KUClubCelebrates Holidays in Mexico
A strange sight greeted officials during the holidays at the U.S.- Mexican border at Laredo, Tex. Aous pulled up to the Mexican side of the border.
The bus was filled with all kinds of Mexican products. It resembled a marketplace on wheels.
The trip is an annual activity of the International Club.
Aboard the loaded bus were 39 persons—participants in the annual KU International Club trip to Mexico. The Mexican articles aboard were souvenirs and gifts purchased in Mexico.
The group, which consisted of both foreign students and Americans, left Lawrence December 21. On the first leg of their trip, they traveled to Monterrey, Mexico.
nights of the
"The streets were decorated with lanterns." Loupaal said. "There was a parade and fireworks — a regular fiesta. The celebration began about 10 p.m. and lasted into the night. The members of our group celebrated by having a party on the patio of our hotel—the Hotel Posa-da La Fuente.
mas Eve Czechoslovakia Milan Loupal, Czechoslovakia graduate student and an organizer of the trip, said the Christmas Eve celebration was one of the highlights of the trip.
"The hotel is very old, in fact it was originally a monastery. It is picturesque with a patio and fountain. Many of the members of the group fell in love with San Miguel because the little town is so very old and interesting." Loupal said.
AFTER SPENDING THE night in Monterey, the group traveled to San Miguel where they spent two nights.
ON CHRISTMAS DAY, the group traveled to Mexico City. They remained there six days. During their stay, the travelers spent most of their time sightseeing.

While in San Miguel, the group participated in the annual Christmas Eve Celebration.
then "Mexico City is quite impressive," Loupal said. "It is very big and very modern. We visted the University of Mexico, it is a very large school and has a beautiful campus."
"We stayed in several different hotels in Mexico City and were, therefore, divided into smaller groups. The cafs there are unusually good. Some of us went to the
KU Doctor, 61. Dies At Home
Dr. Maurice E. Gross, 61, a staff doctor at Watkins Hospital, died at 10:45 last night in his home of a heart attack.
He had worked the entire day yesterday. ___
Dr. Gross was known to have heart ailments for the past 10 years.
The funeral is expected to be sometime tomorrow, and burial will be in Greencastle, Indiana.
Dr. Gross was first in Lawrence for a year in 1944 when he was Lieutenant Commander in the Navy Medical Corps. He was later discharged from the Navy as a Commander and returned to Lawrence in 1947 to work on the staff of Watkins Hospital.
Dr. Ralph Canuteson, director of the student Health Service, said that Dr. Gross will be mised by a large number of students.
"He had a great following among the student body. His conversation was salty and full of nautical terms." Dr. Canuteson said. "He filled a spot here where we'll hardly be able to get along without him. We knew that we could depend on him in a pinch. He had a long and interesting background. His training was sound and his judgment was sound."
Mrs. Gross has requested that no flowers be sent, but that rather any money that would be spent for flowers be donated to the Kaw Vally Heart Fund.
Dr. Gross is survived by his wife;
two daughters. Mrs. Jerry Zachary of Traverse City, Mich., and Mrs.
John Goslin of Indianapolis, Ind.,
and five grandchildren.
Latin American building to eat. There is a cafe on the 41st floor of the building-overlooking the city. The city was decorated with colored lights and was really a sight."
IN ADDITION TO visiting places of interest, many of the members of the group attended the Russian ballet in Mexico City. Some attended a bullfight at the Plaza Mexico.
From Mexico City, the group traveled to Acapulco. They visited Taxco, Mexico's "Silver City", on there way to Acapulco.
At the seaside resort city, the group spent most of their time at the shore. Most of them said they were tired of the fast pace of the first days of the trip. The visit to Acapulco provided a two-day interlude of rest.
Anti-Red Notes Defile Peace Corps Posters
The students spent New Year's Eve on the beach at Acapulco. When they left Acapulco, the members of the group began their trip home. They returned by way of Mexico City and San Miguel.
Someone has been using Peace Corps posters as a vehicle of hate.
The following message was attached by a sticker to at least three of the Corps placement test announcements;
"A GUN DID NOT KILL KENEDY, A COMMUNIST DID." John Fairhurst, Wichita junior and Peace Corps chairman, said the packet of posters came to him from Washington yesterday. When Fairhurst found them they were open on and on the desk of the Peace Corps office in the Kansas Union.
He said either the sticker was put on after the posters were put up or the posters were stolen and then the stickers applied before they were put up.
One poster on the Kansas Union first floor bulletin board did not have the Union approval stamp, which is usually applied to all posters put up in the Union.
The posters are printed in Washington and sent to local Peace agencies whenever a placement test is to be given.
The posters announced the test to be given at 8:30 a.m., Jan. 11, in the Lawrence post office.
Committee Appointed For KU Centennial
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe yesterday announced at the University Senate the appointment of one of the main committees for the Kansas University centennial, which is to begin either in the fall of 1965 or the spring of 1966.
James Surface, dean of faculties, was appointed chairman of the committee, which carries the name "The University Committee on Objectives for the Second Century."
THERE IS STILL some doubt when the celebrations will be held, Dean Surface said.
Dean Surface said the committee will advise the chancellor about long-range development plans which can be tied in with the centennial.
KU opened its doors in the fall of 1865.
Dean Surface said it is generally agreed that the convocation address in fall of 1965 would be the logical starting point, but that most of the actual celebration would probably be the following spring.
Other members of the committee are Sheldon Carey, professor of Fine Arts; Richard DeGeorge, professor of philosophy; Stuart Forth, associate director of the library; Jacob Kleinberg, professor of chemistry; James Logan, dean of the law school; Ross McKinney, professor of engineering; Arden Miller, dean of the KU medical center; David Paretsky, professor of microbiology; Robert Ridgeway, professor of education; Stitt Robinson, professor of history; Richard Schiefelbusch, director of child research; Jack Steele, professor of business; Marilyn Stokstad, professor of fine arts, and George Waggoner, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
