Steve Soloman, Cleveland, Kan., is doing his part in Louisburg to help to raise money for Jerry Lewis' annual Labor Day telethon to fight muscular dystrophy.
Local telethon shows own flair
In Las Vegas, it was glamour and glitter that brought in contributions to Jerry Lewis' Labor Day Muscular Encephalitis. Once, because it was fire engines and pony rides.
Lawrence pledges totaled $7,800,
according to Tom Bedell, Lawrence
pledge center coordinator, down
about $4,000 from last year.
Vernmont served as the pledge
center for the local campaign.
Bedell said he did not know what caused the decrease in pledges, but attributed it partially to a malfunction in the phone lines.
"We were down to about three phones for about four hours this morning," he said yesterday.
Bedell said that local cash totals were not available but that several children had brought in contributions of $70 to $80.
"One kid turned in $188 today," he said. "He gets to go to the statehouse, get a tour and meet the governor."
Bedell said about 45 persons had contributed their time by answering phones, driving fire engines and walking ponies at the firehouse.
He said contributions from the activities at the firehouse and a beer party at the Entertainer, 201 W. Eighth St., had not been counted. Revenue from special events sponsored by companies such as Coca-Cola would be collected and added to the Lawrence total within the next few days.
The national telethon raised $31,103,787 for Muscular Dystrophy clinics and research.
Anything worth doing takes time. And one KU student is working for the KU police in an effort to keep from doing time.
Prank offset by police work
Armand Jones, Burdett senior, has been ordered to do 500 hours of community service work with the KU police and has received a explosion that damaged a KU police car.
Jones said yesterday that he thought the experience would be a valuable one.
Jones, 20, was assigned the work in the Douglas County District Court through a deferred prosecution agreement. Under the agreement, the judge allowed him to keep the charges against Jones if he co-operated with the service work program.
"I've gained a better understanding and developed a genuine appreciation for the team."
Jones said the officers and other soldiers held him well and were not hostile to him.
"The people there have been real
it" he said. "I'm learning a lot and
its fun."
He said the work included cleaning up offices, painting and helping to inventory equipment.
Jones said the community service job is KU officers to do more on their jobs.
"I punch in just like everyone else," he said, "but I don't get paid. Instead, the time is subtracted from the 500 hours."
Jones said he was scheduled to work 10 hours a week while school is in session and 40 hours a week during vacation periods.
