HELP-KU Campaign Nears $20.000 Goal
By Jacke Thayer
Nearly $16,000 has come from approximately 1,000 donors thus far in Lawrence's annual HELP-KU drive, according to Todd Seymour, assistant secretary of the Greater University Fund (GUF).
The drive, first conducted in 1961 by Lawrence citizens, began Jan. 28 this year. Odd Williams, Lawrence state legislator, is chairman.
FUNDS COLLECTED in this year's drive are already in use, according to Seymour. As of Feb. 1, 705 students had borrowed from the cumulative fund, and another 75 have borrowed from the $15,000 collected since that time.
"Before the drive is over, we hope to get donations from a little under 1400 people and collect a total of nearly $20,000." Sevmour said.
Originally the drive was scheduled to end March 15, but "that will not be possible," according to Seymour. Usually the drive lasts approximately two months.
"Our best year by far for collecting the biggest amount was 1963 when we got $19,000." Seymour added.
THE DRIVE is broken into several collecting units—campus, professional, business and residential areas are all covered and some telephone solicitation is used, according to Seymour.
"During the last five years, Lawrence residents have contributed $85,000 to the loan fund through this program and we hope to bring that total to over $90,000 before the end of this year." Sevourm said.
The average amount of student loans from the fund during the past four years has been $191.10. The small loan was for $50 and on a very short-term basis, Seymour said.
THE GREATER UNIVERSITY Fund, "right arm" of the Endowment Association, helps with work of the HELP-KU Fund in Lawrence and promotes donations of all amounts, which provide immediately available funds for loans, scholarships, fellowships and educational facilities.
SEYMOUR said there were somewhat similar programs for KU conducted in other counties, but not on
K.C.'s Festival Has 8 Hours of 'Non-Stop' Jazz
The smooth, sweet, and hot sounds of twenty-two jazz groups will echo for eight straight hours during the second annual Kansas City Jazz Festival March 28.
The festival will be held from 3 to 11 p.m. in the Municipal Auditorium.
While one group is setting up, another will be playing during the eight hours billed as "Non-Stop Jazz." Over 200 musicians, with the 22 groups are expected to participate.
A record crowd of local and regional jazz fans is expected to gather in the city's Municipal Auditorium to enjoy the continuous music.
The winning group from KU's Oread Jazz Festival, to be held the day before, will be one of the featured groups at the Kansas City Jazz Festival. Last year the winning group, the West Texas State group, was invited to the Festival, where it played with noted jazzman, Woody Herman.
ONE OF Kansas City's 25 disc jockeys will introduce each of the groups, which will include the talents of Count Basie and his orchestra, Dick "Mr. Trumpet" Ruebesch, and his Dixieland band from Milwaukee, and the Oread Jazz Festival headliner, Claire Fischer, outstanding pianist from the West Coast region.
TICKETS MAY now be obtained by writing to the Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, or by buying them at the Auditorium Ticket Office on the day of the concert.
Some of the groups expected to appear include: The UMKC Drummers, the Mike Ning Trio, the Kansas City Kicks Band, composed of a group of musicians who have formerly played with big name bands across the nation, and Don Rice and the Omaha Jazz Lab Band.
the same scale, and not always for loan purposes.
"I have not heard of anything comparable to this program at other schools. Oklahoma University has a local program but it is far removed from this (type of drive)," Seymour added.
IRVIN YOUUNBERG, executive secretary of the Endowment Association, commented. "This type of program is unique to Lawrence and KU. I know of no other school where the citizens of the local city give the school so much support to help out the students. They don't do it in Columbia (Mo. — University of Missouri), Norman (Okla. — University of Oklahoma), Lincoln (Nebr.)—University of Nebraska), or Manhattan (Kansas State University).
One For The Road!
"KU students often don't realize what a big help this program is," Youngberg concluded.

Toby Y. Kahr B.S., Columbia University
The road to management is a two-way street at Ford Motor Company. On one side of the street, the college graduate brings to us his talents, abilities and ambitions. Then it is up to us to ensure that he realizes his full potential.
In addition, there are frequent reviews and analyses of individual performance in which promotions, salary increases and developmental moves are planned. These programs are so important that each division and staff has a special section responsible for administering them. One of the people who helps oversee these programs is Toby Kahr. His experience is also an example of how a college graduate benefits from these programs.
There are several methods we use in guiding his development. One method is periodic evaluations. These reviews measure performance and—more importantly—chart the best route for an employee to pursue in developing his capabilities. These performance reviews are prepared at least once a year by the employee's immediate supervisor,
reviewed by higher management and discussed with the employe.
In 1963, Toby completed our College Graduate Program. During these first two years, he gained a depth of experience in Company policies involving all aspects of employee relations. Currently he supervises the Personnel Planning and Training Section of our Steel Division. In essence, Toby is helping to implement the program that led to his own career development.
Programs such as these are intended to make certain that your performance at Ford Motor Company will be recognized and will determine how fast you'll move ahead. The development of future managerial material is one of our fundamental goals. See our representative when he visits your campus. Something good may develop for you.
