The exhibit, sponsored by the Lawrence Art Guard and the city Parks and Recreation Department, featured paintings, etchings, leatherwork, pottery, woodwork, photography and other arts and crafts done by 150 local artists.

1977 budget . . .
SHELA IMMEL, co-chairman of Art in the Park, said yesterday, "The exhibit is open to any artists from Lawrence or the small surrounding areas who is over 18. Our only other stipulation is that everything be original, by the artists."
In addition to the art, the afternoon offered to Lawrence residents the weather for frolicking in the park, complete with music, corn dogs, bomb-pops and balloons.
propriated approximately $99.2 million for "education in general"; $9.6 million for auxiliary enterprises, such as operation of the student health service and the residence halls; and $4 million for service clearing operations.
Service clearing operations are University-operated services that are similar to commercial businesses, such as the Center and the University Printing Service.
The proposed budget for 1977 compares with $60.4 million for "education in general" in the fiscal 1976 proposed budget and $26.1 million for auxiliary enterprises in 1976.
supplemental appropriations have been added to the 1976 budget by the legislature. Additional funding for higher utility costs was one supplemental appropriation made
Funds for utilities will be among the changes in the fiscal 1977 budget because of the legislature's creation of a separate line item for utilities funded from the state's general fund. In past years utility expenses usually fall from general operating expenditures.
Jones said the business affairs office was now planning for the tentative fiscal 1978 budget.
He said that some items in the budgets changed each year and that new formulas for figuring such items as employee incentives and other measures may be year by the federal and state governments.
The music was provided by Musicians Union Local S12 and varied throughout the day from the Union City Band to the Deerfield 6th grade choir, the Grand Poob Bah Beaner Band and country rock with Little Joe and the Wisemen.
THE EXHIBITS also varied. Karen Gelbard lent the day showing interested onlookers how to spin yarn from raw wool. Gelbard explained preparation of the wool and the spinning process then went on to show how to turn wheel a similar to those used in colonial days.
Linda Bruscoin exhibited her etchings for the second year at Art in the Park.
"I think the more times you exhibit in
it," he adds, "more popular your exhibit is."
"Russell's book."
Immel said she thought the day was a success for everyone.
Ten per cent of the profits from Art in the Park go to the Lawrence Art Guild for use in a scholarship fund that lets area children take art and dance lessons at the city's recreation center, Immel said. The money of the money goes to the exhibitors.
"I'M VERY PLEASED with the war's it
to park it in the Park just seems
to take care of us."
