By JERI SEELY Indian summer—characterized by warm days and heavy nighttime frosts—has yet to arrive on the scene. While our days have been rather warm for this time of year we have had little frost. Purdue university says the sky is clear during Indian summer, except for a smoky haze, causing the sun to appear reddish—the only smoky haze we’ve noticed is from the smoke of burning leaves. According to the university, the distinctive weather normally occurs in Indiana twice—once in mid-October and again in mid-November. Maybe we’re in for a few more days of beautiful weather before the snow clouds roll in. $ * ❖ Also from Purdue comes the following information about Kosciusko county students: There are 132 students on the Lafayette campus from this county. There are 198 students on the regional campuses and in extension classes from this county. And, there are 222 alumni on record in the Alumni Association address office who reside in this county.
