Approximately 700 will receive degrees
Students awaiting winter graduation
By JILL CASEY Staff Reporter
Some KU students this December will be doing some extra planning before the Christmas holidays. They will be ready to venture into something new
For a variety of reasons, including credits lost through transferring, late changes of major and extra activities during college careers, many students will be graduating in December. Some will be earning degrees a semester late.
Although the Office of Admissions and Records won't know the exact number of December graduates until requirements are actually fulfilled and
degrees granted, Gary Thompson,
director of the office, said that 709
students graduated last December and
that about the same number should
graduate this December. Last spring
3,309 undergraduates received degrees
and 354 graduated after the summer
semester.
KARI SANDERS, Bridgelwater, S.D. senior, is one student who lost credit hours when she transferred here from a school in Minnesota. She will earn a degree in pharmacy in December but finished her classroom work in September. Enrolled as a field student, she has been working and has also taken her Missouri board exam for pharmacy.
These figures don't include graduates
from the School of Law, the University of Kansas Medical Center or graduate school.
Students graduating this December plan to enter the work force, or to look for temporary employment until they can find jobs in their field.
Chuck Adams, Topena senior, graduating with a degree in Art History, who he planned to travel through the Rocky mountain states next semester.
CHRISTINE HEINZELMAN, Dallas senior, said she planned to study German in Austria for a semester. She will earn a degree in Electrical Engineering in December. When she returns, Heinzelman will be employed by a Los Angeles company that she worked for last summer.
Roger Casady, Liberty senior in chemical engineering, will go home to find temporary employment and send out resumes to find a permanent job
Sanders said that though she would be relieved to have her degree in hand she is a member.
The graduates have mixed feelings about coming back to walk down the aisle.
Casady, who is getting anxious to graduate, said "I've been in school as long as I can remember and need a period of respite."
Casady said that the 350-mile trip from Liberty might be too much trouble for the ceremony, a sentiment that Adams shared.
Hall residents bring Christmas cheer to hospital
By JOHN HANNA Staff Reporter
Santa Claus, with elves and about a dozen carolers, spent Friday night at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, spreading Christmas cheer and candy.

As part of the holiday celebration for residents of KU residence halls, some residents and administrators visited hospital's children's and geriatrics words.
Tim Barker, Leavenworth freshman and resident of Joseph R. Pearson Hall, filled the role of Santa Claus, JRP's resident director, Jim Silke, convinced him to take the role "over a few beers" Thursday night.
WHEN I found out they were going
to visit the kids, he said, "I said,
no, not I. I never played Santa
Claus before."
The elves — Amy Waiel, St. Louis freshman, Kitty DeLapp, Spring, Texas, freshman, and Roger Worrell, Florissant, Mo., sophomore — handed out candy cones as residents of the city, and Corbin halls sang carols to patients.
"They're probably depressed because they're in the hospital and they might not know how close Christmas is." De Lapp said before the visit. "Maybe they'll forget about being in the hospital."
Waibel added, "Santa Claus is kind of a kid's thing. It's fun to make other people happy, and it brings out the kid in me."
Julie Gross, GSP-Corbin resident director, said the idea for the hospital trip was formed during hall government meetings.
AFTER THE hospital visit, Santa Claus, the elves and the carolers went to a semi-formal dance in the GSP lobby. Hall residents also decorated inside of the building with several trees and lights.
At Templin Hall, third floor residents sponsored a Friday night dance for the
To attend the dance, residents and their guests had to donate a toy or a can of food. The toys and food were donated to the Emergency Services Council, a coalition of Lawrence social service and religious organizations that distributed the supplies to needy Lawrence residents.
benefit of the American Red Cross.
The dance, which featured a live band, was also sponsored by local FM radio station KLZR and the Miller Brewing Co. Anura Wickramasinghe, the floor's resident assistant, said that the hall donated profits from selling tickets, buttons and T-shirts to the Red Cross.
About 20 residents of the hall's second floor caroled last night at women's scholarship halls and other residence halls.
From icy treetops at Clinton Lake, a hawk soars through a brisk winter afternoon. An ice storm this weekend coated the Lawrence area in a prelude to Christmas.
Reggie Estell, Overland Park freshman, said that the group might also have been involved in the attack.
"We just wanted to go out and have some fun," he said. "And we wanted to go where we could contact the most people at the same time."
