Salvation Army's Kettles Bring Christmas to Needy
By DIANE ARMSTRONG
Kansan Staff Writer
The Salvation Army's rattle and the changing bell have become symbols of good will and care during the holiday season.
THE SALVATION ARMY'S Christmas Cheer Program was launched the day following Thanksgiving for the needy of Lawrence, said Captain Howard of the Salvation Army here.
"The purpose of the program is to make Christmas Day a happy one." Chase said.
He said that this may include either a check for a family to purchase their own Christmas dinner or a basket of goods for their holiday meal. Provision might also be made for small
in four ways, according to Cha$^{a}$
The appeal for support is made
1. There is a money appeal made by citizens who man the kettles and ring the bells. Kettles are set in five locations, with two buildings downtown. With the shoppers going more along, the store owners have been made to establish kettle sites in nudity areas.
2. There is a mail appeal.
Letters asking for donations are sent to people who contributed
to the fundraiser, who are new to the community
orders either by check or by delivery.
4. There is issuing of grocery
THE SALVATION ARMY serves as a clearing house to indicate which families are being housed in the area that are not, according to Chase.
Chase said that the Christmas drive does not subtract funds from the overall budget and said the Salvation Army was funded by the United Fund and the National Guard to the Salvation Army's appeal to the general public during the holiday.
The Salvation Army is currently working in conjunction with the Lawrence Christmas
Any money left after gifts and honeys have been provided will be given to the plumment wife because of the cuts made this year, according to the judge.
"Each person in the hospitals and nursing homes in Lawrence will receive such a gift," Chase said.
The amount of mooney needed and the amount expected determine the goal for the Christmas drive. Chase said
Chase said, for example, an elderly couple may receive a gift from Turkey which could be stretched beyond Christmas Day. There will also be a small amount of money left for each to buy a gift

Bureau to provide gifts for the needy, said Chase. Since the "Toys for Tots Program" gathers toys for children, the Bureau will be providing gifts for other members of the family, he said.
For every $10 that is contributed, a bulb will be lit, Chase said.
"This year's goal is $5,500," he said.
"The Salvation Army's Tree of Light is downtown, across from the No. 1 fire station," Chase said.
HE SAID THAT ONE LADY offered a contribution instead of buying a new pair of shoes. He received the memory of a son killed in Vietnam.
"If every bulb on the tree is lit, it will represent $6,000 of contributions," he said. "People have been very generous this year."
"Some of the service organizations and campus organizations have offered support," he said.
"Many of these contributions have stories behind them," Chase said.
Chase said that some had offered to man the kettles for one day, "Competing to see who could raise the most money."
"As a whole, university students are supporting what
He said that one fraternity planned a cook-making party for the children of needy families. In answer to whether Salvation Army should start to man the kettles earlier, Chase said, "We Christians are in the Christmas spirit before Thanksgiving."

The goals of the Salvation Army appeal are 1) to give gifts and 2) to strengthen family ties, according to Chase.

"This effort is being undertaken in several states," said John W. Burridge, some people in Colorado. They (students) are participating more as individuals than as teachers, a lot of students involved in them.
"The English department has
"The ideal would be that perhaps students are becoming more involved as community members rather than just as outsiders going out and doing things as being part of students." Wolfe commented.

GLENN MEYER, Hillsboro senior, and Mary Pitman, Wichita sophomore, are the only English majors to the College Assembly. They thought there was little participation by the students in the College Assembly meeting; students for four experienced "somewhat laughed at." The faculty still had not adjusted to student input. They seemed to think that there was no effective debate.
Miss Pitman thought perhaps any people were working in the office (would they did not want to be categorized automatically with others?)
Three students, familiar with the three moves to create a sense of community within the English department, talked about their on the quiet campus and their experience in administration affirms.
"You're forced into the role of the representative youth that you have in your community, sort of want to attend from it. You don't want that influence on you, for people to normally believe this about you," she said.
"What many people are doing now is dealing with themselves and their own personal life styles."

been the attitude, revealed through the expressions and tone of voice of the three students, that they had not experienced a context of personal relationships. All three students seemed well-educated, but the significant was being accomplished.)
He suggested that part of the solution might lie in such innovations as integrated programs. A program he set up for KU freshmen and sophomores through a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts must also provide course content from various departments, a program of 24 credit hours has been created to meet these requirements for English, Speech, Western Civilization and Indian courses in the humanities.
"The Weakest Reader was at least something people were doing (together). They are trying to get some kind of community input from students. University rather than just an individual. It works by doing it because by trying to get others involved, you get involved more; You get some feeling that you're part of a community." Miss Pitman said.
She thought it was more effective to contact contacts than to try to solve "abstract" problems beyond the scope of her own life at the age of 30.
QUINN SAID the answer was to find a structure and content of study that students would con-
firm to their own individualize
"Students have found that the University has nothing to do with their lives, and in desperation they have had no politicalization of the University. I don't think this is the way to do it, and I think they are getting bored with it; This is borne out in Quinn remarked.
Dennis Quinn, director of the Dennis Quinn Institute's 1989 HOPE Award, thought that most student protests were caused by the relationship of the students to their teachers.
"I don't want to diffuse my energy beyond the individual level." Miss Pitman commented
Up. they say the University is hopeless. I would say you can change it by becoming a real teacher by blowing it up." Quinn said.
Quinn said that most of the radical leaders had left the campus when the University started letting more students participate in the system He began frustrating for them to tool frustrating for them to work for long-range change through small steps.
"When you put someone on the committee, then he is absorbed into the system. The old saying is that the best way to shut someone up is to put him on a committee," Quinn said. "Many times the people who work for you do not to permit radical change, only moderate deviations.
"THE REAL ONES (radicals), the bomb-throwers are not in classes anymore. They've given
"In turn, this leads to more frustration because representatives in the committee system have made the change which they think is significant. There's only the right number of changes," commented Quinn
Sykes said that if Americans had strong moral objections to the war as a war, they would have been killed many of the enemies were killed.
He thought that in the '50s and '60s, when discrimination was more obvious, it was easier for a man to see it and to take a stand.
through college and invested that much time and money in it, they kind of have a stake in the system already," he said.
Sykes said he was glad he was in the Student Senate, not because he could bring about any new rules, but because we see how things were done and what was going on more see more blacks in the Student Senate.
"NOW IT'S AN air war instead of a ground war." "People who have gone
SUNIE TEEGARDEN, a former KU student and now an active member of the Women's group, has been in charge of a group had used one or two small scale demonstrations to bring issues before the public; she did not believe mass protests were means for long-range change.
She explained that the approach of the Women's Coalition was to combine personal and institutional efforts with situations in everyday life,
"... the bombthrowers are not in classes anymore. They've given up; they say the University is hopeless, I would say you can change it only by becoming a real student, not by blowing it up."
"People who have gone
SHE THOUGHT THAT future organization for change would be through coitions of small special interest groups in which many all know each other personally needed for change on the local level.
The Women's Coalition at KU worked through small groups of women and men who had no formal organizational structure and no officers. Their projects, mostly geared for women, included a frontation, included a newsletter, speakers bureau, films and abortion and birth control.
David Awbrey, Lawrence graduate student and KU student body president in 1989, agreed that absorption of student leaders into the campus meritorial化, which created a "Pepsi proletariat," had quieted the mood of the campus In addition, Awbrey thought that he and other radical leaders had grown their own potential to abuse power
"TWO OR THREE years ago I would think about the image of a radical student leader and wonder what now do I have to do today to keep up my image," Bryan said. "I was playing a role and I was playing a role and that. I was simply being manipulated by media ideas."
'I saw that when I got in a position of power, I was just as egistical and could hurt people or Nixon, like LBJ or Nixon', he remarked.
"More and more smaller
Another factor contributing to the quiet mood, he believed, was the absence of his former romantic appeal after the shootings at Kent State. Jackson was the target.
"We didn't understand the power of physical force; there was a romanticization of it and an expectation that TV generation and seeing Might Mouse come to the rescue and Roy Rogers come to the rescue. That nature. It was good for them to have a positive outlook, but it sure was anything organized political program around."

As a good example of the trend he described toward establishing individual life styles and value systems, Awbrey came to the attention by carrying a copy of The Responsible Self by H. Reinhold Nieuhr.
HE IS NOW enrolled in classes in the School of Religion, which, he reported, had a dramatic increase in enrollment this year.
"The foundation I work from will be different now. Two years ago, we were based on age, Awbrua were based. Even if we got 90 per cent of the campus involved in action, it might not be good. What we need is some way to get active people who can act on ethical principles."
in presenting gifts to the needy,
caution must be taken, said
Chase. All gifts must first be
brought through the family, he
said.
"IN NOME CASES, the needy would rather not receive support than to offer effort to maintain the dignity of the man as the breadwinner of his family."
He said that sometimes the needy can be satisfied with a basket of goods, but that the Salvation prefers to make the invitation in terms of a check so the family can buy their own Christmas buying are their own Christmas
There are problems involved with these gifts. Chase said, "I don't know where to find good ones themselves, but they are not aware of the circumstances."
"Outwardly, they may not appear to need financial aid and the groups feel that support should be given elsewhere." Army determines that they are desperately in need of support.
Lawrence Human Resources Director Vern Sturms announced Thursday that he was resigning from his post Jan. 15. Sturms has accepted the position of the first human resources director for Muskegon County, Mich.
