KU grad pays debt in will
By SUSAN STANLEY Staff Reporter
An alumnus has wished $1.2 million to the University to repay a school loan that may have amounted to only $50. Steve Menaugh, public relations co-
tor for the Kansas University Endowment Association, said yesterday.
The will of Lee M. Bush says that funds from the Lee M. and Jimmie Tull Bush Memorial Fund are to be donated to university for no specific use, Mennaugh said.
"The amazing thing about this donation is that it is so large and it is unrestricted," he said. "About 80,000 of our donations are re-stretched."
Bush had borrowed a small amount of money when he was an engineering student here from 1908 to 1911. Menaugh said. In those days students could borrow money for college expenses from a certain fund without repaying it.
The exact amount is not known because accurate records were not kept.
THE GIFT comprises securities and a small amount of cash, said Larry Heebs, vice president of the Endowment Association.
The executive committee of the Endowment Association will decide how to spend the money after hearing about the proposed donor and other administrators, he said.
Bush was a surveyor for the Kansas City and Southern Railroad and was in the Tenth Field Artillery in South Carolina during World War I.
During the 1930s, Bush was the city engineer in Oklahoma City. He then founded his own engineering firm, the Lee M. Bush and Company Consulting Engineers, where he worked until he retired in 1963.
THE ENDOWMENT Association also announced that Opal Jayne Kennedy, longtime Lawrence educator, left $20,000 to the School of Education. The money will establish a scholarship fund for a Kansas student in the School of
Education who is planning a career in teaching or administration.
Kennedy taught in Lawrence schools for 42 years and earned both undergraduate and master's degrees from the University of Kansas.
"The School of Education isn't richly endowed and we appreciate the gift," said Flora Wyatt, chairman of the KU School of Education Scholarship Committee and assistant professor of curriculum and instruction.
The Endowment Association has made some personnel changes. Robert Campbell was appointed vice president for medical affairs, replacing John English, who retired Dec. 31, 2015. Campbell served as director of community relations for the Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
Menaigh replaced Dale Seuferling as public relations coordinator. Menaigh, who recently earned a master's degree in journalism at KU, will be writing and editing news releases and acting as an administrative assistant. Seuferling has been appointed director of constituent fund-raising and public relations.
Swim course to be offered by Red Cross
The Douglas County Red Cross will begin conducting a water safety course from 7 to 10 p.m. Monday at the Lawrence High School pool. The class will continue on Mondays for 12 weeks.
Students must be at least 17 years old and have an Advanced Life-saving certificate.
AFTER COMPLETING the course, students will be qualified to teach people, from beginners to lifeguards, how to swim.
John Forbes, Red Cross volunteer and water safety instructor trainer in charge of the course, said the classes would include a review of basic swimming strokes and advanced lifesaving techniques.
It also will include instruction on teaching others how to swim, he said.
Anyone interested in enrolling in the course should call the Red Cross at 843-3350.
Forbes said that he wanted to limit the class to about 20 students. Eleven already have joined the course, he said.

The KU School of Engineering recently received a $5,000 grant from the Eastman Kodak Company to aid minority engineering students.
When the minority council was established 13 years ago, there were only three minority students studying engineering at KU. Savage said.

The grant will support the Student Council for Recruiting, Motivating and Educating of Minority Engineers, Earl Gentry, the minority council, said yesterday.
Savage said the poor economy had affected the number of grants the program was receiving from private institutions. Last year donations dropped 30 percent from the previous year.
THIS IS the third consecutive year that Kodak has awarded the grant to the school, Savage said. The grant will provide scholarships and financial aid to black, Hispanic and American Indian engineering students.
There are 82 minority students in the engineering program and about 66 percent receive aid from the minority council. Savage said.

Tips help battle winter bills
Weather-stripping homes saves fuel
By AMY CRAIG Staff Reporter
As the mercury goes down the thermometer, heating bills increase, but according to energy conservation experts, students can fight high utility bills by winterizing their homes or apartments.
Several state and local agencies provide information and instruction on energy conservation. Many of the tips listed below can be used and effective in cutting heating costs.
Travis Taylor, conservation specialist at the Kansas Energy Office in Topeka, said caulking and weatherization could save up to 18 percent in energy costs.
Caulking should be done between the immovable parts of doors and windows, and their frames. Taylor said The Foundation helps to keep the walls where the foundation meets the walls.
WEATHER-STRIPPING should be done between the moving parts of doors and windows and their frames. Cold air can be kept out by putting weather stripping in electrical outlets and light switches.
Do thresholds should fit tightly to the door to lessen air leakage. A door needs a new threshold if a quarter can be slipped under it easily.
Rubber and brush thresholds are available at hardware stores, but they can be made at home. Taylor said.
Students who have access to their thermostats can reduce fuel consumption by 5 to 8 percent by turning back thermostats at night and when no one is sleeping in the Cooper Extension Service at Kansas State University.
Gary Stanwix, inventory control manager of the Kansas Public Service Gas Co., said he recommended turning thermostats back to 55 degrees at night and when no one is home. Thermostats should be set between 68 and 72 degrees, depending on individual preferences and the house or apartment.
TAYLOR RECOMMENDED keeping the temperature down and using electric blankets and space heaters in residences with ineffective furnaces. It is recommended to install landronds before turning thermostats down to avoid freezing pipes, he said.
Plastic placed outside windows can prevent air leakage, Taylor said. It also can reduce heat loss through plastic windows, he said, but it is not needed if the windows are caulked and weather-stripped and protected with storm
Windows also can be better protected with movable insulation made from
plastic foam board cut in the shape of the window and placed inside it, he said.
It can be put in at night and when no one is home, and taken out when light is needed. Plans for making movable furniture are available without cost at the energy office.
The experts also suggested:
- Closing the heat registers and doors of unqsed rooms.
- Not using fireplaces for supplemental heat when the furnace is on, because heat can escape through the chimney.
- Keeping fireplace dampers closed when the fireplace is not in use.
- Opening curtains in sunny windows and closing them at night.
- Wearing warm clothes
- Moving furniture, rugs and draperies away from heat registers to cool them.
Taylor said specific energy conservation information was available through the Kansas Energy Extension Service, an outreach agency operated by Kansas State University, by calling 800-323-0036.
Taylor said that if students knew they were going to be in the same house for two or three years, they should offer to give information if the landlord would pay for it.
