Youngberg is caretaker of KU endowment funds
By NORMA C. ROMANO
"Come on into the office," invited Irvin Youngberg, leading the way into his "workshop" as he calls room 224 in Strong Hall.
Youngberg is the executive secretary of KU's Endowment Association. He is responsible for total fund raising for KU.
"The Endowment Association administers the money given to the University. It dispenses the funds for scholarships, loans, researches, museum collections, libraries, buildings and other programs for which state funds are not available," he said.
Although this information was interesting to me, I wanted to find out what was beneath his executive title.
"I was born in Osage City, a tiny town not far from here. Oh yes, Osage is spelled O-S-A-G-E.

THE KU ADMINISTRATIVE executive's family world is comprised of his wife Eleanor, his daughter Tuddy and her family, and a son Pete.
I asked Youngberg about the way he spends his leisure time.
"Leisure time?" he asked, as if he had never heard the two words put together.
"Besides sleeping, I enjoy working outdoors in my yard. Fishing is also a favorite pastime."
The noise of a second phone ring.
"Fine, I'll be there in a moment." And addressing me, he said, "I am sorry I have to leave now.
"PERHAPS YOULL be interested in knowing that I'm the president-treasurer of the Amer-
ian Alumnae Council," he said, while putting his brown jacket on. He asked his secretary to bring him the Alma Mater, a journal of the American Alumnae. He handed it to me. One of its pages reads:
"Irvin Youngberg has been our wise caretaker of funds during these years of significant expansion. He has created a firm foundation and a sound financial policy for the future."
The door of 224 Strong closed behind me. A tall, gray-haired man waved as I walked out—a man on whose shoulders leans a heavy responsibility—KU's capable "caretaker of funds."

Although this new fashion trend hasn't hit KU extensively, a few fashionable women are wearing pale nylon stockings with low-chunky heels, T-straps or Mary Janes.

oatmeal or camel.
However, not just everything will go with the new hose. One must use some discretion in the choice of clothes to wear with them.
INDIVIDUALITY IS the key to the new fashion picture.
"I CAME TO KU as a freshman in 1935, and worked my way through school as a teller at the First National Bank.
A pink wool knit would be ordinary with suntan hose, but try pale pink crochet string stockings and you've got fashion flair. Other persons notice this and heads start to turn.
The designer Donald Brooks says, "I like textured stockings on young girls."
Legs are featured in the fashion picture now more than ever, and certainly skirts aren't getting any longer.
"I got my economics degree from KU. Afterwards I taught that subject and economics history here."
Silence followed. He sat is if he were reliving the moments when his economic students sat trembling ready to take an exam. His blue eyes sparkled with melancholy.

"With the arrival of World War II, my job as economics instructor ended, and I started working in the Military Training Program. In 1943," he continued, "I joined the Navy, and served with the amphibian forces in the Mediterranean and Okinawa."
"Well, you can say that I am known as the proustest grand-
A SECOND INTERVAL of silence. The lapse of his thoughts was broken.
"In 1946, I returned to Lawrence and for the next two years was KU's director of dormitories and housing," he said.
