President George W. Bush appointed a KU graduate to the National Council on the Arts.

An American art specialist, Ballinger has directed art exhibits, such as "Frank Lloyd Wright Drawing" and "Diego Rivera: The Cubist," and has served on panels for the National Endowment for the Arts.
About 700 children from seven local after-school groups attended the annual party organized by the Center for Community Outreach Children played games, sang holiday songs and made crafts with the help of about 200 KU student volunteers. Student volunteer groups included the Asian American Student Union, Lambda Sigma Sophomore Honor Society, the Black Student Union, CCO groups and Student Senate.
Molly Tucker, Prarie Village junior; Nick Yaghmour, Schaumburg, Ill.; junior and Elizabeth Willard, St. Louis junior, help Kennedy Barnes, 7, make an antier hat at a children's holiday party Friday in the Kansas Union Ballroom. Children, from toddlers to pre-teens, sat on Santa's lap, made candy cane reindeer and ate cornmeal and cookies at the party.
The National Council on the Arts' primary purpose is to advise the agency of the National Endowment for the Arts on policy and programs. Members are chosen by presidential appointments.Past members include Leonard Bernstein, Duke Ellington, Charlton Heston, Gregory Peck, Sidney Poitier and John Steinbeck.
Santa said his favorite moments at the party were watching the children's eyes when they saw him.
Shoes, comb discovered in Titanic wreckage
Prior to the party, about 150 KU students volunteered to wrap the gifts. Each child received a $10 gift donated by The Today Show. The Today Show donated 1,000 stuffed animals and educational gifts.
The annual party is a way to spread holiday cheer, especially for children who may not receive any other gifts, said Mark Lyda, co-director of the Center for Community Outreach.

MYSTIC, Conn. — Ocean explorer Robert Ballard was nervous this summer as he prepared to return to the Titanic for the first time since he discovered the famous shipwreck nearly two decades ago.
He had been hearing reports of severe deterioration of the
ship from natural causes and from damage done by scores of dives.
Ballard also worried that passengers' personal belongings had been taken by salvagers.
But using the latest high definition cameras and precise robotic submarines, he made a startling discovery: Two shoes, one larger than the other, next to each other and a hair comb
nearby, along with materials from a third-class cabin. Ballard believes the shoes belonged to a mother and her daughter.
"They're the tombstones," Ballard said. "I can tell you it absolutely speaks to you when you go there. It's not just a ship. It's a very special place and we should spend our energy to keep it that way."
