Student travel and study in Europe this summer
Why spend the summer slaving away in hot, dry, dusty, desolate Dighton (or Tribune or Kansas City) when you could be in, say, Greece? Or the Alps? Or someplace like that?
Increasing numbers of American students are going to Europe each summer—not to travel as tourists, but to work. Students work abroad, they say, because they want to meet people, learn a foreign language and know the country.
International Work Exchange, Palo Alto, Calif., has published a directory listing of job opportunities in each country and tells students how to arrange jobs.
Teen-age epidemic
MIAMI BEACH (UPI)—The United States today is in the grip of a "serious" teen-age venereal disease epidemic, according to doctors attending the 22nd Clinical Convention of the American Medical Association (AMA).
The existence of a "serious epidemic of venereal disease" involving minors was reported in a resolution calling on the AMA to work on changes in state laws governing their treatment.
Only 14 states at present permit the treatment of venereally infected minors on their own consent, and without the consent of their parents.
The problem stems from the fact that if a minor is reluctant to tell his parents, he goes untreated.

Ross Allen, directory editor, said, "we have summarized, on a country-by-country basis, the visa and work permit requirements, the types of jobs available and who to contact to get a job. We don't guarantee our book will get anyone a job, but we believe it should be a tremendous help to anyone unfamiliar with the European job market."
If all work and no play doesn't appeal to you, dozens of organizations have programs of both European study and travel. A summer study of the Mediterranean with headquarters in Rome is being offered for $975 by a group of American universities, including the University of Kansas.
"Africa 1969," a trip sponsored by the American Forum for African Study, Washington, D.C., is designed for those interested in Africa or Afro-American studies and will be held at the University of Ghana. The cost of the 36 day program is $1,420.
If you don't want to work at all, tours are offered which are entirely sight-seeing. The University Travel Company, Cambridge; Mass., offers trips with minimal supervision to countries in Europe and Asia including Israel, Greece, Russia, Italy and France.
Opportunities for work, travel, and study both in the United States and abroad are available now. What are you doing this summer?
Old Fraser, a University of Kansas landmark, did not completely disappear when the demolition team arrived a fateful summer day in 1965. In memory and in reality all was not destroyed. The visible remains may be found in the north retaining wall of Spencer Library and in the Kansas Union Centennial Room.
This small portion is all that remains of Old Fraser. Most materials were termed obsolete and what could be salvaged was auctioned off to the highest bidder.
Fashion says individual hairdos do their own thing with bands and barrette
R. Keith Lawton, vice-chancellor for operations, plant development and co-ordination, said full slab doors, which were classroom doors, hand-made from native lumber, and frosted glass, from the east center tower, were saved for the Centennial room. A spiral stairway, which went up through the center of the building was saved also. In University storage are metal parts and other decorative items, some of which came from the chimneys.

(UPI) — Today's fashions are highly individual—from Indian dress to the soft romantic look. That means hairdos do their own thing to fit the moment's style. For example, a "hair thing" might be an adjustable gold or silver plated wire mesh or fabric, jewelled or tailored, headband to be worn across the brow.
Stone-sparkling expandable rings are to be worn in pairs or triplets as they clasp the hair. Dashing handworked wood, leather or tortoise shell barrettes keep hair in place for sporty attire.
Some fashion flashes on sunglasses: sleek in appearance and enhancing for any face are thin black or tortoise shell frames with gold or silver metal parts in oval, round or square shapes.
