Six years of growth at KU to be subject of lecture
The growing pains of KU will be discussed by Clifford Griffin, professor of history, next Tuesday at 8 p.m. in Swarthout Recital Hall.
Griffin, who has been a KU faculty member since 1959, will speak about "The University of Kansas and the Years of Confusion, 1866-1866."
Weatherman says mild month ahead
Bu JOHN KIELY
By JOHN KIELY It snowed this week and frosted last month.
That, said the weatherman, doesn't mean a long cold winter.
"The weather," said Richard Carrett, meteorologist at the U.S. Weather Bureau in Topeka, "is something we're all interested in."
While not planning to change it, Garrett talked about it. He predicted especially mild, dry and calm weather for this month.
THE DRY PART of that forecast comes at a time when Wichita is experiencing its dryest dry spell in history. This is the fourth driest year on the Topeka record books.
The central part of Kansas is, said Garrett, "getting into moderate drought conditions."
The mild part of the prediction means the temperature will be a little above normal. Normal temperatures are averages of the daily highs and lows. They vary across the state. For Kansas City in November it's 44 degrees,
in Concordia it's 42 degrees and in Goodland it's 38 degrees.
When Garrett was saying, "these early onslaughts of wintry weather," he was referring to snow, frost and storms.
"THE FIRST SNOW in Topeka occurred ten days earlier than usual. The first freeze was in October and that first hard freeze hit here on the 24th. That was around three weeks early."
The mid-October storm that hit the northwest corner of Kansas was, said Garrett, "probably as severe as they've ever had out in that part of the country. Powerlines were down. Trees were still in leaf and they were badly broken."
Weather across the nation is expected to vary this month, says Weather Bureau officials. They predict above-normal temperatures through the Northern Rockies, near normal through the Great Lakes and down into Texas. Colder weather should prevail on the East Coast with "significant amounts of precipitation."
