Firm sells bracelets as reminder of hostages
In the 1960s and early 1970s, the American public showed its concern for the prisoners of war in Vietnam by wearing prisoner of war bracelets.
A California-based group, Voices for Freedom, has revived the idea to try to keep the public aware of the 52 American hostages in Iran.
"As the days of capability for the hostages ran into weeks and months, it became apparent that Americans sought a means to show both personal courage and bravery. Wyatt, national co-chairman of Voices for Freedom, said this week.
Hostage bracelets are made by the same company designed and made by the POW.
PROFITS FROM the bracelets will be used to expand the program until the hostages are returned. A scholarship fund for children of the men killed in the crash will be provided. The rescue mission will be set up with money left from the bracelet program.
said. They cost $3 each and are made of wood.
The group has sold 20, 800 bracelets.
"None of us thought it would go on this long," Wyatt said. "Naturally it is the hope of everyone that the project will be short-lived."
Only 18 of the 52 hostages 'names are on the bracelets because some families prefer not to participate in the program, she said.
"The program has been very successful. It has put me in close contact with the families, and they are very grateful." Wyatt said.
The dust on the practice field settled, but the excitement of the players as they headed for the sideline did not.
Band set for battle of notes
By BRAD STERTZ Staff Reporter
More than a football rivalry will take place tomorrow afternoon when the Cornhoppers visit the Jayhawks. Also at stake will be the pride of two of the self-proclaimed best bands in the conference.
The KU band members were well aware that only two days remained until the halftime show in the big game against Nebraska that would decide the unofficial champion of Big Eight bands.
"There'll be 60,000 people out there," said Robert Foster, director of bands, as he implored the band to keep straight lines at practice last
night. "They'll be wanting to hear what we can do at halftime."

For two weeks, the KU band has been working on a routine that it hopes will prove Nebraska to be the inferior band. David Holsinger, teaching assistant for the band, arranged the 10-minute routine.
"It is a complicated routine that is really hard because it has a lot of diagonal marching," said Dave Blair, a four-year tuba player. "It is hard because it makes it difficult to keep a straight line."
THE KU BAND also will have to contend with the greater volume the Nebraska band can produce with its 250 to 300 horn and drum players. The KU band uses quieter wood-winds.
Blair said that the rivalry between
the KU band and the Nebraska band was generally a friendly one.
"We frequently get letters from them, and they usually come down here when the game is at Lawrence," he said. "Unfortunately, though, we don't have the money to watch when the game is up there. When we do, it was the best time of the while year."
MARTIN SAID that the KU band met the Kansas State band every year and the Nebraska band every second year. The KU band still thinks that its biggest competition comes from the Nebraska band.
As yesterday's practice drew to a close, the KU band marched in formation to the sideline. The showdown was a practice and a warm-up. Tomorrow the Cornhuskers would come into town.
