Sayers Christmas' Plans Include Football, Hawaii
The neat, tastefully decorated apartment on Indiana St. looks like any other student's apartment.
Far in the corner a student is bent over the desk staring intently at his open books, while a small dog dozes at his feet.

LINDA SAYERS has more time for these things now that Gale has signed to play with the Chicago Bears and she no longer has to work.
His wife putters around the apartment, filled with football trophies, putting a sprig of mistletoe in the doorway and a fat, paper Santa Claus on the kitchen table.
Gale and Linda Sayers, both from Omaha, like any other married couple, have turned their thoughts toward the Christmas holidays.
Christmas holidays for the Sayers will include a visit to Linda's brother in San Francisco while Gale, chosen All-America on several ballots, will play in the East-West Shrine game.
SAYERS, a KU senior, said. "I'm looking forward to San Francisco, I've never been there before."
While Gale is practicing for this game between college All-Americas, Linda will be busy making plans for their trip to Hawaii.
After the Shrine game, to be played Jan. 2, Gale and Linda will fly to Hawaii for the Hula Bowl, thus ending the hectic Christmas activities.
BUT LINDA must get used to a hectic schedule of the professional football player, since Gale obviously has a very promising future.
When asked what she thought of Gale's decision to play professionally, Linda, 21, a petite five feet, two inches, replied. "I'm awfully happy
P-t-P Finds Homes
Homes for foreign students over Christmas vacation will be provided by People-to-People.
Any student who is interested in staying in an American home should sign up in the People-to-People office by tomorrow.
As for being married to a football hero Linda added, "It's no different I have my own way of being proud of Gale."
about it. This makes our future a little more certain."
One of Linda's first moves upon hearing of her husband's decision was to quit her job as an IBM clerical secretary in Lawrence.
With a sly grin and twinkling eye, Linda commented, "I starting dating Gale after I broke up with a friend of his on the track team."
THE OTHER "MEMBER of the family," temporarily staying with Linda's parents in Omaha is Tiny, a one and a half-year-old chihuahua.
Gale attended Omaha Central High School while Linda went to Omaha Technical High School. After being married, the Sayers moved to KU's Stouffer Place, but not permanently, due to another "member of the family."
THE SAYERS, married two and one-half years, met when they were sophomores in rival high schools.
Apparently, dogs are not welcome in Stouffer Place, for last June, the Sayers were forced to leave their apartment when caught with Tiny. Not too happy about Tiny's present location, Linda said, "I miss him."
But Gale has not time to think of Tiny's absence, the pending Christmas festivities, or even his favorite pastime, pool, at the moment for football has put extra demands on his studying.
"During football season," Gale said, "it's pretty rough. If you're taking some rough courses it can be pretty bad."
GALE PLANS to get his degree in physical education after he completes his student teaching which will begin in January 1966.
When asked why he decided to come to KU instead of his own state university, Gale replied, "I liked the campus and felt it was a good educational institution. I also liked the coach, Jack Mitchell."

After Gale receives his degree he plans to continue his football career, "I'd like to play as long as I'm able or until I get hurt. After that I'd like to go into some kind of real estate, such as apartment buildings," he said.
UNLIKE MANY KU students, Gale won't be able to see his family over the holidays, until semester break. Besides his parents, Gale has an older and a younger brother.
"At the moment," Gale said, "I'm triving to persuade Coach Mitchell to offer my younger brother who just graduated from high school, a football scholarship to KU."
