Rail and Plane Schedules Full For Christmas
Students who have not made Christmas travel reservations may spend the Yuletide season in Lawrance.
Almost every mode of transportation leaving Lawrence on Dec. 20 and 21 is filled.
The Santa Fe railroad ticket office reports that all castbound trains are full on Dec. 19-20. These trains go through Kansas City to Chicago. This includes reservation and coach seats on all trains on those days.
THE AIRLINE reservation service at the First National Bank said there were no available flights out of Kansas City on Dec. 20. Waiting list reservations will not be accepted on that day. Flights out of Kansas City Dec. 21-22 are scarce and anticipate poor connections and long lavover hours.
Union Pacific railroad in Lawrence said most of its trains to Chicago are full for the days preceding the vacation. There is one remaining train that is not full during that period.
Student Union Activities is sponsoring a chartered bus to New York City and the East Coast. It is one of the few days left to leave Lawrence on the weekend preceding the vacation, other than private automobiles. Like the other modes the bus is rapidly filling and there may be another if the demand warrants it, said Bob Woodbury. Leawood freshman and one of the coordinators of the program.
In addition to the public conveyances leaving the city for vacation there are also car pools.
THE LARGE bulletin board in the Kansas Union covered with a multicolored map of the United States helps many students find rides for destinations all over the country. It has small hooks on it that students use to hang either pink or white cards depending on whether he wants a ride or riders. Precently, the board contains a great more 'ride wanted' cards than 'riders wanted' cards, indicating the lack of available cars.
It is almost three weeks until Christmas vacation but indications are that a great number of students and faculty have made travel plans. Those who are waiting until the last minute may have a hard time finding travel accommodations.
Students Seek Rhodes Award
Three KU students have been chosen as candidates for Rhodes scholarships.
Carl (Max) Logan, Holliday senior; Breon Mitchell, Salina senior; and William Campion, Liberal senior, were selected as representatives to the state selection committee in Hutchinson.
The candidates chosen by the state selection committee will be eligible for the Middle West district selections. Thirty-two Rhodes scholars will be chosen from the eighth-state area.
THE STUDENTS will study for two years, or possibly three, at Oxford University in Oxford, England. They do not have to continue in their present field of study, Aldon Bell, assistant professor of history, said.
Prof. Bell is a member of both the state and district committee
Prot. Bill said students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences or in any of the schools are eligible to apply. The student's application includes letters of recommendation, student records and an essay about their future academic plans. Candidates are also interviewed by KU professors.
STUDENTS USUALLY apply in their home states, not the states in which they are attending school. Prof. Bell said the three KU candidates will be competing with students from Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass.; Yale University, New Haven, Conn.; Catholic University, Washington, D.C.; Kansas State University, Manhattan; Baker University, Baldwin, and Wichita University.
