Students Invited To Help Landscape
University students have been invited to help North Lawrence citizens replace trees, shrubs and flowers, which were lost in last summer's flood.
This project of relandscaping North Lawrence is being sponsored by the arts committee of the Lawrence branch of the American Association of University Women, who are working in co-operation with several other clubs in the community.
AAUW is acting as an agent through which people may give plantings, work or money. University students may register for work, and assignments to specific homes will be made.
Two committees, one each from the Woodland Parent-Teacher association and the Lincoln Parent-Teacher association, will receive requests for materials and labor from the flood victims.
To make gifts of work or plants, students should call Miss Lalia Walling, 2527, or Mrs. Robert Stump, 1007W or Mrs. W. C. McNown, 3043 between the hours of 9 and 11 a.m. or call Mrs. Alvin Schild, 1839W between 7:3 and 9 a.m.

two coaches and several dormitory superintendents and nurses.
Besides the 200 elementary teachers, schools for American children in the Far East need 26 French, Spanish and Latin instructors.
"Wherever there is a military base, the Army sets up a school for the soldiers' children," Mr. Chandler said. "In both Europe and the Far East there is a great need for the more experienced individual who can teach several grades as is done in our country schools."
Mr. Chandler said he was unable to place many persons in these jobs because stricter Army regulations require the applicant to have at least two years of experience. Other requirements state the applicant must have a teaching degree, men must be between the ages of 25 and 55. and women from 25 to 45.
Salaries start from $4,205 for elementary teachers to $5,600 for elementary principals.
Representatives of the Army Overseas service will be in Kansas City, Mo., Thursday, March 20 through Saturday, March 22 to interview candidates for these jobs.
"The placement bureau also has about 50 positions in the Panama Canal zone," Mr. Chandler said. "There is no 'country school' teaching there. Each teacher has his own particular grade or class. Salaries begin from $3,537 to $4,537."
Alaska is also demanding teachers. The rapidly expanding population of Anchorage and Fairbanks in the last 10 years has created a need for more teaching personnel.
Elementary teachers are in great demand because the people who are moving to Alaska are young men and women raising families, Mr. Chandler said.
