series which apparently hit
hardest in Oklahoma City area
but spread as far north as
Omaha and Des Moines and to
the south to Austin, Tex. Parts
of Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri,
Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas

A federal seismograph at
Wesleyan university showed
earth tremors lasting for four

termed it a "mild shock."
Recorded at 10:31 a.m., the
earthquake was supposedly felt
by a number of University
students. Several reported that
they felt a slight shake during
their 10 o'clock classes.
