Topeka twister foils safety rule
Contradicting the long-held theory that the southwest corner of a house is the satest place when a tornado is approaching, is Joe R. Eagleman, assistant professor of geography.
After a tornado hit Topeka last June, Eagleman conducted a study of 90 houses which had been in the twister's path. He found in a house without a basement, the safest place is really the north-central section.

Convocation scheduled
Two School of Business convocations will be held next week for the faculty to inform students of possibilities in the graduate and undergraduate programs.
Joseph W. McGuire, Dean of the School of Business, said the graduate program will be discussed at the first meeting at 2:30 p.m., Tuesday, October 18, in Summerfield Hall. The undergraduate program will be explained at 10:30 a.m., October 19, in Swarthout Recital Hall.
All students are welcome.
The U.S. Weather Bureau predicts fair skies tonight and tomorrow. Frost or light freeze tonight. High between 65 and 70 degrees. Winds 5 to 15 miles per hour. Precipitation probabilities are less than five per cent.
The basis for his new theory was the amount of debris collected in the various rooms of the houses. Eagleman found that the rooms on the north side of the homes had less debris and were therefore safer than the rooms on the south.
"A higher wind velocity was caused on the south due to the cyclonic rotation of the winds and the movement of the funnel toward the northeast," Eagleman explained. "This caused the south side of constructions to be more heavily battered by debris and wind."

Like most tornadoes, the Topeka twister traveled in a southwest to northeast direction.
Of the homes studied, they all had some protective area on the first floor even though they may have been severely damaged.

"The Difficult Hour III" was produced this summer by Cornell University Theatre. Other campus productions are expected in the future.
Lagerkvist, "most translated of all contemporary Swedish authors has been translated into 34 languages. His drama has been comparatively neglected, however,
Buckman, who went to Sweden in 1947 for graduate study, received his master's degree in Scandinavian studies from the University of Minnesota.
Buckman said he was first attracted to Lagerkvist's work not
only because he is a major Scandinavian dramatist, but because "he had once been an angry young man of his own day, in the 1920's."
Lagerkvist has been an influential writer and critic since 1918 and is number 13 on the list of world's most-translated authors.
