Slattery to throw fund-raiser
By KAREN SAMELSON Staff writer
the sponsors made ar- ranges with the celebrity, booked the arena, then sent out invitations for "The Main Event."
But this main event is no boxing match, it's a fundraiser — boasting "glorious desserts and sweet jazz" — for U.S. Rep. Jim Slattery, a Kansas Democrat seeking re-election to his 2nd District seat.
"We just want to have a lot of fun raising money for the congressman," Renee Wessels, Slattery's press secretary, said yesterday. "We wanted something to be a little different."
She said the invitations for the Nov. 1 celebration which were black-and-white posters in shiny black mailing tubes went out to about 18,000 people in the district. The campaign staff sent the invitations to people on various lists, including one list that they purchased from the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, she said.
Many of the recipients were Republicans, and some invitations even went to people working for Slattery's Republican opponent, Phill Kline.
"A lot of Republicans support Congressman Slattery. It's certainly not a partisan mailing," Wessels said.
Kline said he hoped that Slattery would take time out of the celebration to schedule a few more debates.
DECISION '86
Slattery and Kline will debate Nov. 2 in Lawrence, but Kline said the two had received other offers to debate.
"The Main Event," which will be Slattery's third large fundraiser in as many elections, was scheduled months ago. Wessels
Wessels denied that the celebration might be a victory party before the Nov. 4 general election. "It's never been that way," she said.
said.
The poster also describes Nov. 1 as "A Night to Remember," featuring the $10 Novemberfest dinner with sauerbraten and polakas and the Congressional Club Dinner for people who contribute $500.
"The Main Event," which takes place in Topeka, is an important fund-raiser, she said. It also provides a way for the campaign staff to let Slattery know how much he has done for the district and what they hope will continue, she said.
"The Main Event" begins at 8 p.m. at the Kansas Excentepure Ballroom and costs $10 a person or $100 for a sponsor. After desserts and jazz, supporters can pay $25 for the Midnight Champagne and Music finale.
Friends honor retiring secretary
By ALISON YOUNG
Frances Longhofer stood in the rotunda of Strong Hall yesterday afternoon surrounded by about 75 of her friends, family and co-workers.
Longfother, secretary to the dean of educational services, will retire tomorrow after almost 16 years of service to the University of Kansas. A reception was held in her honor at Strong.
"I think, so much of the time, students feel like they go from office to office looking for the right people." Lonetharpe tried to send them in the right direction
"In all of my jobs, I have loved working with the students," Longhofer said.
Longtime friend said them in the bright afternoon, "I hate he need some student get the answer to their problem," she said.
In 1970, Longhoffer started working as a secretary in the psychology department. After five years, she went to work for Donald Alderson, dean of men at the time. When Alderson died in 1981, she became secretary to the dean
of educational services.
"I was here during the troubled years, the hippie years," Longhofer said. Students are more conservative today, she said.
Two of her three children are KU graduates, and the youngest daughter will graduate in May.
Longhofer, who has lived in Lawrence most of her life, graduated from the University in 1943 with a degree in sociology.
She enjoys KU athletics and has attended most of the basketball games, until the last few years. "I've been too busy with work," she said.
Wes Williams, dean of educational services, said Longhofer had been a great help to him as a newcomer. This is Williams' first semester at the University.
Longhofer helped him understand the inner workings and politics of the University, Williams said.
"She would take me aside and say, 'I know you don't know this, and I hope I'm not interfering, but . . .' he said. "She keeps you on the right side of the fence."
United Fund collects half of'87 goal
After only two weeks, the Jayhawks painted on the wooden signs placed by parking booths on campus are quickly being colored in.
By NANCY BARRE
Every day that the University of Kansas segment of the Lawrence United Fund Drive receives more money, facilities and operations workers daa a little more paint on the Jayhawks to show the increased donations.
Robert Lineberry, dean of liberal arts and sciences and chairman of KU's United Fund Committee, said yesterday that the University community had already raised $41,010, almost half of the $84,000 goal for the six-week drive.
Lineberry said he was pleased with the results of the drive so far. He explained that the money was collected through contributions from faculty and staff.
Students participate in the fund drive through the Rock Chalk Revue, an annual student variety show that raises money for the United Fund. Proceeds from last spring's Rock Chalk Revue account for about $10,000 of the $41,010 raised so far this year. Lineberry said.
"Our philosophy is that we're part of the Lawrence community, not separate from it," Lineberry said.
"If you pull the rug out from under the United Fund, you're hurting something very vital to the community."
As of yesterday, the fund as a whole had received $160,324, or 27 percent of the $600,000 goal.
Last year's goal was $500,000, but,
Smith said, the goal was increased to
$600,000 this year to help compensate
for federal budget cuts.
