Weather Or-
Like Birds, Lawyers Migrate And Whistle
By PAT SWANSON
(Of The Daily Kansan Staff)
Birds have migrated north to spend the summer, and lawyers migrate south to spend the noon hour.
To the dismay of most every coed who must pass by the statue of "Uncle Jimmie Green," she is met with a barrage of shouts, laughter and songs.
Just where this tradition of heckling by-passers arose seems to be lost in history. Perhaps it began when the new law building, Green Hall, was completed in 1905.
In October 1926, Dean H. W. Arant of the School of Law announced to the Daily Kansan that "many complaints and criticisms have been directed against the school for the horseplay between classes. New regulations have been adopted to abolish the practice of congregating on the steps."
The new regulations shorten the period between classes to five minutes.
This ruling was enforced for only a few years before the lawyers voiced their complaints. Between-class time was lengthened again to ten minutes.
HAYWARD, Calif. — (UP) — A huge 4-engined Navy seaplanet, the Trade Winds, with 16 persons aboard crashed today in shallow waters of San Francisco bay a half mile off the Hayward coast.
Now the tradition is so time-honored that only bad weather can drive the lawyers away from their post on the steps of Green. There they have been since the early 1900's and there they are bound to stay for generations to come.
The U. S. Coast Guard reported that all 16 persons escaped. They were taken aboard two liferafts dropped from the disabled plane and a Coast Guard helicopter.
Plane Crashes;
16 Escape Death
There was no immediate report as to the extent of injuries, if any
The plane, piloted by Cmdr. E. B. Binkley, took off on a "local flight" from its base at the Alameda Naval Air Station at 10:10 a.m. PDT. It crashed 40 minutes later at 10:50 am.

Presidents To Hear Murphy
Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko charged before Russia's Parliament that the Western powers "consistently oppose and underbermine efforts to reach agreement" on disarmament. In a report on atomic tests, he reiterated that Russia will continue to produce nuclear weapons and guided missiles as long as there is no agreement banning them.
MOSCOW—(UP)—The Supreme Soviet resolved today to appeal directly to the American Congress and British Parliament for an immediate end to nuclear test explosions.

Noisy Eggs Scare Coed
Coeds in a scholarship hall were having a housemeeting in their basement council room late one evening. The phone shift girl repeatedly left the room to answer the phone.
Finally she asked the coed next to her to start answering it, without explaining that she had been hearing strange noises and was afraid of a prowler.
When the meeting was over, a pungent odor filled the basement. "My eggs," cried one of the coeds as she ran down the hall to her kitchen.
The phone shift girl soon found that the strange noises were caused by hard boiled eggs exploding in a burnt pan.
