4 Moadav. June 14. 1976 University Daily Kansan 'Poco's sculptured history "I have more to do than I ever dreamed I would. It is such a big field and there is so much to be learned, it is true I am just starting." These were the words of the late Bernard "Poo" Frazier upon retiring this spring from his 36-year professorship at KU. His unexpected death on May 24 meant the loss of a great exponent of American heritage and culture. He was founded upon the pioneering spirit. Frazier, raised on a cattle ranch near Riverhead, graduated as career as a scientist when he was a boy. He made small sculptures of deer and horses and studied cow bones and animal That study was his first art training and the source of sculptural vitality that was to be characteristic of his work throughout his life. Frazier attended KU from 1928 to 1929 as a student in the department of design. In addition to his academics, he presented an annual exhibition called "Poco," Spanish for "little," the 5'2" Frazier won six individual championships in the "Big Seven" conference and established con- Upon graduation from KU, Frazer became an apprentice to two prominent sculptors in Chicago—Lorado Taft and Freder Torrey. He learned the design and construction of monumental sculpture and began to pursue it professionally. Frazier returned to KU in 1835 and created 12 dioramas in Dyche Museum of New York. Between 1940 and 1950 he won six national sculpture competitions. In 1944 Frazier left KU to become the director of the Philbrook Art Center in Tulsa, where he started the first Annual African American Museum of American Indians. He was one of the first to recognize Indian art as an important part of the American heritage. He contacted, encouraged and sponsored such classic Indian paintings, Black Bear Bosin and Woodie Crumbo. Dick West, Chairman of Humanities at Haskell Indian Junior College, from Frazier University. "Frazier was interested in the perpetuation and preservation of Indian culture, and he was one of the first to do anything about it." West said yesterday. "He was a way ahead in favoring the native Indians in the struggle in stimulating Indians to make their art and in preserving it just as one would the ancient Greeks or Assyrians." Frazier resigned his position at the Philbrook in 1850 to devote full time to sculpturing. One work, the "Hunt," was a tribute, in Frazier's words, to the "10,000 year partnership between man and the one that has come to an end in our life. Well-known to the people of Lawrence is praiser's work on the brons doors of the church, and his study of the architecture. In 1964 Fräizer completed his tribute to all the religions of man in his 70-foot long mosaic relief, "Be Still, Know That I Am God," on his First Methodist Church in Chicago. "Every sculpture he did was a tribute to something," his son, Benni, said. "He was very proud of it." "Justice" is a 24-foot white marble "Building" in Kansas. Supreme Court Building in Kansas. "When my father originally designed the sculpture of 'Justice' he conceived the idea of a woman releasing a falcon into flight in order to symbolize what he felt were the most important ideals of our system of justice in America." Frazier's son said "The two elements of the sculpture are the woman and the falcon. To him the woman was the symbol of compassion and understanding, but at the same time he designed her in a way that she was also active and forceful. The falcon she is often called a falconer and to him was a symbol of speed, precision and vision," he said. Near the end of his life Fradier wrote, "Mankind forever has created symbols to mark in his mind and heart the reality of his hope for reaching higher levels of existence. "There is evidence, it seems to me, that the first purpose of these symbols has most often been to foretell the courses of his spiritual progress rather than to record them afterward. Great works of art are more inclined to lead than they are to follow others." And this is what philosopher Byron their unique powers of providing a focal point for his aspirations they firmly fix the concept which until then may have been fleeting and elusive."

It was in the situation it has nothing to do with Buffalo, the fans there, money or a new contract.

Holtzman left yesterday morning for his home at Lincolnshire, Ill., and neither Baltimore manager Earl Weaver nor another staff member would shed much light on the matter. "I don't know anything about the trade story and I have no comment on it," remarked Weaver after his Orioles dropped an 84 decision to the Rovals. "I wish I could tell you 'yes', but Joe barke knows more about that than me," There was no indication who the Royals might give up in such a trade, but Herzog has remarked in the pass that he considers the Celtic team to be Bird and Dennis Leonard "untouchable." The original announcement was made in Baltimore by Orides spokesman Bob Brown, who said the Orioles wished only to explain why Holtzman had missed his game against the Giants, whether the trade was a one-for-one deal or whether any other players were involved.

"Roger's got a real good attitude, and his arm is very close to being what it was two years ago." "But he's older—he's a gamble for the Yankees and I don't think they'll invest a lot of money." Temple said he had mixed emotions about the loss of Krattili. "You're glad to see that he had been drafited, but you're also disappointed when you were fired." For most, the drive into Lawrence was a time to sit in the shade, and talk about old cars. Story & photos by Jay Koelzer Looking like some lost procession from a parade long since over, 35 antique automobiles arrived in X-zone parking lot Friday on a tour from Topeka. The tour was a special activity of the annual spring meeting of the Antique Automobile Club's Central Division, held last week in Topeka. Only one car had to turn back because of mechanical problems, a commendable average since the temperature was near 90 and most of the cars were at least 40 years old. Steve Jewett, a Lawrence spokesman for Hot drive in Kansas the club, said that the majority of the cars had been restored to reasonably good condition, about like that of a car two or three years old. In some states owners of antique automobiles have to update their machines in order to drive on the road. Kansas laws are less strict, although many owners add that can be detached easily if their cars are ever to be put on display, Jewett said. "Of course they don't have the comforts or safety features of the newer cars," he said. The oldest car participating in the tour. The general feeling among the antique-car buffs present Friday was that authentically restored automobiles are not as good than those modified for speed or comfort. The drivers milled about in the lot, the men in straw hats and the women in billowing dresses, before heading for shade under nearby trees. Sure, it was a hot afternoon last Friday in Lawrence, but it was a beautiful day for a drive. "New things hurt the value of antique automobiles," Jewett said. "The majority of the people want their cars the way they were originally." Vintage cars spanning over three decades brought together contrasting styles, such as in the types of spokes used for the wheels. While some favored the shade of surrounding trees, Kermit Schrenk, from Topeka, escaped the sun by using the shade of his 1926 Model T.
