WEDNESDAY,JULY23,2003 FEATURE THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 19 DEDICATION Veterans recall memories of campus during war Bill Tuttle, American Studies professor, listens as Claudine "Scottie" Lingelbach speaks about her experiences in the U.S. Navy during World War II at the KU Goes to War presentation at the Lied Center. Lingelbach, who told her story on Sunday, was interviewed by Tom Brokaw for his book The Greatest Generation. Zach Straus/Kansan By Jennifer Wellington jwellington@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Some came to the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics KU Goes to War program to get out of the 100 degree heat; others came to hear about the changes the University of Kansas and its students went through during World War II. Veterans, alumni, family, friends and a handful of KU students attended the event Sunday afternoon. Twenty-three veterans surrounded the Lied Center stage as Bill Kurtis, KU alum and television broadcaster, moderated a discussion between three veterans and Bill Tuttle, American studies professor. Tuttle began the discussion with a history of the University during the war. He spoke of "flashbulb memories," or moments in history when people remember everything. Dec. 7, 1941, the day the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, was one of those moments for KU students, Tuttle said. Many students were opposed to the war before the bombing of Pearl Harbor, he said, but after two University students lost their lives there, attitudes changed. As the war progressed, Tuttle said, the number of servicemen on campus increased. The University enacted a trimester system to allow students and servicemen to complete their degrees in two-and-a-half years, instead of four. Claudine "Scottie" Lingelbach was one of those students. A 1944 graduate, Lingelbach decided during her junior year that she wanted to be "more than a pin-up girl" and joined the Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service immediately after college, working in Washington with top-secret documents. Lingelbach told the crowd about her "flashbulb moment" on December 7, when she was at Watson Library studying. That day was a defining moment in her life, she said. The third speaker, Richard Schiefelbusch, flew as a navigator on a B-24 bomber in the war. He said during the war he had the need to help others. "On bases and in the field," he said, SEE WAR ON PAGE 20 SUNSHINE ACRES MONTESSORI PRESCHOOL Preschool - Kindergarten - All Day Care "Our 33rd Anniversary Year - Serving Children Ages 2 $^{1/2}$ to 6" Pre-Enrollment for fall Preschool, Kindergarten and Child Care for Children Starting in August or September Visit now for a tour to enroll for fall kindergarten, preschool and child care. - Modern School Building on 3-Acre Playground - 16 Staff Serving 100 Children a Year - Montessori Materials - Christian Values - Reading and writing readiness - Curriculum includes music, art, science, math - Individualized Learning Centers - Nutritious Meals - State Food Program - Choice of Days, Times, Half or All Day Hours: 7:00-5:45 • 2141 Maple Lane, Lawrence Off 19th and Maple Ln. or K-10 and Harper 785-842-ABCD (2223) Available Now and Aug.1 $ ^{st} $ 1015 Mississippi •1BR's $410 •2BR's $510 1025 Mississippi -Newly Remodeled •1BR's $525 waterpd •2 BR's $595 waterpd 1712Ohio •3 BR 2 Bath $900-1 left 1547 Kentucky • 1 BR from $380 waterpd 901 Illionois • 2 BR non-remodeled $535 • 2 BR remodeled $610 Jacksonville Apartments 700 Monterey Wa • 1 BR's $440 • 2BR's $515 University Terrace Apartments On9th Between Emery & Avalon •1 BR's from $350 •2 BR's from $430 Call For Details! 841-5533 George Waters Management,Inc www.apartmentsinlawrence.net To TIMBUK 2 AND BACK!
