Mail Letters Earlier, KU Post Office Advises
"Students can get a lot better service on mail sent out from the University if they will get it to the post office or in a mailbox as early in the day as possible." Bruce McKee, station superintendent of the University post office, said yesterday.
He said that on an average day the University Post office handles about 3500 letters. However, this number increases sharply during holiday seasons. Christmas, for instance, requires mailing of about 13,000 letters each day.
Mr. McKee said the University station must dispatch all its mail by 6 p.m., when it is called for by a dispatcher from the Lawrence post office. He said that it made little difference at what time during the day a letter was mailed, but that early mailing of all letters made it easier to get the mail out at this time. Since all mail leaves the state at the same time, a large amount of mail at the last minute forces the post office to leave behind some until the next day's shipment.
Leslie Beguelin, part time student and dispatcher for the University station, said that improperly addressed mail was often sent back to the sender.
"However, we try to deliver improperly addressed mail here, if possible," he said. "It takes from one to two days longer." Mr. McKee said that such elementary things as putting the stamps in the upper right hand corner of the envelope speeded the handling of the mail.
December will mark Mr. McKee's 34th year in the postal service. Working under him at the University Postal station are two carriers, a dispatcher, a clerk, and a window clerk

Find a Fountain Pen, Get a French Friend
The student who found a black gold-topped Waterman fountain pen in the east end of Strong hall base Monday afternoon can help re-establish the United States by returning the pen to its rightful owner.
Marie Suzanne Wohl, a phylogology student from Paris, was waiting for class to start at 1:50 p.m. Monday. When class began, she jumped up and evidently dropped her fountain pen. Discovering that her pen was missing, she returned to look for it—and it was nowhere to be found.
So whoever found the pen in the area of the hall table across from the psychology department please turn it in at the business office before Miss Wohl loses her faith in America.

Ike Emphatic- No Barnstorm
Washington—(U.P.)—President Eisenhower will plug for election of a Republican congress next year but he won't barnstorm the country endorsing individual candidates.
should be examined today. Call for appointment. Any lens or Prescription duplicated. LAWRENCE OPTICAL CO. Phone 425 1025 Mass.
Political advisers said today that was what the president meant in telling a news conference yesterday that he absolutely will not campaign in state or congressional elections.
White House intimates said Mr. Eisenhower's decision was motivated by two thoughts:
If the Republicans make a good record they won't need to ride his coat tails to victory in the 1954 elections.
He will not put the prestige of his office at stake in any single district or state.
Mr. Eisenhower feels his only role in the mid-term campaign should be a national appeal, probably on radio and television, for a Republican victory to carry forward programs started in the first two years of the GOP administration.
He emphatically ruled out any barnstorming or "whistle stop" touring such as former President Truman conducted in 1950. Thumping the table for emphasis, he said firmly the law required that there be no tactical races and he had no intention of getting into partisan struggles in any district or state.
It was a disappointment for some Republicans in congress who had been hoping Mr. Eisenhower would take an active hand in next year's campaign.

St. Louis — (UP)—The mystery of the missing half of the $600,000 Bobby Greenlease ransom thickened today as top police officials said they believe it was never brought to St. Louis.
Ransom Money Puzzle Thickens
St. Louis was the scene of the capture of Carl Austin Hall 43 hours after he picked up the record-breaking ransom.
About $395,000 of the ransom has never been found. A top police board here is conducting a re-opened investigation into the details of the arrest and the whereabouts of the loot.
The board yesterday questioned police Lt. Louis Shoulders, one of two officers who arrested Hall.
Afterwards police chief Jeremiah O'Connell said "from what I know so far, I don't think the $300,000 was ever brought here." But he added the investigators have "not reached any conclusion."
Hall collected the ransom near Kansas City, the home of his victim's wealthy father. He had already killed and buried him at comfortable St. Joseph Mo. home of his accomplice, Mrs. Bonnie Brown Heady.
Hall and Mrs. Heady then came to St. Louis and had a falling out. In a short time the wild-spending Hall was arrested on a cab driver's tip.
Hall had two suitcases stuffed with $233,000 when Lt. Shoulders and patrolman Elmer Dolan arrested him in the Town House apartments Oct. 6. About $2,000 of the rest of the loot was recovered elsewhere.
Various theories have been advanced on what became of the rest of the money. They include the possibility that Hall buried the money near St. Louis when he took an 80-mile ride in a rented car before his arrest.
It was believed the money might have been stolen when Hall held an alcoholic fling with a St. Louis prostitute, Sandra O'Day.
Hall, Mrs. Heady and Miss O'Day are all being held in Kansas City.

Recipe for Field Trip: Some Dig,Some Sculpt
There's nothing like a field trip on a warm October afternoon, and if you don't believe it just ask the advanced ceramics class of Sheldon Carey, ceramics professor, and a sculpturing class of Elden Tefft, design department instructor.
Prof. Carey and his class took a field trip Monday into Jefferson county to study and collect samples of clay which could be used in ceramics. Mr. Tefft's sculpturing class visited a farm just outside of Lawrence yesterday to study the horses as subjects for sculpture.
The ceramics class, using equipment supplied by the ceramics division of the State Geological Survey, dug up several samples of clay. One type was the common reddish color and the other was a white clay.
Prof. Carey said the purpose of the trip was to show students what their modeling clay actually looked like in the field, as well as to collect samples.
Members of the ceramics class who made the trip were Janice Brown, Margaret Brown, Janie Gagelman, Marilyn Lovelady, and Kay Magers, juniors; Mary Cough-
Two horses served as models for the sculpturing class. "One was fine," Mr. Teft said, "but the other wouldn't hold still." Using a modeling compound, Mr. Teft's class constructed their horses around an armature that served as a framework or skeleton for their sculptures.
enour' Robert W, Fisher, Jean Holt and Doyleen Jones, sophomores; Barbara Slough, senior, and Isabelle Gladdis, graduate student. All are in fine arts.
Sculpture students making the field trip were Barbara Boole, Sue Wright, Condon Kuhl, Robert W. Fisher, Margaret Donnelly, Larry Cunningham, and Marilyn Claunch, sophomores; and Eleanor Shyder and Jane Figge, juniors.
