Bomber Breaks 3 Speed Records
LOS ANGELES — (UPI) — A B58 Hustler jet bomber shattered three transcontinental speed records and numerous windows yesterday on a round trip between Los Angeles and New York.
The delta-winged B58, powered by four jets, hit a top speed of 1.450 miles an hour on the round-trip between Los Angeles and New York in 4 hours, 43 minutes and 51 seconds.
The time for the 4,900-mile flight chopped almost two hours off the previous record of 6 hours, 46 minutes set in 1957.
The needle-nosed Hustler also set records of 2 hours, 1 minute and 39 seconds for the West-East leg of the flight, and 2 hours, 15 minutes and 12 seconds for the east-west leg.
THE AIR FORCE said all times were unofficial pending a recheck of instruments which clocked the plane. The round-trip time included about half an hour for refueling in flight over the Atlantic Ocean.
The B58 — rated at a top speed of mach 2 or twice the speed of sound — set up a continuous sonic boom. Shock waves emanated from the plane as it pierced the sound barrier in much the manner of an explosive blast.
Recurrent sonic booms were felt on the ground as the bomber pierced the sound barrier. Numerous reports were received of broken windows and cracked plaster walls in homes along the route.
Gen. Thomas S. Power, head of the Strategic Air Command (SAC), was on hand at International Airport at the end of the flight and pinned Distinguished Flying Crosses on the blouses of the three man crew.
The second section of the Jayhawker is being printed and will be released March 19, Blaine L. King, Emporia junior and Jayhawker director, said today.
Release Set For Yearbook
Page 5
King set April 27 and May 19 as the final release dates for the third and fourth sections.
JOHN M. HENDERSON, Stanberry, Mo., senior and editor of the Jayhawk, said the yearbook has been delayed because the staff is trying to achieve an All America rating for this year from the National Collegiate Press.
The Jayhawker, although attaining a first class rating many times, has never made All America, he said.
"Many of the extra man-hours needed to attain All America have gone into this yearbook," said Harry D. Booker, Lawrence senior and photography editor.
Booker mentioned the pictures on pages 34 and 35 in the first edition. He said two different photos taken on two different occasions were carefully matched for lighting and similarity and then combined to appear as one.
CAREFUL ATTENTION to selection and quality of photographs, layout and margins were reasons cited by King and Henderson for the delay.
"Things like this take many manhours and make All America yearbooks," he said.

Puzzle of Big Sign Solved
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — (UPI) — The mystery of the giant "Visit and Enjoy Illinois" sign on U. S. 1 near North Bergen, N. J., has been solved. It was erected without cost by neon sign executive John C. Sabatini, who, incidentally, is a friend of Illinois Gov. Otto Kerner.

THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GOLDER
The academic world, as we all know, is loaded with dignity and ethics, with lofty means and exalted ends, with truth and beauty. In such a world a heinous thing like faculty raiding—colleges enticing teachers away from other colleges—is not even thinkable.
However, if the dean of one college happens—purely by chance, mind you—to run into a professor from another college, and the professor happens to remark—just in passing, mind you—that he is discontented with his present position, why, what's wrong with the dean making the professor an offer? Like the other afternoon, for instance, Dean Sigafoos of Gransmire Polytech, finding himself in need of a refreshing cup of oolong, dropped in quite by chance at the Discontented Professors Exchange where he discovered Professor Stuneros from the English Department of Kroveny A and M sitting over a pot of lapsang soochong and shriking "I Hate Kroveny A and M!" Surely there was nothing improper in the dean saying to the professor, "Leander, perhaps you'd like to come over to us. I think you'll find our shop A-OK."
(It should be noted here that all English professors are named Leander, just as all psychics professors are named Fred. All sociology professors are, of course, named Myron, all veterinary medicine professors are named Rover, and all German professors are named Hansel and Gretel. All deans, are, of course, named Attila.)
“Well, it's not too bad,” says Leander. “We have 28 volumes in all, including a mint copy of *Nancy Drew*, Girl Detective.”
But I digress. Leander, the professor, has just been offered a job by Attila, the dean, and he replies, "Thank you, but I don't think so."
"And I don't blame you," says Attila, stoutly. "I understand Kroveny has a fine little library."
"Very impressive," says Attila. "Us now, we have 36 million volumes, including all of Shakespeare's first folios and the Dead Sea Scrolls."
"Golly whiskers," says Leander.
"But of course," says Attila, "you don't want to leave Kroveny here, I am told, working conditions are tickety-boo."
"Oh, they're not too bad," says Leander. "I teach 18 hours of English, 11 hours of optometry, 6 hours of forestry, coach the fencing team, and walk Prexy's cat twice a day."
"A full, rich life," says Attila. "At our school you'd be somewhat less active. You'd teach one class a week, limited to four A students. As to salary, you'd start at $50,000 a year, with retirement at full pay upon reaching age 29."
"Sir," says Leander, "your offer is most fair but you must understand that I owe a certain loyalty to Kroveny."
"I not only understand, I applaud," says Attila. "But before you make a final decision, let me tell you one thing more. We supply Marlboro cigarettes to our faculty—all you want at all times."
"Gloryosky!" cries Leander, bounding to his feet. "You mean Marlboro, the filter cigarette with the unfiltered taste—Marlboro, the cigarette with better makin's—Marlboro that comes to you in pack or box—Marlboro that gives you such a lot to like?"
"Yep," says Attila, "that's the Marlboro I mean."
"I am yours," cries Leander, wringing the Dean's hand.
"Where do I sign?"
"At the quarry," replies Attila. "Frankly, we don't trust paper contracts any more. We chisel them in marble."

Stonecutters cut it in stone, woodcutters cut it in wood, seamstresses embroider it in voilies: you get a lot to like in a Marlboro—filter, flavor, pack or box.
