KU coeds rehearse for their cockney-accented plea to Fort Leonard Wood troops, "We Don't Want to Leave You," a tongue-in-cheek song to boys going to war. Left to right, the USO performers are Shirley Williams, Olathe junior; Cindy Brown, Lawrence senior; Sheri Romeiser, Salina junior and Pat Royse, Stilvill senior.
Two weeks of rehearsing ended this morning for 25 KU entertainers as they headed for Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., to put on a show for 20,000 armed service men.
The USO group, headed by Sandy Gresham, Prairie Village senior, is being sponsored by the special service department of the Army. If all goes well this weekend, the groups may have an opportunity to go on tour to other bases.
We would like to make a tour of Vietnam, if it could be arranged." Miss Gresham said.
A special feature in the show will be a band from Tulsa called the Young Aristocracies. The Gaslight Gang, a local group, will back the entertainers at Fort Leonard Wood.
Robinson gym sentenced
Bn MERRELY ROBJNSON
Old Robinson Gymnasium will probably be torn down next summer with Haworth Hall to follow in about two years. Keith Lawton, vice-chancellor for operations, said yesterday.
Demolition of the two old structures is part of a "domino" plan, each step making the next possible, to eventually produce a new humanities complex where old Robinson and Haworth now stand.
CLD ROBINSON, built in 1803, will make way for phase one of the humanities complex which will house the speech laboratories, now in Elake annex, and office space for teachers now based in Lindley annex, Carruth-O'Leary and Oread Hall.
Dismantling of Haworth, constructed in 1909. will be begun after the humanities phase one building is completed. Phase two of the complex will be constructed on the site.
LAWTON SAID THAT all plans are still indefinite, but if old Robinson still stands next fall, probably no classes will be scheduled there.
Social worker to speak here
Like to spend a summer or even three years in a national or international social service project? If so, social worker Phil Hanson would like to talk to you.
He's speaking at 7:30 tonight at the Methodist Student Center, 1314 Oread, and will see KU students or graduates interested in the paid service project afterward.
Persons of all denominations are eligible for consideration.
"There will be fewer students on campus then, so the chance of accidents will be decreased."
Old Robinson, which now houses miscellaneous classes for
which no room could be found elsewhere, was in constant, use as a gymnasium for almost 50 years until new Robinson Gym became available last year.
