BUT ONE need not invade forests to find out what the winter weather will be like. Scientist
Joe Egleman, KU meteorologist, said this weather would probably be similar to last month's storm.
Long-range weather predictions are difficult to make. Eagleram said, but there are signs that the United States is getting warmer.
"Some shifts in the jet stream are bringing the cold air down from the North Pole," he said. "There is no indication it is going to stay like warm weather, but the cool winds of three and four years are."
Record low temperatures were recorded throughout the area yesterday. The mercury dropped to 39 degrees in Wichita, 36 degrees in Kansas City, Mo., and 34 degrees in St. Joseph, Mo.
George Byers, curator of KU's entomological museum, said weather forecasting methods such as woollybird predictions probably were not much better than guessing.
ALTHOUGH THE WOOLYBEAR has been used as a weather prediction device for years, evidence now exists that there is no direct connection. We know that the severe of the coming winter. Byers said.
He said the belief that the thickness of animal fur could predict weather was also unreliable.

Mark McKee, Overland Park junior, said he recently subscribed to MCI service for both his high school and college.
"My phone bill last month was $240," McKeen said. "I decided I to do something."
He said that although he had not been billed by MCI vet, he thought it would be economical.
MCI yes, he thought it would be济蒙ed.
Betsy Wayne, Prairie Village junior, said she decided to subscribe to the MCI service because she made a lot of long distance calls.
"I don't know how well it will work yet, but all of my friends are using it," Wayne said.
Elvin said MCI serviced over 200 major metropolitan areas, and with surrounding areas the network comprised approximately 4,000 communities, towns, and suburbs.
Elvin said the MCI service wasn't for everyone.
"A person would normally have to spend $20 to see a month on long distance to see any savings."
He said 'with MCI was not a local service but that anyone with a touchone phone, including those in the University phone system, could be able to it in addition to their local phone service.
Elvin said that people had two service choices: a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week service, and a "super saver" service that gave the best rates for round-trip airfare from 4 a.m. to 10 a.m. and from 4 a.m. to 10 a.m. Mondays.

Today, in Wichita. NCR means the very latest minicomputers and peripherals.
In short, NCR means an opportunity to grow. To excel. To help shape the future of an organization that in little over 10 years has become one of the world's largest computer companies.
As well as an opportunity to be in the forefront of these and other significant ongoing development areas.
NCR means everything from microprocessor chips to mainframes. And being part of a company that puts as much emphasis on software development as it puts on hardware development. It means contributing, not to isolated components, but to total systems — integrated, working solutions to specific customer needs
