Poor Feel Welfare Cuts
By TED BYBEL
Kanagai Staff Writer
Recent legislative cuts in the welfare budget have put increased demands on social service agencies for emergency services concerned in Kansai in the Lawrence area to establish the Emergency Service Council (ESC) to coordinate services in supplementing the needs of people unable to manage on their own and to increase the compounded problems to the public.
Specific functions of the ESC are to provide food, funds, clothing and job counseling to low income and welfare families, and work with local welfare officials in meeting the needs of welfare
In improving communications, the ESC is lobbying with
"An increased number of Lawrence families have requested assistance through the schools . . . "
legislators against policies which they say create undue hardships on welfare recipients.
The ESC is comprised of representatives from community and university organizations in meeting the needs of the poor. The originator is the Rev. Beezer, representing Ministerial Alliance.
Beamer attributes the increase in demand for emergency services to the increases in usage of government agencies and the general condition of the economy, the squeeze on elderly people on social assistance and in recent welfare cuts.
Of the families that have requested help most have been forced to wear clothing. Many of the requests have been made from people who are not familiar with physical handicaps. In one case, a family of four had been existing together for 50 years.
The need for food prompted the ESC to establish a food bank for collecting and distributing food to the flooded and emergency cases. Receiving stations were started at the Ballard Center, Headquarters, and Grosvenor Church. The Salvation Army has also been receiving goods for ESC. Distribution centers were located in the Ballard Center and Headquarters.
The ESC food bank has also started a food voucher system through which recipients can supplement canned goods with other food supplies. The area are freeable at local grocery stores.
The program is aimed at being an assistance program rather than merely handouts in cases where food and medical temporary need. According to Mrs. Lenore Fendee, co-director of the Ballard Center, they are assisting families in need of money for food and gas to get a
"A family of five visited the center. They were out of food and the husband was awaiting a job."
New Watkins Doctor Was Born in India
One of the newer members of the Watkins Hospital staff is Dr Bangshi Mukherji, a native of India.
A year later Mukherji left in study to study in Great Britain where he was awarded membership in the Royal College of Physicians
After graduating first in his class in 1944 at Carmichael Medical College in Calcutta, Dr. Mukherjee accepted a position on the staff. Dr. B. C. Roy, a doctor, noted for his work in India.
After a year of study, Mukherjee returned to India where he practiced medicine until his death. In 2014, the "staff hospital" in June of this year.

While in Great Britain, Mukherjee practiced at the National College of Music. Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh
Although there are approximately 100 colleges of medicine in India, according to Dr. Mukherjee, there are not many women who suffer "The shortage is due," said Dr. Mukherji, "two factors."
"There are not enough good teachers for the medical schools and secondly, the doctors that do it in the country, who centers rather than in the country. The doctors go to the cities because in the country they don't need them."
Bahgshi Mukherii
Practicing medicine in the United States is very different from practicing medicine in other countries. We use Mukherji, "we treat people for malnutrition and infectious diseases while in the United States we treat people such as mental illness and ulcers."
Though he has a son still in India attending medical school, Dr Mukherji would like to remain in the United States. US may become the most advanced nation in the world, he said.
Student Aid Problems Cleared Up' at Haskell
Financial difficulties resulting from federal budget cuts have forced the Haskell Indian Junior College should be "cleared up" now, according to Frank Quiring, a professor at the college.
The grants for about 7 married students who needed off-campus housing. In August, the financial aid office at flaskel arranged loans to federal grant money was received.
Joseph L. Mahickteno, financial aid officer, said Wednesday that the Bureau under the auspices of the Bureau of Indian Affairs had used these patrician grants and loans to help many others and many delays had occurred.

Gamma Phi's Named No. 1
The Gamma Phi Beta's not only walked off with the spirit week cards but made some points for the relay events Saturday afternoon at Sigma Chi Derby Day. This entitles them to two days' service by the Sigma Chi Cardinals.
The Delta Gamma's received 2nd place in the events and the Alpha Delta Pi's received 3rd. The service is provided by service by Sigma Chik's Kim Chapman, Topeka sophomore and member of Alpha Chi Kappa, who was a graduate day queen.
Sigma Chi Derby Day was a success this year, said Terry Horton, the associate director of committee. The Sigma Chi's made $300 profit from this project which they will donate to Wallace University with minimal brain damage.
Mrs. Findley said, "Ballard assisted them with money for food, found the wife a part-time job, and the husband a manager for several days to repay what we had given them. The family further agreed to solicit other families to gather canned goods in order to help
On campus, food collection points have been set up at the United Ministries Center, 1204 Oread, and the KUY office in the

students are the Employment Assistance Service Grant, for students in vocations and trades and distributed through the tribal education bureau of the Ecuadorian Grant, given through the Bureau of Indian Affairs' area level to students enrolled in a general education curriculum offered by the college to Indian students attending colleges and universities.
Mrs Louise Cook, social worker in the Lawrence school
district said, "An increased number of Lawrence families have requested assistance through the schools for free or reduced price lunches, for textbooks and other materials, supplies and for free clothing."
In cases where this cannot be made, money from the ESC could be doubled. Often school children in low income and welfare families we need to invest in a limited family budget can't be stretched to warm clothing, hot drinks.
The ESC point out that in many cases the difference between "just barely making it" and having serious survival problems is that a family with two ESC families is no more than the price of two football tickets a week.

No activity fee was actually listed in the general information catalogs of the 1940s. Instead, funds for student activities were collected as part of the "incidental Fee."
Some students responding to the poll on activity fees might suggest a return to the system used in 1932. The only required fee in that year was for student government membership; 25 cents for men and 50 cents for women. Three ticket options were available for concert tickets, a ticket for concert series, Community Course and dramatic productions, $4.50; Jahyawha, $4.80; and Student Union dues, $2.50. The 1939 University of Kansas General Information Catalog listed general activity fees as $8 for concerts or for the spring. A separate ticket costing $1.50 was required if you attended basketball games.
In 1955 a separate listing for an activity fee was required. The student was assigned an $11 activity fee, each student was required to pay a $7.50 Student Union Fee. This fee paid for the maintenance of the Kansas Union and University libraries.
The present $24-a-year activity fee generates for $400,000 in revenue each year. This money is allocated by the Student Senate. The senate has had the power to allocate activity fee money for two years, more that time activity fee allocations were made almost entirely by the University administration.
The activity fee has historically gone to finance student government, University Daily Kansan subscriptions, athletes and other events and increasingly for student organizations.
