B52 crashes,explodes Orange Bowl travel plans begin at Okinawa air base (Continued from page 1)
NAHA, Okinawa (UPI)-A U.S. B52 bomber loaded with 750-pound bombs crashed on takeoff at Kadena U.S. Air Force Base today. Its seven crewmen ran for their lives as the bombs exploded, destroying the huge jet.
Two of the crewmen were reported in serious condition with undisclosed injuries at the hospital of this central Okinawa base.
Two-day fast begins tonight
(Continued from page 1)
There are three purposes for holding the two-day fast.
"We want to publicize the fast, to make a sacrifice to help the fast, and to find out what it's like to be hungry," Conrad said.
"If anyone has other personal reasons for fasting, we would like to have them join us," he said.
Thursday night is the major night for the fast. "A significant number of living groups have reported that they will be fasting then." Conrad said.
The scholarships, which will hopefully be able to help 10 to 15 high school students, have been set up in a two-part program, Conrad said.
"The first part encourages high school students who otherwise would not have the opportunity to go to college, but have the potential to do so. The second part is to support them financially while they're in college and help them work with various aspects of the university to help them psychologically," he said.
All funds raised by the drive will be matched by the university.
Faculty members and off-campus students who would like to contribute to the funds should send their money to the All Student Council office in the Kansas Union, Conrad said.
A table will be set up in the Union tomorrow and Thursday where people may contribute, Conrad said.
KU law students start to compete
Law students will temporarily become "practicing lawyers" this week (November 19 through 22), during the James Barklay Smith Moot-Court competition at the University of Kansas Law School.
The court's purpose is to exercise law students' ability to do legal researching, present arguments and write briefs in hypothetical situations. In a sense they are doing all that a practicing lawyer would do, said Jim Bagley, third-year law student and president of the Moot-Court Council.

An Air Force spokesman said the eight-engine jet bomber was en route on an operational mission with "conventional weapons" when the crash occurred.
An eyewitness told UPI that the giant bomber failed to gain altitude as it left the base runway just before dawn today pancaked at the end of the runway and came to a skidding stop.
He said the crewmen bolted out of the hatches and were sprinting away when the first explosion knocked them sprawling.
A panel of officers was named to investigate the crash. The names of the crewmen were not released.
A series of secondary explosions then tore through the plane, hurling wreckage across a base perimeter highway and touching off small brush fires. Windows shattered in base buildings and houses as far as two miles away.
Although the B52s were brought to the island for strike missions against Vietnam targets only in February, the U.S. has been using Okinawa as a military base since it gained jurisdiction after World War II.
Residents of Naha, 20 miles away, reported hearing the explosions from the bomber, biggest in America's air arsenal.
would cost about $165 including hotel reservations, plane fare and game tickets. He said the tour would comprise three nights and four days.
Houk said a tour for only one night may be arranged later. He was dubious about the chances for the short tour, however because most Miami motels and hotels require a minimum of three day's stay during the Bowl game.
Houk doubted eating expenses in Miami would be too different from Lawrence. "They have their hamburger stands just the same as we do here," he said.
Hotel rooms on the beach normally cost $20 per person, Houk said, but motel rooms outside the beach area are only $12 to $15 per person.
Houk warned KU visitors that some hotels he had contacted would not accept reservations for less than 10 days. However, he believes that most will accept reservations for a minimum of three days.
Kenneth Bloomquist, director of the marching band, Richard Wintermote and Vincent J. Bilotta, representing the alumni association, left last night for Miami.
Bilotta, who is also the pom pon squail and yell leaders' adviser, said, "We're going down to
fire up the tentative arrangements that we've had for the past few weeks."
He said alumni would be offered group travel packages which would include chartered air service, hotel accommodations, shuttle bus service to and from the airport, the parade and the game. He said tickets for the King Orange Parade and the football game would be included in the package.
Bilotta said he hoped to have several options available for alumni interested in going, probably ranging from three-to five-night stays in Miami.
Bus line officials said the individual fare to Miami would be $90.70 round trip. A spokesman for all bus lines serving Lawrence said charter buses could reduce rates considerably
Groups chartering a 33-passenger bus would pay about $63 per person, and a 46-passenger bus would cost about $59 per person.

Is it possible to be passed by at 30?
Absolutely. If you're a 30-year-old engineer who's failed to keep up with the latest developments in his field.
Because Western Electric's an acknowledged industrial leader in graduate engineering training, that's one worry our engineers don't have. Our nearly-completed Corporate Education Center near Princeton, N. J., for instance, will have a resident staff of over 100. More than 310 engineering courses will be
offered, and about 2,400 engineers will study there in 1969. It's the most advanced facility of its kind.
Ask around. You'll find that when it comes to anticipating change, Western Electric is way out in front. And we make every effort to keep our engineers there too. See our recruiter or write College Relations, 222 Broadway, New York, N.Y. 10038.
A lot of study, and hard work, never hurt anyone.
