Nine-year-old Molly Winerock loves going to her big sister's apartment.

Molly met her big sister, Jill Gard-
berg, Buffalo Grove, Ili, sophomore,
last year through the KU Hillel Little
Brother/Little Sister program.
KU Hillet members sponsored a ceremony yesterday at the Lawrence Jewish Community Center, 917 Highland Drive, to celebrate receiving the
1990 William Haber Award for the project.
Haber, a former dean of the University of Michigan, was chairperson of the Hillel Commission from 1955 to 1963.
Daveen Litwin, Hillel director, said the award was presented to Hillel by the B'nai B'rith Hillel Commission in May to honor the project for its contributions to the quality of the Jewish community.
Litwin said that during the past four years, the project had matched about 100 Jewish students with children in the community. This year, 21
Hillel students are matched with 21 little brothers and sisters.
Garderbird and Suzi Scher, project coordinators, said children ages 6-16 could participate in the project. They would help complete a form about their interests.
"We wanted to match them up as best we could." Scher said.
their activities were decided by the pairs.
The project began four years ago, as a way to integrate Jewish students into local families and give Jewish students more knowledge to learn more about Jewish traditions.
Hillel plans at least two parties to include all of the participants.
Sher said that once the children were matched with KU students.
"She is for me, and I'm for her." Garderb said of her little sister.
Garderbard said she participated in the program last year. She has two sisters of her own, but she said she related well to children.
During the ceremony yesterday, the participants were given yellow cans.
"Yellow is a symbol of our friendship," Gardberg said. "We give and take equally."
NASA successful in launching shuttle's observatory mission
The Associated Press
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Columbia's astronauts, thrilled to finally be orbiting Earth, activated telescopes inside the space shuttle yet again, for a week or more than a week of investigating galaxies, sars and other turbulent objects
The shuttle roared to life at 12:49 a.m. CST yesterday and streaked down the hill. ARI was tried for six months to get it off the ground. Three hours later, the
seven-man crew began the daylong process of getting the $150 million Astro observatory ready for operation.
It was the fifth launch attempt for the mission, which was first scheduled for 1986 but was postponed by the Challenger accident. Fuel leaks halted three countdowns, including the first one in May, and telescope problems ended another.
Thick clouds yesterday threatened to cause yet another delay.
