Snow and Wind
locks Highways
In Central Plains
</T>) A blinding, wind-lashed
snowstorm blocked highways in
the central plains area Tuesday
night and drove into the upper
Mississippi valley.
Traffic was tied up in Western
Kansas and Central and Eastern
Nebraska as the near blizzard re
duced visibility virtually to zero.
Plains Region Windy
The weather bureau reported
winds of 35 to 45 miles per hour
accompanied the snow in the Plains
region, piling drifts across roads.
At Chicago, the weather bureau
issued a special snow warning for
Minnesota. It predicted five to 10
inches of snowfall Tuesday night
with considerable drifting and
blowing. Winds of 30 to 40 miles an
hour were forecast for Tuesday
night and today in Minnesota. Only
(he extreme Northwest and South
east are expected to receive light
to moderate falls.
Omaha Traffic Tied Up'
The driving storm lacked only
unusually cold temperatures to
[qualify as a full blizzard in Ne
braska where it hit just in time to
tie up the rush hour traffic of
homeward-bound motori t commu
ters at Lincoln and Omaha. Ve
hicles inched along Omaha's busi
est thoroughfares. Cross state traf
fic was halted in Kansas by drifts
on highways in the western part
j of the state.
The situation was reported bad
in northeastern Kansas. Several
trans-continental bus lines held up
or cancelled west-bound departures
at Kansas City.
Snow Storm in Midv/est
Tiie weather bureau termed the
snow “an intense storm” which de
veloped today over southwestern
Missouri and southeastern Kansas.
The snowfall was general over the
upper Missouri valley and the
northern quarter of the Mississippi
valley.
Early Tuesday evening, the
snowfalls measured five inches in
parts of the Missouri valley, with
much heavier accumulations prob
able. A wide aiea of rain extended
south and east of the snow belt
across the Midwest and Great
Lakes area.
Hunter Dies in Arizona
The midcontinent storm follow
ed severe snows during the past 10
days in the western plateau and
Rocky Mountain areas as far south
as northern New Mexico and Ari
zona. Today, there were nine inch
es of snow reported on the ground
at Amarillo in the Texas Pan
handle. One hunter died in the
snow and cold which hit the north
ern Arizona mountains several
days ago.
A new wave of cold air moved
from Canada into the northern
Rockies and western plains today,
sending daytime temperatures
down to five above zero at Lara
mie, Wyoming, and Butte, Mon
tana.
Adams reacted, except to comment
that he thought the proposals fell

Girls to Leave Straub;
Sherry Ross to Alove
Wom-n now living in Hendricks Annex in John Straub hall, will be
moved to Carson and Hendricks halls, announced Mrs. Golda P Wick
ham, associate director of women's affairs. The men now living in
Sherry Ross in the Veteran's dormitory will be moved back to Straub
winter term, according to Ray Hawk, associate director of men’s af
fairs.
The 47 women concerned will be moved the first of next term
"We
wani. u) uisturo tnem now,
.said Airs. Wickham, “but I’rn sure
they will be out winter term.”
Room for 20
At present there is room for 20
of the 47 women. Carson has a ca- !
pacity of 333 occupants, and is at
present housing only 323. In Hen
dricks hall, there is room of 112, 10
more than the number of present
residents. This leaves 27 women
without a definite dormitory as
signment.
Vacancies Expected
Enough vacancies at the end of
the term are expected by Hawk to
take care of the additional women.
Reasons listed by Hawk for the
drop in number of upperclass wom
en living in the dormitories are
moving into a sorority, getting
married, or a lack of the funds
necessary to come back to school.
Susan Crimpbell hall, previously
a women's dormitory, will continue
to house men for the remainder of
the year, Hawk said.
