Wescoe to China post
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe yesterday was elected president of the China Medical Board of New York, Inc., a Rockefeller-endowed foundation which extends financial aid to medical schools in the Far East, it was announced today.
The position will become effective upon Dr. Wescoe's retirement as Chancellor of the University of Kansas, June 30, Dr. Joseph C. Hinsey, Chairman of the Board, said.
The China Medical Board was created in 1914 as a division of the Rockefeller Foundation to care for the developing interests of the Foundation in China. In 1928, it was incorporated as a separate organization.
The funds of the Board, before and after incorporation, were devoted largely to support of the Peking Union Medical College in China until nationalization of the College by the Chinese Communists in 1951. Since then the Board has used its funds to help a number of medical, public health and nursing schools in East and Southeast Asia.

He was president of the State Universities Association from 1964 to 1966, and in 1967 was elected president of the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges.

Miami travel plans begin as KU accepts bowl bid
How to get to Miami became a matter of prime concern to many KU students as the word was made official-KU had been invited to the prestigious Orange Bowl.
The temperature hovered in the 30s and snow flurried briefly, but 4,500 Jayhawk fans standing outside Strong Hall pictured hot sand, pounding surf, oranges and a football game under sunny skies.
Coach Pepper Rodgers announced to the student rally via a telephone and loudspeaker hook-up from Kansas City that the Jayhawks would meet Penn State in the bowl classic Jan. 1. KU officially accepted the bowl bid at a Big Eight meeting with a conference telephone conversation between KU athletic director Wade Stinson and Penn State President Eric Walker. Jim Liewellyn, Orange Bowl president, offered the invitations.
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe, contacted in New York City, said he was delighted over the prospect
of playing in Miami. He said the coaching staff deserved much of the credit for the bowl bid. Speaking of Rodgers, Wescoe said, "He is, in my opinion, the best coach in the country."
The Chancellor said he would attend the game.
Gov. Robert Docking, in a telegram to the KU football team, said he also would be in Miami to watch the Javahawks in action.
In the telegram, Docking said Kansas are proud of the team's performance this year and that the bid has brought national attention to the University. The game will be nationally telecast.
KU representatives already are in Miami making arrangements for the onslaught of KU students and alumni.
