YMCA, YWCA to Get Part of Campus Chest
Page 7
University Daily Kansan
(Editor's Note—This is the sixth in a series of articles telling of organizations supported by the Campus Chest.)
The YMCA and YWCA, nondenominational organizations that are interested in every student on the campus, will each receive five per cent, $384.65, of the Campus Chest goal this year.
The organizations carry out an extensive program for regular, graduate, and foreign students, as well as faculty. Both groups are under the direction of paid executive secretries. William Allaway handles the YMCA, and Mrs. William Allaway is in charge of the YWCA. Besides co-ordinating activities, the secretaries are available for personal conferences.
The YMCA and YWCA cooperate on social activities and other projects. Once a month they hold joint all-membership meetings. This year they organized a graduate student club and are helping with the Lawrence Christian Rural Overseas program.
The YMCA is planning to invite foreign students to discuss their countries at monthly symposiums, and they will sponsor a
field trip to Wichita for foreign students to visit schools and factories. The YWCA will place foreign students in Lawrence homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. They cooperate with the CCUN and World University service on the campus.
For faculty members, the YMCA holds luncheon forums with guest speakers every two weeks. To better acquaint faculty and students, the group sponsors "Fire-sides" through which faculty members visit in organized houses.
As a service to the Lawrence community, the YMCA sends food to needy families at Christmas, and this year they are helping with leadership of Cub Scouts. The YWCA sews at the community sewing center, makes tray favors for hospitals, provides a baby sitting bureau, and gives a party for underprivileged children. They plan to sing carols at hospitals during the Christmas season.
Both the YMCA and YWCA have commission groups which meet weekly to discuss such topics as Christian living, community service, and current events.
As campus activities, the YMCA participates in intramural sports, and YWCA members help at the polls during campus elections. The YMCA sponsors the Rock Chalk Revue.
The organizations are planning a trip to the United Nations in April. They will visit the security council and have meetings with United Nations representatives.
Members interested in religious vocations will have an opportunity to visit the Chicago Theological seminary in November. In January the groups are sponsoring a ski trip in Colorado.
The National Student Assembly of the YMCA and YWCA will be held at KU from Dec. 27 to Jan. 2. Approximately 1,500 representatives from over the United States will attend.
The activities of the YMCA and YWCA are so varied that almost every person on the campus can find an interest. The money that the groups receive from the Campus Chest will directly help KU students.
Prosecution Trys To Unseat Juror
Cleveland-(U.P.) Prosecution attorneys seeking to convict Dr. Samuel H. Sheppard of the first degree murder of his wife promised a vigorous fight today to unseat a juror who pleaded guilty to a morals charge 11 years ago.
The juror was James R. Manning, 38, who admitted in 1943 to "occupying an automobile for the purposes of lewdness" with a 16-year-old boy. His wife, Mrs. Ferne Manning, said he would appear in court today when the trial resumes after a weekend recess because "he's no coward."
"Certainly, he'll go to court," she told reporters. "That's what he's supposed to do."
Assistant prosecutors John J. Mahon said the state's fight to unseat Manning would be delayed until two alternate jurors are selected this morning. He said the trial would resume "as if nothing had happened."
Mr. Mahon indicated he wante first to seat the two alternates, so if he is successful in ousting Manning someone will be available immediately to replace him.
"We certainly would have gotten him off the jury if we had known about the morals charge," Mr. Mahon said. "We're still going to try to get him off. How we do it, however, remains to be settled."
An anonymous telephone call to the prosecutor's office Friday disclosed Manning's conviction. Being a misdeanator, it did not disqualify him from service on the jury that will try Sheppard on charges he murdered his pregnant wife last July 4.

"The Malta Story"
As a result of the bad weather, the tower, which is 1,000 feet tall, was hidden from view and the birds who were flying low to escape the weather, hit the tower, suffering fatal head and neck injuries.
Investigations were made immediately and a large number of birds were sent in to the Ornithology department, the greatest number being by the Topeka Audubon society.
Ornithology Group Solves Mystery of Dead Birds
During the latter part of September, several hundred birds were found dead one mile west of Topeka near the WIBW-TV tower, their death being somewhat of a mystery. Since then, however, the University department of Ornithology has carried on extensive work concerning the matter and has partly solved it.
It is not yet known whether the red lights on the tower attracted the birds or not.
To date approximately 1,100 birds have been sent in, with 188 being prepared as study skins, 75 as skeletons, and the rest being discarded after they were weighed and identified according to species.
The purpose of the investigation was to determine where the birds were migrating from. This is done by examining the bird for amount of fat. Because a bird builds up fat in preparation for migration, you can tell how far it has traveled by the amount of fat left on it.
The next step is determining what species the bird belongs to. As certain species of birds are found only in definite areas of the country, they can determine quite accurately where the bird is from.
By these two methods the Ornithology department discovered that the birds migrated from directly Kashmir to Lake and the Rocky Mountain regions.
Most of the birds were small, the largest being a blue wing teal.
Conducting the studies was Dr. H. B. Tordopp, head of the department of Ornithology. Others were Robert Dickerman, museum collector; Robert Mengel, consulting bibliographer of the Ellis ornithological library in Watson library, and graduate students S. G. Van Hoose, J. W. Hardy, and G. E. Wolfenden.
