Foreign Students Plan Trips During Vacation
Many of the foreign students enrolled at KU will take advantage of the Christmas vacation as an opportunity to do some traveling.
The International Club will sponsor a trip to Mexico for 37 students. This group will leave Lawrence Friday and return Sunday, Jan. 5.
Clark Coan, assistant dean of men, said about 15 or 20 foreign students will spend Jan. 2, 3, and 4 in Kansas City as guests of the Greater Kansas City Committee for International Students. They will go sightseeing around Kansas City and be entertained by the members of this committee.
Mr. Coan said three foreign students will return to their homes for the holidays. They are from Mexico, Costa Rica and Venezuela.
Individual foreign students will visit many places in the U.S., including Florida, Los Angeles, Denver, New Jersey, Chicago, and New York. Several will go to Canada.
Many of the ones who stay in Lawrence have been invited to have Christmas dinner with families in Lawrence Mr. Coan said.
KU Post Office Adds Help To Meet Christmas Rush
A new man has been added to the staff at the KU post office to help with the Christmas rush of mail.
Andrew M. Smith, superintendent of the KU post office, said a student is now working in addition to the regular staff to take care of the volume of mail, which is now four or five times greater than average.
"Monday we had lines at the windows all day, and I think that particular day we handled about 10 times our usual amount of daily mail," he said.
"Most of the mail is Christmas cards and packages. Even though
we're rushed here, the downtown post office is even busier, and some people come here rather than fight the crowds downtown," he said.
Mr. Smith said the KU post office does not have the facilities to pro- does not have the facilities to process the mail, so it has to be taken

Grant Eichhorn, a former employee at the KU post office, is now foreman of mails at the Lawrence Post Office. He was advanced to his present position early this month.

Apples originated between the Black and Caspian Seas, says the National Geographic magazine. Peaches and oranges came from China, where they were cultivated 4,000 years ago. The Near and Middle East gave us lettuce, carrots, peas, and spinach. The Andes produced the "trish" potato.

In the language of the timberman, softwoods are trees that bear cones and hardwoods are trees that wear broad, deciduous leaves. The terms often mislead the layman, since softwoods such as longleaf pine yield lumber harder than such hardwoods as the tulip tree and cottonwood.
