
is 98.6."
On Eastern U.S. Tour
John McCann, Shawnee senior in civil engineering, was in Middletown, Ohio last week to begin a six-weeks tour of major construction projects in the eastern U. S.
The winner of a Armco Summer Civil Engineering Scholarship, McCann was selected from 150 junior and senior engineering students in ten different universities for the 5500 Armco Drainage and Metal Products' scholarship and the expense paid tour this summer.
During the next six weeks he will travel through 18 eastern states in the company of an Armco representative. Interviews have been arranged in advance with state highway officials and consulting engineers on such projects as the new Massachusetts and Connecticut turnpikes and the Calumet Skyway which leads into downtown Chicago.
Tim Harrison, director of AD& MP's college program, is their host for the first two weeks.
Ground Broken For New Plant
Ground was broken in Lawrence Friday for Callery Chemical Company's second new plant in the Midwest.
The $4 million plant will be equipped to produce boron specialty chemicals for commercial use as well as HiCal, the company's new high energy fuel for jet aircraft and missiles. Callery also is building and will operate for the Navy a $38 million high energy fuel plant at Muskogee. Okla.
E. G. Sanner, Callery president, said construction plans for the new plant are moving along on a schedule which should place the plant in production early next year.
Callery is utilizing only a 40-acre section of a 200-acre plot for the new construction which will consist of 11 buildings and four chemical processing areas. Each processing unit will be situated on a one-acre site and will be capable of doubling its capacity within the one-acre area. The remaining acreage provides substantial room for general expansion.
Sanner said the plant "will be the world's first fully integrated plant for the commercial production of boron specialty chemicals and will employ 150 people."
There are 969 accredited universities and colleges in the United States.
