Clothing Sent to Vietnam's Orphans
By HAL EDWARDS Kansan Staff Writer
Old clothes and papers may be just waste to make KU students, but they are precious items to the needy children of the Montagard Tribe Orphanage, situated in the southern section of South Vietnam.
Two military affiliated organizations plan to collect a ton of clothing for the children of the orphanage The materials will be donated to the Rifles. Rifles a tri-service military fraternity and the E-Co. Beers, a sister organization, can have the bundles ready for shipment. David O'Rourke, operations manager for the Pershing Rifles said Monday.
O'Rourke said that the organizations had sent one onboard shipment to the organization to ensure a continuous drive this year, and that shipments would be made as soon as tons of material were delivered.
He said, however, that it had taken $260,000 to ship each ton of the shipments this year would be donated to the organic organics collectors.
"The funds needed to send the supplies to the orphanage are raised in several different

manners," said O'Rourke. "The main source of cash is through the collection of used papers and paper bags to printing companies." he said
The companies buy 100 pounds of paper for 30 cents, he said.
"We do, however, at this time save enough money of our own to send the first shipment whenever we get it. After that it will depend in how much money is made from the selling of the used paper.
"There is an outside chance that we might be able to send the clothes through the Air Force, but the chances are very remote. If it stands now we must send it through the mail," O'Rourke said.
Because of their financial need, he said, the paper drive is very important. He said that if students called 842-7894 during the day, or 842-0414 at night they might pick up the papers or clothes.
O'Rourke explained that the clothes were sent to Vietnam and
were not used here because the organizations thought that the Vietnam orphanage had a remeeder need.
"We thought about sending the clothes to the inner-city area in Kansas but we fell for the mercy of our business and were informed that a typhoon caused widespread destruction in the area and left many people homeless. We can not help everybody. We have direct contact with a local Vietnamese community in Vietnam, who informed us of the orphanage so we decided to send the clothes there because we knew someone at the other end of the city."
O'Rourke said that membership in the Pershing Rifles and the E-Co. Berrets was open to men, but the groups were BOTTEN oriented.
The Pershing Rifles and the E-Co. Berretts are similar to any other school organization except that they were not a sub-unit of O'Rourke said, but that a large

A CASTLE IN LAWRENCE?
Probably few know the legend of the enchanting Castle Tea Room that reigns conspicuously on Massachusetts Street
The Castle was built in 1894 as a home for J. N. Roberts, a retired Civil War general. He was a man of great wealth with an income from patents on wooden containers carved in the shape of castles.
Each of the fifteen rooms of the Castle is finished in a different type of wood. The dining rooms currently use in are elegantly finished in birch, cherry, oak, walnut, svaccomate and pine. The wood carving was all done by hand by Sidney Endacott of England, a brother of Frank Endeacott, a sculptor and artist, and some of his work is in the drawing room of the Lord Halifax home.
There are five beautiful fireplaces in the house, each a unique design with various colored marble and brick. The original dining room is very amenable with an unusual built-in sideboard and chin stair. A recess cluster of mirrors and stained glass window above the fireplace gives the effect of an altar in a channel.
The tower, which gives the old castle appearance, has a stoneway leading to the third floor. Above the tower room is a garden pottery which, in bygone days, was shaded with wainspans and used during the summer months. The ballroom with spacious window seats on the third floor is available for private renting.
If you have never been inside the Gastle Tea Room, come and dine in the only restaurant in Lawrence with such a beautiful historical and cultural background. The only way to really enjoy the place is by dining here.
