KU-Y plays 'big brother'
Want to be a "big brother" or "big sister"?
KU students who participate in the KU-Y friendship program will have a chance to do just that.
The youth friendship program, now in its third year, pairs up KU students with Lawrence grade school or junior high students who are having school or home adjustment problems or who just need someone older to talk to.
twice that many Lawrence children needed big brothers and sisters.
Last year 50 KU students participated in the program but about
Ron Gann, Wichita senior and co-chairman for the program, said the KU students spend a few hours a week with their little brother or sister going to intramural games, the art museum, a roller rink, or just talking. Gann and the other co-chairman, Carol
Fraizer, Oak Park, Ill., junior, will select the steering committee who will then select KU students who would like to be in the program and actually have the time to be with the child every week.
Interviews for the steering committee will be from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Monday and Tuesday in the KU-Y's Kansas Union office, where students may sign up.

North Viets blast US fort
S. AIGON—(UFI)—North Vietnamese forces attacked the beleagured U.S. Marine border post at Con Thien with renewed fury today, carrying their virtual siege of the isolated post into a fifth day.
The Communists launched ground probes and heavy rocket, artillery and mortar barrages at the camp, where 600 Americans have been killed or wounded this month, most of them this week.
Details of the new fighting were not immediately available. But UPI photographer Dana Stone reported from Con Thien that the Marines were taking heavy punishment.
"I saw five bodies and I couldn't count all the wounded," he said.
"A corpsman told me that 375 Marines had been wounded there in the past three days."
PRIMARILY LEATHER 105 E.8th
The firing was so heavy that helicopters had trouble getting in to evacuate the wounded. Stone reported the Marines were short on medical supplies and food.
The new attacks came on the heels of day-long bombardments and ground probes Thursday that killed 16 Americans and wounded more than 170.
DETROIT — (UPI)— Donnis Butcher, coach of the Detroit Pistons, played college ball at Pikeville, Ky. In his best National Basketball Association season, he averaged 7.2 points a game.
The Americans fought back with tactical fighter-bombers, giant B52 stratofortresses, Navy gun barrages and artillery fire at the rate of 6,000 rounds a day.
