Wetwood Disease Poses Threat To Water-Soaked Campus Elms
Elm trees on the University of Kansas campus may be more susceptible to wet-wood disease this fall because of recent heavy rainfall, according to Harold Blitch, landscape architect and supervisor of buildings and grounds.
An overabundance of rain doesn't necessarily cause the disease, Biltch said Monday, but excess rain can contribute to a spread of the disease within trees.
"Wetwood disease is a bacterial disease in the interior of the tree," he said. "It's an overabundance of liquid, which results in a pressure build-up. This excess pressure quite often results in a split at the weakest point of the tree.
Bilch said he didn't think the amount of rainfall would have a profound effect on the
"Right now we put drainage tubes in the split. The tubes drain the fluid away from the tree, because the substance that drains out can kill the bark."
"The main reason leaves change color is the longer periods of darkness the leaves are subjected to," Biltch said. "The longer nights in the fall trigger the growth of corky bark, and the new leaves increase the increased growth chokes off the flow of water and nutrients to the chlorophyll cells."

present but are masked by the more dominant chlorophyll cells, show through.
Bilchit said he thought the KU campus didn't have enough trees that were particularly colorful and that he would like to oak and maples planted on the campus.
"One thing the rains have done is spurt the growth of the corky cells and thus speed up the processes required for leaves to turn colors," said Bitch.
The campus has species of trees that don't lend themselves to a great deal of color in the fall, Bitch said. Walnut trees don't produce good color and bass and crab apple trees defoliate almost immediately after they change color.

IMPEACH RICHARD NIXON?
The Rule of Law Must Be Protected
The President of the United States has fired the distinguished constitutional lawyer, Archibald Cox, who was directing the prosecution of the Watergate principals, because Cox refused to stop the investigation when the trail of evidence led to Nixon, himself. Elliott Richardson, the Attorney General, who promised a "no strings attached" prosecution, and who is one of the most
honest and capable men in the administration, resigned because he would not go against the law and his own promises. Deputy Attorney General Ruckleshares resigned rather than accept Nixon's instructions to interfere with the legal process. Nixon is refusing to abide by the law of the land and must be held accountable.
Many citizens of Lawrence have already signed the following statement, directed to the Kansas Congressional Delegation—Will you join them????
"We the undersigned citizens and residents of Kansas are deeply concerned with the constitutional crisis precipitated by the President's actions in the past few days. The Congress of the United States is the only body which can make the President accountable before the law and the people. We urge you as our representatives in the Congress to support the initiation of impeachment proceedings against Richard N. Nixon, and to take other necessary steps to restore rule of law in the Executive Branch of our government."
