Tom Berger, chairman of the KU Vietnam Memorial Committee, unveils the artist's rendering of the planned $35,000 Vietnam memorial. About 50 people attended yesterday's consecration ceremony at the intersection of Memorial Drive and West Campus Road.
About 50 people, including donors and members of the KU Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps, braved the cold yesterday to attend a short Veterans Day concession ceremony of the KU Vietnam Memorial site.
The $35,000 memorial, which has been in the planning for two years, will be built at the southeast corner of Memorial Drive and West Campus Road.

In a short speech, Tom Berger, chairman of the KU Vietnam Memorial Committee, thanked the people involved in financing and designing the memorial, and then thanked the staff of the memorial placed on the site.
About 35 members of the Air Force ROTC Detachment 280 Corp of Cadets stood at attention behind Berger, John Musgrave, Baldwin law student, and Ashner law student. Musgrave and Ashner are both committee members.
Musgrave, a Vietnam veteran, said, "This memorial stands to honor those KU students who paid the ultimate price, not the 12 still missing. We do not memorize the missing, we demand their return."
Farm Aid bolstered by Nelson
United Press International
TOPEKA — Despite an additional $10,000 that has been made available to help Kansas farmers from the proceeds of the Farm Aid Concert, some farmers are reluctant to ask for help, an aid distributor said yesterday.
Willie Nelson's Farm Aid Concert in September initially brought $5,000 to the Consultation of Cooperating Churches in Kansas, said executive coordinator Dorothy Berry. Another $10,000 was received last week for emergency farm relief.
"Last week we were fortunate enough to get a second letter from Willie Nelson which told us that he really listened to what we said when we wrote to thank him," Berry said.
Berry said the $10,000, to be distributed through local churches, is not limited to food as the first $5,000 was, but is intended for any kind of limited emergency need.
"We know there is a reluctance on the part of all of us, not just farmers, to ask for this kind of aid," Berry said. "We're not trying to make a mailing list of those who get his aid. We are asking the pastors to share with us as much as they can the kind of stories that those farm families face, but we want those stories couched in such a way that it protects their identity."
Farm families need to contact local church pastors to inquire about the relief, she said.
Distributor gives scholarship
By Kady McMaster Of the Kansan staff
The president of the Coors distributor for Douglas County presented a $2,000 check to the University of Kansas yesterday to finance scholarships for U.S. veterans and their families.
and their families.
Eldon Dandenhauer, president of Lapeka Inc., the Coors beer distributor for an eight county area that includes Lawrence, presented the check on Veterans' Day in the chancellor's suite in Strong Hall to Caryl Smith, associate vice chancellor for student affairs.
Also at the presentation were representatives from the Kansas University Endowment Association, William Easley, student body president, and Tom Berger, chairman of the KU Vietnam Memorial Committee.
A scholarship for the same amount was presented to Wasburn University.
"We selected these two universities because they are by far the most effective educators in my service area," Danenhauer said yesterday.
Jerry Rogers, director of financial aid, said that the only stipulation for the scholarships was that they be awarded to veterans or their sons or daughters who are
KU students. The money can be divided at the University's discretion.
"It hasn't been decided yet how the scholarships will be divided," Rogers said. "But we will probably award four $500 scholarships for the spring semester."
rogers said application forms should be ready after a meeting tomorrow. Forms are available at the office of student financial aid, 26 Strong Hall.
Applications should include background, financial need, academic record and an explanation of qualification as a veteran or offspring.
Dannenhauer said that this scholarship was given by Lapeka, 2711 Oregon St., in conjunction with Coors' national Veterans Memorial Scholarship Fund, which donated $500,000 for scholarships at universities across the country.
About $800 for the local scholarships was raised through donations put in canisters in veterans organizations, retail liquor stores and clubs. The rest of the money was a contribution from Lapeka.
Although this is the first year for Lapeka to award a scholarship, Danenhauer said he hoped Lapeka could donate other scholarships.
"We hope that this will be an ongoing program for many years to come." Danhenhaer said.
Kansas teachers' salaries rising
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Kansas has followed the trend of the rest of the nation in addressing problems in the teaching profession, with salary increases outpacing inflation and more talented students entering teacher training programs, a new study indicates.
secondary schools in Kansas are experiencing only slight growth.
According to a Carnegie Foundation report, which found the nation making slow but steady progress in improving the condition of teaching, the improvements came at a time when enrollments in elementary and
The number of public school students was 405,822 in 1984-85, up three-tenths of a percent from the previous year. Secondary school enrollments are dropping in the state, but elementary enrollments are on the rise.
That matches the experience of most of the country, which is expected to suffer a teacher shortage through the early 1990s as children from the baby boom of the '70s enter school.

The report, which was released
In Kansas, average teacher salaries rose to $21,208 in 1984-85, which is lower than the national average of $23.5*.
Inflation sapped 12 percent from the buying power of teachers between 1972 and 1982, but the report said that trend has been reversed.
