student tables. From the 55 items, two separate pieces of information are reported every week. One is a list of prices for about half of the individual items surveyed. The other is a "market basket" total covering only the items which were found in all ten stores.

Kansas Cleans Up After 24 Tornadoes
The National Weather Service was counted only 59 September tornadoes in Kansas since 1916, but in the past two days there have been 24.
Rescue workers in Clay Center found the bodies of five tornado victims yesterday when they probed the soggy wreckage of the small town.
The area devastated by the tornadoes is from the Elsworth area in central Kansas through Salma and Clay Center to linebeast and Hanover near the Nebraska river.
The tornado hit Clay Center while many of its residents were watching television pictures of twister damage at Salina, about 50 miles to the southwest.
Along the two-block business district of Greenleaf only a dental clinic was left.

Docking reported that the tornado path was very definable from the air. He said it could be followed even into the countryside by twisted trees.
Docking said he would make every effort to see that any available relief was obtained.

Gov. Robert Docking inspected the storm-damaged areas by car and helicopter yesterday and described damage as "very, very severe."
Moving out of the south, the Greenleaf twister ripped a path four blocks wide through the town, which is about two miles north of Kansas Highway 148. On the north edge of town it scattered debris that punched a hole in a tank containing amphibious ammonia.
Residents no sooner emerged from basements after the twister passed than they were hustled from the town because of the gas.
Two hundred and forty faculty members were nominated for the HOPE Award Tuesday and yesterday, according to Roger Anderson, the director of the chairman of the HOPE Award committee.
The field was narrowed to 25 candidates last night by the committee. Faculty members chosen were those with the most nominations, but Borel said consideration of other students for the different schools and the number of teachers nominated from each school.
Borel said the turnout of seniors to vote, 40, was heavily in spite of the rainy weather.
25 HOPE Award Candidates Announced
"I was very pleased with the results," he said. "There were twice the number of nominations this year in comparison with last year."
Seniors will be able to vote for five of the 35 during the primary balloting, which will be at the regina party, 3 to 5 p.m. Friday in Regina on March 16. Seniors who join Union. Senior jerseys will be passed out to
Seniors who do not have class cards but who wish to vote for the HOPE Award will be able to do so for a 50 cent privilege fee. Seniors are given ten cents to vote on the final ballot in November.
The gasoline shortage has affected almost everyone from tourists to truckers, but it hasn't affected the operation of any Lawrence city vehicles, according to George Williams, director of public works in Lawrence.
Nominated professors are: Allan Cigler, assistant professor of political science; Donald Daugherty, associate professor of electrical engineering; J. Eldon Fields, associate professor of nursing; Forer, assistant professor of social welfare; James Gohl, associate professor of speech and drama; N. Ray Hiner, associate professor of education and history; Clifford Ketzel, professor of political science; John W. Roberts, professor of mechanical engineering
Gas Shortage Hasn't Affected City Vehicles
"We were one of the few successful cities in getting our in bid," he said. "We contracted for our gasoline with American Oil Company, and our contract is effective until next March."
The city faces no gasoline shortage now, he said recently. And he speculated that it might be a result of the war.

Cities in Kansas became alarmed about the shortage after hearing of the seriousness of the gas situation in Topeka. The mayor of Topeka recently made plans to reduce services in all departments until it could locate a new source of gasoline.
*Our price is based on the market price and from this market price we receive a discount.
Topeka's gasoline contract expires Sunday, and the city has not received any bids for gasoline for the six-month period from Oct. 1 through April 1, 1974.
The city of Lawrence uses approximately 10,000 gallons of regular gasoline and 20,000 gallons of ethanol.
According to Ethan Smith, director of finance for the city, the city's cost for gasoline had increased from 21.1 cents to 21.6 cents a gallon since March 1.
Smith said that the recent increase was not nearly as drastic as last year's nine cent increase.
Although the city is not alarmed about a gasoline shortage, Williams said, there is always the possibility that the city supply is jeopardy because of a company shortage.
"We really haven't conserved on gas yet," he said, "but we told our employees to be more cautious about running their vehicles excessively."
