Davis says goal of United Fund will be reached
By a Kansan reporter
Today's mail delivery may put the University of Kansas over its $70,000 goal for this year's United Fund Drive, chairman of the KU division of the fund said yesterday.
"We expect to go over the mark when we get the morning mail," said Michael Davis, chairman and dean of law. "Right now, we are at 99-point-something percent of our goal."
Davis said he found out yesterday that KU only needed $600 to meet the $70,000 set by United Fund.
Last year, the KU division fell about $2,000 short of its $71,000 goal.
The fund-raising drive ends today for all divisions, though money always comes in after the drive officially ends, Davis said.
"It it's almost a certainty that we will make our goal," he said.
The amount raised by KU is expected to be the second-largest amount raised by any of the Douglas County divisions. The largest portion of the county's $500,000 goal was set at $300,000 for business and industry.
Visiting high school seniors get glimpse of schol hall life
About 40 high school seniors are taking a break from their usual classes today to check out the University's scholarship hall system.
By Bob Tinsley Of the Kansan staff
The All Scholarship Hall Council and the eight scholarship halls are conducting the fifth annual "speak-peek weekend."
"It's a program we began about five years ago for recruitment to the scholarship hall system and publicity for the University as a whole." Steve Tilman, scholarship hall council president, said yesterday.
John Miller, Fort Scott junior and Battiefen Hall resident, is in charge of the event. He said the council sent letters to high schools within 100 miles of Lawrence to inform students about it.
Letters were sent to high schools in other areas if hall residents requested. Up to four students were accepted from each high school.
The seniors arrived yesterday evening and are staying in rooms with scholarship hall residents.
"Our room is one of the adopted ones," said Daren Robinek, Springfield, Mo., junior and Bat-
man.
Roubinek is playing host to one of the seniors and
said he and his three roommates would introduce the senior to the hall system. Organizers of the event asked seniors which majors interested them and then tried to place them with hosts in the area of study each chose.
Robinek said his guest may accompany him or one of his roommates to class today. Robinek also is there to field any of the senior's questions and encourage interest in scholarship halls.
"it's direct sale," he said. "I hate direct sale, so I doubt that I am going to pummel this person into scholarship hall living."
The event also gives seniors a chance to socialize with, residents of the halls.
Alice Nichols, Salina sophomore and Sellards Hall resident, organized a Thursday night study break between Sellards women and Stephenson Hall men to give the guests and residents a chance to get acquainted.
At 2:30 p.m. today in the Pine Room of the Kansas Union, David Paretsky, professor of microbiology, and Lawrence Sherr, professor of business, will join two scholarship hall residents in a panel discussion. Seniors will be able to ask the four panel members questions about the University.
They also will be given tours of the campus, in including some professional schools. Miller said.

THE
WINNER LEADING EDGE MODEL "D"
"PC EDITOR'S CHOICE—Among the bargain-priced PC-compatibles tested, Leading Edge Model D is the clear winner. That's not surprising—it's the newest machine tested and was designed around lessons that were learned from some of the others. It combines all the features that you could possibly want as standard equipment with a price that you'd expect to pay for a stripped IBM machine."
