Bellringers make holiday happiness

Standing in a white booth just large enough for one person, Doug Quaristrom, Topkapi sophomore, leaned on the table and appeared to be a friend as he rang a small golden bell.
Several messages painted on the side of the booth hinted at the nature of the young man's work: "Need has no shame" and sharing is caring "and" God Bless You."
All of these messages are themes for the Salvation Army, 946 New Hampshire St., which provided Christmas dinners and presents for almost 700 families in the Lawrence area last year.
QUARNSTROM, WHO is philanthropy chairman for Sigma Chi fraternity, that said only a few people had been dropping coins into the red kettle fastened to the front of the booth. But, he said, the lack of contributions wasn't because people weren't in a charitable mood.
"I think cold weather's been holding people back," he said.
Quarrestam is one of many Lawrence residents and KU students who volunteer a few hours every Christmas to the Salvation Army's bell.
The Salvation Army hires 20 bell-fingers each year, said Lea Anna Riley, a salvation army employee. In addition, they hire 15 volunteers of 30 clubs and organizations volunteer

RILEY, WHO ran bells for three Christmas seasons, now nows people to do this work from the day after Christmas and the day before Christmas, she said.
"I got promoted," Riley said with a laugh.
Ringing bells can also become boring, said Riley, who has worked for the Salvation Army in various states for 11 years.
This year, to make the bellringers' job a little less boring, groups of Lawrence youths are going to sing at two local churches as they different booths in town, she said.
Money collected in the red kettles makes up 50 percent of all contributions, which also come from people who donate through the mail, he said.
People toss the most money into the kebabs during the week before Christ-mas.
MOST PEOPLE probably already have completed their Christmas shopping the week before the holiday and have a better idea of what they are able to give to charities, she said, or most people are simply in more of a charitable mood as Christmas approaches.
r families who are eligible for assistance from the Salvation Army might receive food baskets for their Christmas meals or vouchers to shop for their holiday meals in a grocery store, she said.
For example, she said, if a couple was having trouble making ends meet and could afford a Christmas dinner but could not afford toys for their children, the Salvation Army would donate presents for the children.
Riley said that the Salvation Army did not have strict guidelines to determine who was eligible for the assistance.
The Salvation Army, which came to Lawrence in 1886, had been initiated in the United States in 1880 by a group of English evangelists.
The charitable organization has a school in Chicago, Riley said, that trains students in Army Air Command school's student graduate with the rank of lieutenant.
Campus brimming with holiday festivities
By JOHN HANNA Staff Reporter
Happy children will fill Hoe Auditorium next week for a holiday program that includes movies, caroling and a visit from Santa Claus.
About 1,500 Douglas County boy scouts, girl scouts and 4-H Club members will attend the 32nd annual Brommelskids Christmas Party at 2 p.m. of several celebrations in Douglas County that mark the holiday season.
"I can remember going to it as a child," said Sue Pine, a local 4-H leader and general party chairman. "You were old enough, they went to it, too."
PINE SAID that the children would be welcomed by Santa Claus as they entered the auditorium. Each child will receive a bag of candy, and cartoons, a movie and singing will follow.
“It’s just a fun time,” she said. “And every child gets to haul home a sack of candy, so that an incentive.”
The interest collected from a fund left by Lawrence banker Alfred Bromelsick will pay for the party.
Pine said, Bromselick, a bachelor, died in 1952 and left his money to the young people of Douglas County. The University services such as summer camps
Pine said that tickets to the party were available from local Boy Scout, Girl Scout and 4-H leaders.
The KU Endowment Association is also sponsoring a holiday lunch for retired faculty and unclassified staff members. The lunch will be from 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m. Dec. 11 in the Kansas Room of the Kansas Union.
The money used to pay for the party comes out of the association's Walter Bohnsteinkgler foundation from KU in 1910 with a degree in mechanical engineering, and, upon his death in 1954, left several sections of southwestern Kansas farmland to him. He also made money earned from working the land is used to benefit retired faculty members, McCorkill said.
IN ADDITION, KU's academic computer services is sponsoring a holiday dinner at p.m. Dec. 10 in the heights of Rushmore Park, E. XII, 26th Street. Employees of the KU office of information systems and academic computer services are invited
The Union is sponsoring two parties for its employees.
A party for several hundred part-time employees will be at 4:30 p.m. today in the Big B and Jayhawk rooms of the Union. More than 100 full-time invited to a party at 6:30 p.m. Dae is in the Big Eight and Jayhawk rooms.
Finally, the department of French and Italian, Le Cercle Francais, the French Club, and Phi Delta Phi, the French Honor Society, are sponsoring a holiday celebration at 7:30 in the Karsa Room of the Union.
Mary Johnson, organizer of the party, said about 75 people would probably attend.
"It's open to all lovers of French, and sometimes we've even had French people in the community come," she said. "But its mainly for the undergraduates who are studying French."
This year, the celebration features instrumental Renaissance music, a vocal solo and duet by members of the department, a short presentation of Christmas legends, and caroling. In addition, refreshments will be served.
