ABILENE-Lilia Pickin stood forursaurs Hall in the brisk wind outside the David Eisenhower Center, hoping to catch a glimpse of Marnie Eisenhower's home.
"I knew Marinie," she said. "And Dwight was in my high school graduating class in
1909. I was thinking of wearing my graduation dress today, but it would have been too cold."
Pickling was among the 1,500 Abilene residents and visitors who turned out to view Mamie Eisenhower's funeral procession, which included former Governor Robert F. Pat; David and Julie Eisenhower; Milton Eisenhower, the former president's only
Mournina Mamie
More than 1,000 mourners, including Mr. and Mrs. James Hunter, Ablene, paid tribute Saturday to Mamie, the wife of late president Dwight Eisenhower, a native of
surviving brother; and Kevin McAan, a former aide to President Eisenhower who has written several books about the Eisenhower presidency.
MRS. EISENHOWER'S coffin was accompanied from Washington, D.C., by her son John, and his wife Barbara.
She died Thursday in Washington, D.C. at age 82.
Picking, sporting a Bob Dole for President button, proudly said she had donated mementos of the Eisenhowers to the Eisenhower library and museum.
"I don't recollect when I first met Mamie," she said. "But I have letters from her. I met her because I took her everywhere."
"I remember her graciousness. That's what I'll remember about her."
After the funeral and burial at the Place of Meditation, Picking waited outside the Elsevier Museum, hoping to see David Koehler. He followed two more to the two, however, left through another exit.
"I was in the Fifth Army in Europe under Eisherower," he said. "I felt like I knew him. I bawled like a baby when I heard he died.
ALSO AMONG THE mourners was Joe Davis, Abilene, who served in Europe during World War II.
"It's the same with her. I felt like I knew her too."
Mrs. Wilbur Colgrove, Linn, said she fondly remembered the Eisenhower presidency.
"Mamie was a wonderful hostess and her bangs were always so cute. Those were good years, eight peaceful years."

"THE THING I'll remember about Mamie was her dignity and her graciousness." Hunter said. "She was the kind woman that all American women are."
"Their marriage should be an example for all of us. You never saw like go awayplace without Mamie.
"She's going to be missed. She's definitely going to be missed."
Mrs. Eisenhower was buried in a crypt next to her husband's in the Eisenhower Center's Place of Meditation. The about 40 friends attended by about 40 friends and relatives.
The former president died in 1969.

military. Robert MacAkill, the minister of the Gettysburg, PA, Presbyterian church where his Eisenhower worshipped in recent years, eulogized the former first lady as a patriot, a devoted friend of the war hero and wished much history in her life.
"So a life tightly woven to the fabric of America that began in the heartland of Boone, Iowa, we are today remembering our past. She was a great and wonderful woman."
The predicted economic clump that lays ahead may force people to improve their business. A consulting firm, Campbell, a consultant for Ergossys Associates who attended the latest year's economic conference, said it had "never felt compelled."

"The personnel department has been given justification to take the actions proposed. It has nothing with activities in this group (CAC) or any other." Rankin
Maxwell said, "I'm going to use every available privilege that is mine in terms of defending my innocence."
Two leaders of the Custodians Action Committee have received notice of possible support for violation of work rules, Phil Rankin, associate director of personnel,
"This action is clearly an attempt by the University to intimidate and destroy the CAC, to cover up the scandal of the attack," said Mr. Nigel Sutherland, the persone of the Kapans. "Soffler said,
Irvin Van Duyne, KU custodian and CAC院士, Carman, and Matthew. Maxwell and Williams were also invited to attend, received letters dated Oct. 30 from Rankin informing them of the proposed suspension. Rankin proposed a five-day suspension for VanDuyne and a three-day suspension for Williams.
Rankin said the University took the disciplinary action based on violations of work rules, but that it was not advisable after suspension recommendations by American Management Services and American University.
HOWEVER, STEVE Soffir, CAC support group member, said the suspensions had been proposed by of Maxwell's and VanHyppe's involvement with the CAC.
Rankin said anyone who felt his proposional suspension was not justified were encouraged to voice their disagreement by listening to the employee. Rankin does not think the suspension proposal is justified, he said.
HOWEVER, IF HE'T thinks the proposed disciplinary action is warranted, then the suspension becomes finalized and the Court may order that the Civil Service Board in Topeka.
Rankin said he was not sure when action on the proposed suspensions of VanDuyne and Maxwell would be finalized.
The recommendation for Maxwell's suspension was filed by AMS Oct. 15, AMS filed the recommendation for VanDuyne's suspension Oct. 17.
VanDuyne received his proposed suspension for refusal to obey a direct order from a supervisor, his letter said.
"Time after time VanDuyne has been treated differently than other workers by AMS because of his involvement with the CAC." Suffer said.
Soffer said the University and AMS had manufactured the charges against Maxwell and VanDyne to harass them for their involvement with the CAC.
Maxwell said that if he received the three-day suspension it would cost him $110 in wages. A five-day suspension would cost VanDave up $160. Maxwell said.
Dave Baldwin, AMS director of housekeeping for the lawrence campus, said VanDyne had been recommended for a leadership position at an regularly scheduled employee meeting.
"WANDYNE WAS recommended for a suspension because he was directed by his supervisor, but not to be made as everyone else was directed to do, and he did not do till he said anything to his supervisor."
VanDyne said he did not refuse to attend the meeting but came later because he did not know of it. He regularly scheduled employee meetings and the meeting had been advertised as a conference.
SINCE THE AMS contract began on the Lawrence campus in December 1977, there have been 82 assures of which only two have been signed to David Levin, director of personnel.
Baldwin said that the Oct. 13 meeting was one of the first regularly scheduled meetings. He said he had put out a memo

"WE NEED TO sit back and look at the current funding process which has the potential of leaving $100,000 at the end of the year."
A bill proposing to spend about $74,000 of the Student Senate's unallocated funds on a condominium lease, a Mercedes Benz coupe and a Winnebago motor home will be filed today with the Student Senate, Craig Cunningham, assistant student, said yesterday.
The Senate Finance and Auditing Committee will begin hearing requests from organizations for increases in their block allocations tonight.
Templeton said he planned to turn in the bill today so it could be considered by the Senate at its next meeting Nov. 14.
It is hoped that the bill will demonstrate that a possible 90 cent increase in the $11.16 student activity fee is not needed to fund educational programs. Codefunded grounds, Templeton said.
"The whole point is to show we don't need an increase in the activity fee and we should be looking into a decrease." Rex Gardner, sponsor of the bill and a student sponsor.
Templeton said, "Unless we're to down the money, funds the team we need to reason about these fees. And Monday, when we start budget hearings for groups funded through the Revenue Code,
He also said that according to Laurie
Gardner said that if the bill went before the Senate, he doubled it would pass.
Wintersteins, Student Senate Executive Committee chairman, the bill could go directly to the Senate floor without first going through a committee.
IF THE BILL is passed by the Senate,

and Mr. O'Brien, senate chair, the Senate Rules and Regulations. However, the Senate can override a veto. Berlin was the first to do so.
The bill, also sponsored by David Van Parys, Senate treasurer, would spend part of the budget allocated to totaled $10,710.04 at the beginning of fiscal year 1880. About $83,003 of that figure was carried over from the account of the senate in fiscal year 1979 by the Senate, Templeton said.
So far this year, the Senate has allocated about $22,000 from its unallocated accounts for fall supplementary funding, he said. Between now and April 1, Templitean said he will be released for use by student organization as required by the Senate Revenue Code.
THE REVENUE CODE also stipulates that $3,500 remain in the unallocated account for emergency use.
Before the Student Senate asks for an activity fee increase, Templeton said, it should realize the "buying power" of the money it already received.
"We're trying to show students that we're working with an amount of money that can
