Student to walk to raise M-S funds
He's walking a long way for the little ones who don't walk so well.
He's an out-going, flamboyant guy who vows to march 50 miles for the Muscular Dystrophy fighters.
The little ones are trapped by Muscular Dystrophy. That's a muscle wasting disease which zeroes in hardest on kids three to 13 years old.
A WHILE ago Cliff Brisbois, Jr., a motion picture master's candidate at KU, walked a shorter distance—into the Muscular Dystrophy Association of America (MDAA) office and asked to be District Chairman for Tonganoxie, Baldwin City and here.
His longer walk, started near mid-morning in Tonganoxie and ending tomorrow evening in Baldwin, links town to town and present to past.
In each town he's touching, Brisbois pushes a "Fight Muscular Dystrophy" poster plastered wheel-chair. It's a reminder to those who can walk, of those who can't.
BETWEEN towns, the chair goes into the KLWN mobile news cruiser that's following him. From the cruiser he makes hourly reports on his progress to the Lawrence radio station's listeners who perhaps recognize the voice of the MC of "C.B. and All That Jazz."
And, even as his voice transcends space, his thoughts transcend time. Tomorrow this hike stops in Baldwin City. Four years ago, it started there;
"I was chosen Producer-Director of Baker University's Variety Show—a show a lot like our Rock Chalk—because of my idea.
"I suggested we do a benefit for the MDAA, thinking we could get Jerry Lewis (MDAA's National Chairman) to back it.
"The administration said definitely no. But I promised myself then I was going back and raise a couple of thousand bucks for Muscular Dystrophy."
International Club to discuss issues
KU's International Club will begin a series of discussions on improving international understanding starting tomorrow night at 8:30 p.m., in the Kansas Union Forum Room.
Abdul Said, Saudi Arabia senior, said, "KU has a rather large international community, and this presents a good opportunity for students to get together and ask questions and to give answers about their beliefs and attitudes.
"For example why do some countries, as Sweden, have a more or less permissive outlook toward sex, while my country is more formal," Said said.
RELIGION, education, political feelings, attitudes toward different countries as Russia and the United States are serious subjects that have to be better understood for world peace. Said said.
The subject of tomorrow night's panel discussion is the question of national character and moral standards of the individual countries, as represented by the members of the panel.
Before the discussion starts, students from France, Germany, and India will perform dances and songs of their native countries.
THE DISCUSSION'S moderator will be Chae Jin Lee, professor of political science. Lee was born in Korea.
Also attending the discussion will be Felix Moos, associate professor of anthropology and the East Asian areas. Moos, who has lived in China for several years, just returned recently from a tour of the Far East.
**STARTING WITH** three days of business-door to business-door begging, he bagged $233.90.
His extended plans are bigger. When he walks through Lawrence streets late tomorrow morning, he'll see what he calls "cute KU coeds," rattling money-holding canteens and pinning lapel tags on donors.
Four All Student Council (ASC) members will be at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln today and tomorrow attending the Big Eight Student Government convention.
Big 8 schools debate programs
The main purpose of the convention is to discuss mutual policies and program of the universities and coordinate activities between them, said Jerry Bean (KUPA-large men's), Abilene junior and delegation chairman.
Those attending are: Mike Kirk (KUPA — fraternities), Kansas City, Mo., sophomore; Rosie Burns (KUPA— sororities); Caldwell junior; John Hill (KUPA— college men), Waverly senior; and Bean.
BEAN WAS enthusiastic about this year's convention as it will be the first year in several that all universities will be represented. The University of Oklahoma usually doesn't attend.
"Originally, the KU delegation intended to go with plans of disbanding," Bean said, "but now we want to revitalize the existing structure."
Issues the convention plans to discuss are off-campus housing problems and policies, whether
finals are necessary in some courses and how students can help faculty plan curriculums.
"We are going to work on a faculty-course evaluation to be published in a handbook," Bean said. "The handbook will give a description of courses and evaluations of professors from the students' point of view."

The mighty, new 53 h.p. Pussycat.
(g-r-r-r-r-r-r)
We've got a ferocious Pussycat on our hands: The VW Karmann Ghia.
It's running around with a new, air-cooled engine that's producing more power in all four gears.
(In other words, it can now beat an old Karmann Ghia at a stoplight.)
Of course, being a Volkswagen, there
And new disc brakes up front (the kind you pay extra for on most other cars).
It has a new top speed of 82 mph.
are some thinas that haven't chanaed.
Around 28 miles to a gallon of gas...\
40,000 miles to a set of tires...VW parts
at VW prices...quick service...and a
price tag that remains a low $2,357.
So it's still an economy car.
Only now it growls all the way to the bank.
