Floods in 1965 differ from 1951 in Kansas
Weather expert Richard Garrett notes similarities but heavy rain and flood impact differ from 1951. In 1951 state losses neared 1 billion with major hits along the Kansas river system and Marais des Cygnes. By 1965, rainfall is concentrated in southern Kansas and new flood controls vastly increase capacity since 1951.

Computer's Role as Cupid Is Lauded
EAST LANSING AP Three months ago a computer matched Michigan State University seniors Paul Nelson and Sandra Titus for a campus dance. They married March 20 and say the machine found more similarities than noted, though housing and decorating tastes differ. Nelson, 25, and Titus, 23, live in an MSU unit and note shared habits like squeezing toothpaste from the end. The couple say computer matching helps limit dating while noting some incompatibilities.
