Firecracker disruption interrupts KU exchange student talk
A string of high powered firecrackers exploded in Liberty Memorial High School during a Friday morning assembly. German exchange student Hans-Ulrich Weiss, representing the University of Kansas, was giving an address when the incident occurred. The blasts, likely set off by a slow fuse, were heard across the building, with a smoke odor noticed beforehand. E. J. Logsdon led the assembly as the girls quartet performed, and Weiss continued with remarks on German athletic programs after the interruption.
