Yankee move to Russell?
The Russell, Kan., Daily News today sent the following telegram to the Yankee management:
NEW YORK—(UPI) Manager Hank Bauer of the Baltimore Orioles holds the World Series record for consecutive game hitting streak. Bauer hit in 17 straight games stretching over three series with the New York Yankees in 1956-58.
"The new system of payment seems to be working very smoothly." James K. Hitt, registrar, said. "We are quite proud."
Students who did not receive the IBM cards used to pay fees must make arrangements to get the money to the business office.
"Invite you to move Yanks to Russell, Kan., where American Legion program has consistently drawn 413 fans a game. Fence is shorter, fast infield. No rainouts—just dustouts. Concessions good. Midway U.S.A. with accessible routes east and west."

Robert Brokaw, office manager, said a campus drive is being conducted to solicit members from university faculty and staff.
KU's Credit Union announced yesterday a drive to increase its total capital to $500,000 within nine months.

"Since the employment of a full-time office staff, the credit union has grown from $42,000 to $44,000 in assets and $33,000 to $78,000 in loans," Brokaw said.
Although less than 10 per cent of the membership is students, the union has 325 members composed mostly of university staff and faculty. This time last year it had only 243 members.
WHEN BROKAW came to the office, only $34,000 capital existed. However, since then more than $90,000 has been placed in the capital column.
"I am convinced Brokaw's coming and the hiring of a full-time staff has made a tremendous difference," said Charles Oldfather, secretary of the union.
Also included in plans for this year is moving the office from old Robinson Hall basement to a permanent location in Strong Hall.
PRESENTLY, the union offers only emergency short time loans to members. It pays from four to four and one-half per cent interest annually.
@MOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, MG.
Maybe you don't want to drive a wild horse, or a man-eating tiger, or a killer fish...
maybe you want to drive a Pussycat.
These days, "hunting" for a new car isn't just an expression.
One name is more ferocious than the next.
But the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia is different. It's a Pussycat.
It has all the earmarks of a sports car,
and all the trademarks of a Volkswagen.
Underneath that hand-shaped, handsmoothed body you get an engine that averages 30 mpg and takes only 5 pints
of oil.
And you get about 40,000 miles on a set of tires.
Andyougetan independent torsion bar suspension system, so when you're cruising at 80, a bump bumps only one wheel and not the whole car.
And you get a good feeling, knowing that if your Pussycat has a breakdown, a VW dealer will fix it with the same parts and the same speed and the same prices
that a VW Sedan gets fixed with.
So if you're hunting for a sporty look ing car, and run into a lot of ferocious names, with prices to match; looking like they might cost an arm and a leg to keep up...
maybe you're barking up the wrong tree.
