Yule In The Sun
The group, all members of the International Club, spent two weeks touring Mexico.
The tour, organized by Takis Panayotopoulos, Athens, Greece graduate student, included a small village, San Miguel de Allende, a modern tourist resort town, Acapulco, and a cosmopolitan city, Mexico City.

16 Athletes Suffered Fatal Injuries In 1957
LOS ANGELES —(UP)— Sixteen players, 13 of them high school youths, suffered fatal injuries on the nation's football playing fields in 1957, a survey revealed today.
There were no deaths among college players, while two occurred in sandlot games and one in semi-pro football, the survey said.
In addition, there were five deaths which were only "indirely" attributable to football because they involved heart attacks and infections.

If Married, You're One Of KU's 22.3 Per Cent
Combining college and marriage seems to be a satisfactory arrangement according to statistics released by James K. Hitt, registrar. Statistics show 1,888 of the 8,456 students on KU's Lawrence campus are married. This is a total of 22.3 per cent.
Of this total 1,595 are men and 293 are women students although the IBM tabulation does not show how many of these students are married to each other.
Almost one of every six undergraduate students, or 16.6 per cent, is married. The percentage of students married increases by classes with 6.1 per cent of the freshmen married, 9 per cent sophomores, 19.3 per cent juniors, 30.5 per cent seniors, 36.4 per cent fifth year students and 57.4 per cent special students
Grant Given By Du Pont
A grant for graduate student assistantships in chemistry has been awarded to KU in Du Pont's annual program of aid to education.
The grant includes $2,400 for the appointee with additional allowances of $600 if he has children. An award of $500 to the university and payments of dues and fees is also included.
The program is to encourage outstanding graduate student teaching assistants to continue teaching for a third year so the university may gain the benefits of their added experience.
KU is among 135 colleges and universities awarded grants. These grants total nearly $1,150,000.
Engineers Meet Tomorrow
The eight annual sanitary engineering conference will be held Wednesday in the Student Union. Talks will be given on the design and performance of water and sewage treatment plants.
The total number of married students in the three graduate schools, School of Law, School of Medicine and Graduate School, is 717 of 1,403 students or 51.1 per cent. The Graduate School ranks highest with 52.8 per cent followed by the School of Law with 43.8 per cent and the first year medical students with 41.6 per cent married.
To help house the growing number of married students the University built 120 married student apartments in Stouffer Place which opened this fall. An additional 120 apartments are to be built soon.
Gift Offered For Building
The gift will be made to the foundation if it can raise an additional $50,000 for the construction. An additional $100,000 is available for the building, underwritten by the Kansas Presbyterian Synod on the basis of a $2 a year assessment on each member for 10 years.
The Westminster Foundation has been notified by Kenneth W. Pollock of Fort Scott that either he or a trust fund he has established will provide $25,000 toward the construction of the Presbyterian Center to be built at 12th Street and Oread Drive.
News, sports and weather coverage will be the main topics at a Radio and Television News Clinic Monday, Jan. 13, and Tuesday, Jan. 14 in the Student Union.
The cost of the three-story building is estimated at $250,000. The remaining $50,000 will be sought from other individuals.
Radio-TV Clinic Here Jan. 13-14
Dean Burton W. Marvin of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information, and Bruce A. Linton, chairman of the KU radio and television committee, will give the welcome.
