One yule memory will not be merry
Christmas memories are not all pleasant for Tom Hall, Lawrence senior, his wife and three-year-old son, Tim.
The Hall's trailer home at 945 E. 23rd St. was destroyed by fire Dec. 22 after Mrs. Hall plugged in Christmas tree lights that shorted, sparked and set the tree ablaze.
The damage was listed by fire officials as $2,000 to the trailer, which was insured. Mrs. Hall and son escaped from the blaze without injury, but she was able to save only the clothes she had on. She was wearing cut-offs and a sweat shirt at the time of the fire.
The Hall family spent the Wednesday and Thursday before Christmas with neighbors in the trailer court. Then Mrs. Rusty Springer came to visit and offered to convert the recreation room of their home at 2314 Tenn. St. into temporary housing for the Halls.
Hall, who will graduate from
"Clock and Watch Designs" is the title of a talk to be given by John Ittmann, Cincinnati, Ohio, sophomore and Art Museum registrar, at 8 p.m. Tuesday in the Art Museum lecture hall.
Ittmann will explain the evolution of decorative clock and watch design from late sixteenth century to late nineteenth century in Europe.
The talk is in conjunction with a collection of timepieces on exhibit in the Art Museum until Jan. 19. Ittmann assembled the collection last summer while working at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The exhibition includes 65 prints and drawings from the Metropolitan Museum and a dozen clocks from the Nelson Art Gallery in Kansas City and KU Art Museum's own collection.
Does any bank consider the accounts of students really important?
At University State Bank they are one of our most important assets. Visit us at 955 Iowa. (In our temporary building.)
KU Jan. 25, accepted the offer to live in the basement recreation room until then. Their new home has a pool table, washing machine and dryer, fireplace and furniture. The Halls also received many unexpected Christmas gifts — many were from strangers. They received blankets, clothes, towels, dishes and furniture. Also there have been countless gifts of food.
"This has been our best Christmas; a person doesn't know how many friends he or she has until tragedy strikes," Hall said.
Fortunately, many of Hall's books and papers were in the family car at the time of the fire, so he will be able to study for finals.
Tim's Christmas gifts were stored in the car trunk.
Posts available in Air Force ROTC
Positions are available in KU Air Force ROTC for potential pilots and navigators.
ROTC officials say potential candidates must have two years of college remaining. Require-requirements include passing the Air Force Officer Qualifying Test, an Air Force flying physical requiring 20/20 vision without glasses for pilots and 20/50 for navigators.
Candidates selected for the two-year program attend a six-week field training unit and draw pay at a selected Air Force base the summer preceding enrollment in AFROTC classes.
Cons tell—
Continued from page 1 der in connection with an armed robbery, spoke for a few minutes shortly after Jack.
He pointed out that his history as a thief had begun at age 11 and continued through a number of theft convictions until the one he was now serving.
To emphasize his point he said,
"When I came here the last time,
a 1947 Chevy was a new car."
George, Blackey and the other members of the Seventh Step Committee are chosen in an election by the convicts themselves.
According to Albert Lescow, chairman of the committee, they must be "stand-up convicts" ("good" convicts) and must show some inclination to help themselves.
"We try to give these kids a clear example of what can happen if they continue to get in trouble," Lescoe said.
William Smith, a Johnson County probation officer who has brought almost 60 boys to the meetings, said he has had to recommend only one of these to a higher authority.
"Because I work in Johnson County I don't run into as many of the really hard kids such as may come from the 'Bottoms' of Kansas City," Smith said.
A man working in this area reported the program has helped about three youths since its innovation in March.
"I had a good chance of losing 50 per cent of the boys before this program," Smith said.
He brings about 7 to 14 boys each week.
"They're not forced to come," he said. "As a matter of fact, I don't like to see courts compel a boy to attend the meeting.
"With me it's strictly voluntary," Smith said. "I ask the boy

if he wants to help himself, ask him what he wants to do. Then I suggest he attend the meetings.
"The first time they come it's a matter of curiosity," he said.
"They come the second time to see if what they saw and heard was really true," Smith said. "After that they begin to feel like part of a group and come as often as they can."
Smith said at first he thought the boys would identify with the convicts. "They are, however, identifying with the program and letting it help them," he said.
"It gives them a little self-surance, and confidence." he said.
The program has different effects on different boys, he said, "a hard case can see himself as a convict, but a mild case can't visualize it. He can't see that what he does can lead him to prison."
Lescoe said there have been more than 1000 visitors and more and more judges and juvenile courts are interested.
