He tells first of traveling
through the bamboo rain forest
of the Southern Himalayas,
through the region of the mon

is more than two hundred and
fifty inches, and up steep moun

The selections from "The Car
nival of the Animals," a satirical
collection of pieces, was written
for two pianos by saint baens.
The music is of caricature style,
and the individual pieces repre

According to Union music

to Howard Hogan. who is in

Hichlightmg the open house
will be a tour of the Nebraska
tractor testing lab. The lab is
the only one of its kind in the
world.
From a count taken June 25,
1949. 413 tractors have been
tested at the lab since its estab
hshment in 1919. Its purpose is
to protect the farmer from un
scrupulous manufacturers and
false advertising.

It is now a JSeOrasKa si.ue

winds broke windows, blew stu
dents in front of cars, and ripped
rooting from the temporary
buildings.
Dust Storm Begins
A minature dust storm accom
panied the blasts. Cinders, used
a few days before on slippery
sidewalks, were earned into the
air. Dust and flurries of snow
joined with the cinders to hinder
visibility. Dust and small rocks
littered the approaches to all the
buildings.
Temperatures in the twenties
froze the light snow of the morn
ing, leaving the sidewalks a sheet
of ice. Walking against the wind
and on slick sidewalks was al-
most an impossibility
Many students, unable to keep
their balance, were blown into
the paths of cars. Others grabbed
at telephone poles in an effort to
stav on their feet. It was not un
common to see a person leaning
against the wind Imost sta
tionary. Buildings Damaged.
But while students were strug
gling to return from classes, the
University buildings were faring
much worse. Windows in Bessey
hall were blown in by the wind,
shattering glass over some of the
rooms. Classes in one zoological
lab were dismissed as soon as the
windows were broken.
Roofing on temporary build
ings was steadily picked off. Tar
paper and other debris were
stopped by shrubbery Or were
left to run with the wind. An old
smokestack near the Phi Kappa
Psi house, tottering under the
wind, finally gave in to the more
than gentle taps, and fell to the
ground.
A barbershop window next to
Earl Woods was al;;0 broken,
City Story Same
It was much the same story in
downtown Lincoln only on a
much bigger scale. Store windows
were broken in Magee's and Wal
green's. Bricks from the Nebras
ka hotel fell on cars below dam
! aging seriously at least one ear.
Other damages to store fronts
and to cars were reported in
many sections of the jown.
The wind storm beg.lh Tuesday
morning with all appear.- lees of
a blizz.ird. About noon me snow
stopped, but the wind only in
creased in velocity. By mid-afternoon
the wind had slackened
but was still making walking
miserable.
The weather bureau at the
University reported that an aver
age 53-mile-an-hour wind blew
most of the day. Winds up to 70
miles an hour were recorded;
hnu'pvcr these were strone winds
in small gusts and not for more
than a minute. Temperatures
I were in the twenties and were
I falling steadily as snow began to
j fall again in the late afternoon.

Unless you'd like to spend
some time with pmk eye or
trench mouth, Dr. Samuel Fuen

Health advises students to re
frain from using "community"
towels and cups.
According to Dr. Fuerming, the
primary precaution against the
two diseases is personal habits
of cleanliness.'
One of the major causes of
trench mouth, the doctor pointed :
out. is a dental defect. With such 1
a defect the resistance to the dis
ease is decreased. If one is nor

is hard to get trench mouth. I
The epidemic of the disease
last vear, he said, was passed ;
from "cup to cup and from spoon
to sixwin. and "the ha;n was

In prevention of pink eye. it
is esecially important to keep

By Herculean Gales
Possibly the one spot that re
mained undisturbed amid the
Tuesday gale was the Rag office.
While news of disaster flowed
in, the editors calmly sent re
porters forth to cover all phases
of the big blow. One enterpris

Crib, with one ear to the radio.

Some students paused while
blowing across campus long
enough to be interviewed.
"I can't keep my feet on the
ground," complained one coed.
"It's scaring me to death,"
called another, in passing.
"Fell down in front of the Uni
Drug four times," said a third.
