Mather Praises Red Peppers For Their Football Support
Chuck Mather, in a letter to the Red Peppers, commended them for their good work in supporting the football team. The letter, which was read at the Red Pepper meeting yesterday, said in part:
"It has been most encouraging this year to have the backing of your group. You have had such splendid enthusiasm that it has been heartening in these dark days. I want you to know that we will be doing everything possible this winter to improve our skill so you will have something more to cheer about.
"I know you will be pleased to hear that one of the Missouri people mentioned that they had
never seen such enthusiasm, even for a 5-yard gain. It is remarkable and if their students had shown the same, they would have been in the Orange Bowl this year."
Coach Mather also asked the Red Peppers to form a committee to arrange dates with "girls interested in athletics" for high school boys interested in football who would be visiting the campus in the future.

Children See Santa, Play Games at Party,
By LARRY HEIL
Santa Claus made an early stop in Lawrence this weekend for a group of children from the Life Line home, Kansas City.
Firm Gives $200 For Scholarships
A two-hundred dollar check to be used for student awards has been given to George M. Beal, chairman of the department of architecture and architectural drawing, by George H. Miehl, president of the Detroit firm of Albert Kahn Associated Architects and Engineers.
At a recent meeting of the faculty of the department it was decided to divide the money into two prizes. Fifty dollars will be awarded to the KU student chapter of the American Institute of Architects to be used for car expenses in transportation of students to the national convention in Minneapolis in June. Plans being worked out by the officers of the chapter will be submitted to the department chairman for approval.
One hundred and fifty dollars will be awarded this spring to a returning student next fall. The awards committee of the department will review cases and together with the department chairman will make the selection. The announcement will be made at the annual spring banquet. The award is to be based primarily on the basis of need, to a student architect or architectural engineer, who is carrying a heavy outside work load and at the same time doing well in his scholastic work.
Tau Kappa Epsilon, social fraternity gave a Christmas party for 25 children at the chapter house Saturday. Gifts, tree trimming, magic, and caroling were included in the afternoon's program.
Fraternity members brought the children to Lawrence in time for lunch at the chapter house. After downing man-sized quantities of hamburgers, they watched a magic show given by Larry Heil, journalism junior.
While waiting for Santa, they hung Christmas bulbs, sang, and gave the house a thorough inspection. Some of the boys were awed by the ROTC uniforms which they found, and borrowed midshipmen and Air Force cadets hat to wear throughout the party. They commented that the rooms were quite messy compared with those at the children's home.
St. Nick (William F. F. Fox, engineering sophomore), brought squeals of delight from all, except a few, skentics.
One remarked, "I hit him in the stomach, and he's wearing a pillow."
Each child received an individual present. The children opened the packages excitedly and willingly shared the toys with the college men and their dates. The rest of the afternoon was spent playing with the trucks, models, games and walkie-talkies.
