Kansans' sharing recognized

For 27 years, KU foreign students have learned about life in a small Midwestern town at Thanksgiving through the hospitality of the residents
About 30 Burns residents were honored yesterday at an appreciation dinner at the Kansas Union. Chancellor Gene A. Budg insisted a special citation to Betty and Ed Grimwood, coordinators of the program, recognizing the hospitality of the town, about 18 miles north of El
Burns, about 18 miles north of El Dorado, has a population of 225.
Clark Coan, director of foreign student services, said that the dinner was to show the University's appreciation to the central Kansas town for the cordiality it has shown to foreign students at the University of Kansas. In addition to the Thanksgiving visit, many of the families come to Lawrence
in April or May for a picnic with "their" students, he said.
"Many long-lasting friendships have evolved over the years," he said, "and participating foreign students who to the States frequently visit Burns."
"We sould never have had the success with this without the cooperation of Dean Coan and his staff," she said.
Betty Grimwood gave much of the credit of the program's success to the foreign student office.
A scrapbook of mementos and clippings about the program also was presented to the Grimwoods at the dinner.
The project began in 1954, when Betty Grimwool read a similar program in Ohio. She contacted Donald Aiderson, then the foreign student adviser and helped start the program. There were about 120 foreign students at KU at that time.
Today, there are about 1,500 foreign students at KU, and each

thanksgiving, some of them spend a traditional holiday in Burns.
Each October, the Grimwinds contact the foreign students office and ask for a specific number of students. The number differs from year to year, according to how many host families participate.
Burglaries also broke into Independent Colin Laundromat, 201 W. 28th St. After using a key to break into the money changer, Burglaries stole $320 worth of quarters, police said. There are no suspects.
Betty Grimwood said that the visit gave foreign students a chance to participate in a traditional American holiday.
A brief biography of each student is sent to the Grimwoods, and plans are made for the students' visit.
Coan said 758 students had been involved in the program over the years. He said the students were treated as members of the family.
"It's something they would miss by staying on campus," she said.
Police said there was no sign of forced entry. Burglar's entered Room 308 and stole three IBM Selectric tworewriters. There are no suspects.

Just because Leavenworth is the site of a federal prison is no reason to mock its wish to acquire the Richard Nixon presidential library, Clyde Grade, the president of the National Bank of Levenworth, said recently.
"Our intentions behind wanting the Nixon library are as admirable as any other city's are," he said.
"There's been a lot of talk locally about the possibility of our town being accepted for an occasional joke here and the response has been pretty positive."
Grade said the city commission set up a task force earlier in the week to look into all variables associated with such an operation.

Leavenworth bids for Nixon library
"The task force will conduct their investigations with knowledgeable history of the two proposed sites in the sand sea." The federal costs will also be considered."

He said other cities that had previously considered the library and then rejected it are all giving the plan a chance which hurts Leavenworth's chances.
HE SAID that the two proposed sites were 10 acres owned by Shannon Wiley, a town resident, and 40 acres owned by another business corporation. Thexico corporation who lives in Colombia.
HE SAID that if the Nixon library were in Leavenworth, would be central between the Eisenhower library in Chicago and Truman library in Independence. Mo.
Wiley said that his father quickly suggested the site after the Leavenworth City Commission discussed the question of trying to get the Nixon library.
Stan Moterson, the lawyer who proposed the library, said it was standard procedure for his office to not handle documents until it had received a written notice.
"My dad's basic philosophy behind donating the land is that he feels it would be an honor to have any past library built on his land." Wilev said.
"The site that my dad has proposed is located on the west end of town at Pilot Knob, which overlooks the city."
"The problem is that no one from the Nixon committee has looked over our city," he said. "The task force said that as soon as they compile their data, they propose to the Nixon lawyer who first suggested that a Nixon library be built."
Wiley's son, Bruce, said his father's policy for offering the land was non-public.
The yearbook staff will be distributing the 1982 Jayhawker yearbook in front of Hoch Auditorium for the next two weeks, Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Tuesday through Friday, by business manager, said yesterday.
"I read in a magazine that people from Leavenworth were considering the library, but my office doesn't accept that as official," he said.

The cost is $15 for students who did not buy a yearbook during fall or spring enrollment.
Barnett told the staff would try to sell all the leftover yearbooks not sold during registration.
