Congdon, chairman of the assignment committee. With regis

handle the increased resigstration,
Classes popular with the stu

Past Few Days Are
Hottest on Record
For May Bureau
Accurate evidence that the
heated early May days which have
just passed have been the hottest
days of that period in Nebraska
history was furnished a Nebraska::
reporter by the Weather Bureau
Thursday.
Starting last Saturday with an
84 maximum, the high tempera
tures through Thursday have been
84, 95, 96, 94, 91, and 82. At no
other time in the history of the
Nebraska weather bureau has this
record been paralleled in Lincoln.
The forty-four year average
since 1890 for these six days has
beeen 69, 69, 70, 72, 74, and 71 for
these six consecutive dates, from
May 5 to 10 inclusive.
Highest temperatures ever re
corded for these six dates in the
history of the state weather bu
reau are 84, 1934, for May 5; 95,
1934, for May 6; 96. 1934, for
May 7; 95, 1895, for May 8; 97.
1895, for May 9; 87, 1887, for
May 10.
The drouth which has extended
through April and May this spring
is the worst one recorded since the
spring of 1910 according to weath
er bureau records. Altho some
parts of the state have received
fairly good rains during the past
month, Lincoln has had only a
trace, and the local drouth is un
precedented. Temperatures abated a bit
Thursday, but weather officials
could make no promises of rains
at any time in the near future. Ex
perts on wheat production predict,
in view of the fact that the drouth
is nationwide in scope, the crop
will be about half of its normal
proportions.
