WATER. WATER EVERYWHERE . . .
Whether or not it will ever stop raining is a question Randy May, Wichita senior, ponders as he sees his reflection on a rain soaked Jayhawk Boulevard.
'67 KU Previews began Thursday
Incoming KU freshmen will get their first close look at the campus this summer during eight KU Previews, the first of which began Thursday.
The two-day gatherings, which may draw up to 2,000 students, accurately portray at least one part of University life; the schedule is full, and there are lots of new people to meet.
While on the campus, previewers take the two half-day placement examinations, confer with personnel deans and academic deans, complete medical histories and physical examinations, and get their identification photos and cards made. Some also will take foreign language proficiency examinations.
Enrolled in the first session are 160 men and 167 women.
SOMETHING NEW has been added to the 13-year-old Preview program this year. Students planning to enroll in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will pre-enroll during the preview period, according to Max Fuller, assistant director of admissions and Preview director.
Also included in the schedule is free time for personal arrangements about housing, financial assistance, military training and other problems. Socially, previewers will meet other freshmen during their stay in air-conditioned Hashinger Hall, and will attend a "get acquainted" dinner and
program in the Kansas Union ballroom.
RESIDENT DIRECTORS for the summer sessions are Bill Robinson and Deanell Reece.
Assisting them as counselors are Kay Plumlee, Judy Cady, Candy Williams, Janet Bath, Jo Durrand, Gayla Webb, John Hill, Ken Long, Lee Bittenbender, Jerry Cochran and Bob Detter.
Previews are intended to lighten the counseling and paperwork load during the fall orientation week in September.
All previews are scheduled for Monday-Tuesday and Thursday-Friday dates. The schedule: June 22-23 (332 pre-registered), 26-27, 29-30; July 6-7, 10-11, 13-14, 17-18, and 20-21.
Don Ramsey is representing the housing office.
WEATHER
Increasing cloudy skies is forecast for today by the U.S. Weather Bureau, with precipitation probabilities at 20 percent. Highs Friday around 90, lows tonight in the upper 60's.
Major flood threat leaves Kansas again
Waters were receding again today after a three-inch rain in Lawrence Wednesday put rivers and streams over their banks once more.
Hardest hit in Wednesday's rain were the east central parts of the state. Topeka and Junction City both recorded over five inches of rain. The small community of Neosho Rapids reported 7.47 inches.
Major flooding was reported on the Marais des Cygnes, Wakarusa, Neosho and Cottonwood rivers.
Flash flooding was reported in the Topeka area and at Hays, where the first major crests of the 1951 flood were felt. Water was reported receding in both these areas.
ARMY ENGINEERS promised slowly receding waters for flood- weary Kansas and Missouri residents today, provided no more rains fall for a day or two.
The two-state floods took a second life, that of 8-year-old John Burke who fell into rain-swollen Wildcat Creek at Manhattan, Kan. An Independence, Mo., man drowned earlier.
The Wakarusa River tumbled into Richland, Kan., isolating that community near Topeka, but the waters were predicted to ease up today. The community of Wakarusa, Kan., also was isolated.
The Army said it had reports that high waters of the Missouri River were forcing evacuation of residents at St. Charles, Mo., near the confluence with the Mississippi River.
THE MISSOURI River was flooded in many sections across the state of Missouri as well as in regions to the north. The Army repeated however that there would be a slow receding of about one foot daily if rains halted.
Heavy rains up to 2 inches fell Wednesday night in eastern Misa-
Freshman waits LSD sentence
A KU freshman faces a prison sentence up to four years and a fine up to $4,000 for the sale and possession of LSD here.
He pleaded guilty to four charges for the possession and sale of the hallucinatory drug after being charged before Judge Frank Theis in a U.S. Federal Court in Wichita.
Ted Alen Adams, Topeka, was arrested May 19 in Ellsworth Hall where he lived by U.S. Marshal Vance Collins. At that time he was charged with the possession, sale and delivery of LSD on May 15 to a federal agent.
souri, but weathermen said the flooded areas apparently were not affected. Showers moved out of the state early yesterday.
Last week the Federal authorities filed an information complaint in the Wichita court charging him on four counts in addition to the May 15 charge.
He will be sentenced after federal probation officers investigate his record.
Engineers said some 480,000 acres, mostly lowland farm areas, have been flooded in the Missouri River basin from Rulo, Neb., to the confluence below St. Charles.
That figure included the Grand, Platte, Chariton, and Nodaway Rivers in Missouri, plus several other tributaries.
THE EAST-CENTRAL Kansas town of Marion had water in its business district, but the overflow from recent heavy rains was receding yesterday. Four streams meet near Marion.
Implement and automobile dealers moved equipment to higher ground and other businessmen moved merchandise to higher shelves in their stores.
Numerous Kansas roads were closed because of high waters Thursday including all routes
leading into the communities of Wakarusa and Richland, and many will remain closed today.
The Highway Patrol said other roads blocked by waters from recent heavy rains included K-170 east of Reading, U.S. 59 in Missouri just east of Atchison, K-99 west of Emporia, K-33 and K-68 east of Interstate 35 east of Ottawa, K-116 at Arrington, U.S. 56 east of Scranton and east of Burlingame;
K-4 at Gypsum, K-209 one and one half miles east of Woodbine, and K-177 between Strong City and Cottonwood Falls.
Others closed included K-31 six miles east of Waverly, where a bridge was out; K-68 four miles east of the U.S. 169 and K-68 junction northeast of Paola and west of Louisburg; Kansas 31 five miles west of Fulton in Bourbon County, and Kansas Highway 65 five miles east of Xenia.
