Moeser performs in D.C.
By SUSAN APPLEBURY
James Moeser, dean of the School of Fine Arts, will perform tonight at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.
Staff Writer
His performance is part of the Kansas Day festival, one in a series of Bicentennial days featuring each state.
"I'm excited but I'm not worried," Moeser said Friday. "It's the first time I've
played at the Kennedy Center but I've played at places of equal size."
MOESER WLL play original pieces for the organ composed by two University of Kansas professors of music theory and composition. The selections are "O Ternary Selections," "A Littany Heard in Plover Courtship," Lawrence, Kansas" by Charles Houg.
He will also play an improvisation on a theme submitted by Eileen Gunner, dear of the Washington, D.C. chapter of the Guild of Organists and a KU alumna.
English Center changes foreign student program
By PAUL JEFFERSON
The Intensive English Center has a new name and a new outlook on the education of foreign students at the University of Kansas.
Michael Henderson, director of what is now called the Applied English Center (AEC), said last week that in addition to the new name, the Center had a new policy. This fall, for the first time, foreign students will be admitted to a school or department within the University. Advisers will guide them in selection of courses and English-language programs. Spring by the Student Senate, is the result of a recommendation by Henderson and an agreement between the Center and the various schools.
In the past, the AEC took sole responsibility for screening, advising and teaching students, who weren't admitted without a pass. The AEC also proficiency exam. Henderson said that under the old system students expressed dissatisfaction at being held back from other courses. This way, it allows the KU community to touch with the KU community, he said.
"I FEEL this plan integrates them more quickly into the University system," he said. "It will help them to feel better about themselves and KU."
Many of the students enrolled at the Center don't attend KU; they are here preparing for admission to other colleges and universities with much smarter English proficiency requirements, he said. The Center is the largest in the Midwest. It has an enrollment of 255 students, 30 of which are students at the University, he said.
Most students realize they should gain some proficiency in English, whether or not they intend to stay in this country, Henderson, said.
"GIVE WE them language to use after they leave us," he said. "Our new name tells what we are trying to accomplish. We tell them things they learn here to their situations."
Geoffrey Gathercole, AEC assistant instructor, said he thought the new policy would make things smoother by allowing students to take more time to students' individual needs.
"This will take some of the odum off of the Center," he said. "It will get rid of some of the bitterness, that the AEC was keeping students there purposefully."
He said that other difficulties had arisen from a lack of communication between students and teachers and disparities in the curriculum information required on exams. The new policy will allow students and advisers to work on individual weaknesses in the five study areas of learning, sentence structure, speaking, understanding, reading and writing.
"IT WILL be a more one-to-one relationship." he said.
Mohammed Ebktar, Tehran, Iran, special student, said the new AEC policy sounded like a good idea. He said that he had taken the proficiency test last spring and he was excited to pursue a degree in engineering while gaining language proficiency, he said.
"The Center has been accepting more ideas and recommendations from the foreign students lately," Eubek said. "And you can also an adviser will help me in my vocabulary."
"It's a little terrifying doing an improvisation," Moeser said.
A tri-college choir from Tabor, Bethel and Hesston colleges and a string quartet from Kansas State University will also perform at the festival.
MOESER SAID that he had been notified last fall by Who's Who in America that he had been chosen to represent Kansas in the Bicentennial celebration. He said he probably had been chosen because he was dean of the School of Fine Arts.
The Kansas festival was organized by Mrs. Clifford Allison, coordinator of Bicentennial projects for the Kansas Federation of Music Clubs.
"We chose Dean Moesner because he is in a master artist one of the finest artists in Kansas."
The University's symphony orchestra was to have gone to the festival, Allison said, but because the KU band had been sent to the Sun Ball last December, there wasn't enough money available to finance the orchestra's trip.
The Bicentennial series at the Kennedy Center is sponsored by the Exxon Corp. through the National Federation of Music Clubs. The series will be paid and paid for rental of the concert hall.
Moeser, who has played the piano since he was a child, began playing the organ in high school.
After his performance tonight at the Kennedy Center, Moeser will travel to Syracuse University, N.Y., to perform in a recital July 14. He will return to KU July 15.

Drysdale's dismissal upsets team
By COURTNEY THOMPSON
Drysdale said Friday that she and Marion Washington, director of women's athletics,
Sharon Drysdale, assistant professor of physical education, is taking her dismissal as women's softball coach at the University of Kansas philosophically, but her former associates are openly upset over the situation.
Washington, who announced Drysdale's dismissal Monday, said Thursday that personal conflict and a plan to consolidate the women's program were the reasons she didn't renew Drysdale's contract. Unless a formal statement was released after her engagement with Drysdale, Washington said, she would have no further comment.
"AS I SEE IT, she (Washington) had the

authority to hire and fire, and in my case she exercised that right," Drysdale said. "I don't see that the situation will change in any event and I think a rehash of the rationale behind her actions would be non-productive.
DETROIT (AP) —Rusty Staub singled to center with two men out in the 12th inning yesterday to drive in the winning run as the Kansas City Rivals a 6-5 victory over the Kansas City Royals.
Sports
The Royals tied the game in the seventh with three runs on singles by Frank White and Al Cowens and a sacrifice fly by Amos Otis. After George Brett's single, John Mayberry singled home Cows, and Brett scored on a wild pitch by Hiller.
John Wockentuss, who walked off Royals reliever Steve Mingori and got to third on successive sacrifice bunts, scored on Staub's hit.
Mingori, 3-1, was tagged with the loss, while Mingiori relief ace John Hiller. 8-4, got cut off in a drive.
Staub's 12-inning single spells defeat for Royals
The Royals broke the Tigers' shutout in the sixth inning when Cowens doubled and scored from second on a long sacrifice fly to right field.
The Royals almost scored in the top of the 12th when they loaded the bases. Otis was hit in the head, but followed with his second double of the game. Mayberry drew a walk, loading the bases, but the Tigers saved a run when Rodriguez missed McRae's grounder and fired to the plate.
Brett, the American League's leading hitter, warmed up for his appearance in tomorrow's All-Star game with four hits in six appearances at the plate. It was the fourth time this year he has collected four hits in a single game.
The eighth inning opened with the dual ejections of Johnson and Tiger Manager Ralph Houk. Houk said after the game that he impired Emile Joe Brinkman ousted Johnson, whom he bench, for making an obscene gesture. When he protested, be too, was tassled out.
The threat was extinguished when Cookie Rojas grounded into a double play.
"We both realized at the meeting Thursday that our positions wouldn't change and that specific accusations and rebuttals won't achieve anything," she said.
"Washington and I both wanted to develop a winning team, but in our program there was a lot more to it than just won-lost figures." Drydale said. "I enjoyed working with the women, earning their respect and having a good team too."
OTHERS ASSOCIATED with KU
wrote a letter to the
termination as coach, without question.
Debbie Kuhn, Atchison junior, who was on the KU football team last year, said Drysdale's termination was a disappointment to all team members.
Karen Harris, assistant women's softball coach, said Drydale's release was a disaster. She said she wasn't surrounded by clear instances surrounding Washington's actions.
"Working with Drysdale gave me the flexibility I required." Harris said. "My ideas were considered seriously and I received total cooperation from her."
"WASHINGTON MET WITH us and talked about why she took the action she did. But I don't think she really convinced us. I guess she has a different ideas from ours." Kuhn said.
Janet Brown, Raytown, Mo., senior, who was also on last year's team, agreed that Washington's explanation to the team was unsatisfactory.
"I think her reasons are more a 'top-out' than anything else. Anyone who has to defend a decision to this extent is uncertain of the soundness of the actions," she said.
Brown said she thought that about 50 per cent of women athletes were dissatisfied with the overall program. She said many of them would be disappointed. Drysdale after learning of her dismissal.
"All of us still have questions which weren't given adequate answers. We've been told about money over and over but we don't explain everything," she said.
Brown said Washington told team members that the consolidation of softball and baseball were the reasons for her actions. Drysdale's instigation of negative feelings were the reasons for her actions. Brown said the team thought these were primarily based on personal rather than objective reason.
BECAUSE BROWN and other team members supported Washington for the position of athletic director, Brown said, she thought they weren't against Washington but were upset over the impact on the softball program.

"Workman's compensation new collectable is one-half to two-thirds normal pay. We want this changed to full pay for at least a 60-day period."
The five per cent pay increase by itself wouldn't cause a major reorganization of most firefighter's financial status, Penner said.

Another demand made by the firemen concerned workman's compensation coverage. Although he hasn't had occasion to need the compensation for job-related illness, Pernan said, he agreed with the firefighters request for increased benefits.
"But when you consider a total 11 per cent increase this becomes an obvious factor because you're talking about close to $100 a month. You can make a definite impact on your budget."
Penner said that the city's offer to make up the difference between full pay and current compensation benefits was acceptable.

Penner said that, as of late Friday afternoon, the city hadn't come up with a counter proposal to submit to the firefighter's association.
a'heroots! Meerschanums! Brier Boots!
One problem that won't change regardless of the outcome of current negotiations but which continues to annoy firefighters is lack of pay parity with policemen.
