When Tornadoes Are Lurking-
Whistle Is A Warning
If the KU power plant whistle should blow four short blasts, pause, and then blow four more, get indoors and stay away from windows, because the whistle is a warning that a tornado is in the vicinity.
because the whistle is a warning signal. When these conditions are prevalent the ordinary precautions should be taken, according to Howard Lindley, director of Civil Defense in Lawrence.
In a Daily Kansan interview Sunday he explained that a tornado usually travels from southwest to northeast and the southwest corner of a basement affords the best shelter.
"If you are inside a building, get next to an inside wall to have protection in case the building eaves in." he recommended. "Don't stand by a window—you might be sucked through it by the pressure created by the tornado."
by the Toronto Police Tornado warnings to the University are handled by the Lawrence Police Department, he said.
Warning From Topeka
Warning from Topeka "The warning goes by teletype from the Topeka weather bureau to the police station," he explained.
"The police inform Civil Defense, the only agency having the authority to order that the whistle be blown. A secret code is used to tell whoever is in charge in the University power plant at the time to blow the whistle."
Mr. Lindley said that no building at the University is especially safe in case of a tornado, but that residents of Sunnyside, which is "kind of fragile," should go to the Military Science Building if one should strike.
"Tornadoes usually originate from severe thunderstorms," he said.
"When cold air from the north overrides hot air from the south and both combine with a stream of moisture from the Gulf, the hot air goes up and the cold air down. A turbulence results, and the twisting and turning becomes a tornado.
Alert Not a Warning
Alert Not a Warning Many persons are confused about the meanings of "alert" and "warning," he said.
"If the possibilities of a tornado exist, there is an alert," he explained, "If the tornado is on the ground a warning is given. During an alert, the best thing to do, especially if the weather looks bad, is to listen to the local radio station or watch TV for information."
He said there is small chance of getting hit by a tornado, but that "it is always good to know what to do."
Bend No Safeguard
Bend No Safeguard
He described as a "witch doctor's saying" the belief that a town situated in the bend of a river cannot be hit by a tornado.
"There isn't anything a tornado won't do" he said. The hill in Lawrence affords little protection against a tornado, which can strike anywhere, anytime."
Student To Run For Judge Slot
From Law School to judge of a probate court in five months is quite a step.
Robert Pinet. Lawrence thirdyear law student, has filed as a candidate for probate court judge of Franklin County and hopes to make that step. The court is located in Ottawa.
ROBERT PINET
If he is successful in the August primary and the November general elections he will officiate over cases involving wills, commitment of insane persons to institutions, and other cases in the jurisdiction of a county court.
Finet, a Republican, has been a probate officer in the Lawrence juvenile court.
Daniel Hosson Jr., assistant dean of the School of Law, says there is nothing particularly unusual about Pinet's candidacy.
"It was a little more unusual the year we had a girl file for the position of probate court judge and win," he said. The girl, a 1953 graduate, is probate judge of Ford County.
"We usually have several graduating students file for the office of county attorney," he said. So far no one has filed.
Beer Could Help Emergency
LONDON—(UP) —Britain's home office has told brewers bottled beer is not affected by radioactivity—as long as radioactive dust is wiped off the bottle.
The Burton-On-Trent brewers intend, in the event of a hydrogen bomb attack, to send bottled beer to areas where water reservoirs have been contaminated.
Since 1955 Argentine map makers have changed the names of almost a thousand places involving the name "Peron."
KU Is One Reason Callery Built Here
One of the main reasons the Callery Chemical Co. chose Lawrence as the site for its $4 million plant was the service and cultural advantages KU could offer.
Plant manager R. G. Schmidt said at a press luncheon Saturday that the company has already made use of and is planning to send more of its personnel to special courses at KU.
Of primary use to the company. Mr. Schmidt said, would be the research facilities of KU's scientific departments. He said the company came here because of the research facilities at KU and at the Midwest Research Institute in Kansas City, Mo.
Raymond Nichols, executive secretary of the University, said, "It will give faculty members an opportunity to get-up-to-date information on industrial operations at the plant, and there may be consulting opportunities for some
graduate students, too."
"We are glad to help promote industrial development in the state," R. O. Brewster, chairman of the chemistry department, said. The department has made temporary loans of equipment and supplies to industries in the past, he explained.
The plant has already borrowed some material from the chemistry department. Along with research under contract, the libraries at KU could prove invaluable for scientific study, he said.
Mr. Schmidt said plans are being made for management of the plant to attend the summer executive conference held during the summer session at KU.
Also some personnel have attended for two weeks and will continue to attend University Extension courses concerned with labor relations.
Applications for the positions of editor and business manager of the 1959 Jayhawker should be filed by 5 p.m. today with Raymond Nichols, chairman of the Jayhawker Advisory board and executive secretary of the University.
