Iowa State may be the team to watch in track about 1965.
The Cyclones got a terrific coach with a lot of potential when they hired KU's assistant coach Bob Lawson to replace Burl Berry whose resignation becomes effective Aug. 1.
IF THE IOWA STATE administration will give him some support, like more track scholarships, the Cyclones may be up there battling Oklahoma, Nebraska, Missouri and the Jayhawkers for the top spot instead of floundering in last place along with Kansas State.
Lawson is the type of guy who will fight for what he believes, and there's nothing he feels stronger about than track. He doesn't give up, so if there is a man who can lift Iowa State to track promise, he will be the one.
Already the Cyclones have moved up in football. Some prognosticators have already tabbed them as the team to watch. They are getting good alumni support and last year the alums contributed beef for the training table.
THE CYCLONES have had good basketball teams, but they have never been able to reach the top with Kansas State and KU battling it out for first place every year (that excludes last year).
Traek has been weak for several years at ISU and this year they had only one man who was a Big Eight caliber performer, Larry Eilert, who won the league high jump title.
Lawson will have no choice about his talent for the next two years and will not have any recruits of his own until the fall of 1964. His recruits will only be sophomores then, so allow a year or so for maturing, plus a new batch of Lawson recruits and the Cyclones may move up.
IF HARD WORK plays an important role in the success of a team (and we feel that it does), then Iowa State should come to life next year. Lawson is a hard worker himself who has worked under another hard worker, head coach Bill Easton, and who expects others to work hard.
Lawson cannot only tell a boy how to perform a certain event, he can show them, and will. He was a top decathlon performer before turning to coaching and is proficient in practically every event, although his specialty is the hurdles.
At the present Lawson is in an awkward situation. He is the new head coach for Iowa State, but an assistant at KU until August 1. He has one month remaining, which is a good month for recruiting. The question is for whom will he be recruiting?
"FOR KU," answers Lawson quickly and he will. Lawson will work hard for KU trying to recruit the boys he has worked on throughout the year. When August comes, he will forget the KU boys and start working on some new prospects that he might lure to Iowa State.
Many boys have decided upon schools by Aug. 1, so there is not much Lawson can do. He will leave the KU boys alone, however, but will probably try to swing a few others to Cycloneland.
Besides being an excellent coach Lawson is a great guy to get to know. He has of late become the king of fish stories around Allen Field House.
HE ALWAYS has a good yarn about the "one that got away" for any callers who drop by. We have always doubted the validity of some of his stories, but now we are convinced.
We did witness a fish that Lawson caught. He referred to it as "The Whale," but in essence it was a rather minute bass weighing about two pounds. He also told of the seven large ones that got away, which we took with a grain of salt.
He's a devoted fisherman and when he gets through working the KU athletes on campus this summer, he and his small son Troy usually head to a nearby lake to throw in the line.
FOR THE FIRST few years at Iowa State Lawson may have the same results he has on his fishing trips, but give him time to recruit his own boys and get his feet on the ground and the Big Eight may have a new track contender.
Some 50,000 men and women go to work on Wall Street every morning, but only one man calls it home at night.
Wall Street-Something For Everybody; Almost
The financial heart of the United States is a narrow canyon of a thoroughfare with towering banks, law offices, brokerage houses, corporations—and one handsome five-story residence made of wood.
The Street now flanked by steel and stone skyscrapers got its name from the mud wall which Dutch Governor Peter Stuyvesant built in 1653 to keep the English out, says the National Geographic Society.
More than 300 years ago, the Dutch settlement of New Amsterdam at the southern tip of Manhattan Island was mostly farmland. A brushwood fence kept the cows in. When the town was threatened by British invasion, the Dutch reinforced the fence with an earthen wall and palisade. Wall Street follows that old fortification from the East River to Trinity Church.
In its youth, Wall Street was a center of fashion and the original "Great White Way." It was one of the first publicly lighted streets in the nation.
Captain Kidd lived in the elegant neighborhood as a respectable merchant and shipowner before turning pirate.
On April 30,1789, George Washington took the first presidential oath on Wall Street and formally established the United States Government.
Congress gathered there. The executive and judicial departments were organized. The Bill of Rights was adopted on Wall Street.
The New York Stock Exchange began in 1792 when 24 beaver-hatted
merchants and auctioneers gathered under the shade of a buttonwood tree to buy and sell stocks and bonds.
At the end of the 19th century, brokers were taking orders from their telephone clerks who signaled from windows overlooking the market place. The brokers wore distinctively colored plumed hats and gaudily striped blazers so that their clerks could spot them in the crowd. Transferred indoors, the Exchange remained "a strange scene of business, tumult, and excitement, wilder than anything in Europe," according to an early guidebook.
The Street has had scenes of celebration and alarm and a procession of characters more colorful than any stage. It has experienced fires, explosions, fiscal catastrophe, panic, investigations, robbery—and curses. It has survived all, like a cat with 99 lives.
Although the public associates "Black Tuesday" (October 29, 1929) with bankers leaping from Wall Street windows, statistics show that more New Yorkers committed suicide in the preceding boom months of summer than during the period of the Great Crash.
Today, however, 60 percent of all patients admitted to the Wall Street hospital are victims of heart ailments.
Wall Street, one of the most congested streets in the world by day, is all but deserted at night. There is only one private residence on the street. The owner claims that the climate is cooler in summer and warmer by ten degrees in winter than on any other street in New York.
Unemployment Up; Hope For Recovery Signs Dimmer
WASHINGTON—(UPI) -The national unemployment rate inched up slightly in June even after allowances for the annual influx of school age youngsters seeking summer jobs, the Labor Department reported today.
It said employment increased by 1,336,000 to a record-high 69,539,000 last month while joblessness increased by 744,000 to 4,463,000.
The significant seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment, however, rose from 5.4 to 5.5 per cent of the labor force. The department said this was "virtually unchanged" from the May figure. But the increase dimmed Kennedy administration hopes for signs of a strengthened recovery.
The persistent high rate of joblessness — down only three tenths of one per cent since January — was sure to be cited by administration advisers who favor an immediate tax cut to spur the economy.
Both non-farm and farm employment showed average May to June gains for this season.
NEW YORK — (UPI) — A woman looking at a reproduction of Rembrandt's famous painting, "Aristotle Contemplating the Bust of Homer," in the Rembrandt Room at the Stanhope Hotel here, was overheard remarking to a companion: "He looks more like Plato to me."
Which One?
Hit .628 in Series
The Department said that the number of persons out of work 15 weeks or more dropped by 241,000 to 1,033,000.
1,053,000. But the number of workers on parttime jobs who sought full time work rose by about 300,000 to 2,630,000. This increase reflected failure of many youngsters to find full time jobs during the June influx, the Department said.

Charles H. Zimmerman, Olathe native and electrical engineering alumnus of KU, has been appointed director of aeronautical research in the office of Advanced Research and Technology of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Washington, D.C.
Today's slight rise in the unemployment rate was bound to be a disappointment to the Kennedy administration. Its spokesmen have been expressing hopes that the key jobless rate would fall sharply this year to indicate a strong recovery.
The 55-year-old Zimmerman, who was graduated from KU in 1929, has been in aeronautical work for industry and government for 33 years. He had beaten associate chief of the aerospace mechanics division of NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va., since 1959.

While with the Chance Vought Division of United Aircraft Corp., Zimmerman performed some of the original research resulting in the "flying platform." He has been a contributor to the development of vertical and short-take-off aircraft.
