for either of us. Dean Kay wrote,
"We were only on the continent
for 16 days and saw only four
countries so it was a quick trip."
One of the most interesting features of the trip were the two girls who went with Dean Taylor and Miss Hawkinson. They were the 12-year-old daughter and 13-year-old niece of George Waggoner, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
"The parents of a KU student learned that we would be in Paris and invited us out to dinner while we were there." Miss Hawkinson said.
MISS HAWKINSON commented that the girls enjoyed the trip very much but that at one point they became tired of European cooking.
THE GROUP spent Christmas day in Madrid, Spain, and then went on to Paris for New Year's day. During the trip they visited Spain, Portugal, France and England.
"The plans were changed at the last minute and we went to the Mont Marte where the artists are. We ushered in the new year in a little Parisian cafe there."
"They gave us the choice of a Parisian restaurant or the American Officer's Club. On the girls' insistence we went to the Officer's Club where we could get some real American cooking."
Burgalars Even Take Stove
WATSONVILLE, Calif. —(UPI)— Retired farmer John Kareczz and his wife returned from a two-month vacation yesterday and found that their house was no longer a home.
BOTH MISS Hawkinson and Dean Taylor agreed that the trip was very interesting but it was over too fast.
Burglarls had taken almost everything, including the kitchen stove. Karchesz told police that even the rugs were rolled up—apparently ready for removal.

Plans for New Gym Indefinite
(Editor's Note: This is the last in a
articles on Robinson Gymnast.)
.um.)
By Linda Swander
Plans for a new gymnasium at KU are so far in the future that an estimated cost of the building has not been made.
The Board of Regents has outlined a building program up to 1970. Any additional construction on campus must be approved by the state legislature upon request of the Board of Regents.
A STUDY MADE by James Gunn, administrative assistant for University Relations, estimates that the enrollment at KU in 1970 will be 16,657. This estimate is based on national figures on college population throughout the United States.
Unless new gymnasium facilities can be arranged there will be approximately 200 intramural basketball teams trying to play on two basketball courts. At the present time there are 142 men's teams.
Articles in newspapers and magazines have stressed the importance of physical skill and fitness among the young adults of today. With a
gymnasium built to accommodate only 2,500 to 3,000 students, in 10 years KU will not be able to offer students a chance to develop physical skill and fitness.
'THE GREATEST need at the present time is for a classroom building," Chancellor W. Clarke Wesoe said in commenting on the need for a new gymnasium.
Chancellor Wesco said he was aware of the need for additional physical education facilities. When Allen Field House was built in 1952 a new gymnasium was considered but the money for it was not available, he said.
"Other departments in the University have suffered from the enrollment increase. Classes are being conducted in army barracks behind Strong Hall. The art department has poor facilities," Chancellor Wescoe said.
THE CHANCELLOR suggested that the ideal place for a classroom building would be on the present location of Robinson Gymnasium. The gymnasium occupies one of
the primary locations of the campus.
Any future plans for the present gymnasium would have to include expansion. The present gymnasium occupies all the space available at its present location.
Chancellor Wescoe implied that the logical place for a gymnasium would be in the vicinity of the field house and outdoor playing fields.
THE CONSTRUCTION of a classroom building seems to depend upon a new gymnasium. Looking into the future, this is how the KU administration would like to arrange for the new buildings.
Through an appropriation by the state legislature for a new gymnasium and for a classroom building both problems could be solved.
A new gymnasium could be constructed on a site near the field house and a new classroom building could be built on the present site of Robinson Gymnasium.
Rocky Enter Transit Strike
NEW YORK—(UPI)—Gov. Nelson A Rockefeller summoned negotiators for 660 striking jogboatmen and 11 affected railroads to his offices today to press for a settlement of a 10-day-old walkout he described as "one of the most serious New York has faced in a long time."
Rockefeller stepped into the strike situation after Mayor Robert F. Wagner tried and failed yesterday to work out a compromise in a similar meeting at his official residence,
The governor emphasized he has no real power to settle the interstate labor dispute, which is subject to federal authority, except the power to rally public opinion.
The strike, which has crippled access to New York by rail and cut into the metropolis' food supplies, threatened to harass additional hundreds of thousands of persons later today if an expected heavy snowfall materializes.
Loren Gergens briefs two of his salesmen on new telephone services for business customers.
"I DIDN'T WANT TO BE STOCKPILED"
When Loren Gergens was working for his B.S. degree in Business Administration at the University of Denver, he had definite ideas about the kind of job he wanted to land. He was determined to profit from the experience of several of his friends who had accepted promising jobs only to find themselves in "manpower pools"—waiting to be pulled into a responsible position. "I didn't want to be stockpiled," Loren says. "That's no way to start."
From his first day challenges were thrown at him thick and fast. First, he supervised a group of service representatives who handle the communications needs of telephone customers. Then
As a senior, Loren talked to twelve companies and joined The Mountain States Telephone & Telegraph Company, an associated company of the Bell Telephone System.
he served as manager of several telephone business offices. In these jobs Loren had to prove himself on the firing line, make right decisions and carry them through. He knew his next jump depended on only one man—Loren Gergens.
In July, 1960, he was made Sales Manager in Boulder, Colorado.
"I'm on the ground floor of a newly created telephone marketing organization. And I can tell you things are going to move fast!" Loren says. "It's rough at times, but hard work is fun when you know you're going somewhere—in a business where there's somewhere to go."
If you're interested in a job in which you can be your own prime mover—a job in which you're given a chance to show what you can do, right from the start—you'll want to visit your Placement Office for literature and additional information.
"Our number one aim is to have in all management jobs the most vital, intelligent, positive and imaginative men we can possibly find."
