KU artist hunts for ox
By Rea Wilson Kansan Staff Reporter
Raymond Eastwood, professor of drawing and painting, has been looking for an ox since February.
"There just aren't any oxen in this part of the country anymore," Eastwood said.
Eastwood needs the ox as a model for a mural he is painting for a bank in Gardner, Kan.
In order to finish the mural as soon as possible, Eastwood has substituted photographs of oxen and a painting by Peter Paul Rubens, 17th-century Flemish artist, for a real model.
The 5 by 18 foot mural depicts the point at which the Oregon trail leaves the Santa Fe trail near what is now Gardner.
Although Eastwood has been working on the mural for 10 months, he has not spent that much time painting.
Most of his time has been devoted to research on the two trails and modes of travel in early America.
Scattered around his studio in the basement of Strong Hall are photographs and miniature models of covered wagons, stage coaches, horses, and mules.
In his research, Eastwood has
found differing opinions as to exactly where the Oregon trail began.
"Some sources say the Oregon trail branched off the Santa Fe trail near Gardner. Others say it passed through Leavenworth." Eastwood said.
Leavenworth is northeast of Gardner and is not likely to have been in the northwest path of the Oregon trail if the trail began in Gardner. Eastwood said.
Besides research into the history of American travel west,
moving has also taken up East-
wood's time. The mural was started in old Robinson gymnasium. Eastwood moved the mural and his painting equipment to the basement of Strong Hall when the demolition crews started tearing down the gymnasium. He is planning another move to Flint Hall soon.
"I made out an idx card for a file on where each piece of material was in the storage boxes. But I lost the file," Eastwood said. "I now have to hunt around before I can find what I need."
KU prof to discuss brain disorders
A KU professor of special education, James O. Smith, will be discussion moderator of a seminar at the 1967 convention of the Easter Seal Society. Smith will lead the discussion at the Nov. 16-19 convention in Los Angeles.
The seminar will explore the medical and educational aspects of minimal brain dysfunction, a disorder of a child's learning faculties. This disorder recently has been identified as a major handicapping condition among children.
Smith also is director of graduate programs in special education at KU.
Easter Seal board members, volunteers and professional staff members from every state, plus Puerto Rico, will attend the convention.
Subjects of discussion at the conference will include the duties and responsibilities of the Easter Seal Society and the means of improving and expanding rehabilitation services for crippled children and adults.
