Students With Travel Bug Begin Getting the Needle
The time has come for all students bound for adventure in foreign lands to make sure everything is in order for their trip.
No, it isn't time to pack suitcases but it is time to obtain shots and a passport.
"There are about 350 students going abroad this summer either in sponsored groups or privately," Thomas Gale said. Gale is temporarily taking over the duties of Dean Francis Heller who is teaching at Vienna University in Austria.
TO TRAVEL ABROAD, a person needs the necessary shots which take four weeks to complete. For this reason the staff at Watkins Hospital urges the student to start his shots before time runs out.
To enter Europe a student needs smallpox, tetanus, polio, and injections of typhoid and paratyphoid. For those going to the Orient typhus, cholera, and yellow fever are also required for entry.
Whether all these shots are needed varies with the individual. A student may have had a small pox shot within the last three years in which case he would usually not need another.
THE UNITED STATES Public Health Service and the World
Health Organization have set standard requirements for shots for foreign travelers. Watkins Hospital is designated as one of the federal public health centers for immunization.
The pamphlet which the student is given after receiving his shots should be carefully guarded. This pamphlet, which has been signed by a doctor and includes the federal stamp, is the traveler's health passport.
THIS CERTIFICATE is needed to re-enter the United States and enter other countries. If the record is lost the student must apply to where he originally got his shots for another certificate or be revaccinated.
"We want to stress the protection that the shots provide," a Watkins Hospital nurse said. "You never know when or where an epidemic will break out. Last summer there were 300 cases of typhoid in Aberdeen, Scotland."
BEFORE A STUDENT can leave the country, he must have a passport. The student should obtain a passport application as soon as possible and all the necessary information.
First Anniversary
Store Notes Service
The book store extension in the basement of Watson Library will celebrate its first anniversary on Friday.
The store, operated during the hours when most students use the library, is located just inside the basement entrance.
James Stoner, director of the Kansas Union Book Store, pointed out that the book store is an extension of the main book store and many books on display there are not on display in the Kansas Union.
"We also extend the hours so the student may find certain supplies which we make available," he continued.
MANAGER OF THE STORE is Lyle Hampton, Leavenworth graduate student.
The biggest purchase by students, he said, is recommended
readings. Many students find they can buy material which is required reading in classes at the store and avoid standing in lines and waiting for the material in the library.
Hampton said there is very little overlap with the Union Book Store in matters of stock. The store offers a large selection of new titles and some periodicals.
"Many of our books are from university presses, such as Cambridge, Harvard, or Nebraska, and a wide variety of good topics are available," he said.
The extension also carries some school supplies, including papers, pencils, pens, theme binders, and blue books.
THE STORE also offers the College Outline Series and the Modern Library Series.
"People should start applying for passports by April 1," Mrs. Lucille E. Allison, clerk of the district court, said. "It takes seven to ten days for the passport to be processed and much longer when the rush period starts."
PASSPORT APPLICATIONS should be mailed in by May 15 at the latest for those leaving the United States in June. The deadline for obtaining visas is April.
Students may obtain an application for a passport in the district clerk's office of the Lawrence court house or of their hometown. However, not all clerks of the district courts are authorized to handle passport applications.
Some questions asked on the application are the parent's name, the mother's maiden name, date and place of birth, when and where the departure is taking place, and the proposed destination.
WITH THIS INFORMATION two lightweight, dull finished photographs, two and a half inches square must accompany the application. It is advisable to have six on hand especially if a visa is wanted.
"There must also be a certified copy of a birth certificate with the application." Mrs. Allison said. "This may be obtained from the Bureau of Vital Statistics in the capital of the state the student was born in."
"THIS IS THE ONLY acceptable proof of birth," she continued. "Registrations of birth will not do."
The cost for a certified copy of a birth certificate varies between states. In Kansas the cost is $2.
The passport fee is $11. If a student waits until the last minute $2 extra is assessed for special handling.
TOPEKA, Kan. — (UPI)— Parimutuel betting is off and running in the Kansas Legislature but it appears likely to falter at the wire.
Horse, Dog Bets Seeking to Win Legislative Race
Kansas City Democrats, who introduced the concurrent resolution to allow betting at horse and dog tracks, were elated at the 13-6 surprise victory it received in the House State Affair Committee Monday.
REP. THOMAS Van Cleave (D-Kansas City), said he believes on the basis of the vote, the measure has a "good chance" of gaining the 84 votes necessary for passage.
Legalized gambling measures have hit the Legislature before without success. The last effort got 70 votes, just 14 short of passage.
Religious groups, which feel it would bring criminal elements into the state, were expected to put up strong opposition.
THE REV. ROY Holloman, Baptist evangelist minister, led a fight against the measure before the House committee along with other religious leaders. He was expected to increase lobbyist pressure in an effort to stifle it.
John Bower (R-McLouth), the only legislator to testify against it in committee, said it would be a "sad day when Kansas went into the gambling business to raise revenues."
He expressed doubt the measure could muster the necessary votes.
HOUSE SPEAKER Clyde Hill (R-Yates Center), said it will take its place on the already crowded calendar. but would not have preference.
Supporters have failed to estimate the extent of revenue the state could expect, but statistics from other states indicate it could amount to from $2 million to $10 million annually.
Some rural legislators favor the bill in the hope it will aid county fairs. Urban legislators feel the bill would provide more revenue, serve as a tourist attraction and boost local economy.
