Carlson tapes political history for KU library
By SUSANLYNN
Staff Writer
The tape-recorded memoirs of a former U.S. Senator and governor of Kansas, Frank Carlson, will be available soon at Spencer Research Library.
The history, an accumulation of recorded interviews, is being reproduced into written transcripts and tape recordings. The Kansas Bicentennial Committee and Spencel library合作组织了 this project. Beece Construction Company of Scandia paid for the project.
"It's a relatively new procedure," Stitt Robinson, chairman of the bicentennial committee, said yesterday. "Our main interest is to record the opinions of such politicians while they are still sharp enough and important political and social questions."
LARRY YATES, Kansas City, Kan., graduate student in history, conducted nine interviews with Carlson and Corcorta院士 on behalf of Robinson. Yates was selected to conduct the interviews on the basis of academic qualifications and his interest in history and
"The Senator had a remarkable recall of the past 40 years," Yates said. "The experience was enjoyable, and quite easy. I wanted to do research on Carlson and ask questionnaires."
Yates said that the recordings tended to complement written texts, but that by themselves the tapes were inadequate for research purposes.
In the interviews, Carlson recounted his public and personal life as a politician.
ROBINSON SAID Carlson, 83, was a very
unpleasant person who enjoyed享醪 about
their health.
The tapes biggest advantage, Robinson is that the person's voice can be preserved.
THE PROJECT was suggested as a bicentennial endeavor by H. William Reece thnd. Reece Construction Co. last December, in transportation, lugging and transporter costs.

Celebration
KU students and area residents partook of the local festivities over the weekend as Lawrence celebrated the nation's 200th Fourth of July.
The festivities began in South Park, with a three-day Prairie Chautauqua sponsored by the Lawrence Bicentennial Commission. The Chautauqua featured a variety of concerts and other stage presentations, political speakers, games for the children, and perhaps most importantly, food.
Susie Bishop, a seventh grader at West junior high school, wore a clown face that was painted by Brenda Loyd, Lawrence graduate student. Bishop was later seen having as much fun as the little children she waved at.
John Snyder, Lawrence senior, found that his Revolutionary War costume was诺 to walk around in, but his wig wasn't fastened down well enough to dance with Montana Bennett, Bellevue, Neb. graduate student.
Lawrence Jaycees estimated that over 20,000 people crowded the stadium and the grass area around the campanile and night to watch the fireworks display.
Plans for radiation therapy center underway
Groundwork is underway for a new radiation therapy center for the treatment of cancer at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Raymond E. Meyn, senior partner of Meyn and Fennel Architects, Kansas City, Kan, said yesterday that three preliminary studies are ready to present to the University.
after treatment had ended, the cancer was most likely cured.
Some patients can't be treated with radiation, according to Morrison. They include those with severe debilitating illness, those with cancers that are adnexed to the head who have been treated previously to full radiation tolerance of normal tissues.
Ninety per cent of persons with the first stage of cancer of the larynx or cervix, who are treated by radiotherapy, are free of recurrence for at least five years after treatment, Morrison said. Eighty per cent of patients with early symptoms of the lymph nodes or spleen, were free from treatment for five years after treatment, he said.
Two of the designs are for underground construction and one is for a two-story concrete building.
MORRISON SAID about 50 patients a day were treated. Treatments vary in frequency from one to five times a week and from one to eight weeks duration for each patient, he said. Each treatment lasts about 20 to 30 minutes, he said.
THE NEW radiation center therapy will be used primarily for the treatment of cancer. James L. Erickson, assistant manager of Add-America Cancer Center Program, said.
Erickson said that a linear accelerator, one of several machines needed for the center, would take from six to 18 months to build. He also suggested about the time construction begins, he said.
THE KANASS Legislature approved the $3.5 million for the new radiation therapy center this spring. The legislature allocated $2 million for construction. The $1.5 million for equipment will be raised as private gifts.
visited the Med Center. Now, it is a matter of satisfying him on the things he is looking for in the equipment necessary for modern radiation therapy, he said.
"The problem is securing funds for the equipment," Brown said. "We're having meetings to look at possibilities and directions."

Lucas said that the Kansas state architect had approved final fee negotiations for the project.
The Med Center has been without a chairman for the department of radiation oncology for two years. Oncology is the science of tumors.
Police, fire slowdown hinges on talks today
Dale Dean, physicist in the department of radiation therapy, said, "Radiation therapy is a very sturdy component of cancer treatment." We all our leg cancer treatment stands up."

E. B. Brown Jr., vice chancellor for faculties and academic affairs, said the position had not been filled because of the unpaid status of the radiation therapy center.
Erickson said patients had been coming to the Med Center for radiotherapy from Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Iowa and Nebraska.
"We have a candidate and have had him for some time," Brown said. "He has been very patient, but now we are actually moving."
BROWN SAID the candidate for chairman of radiation oncology had recently

A slowdown of Lawrence's fire and police protections could begin this afternoon if talks between representatives of the employees and city prove unsatisfactory.
"We have been a regional referral center for cancer for some time," Ericson said. "As we improve our capabilities, the more difficult cases will come here."
The firefighters and police postponed a joint work slowdown, scheduled for 7 a.m. today, after last Thursday's talks with the city," showed signs of progress."
Richard Morrison, acting chairman of the department of radiation therapy, said if a patient was ill, he should be given fluoride.
If a majority of members from both associations feel talks have stalled, a slowdown that would include the cutting off of sessions would seem to be coming to the University could go into effect.
Buford Watson, city manager, is to meet with representatives from the firefighters' association this morning at 10:30 and with them to discuss matters regarding a settlement and avoid a slowdown.
Barkley Clark, city commissioner, said if firefighters and police took this "congested action" the city also, was prepared to take action.
Following today's meetings with Watson, both associations will meet to decide whether talks are progressing satisfactorily.
"I am pleased that we can continue talks at the table." Watson said Friday.
English 101 course offered to long-distance scholars
Brubaker wouldn't talk about any specifics of the new proposal but did say, "I am pretty optimistic that we can reach an agreement."
He said that it was a "common law" notion that it is illegal for public employees, like police and firemen, to strike, because they are not paid. He also receive the service they provide elsewhere.
Bill Brubaker, secretary for the firefighters association, said that the firemen delivered a new proposal to Watson and any and that every item was negotiable.
Both sides previously agreed to a six per cent cost of living raise but are still separated over the realigning of salaries for staff. This will mean at least five years service in the department.
However, police association representatives said they were still in disagreement with the city on five points they thought they couldn't compromise.

"The city would be ready to seek an injunction, with those involved, with these involved, and disciplinary actions would be taken against people not doing a full day's work." Clark
Mike McMullen talks with his summer students just as he talks with students during the year—except his summer conversational phone and the students are in Kansas City.
McMullen, assistant instructor in English, teaches a summer course in English 101 for students who have just graduated from high school and are enrolled, or plan to study at college. In Kansas. The students, who live at home, do the course work at their own pace.
The police association is also seeking the establishment of educational benefits and services for children.
The course, offered through the Outreach program of Continuing Education, is similar to other independent study courses, and is used by the dependent study in Continuing Education, said.
STUDENTS SEEM to like getting a jump on college while keeping their summer jobs or other plans, be said. Although students get the same amount of writing practice and criticism as other English 101 students they may not have had reading readings that might be helpful, be said.
Students visit the KU campus twice during the summer to get materials for the summer courses. Visit the Museum of Modern Art.
"I don't have some of the guides in talking to students on the telephone. The mouth may be saying, 'Yes, I understand,' but the voice is not as loud as it is I'dn't and—why do I have to "hear" it?"
WHAT MAKES this course appealing is the amount of personal contact with the instructor, including the frequent telephone calls and e-mail responses. You should credit the students receive, she said.
McMullen said students told him they enrolled in the course because a friend was in it, or because they were interested in independent study.
For the rest of the summer, the students work on the lessons outlined in the syllabus and send them to McMullen, who grades and returns them. He telephones students to discuss lessons and answer questions about comments he made in their compositions.
McMullen taught the course for the first time last summer. His 10 students are all female.
McMullen said it was sometimes difficult to tell whether students understood his advice.
The students aren't required to finish in the two months allotted, McMullen said. Two of his students took a little longer than two months last year, but all finished the

Marilyn Kent, Lawrence graduate student, is one of two Lawrence residents who will attend the Democratic National Convention in New York City July 12-15.
ALTHOUGH JIMMY Carter will probably be nominated on the first ballot, Rep. D. Ariz., has not yet released his delegates and alternates, Kent said.
Kent said yesterday she was excited about representing liberals and women at the convention.
Besides supporting Udall on the convention floor, Kent said she wanted to represent Midwestern women in special caucuses during the convention.
She was selected May 1 as an alternate for the two Morris Udall delegates from the New York team, and she alternate, Kent can vote if one of the Udall delegates leaves the convention floor. Kent said she would attend special interest caucuses such as those on energy, women
"We are people morally committed to his liberal stand," she said.

Kent is paying her way to New York. She said the cost of the trip was not a problem because she would be staying with a friend and not paying for a hotel room.

KENT SAID she knew of national women's groups who would have helped finance her trip if she hadn't been able to afford it.
KENT AND McMillan were chosen in political caucuses. Kansas is one of 19 states that chooses delegates in county, district and state caucuses rather than primaries.
The program needn't be limited to recent high school graduates. The handicapped, elderly, or those who aren't close to the university or any other school could take the course for credit or personal fulfillment, but it is possible for a group to take a course together and, by using speaker phone, have group discussions.
Douglas, Wyndotte, Johnson and Franklin counties sent 122 delegates to the Democratic state convention in Teopaca June 5. Those 122 delegates were narrowed to five--two for Carter, one for Udall and two uncommitted.
COLYER SAID when the program began last year, she "just started doing things as they came up and wound up running the program."

"English seems to be the course the kids are really interested in getting the jump on," she said. She wants to add more courses to the program.
Threats, deaths mar rescue joy
TEL. AVIL, Israel (AP)—Israel paused yesterday in its jubilant celebration of the daring rescue rescue in Uganda to bury 16 soldiers killed in the Entebbe Airport shoot-out.
The army watched Israel's borders for threatened revenge attacks by Palestinian militants.
Uganda and other African countries denounced Israel and mounted a political campaign to discredit it.
THE 48-NATION Organization of African Unity (OAU) condemned the commander raid and said it was asking the United Nations to meet immediately to take up the issue.
President Idi Arin of Uganda sent a protest over the raid to the OAU, the United Nations Office for Relief and World Countries. Amin charged in the statement that neighboring Kenya collaborated with Israel in carrying out the attack. The UN soldiers were reported killed and 32 injured.
Kenya has denied such collaboration.
Amin also said Uganda would seek compensation for deaths, injuries and damage and 'reserves the right to retaliate in whatever way possible to redress the harm.'
ISRAELI SHOPS and houses flew the blue-and-white national flag and newspapers. Filed pages with ad-resses for program mgrs in Minister Yitzhak Rahin and the army.
But there was little rejoicing in Batym and Netanya, where two of three hostages killed in the clash with the hijackers were buried.
"This is a harsh land," the husband of 56-year-old Ida Borochovich said. He and his wife, who was killed in the rescue operation, struggled most of their lives to come to Israel from Russia and finally arrived with his family in 1969.
