the children's museum will be children at play. Townsend said.
The children's museum will house the Van Hoes playhouse, donated by Mr. and Mrs. Philip A. Godwin, 603 Ohio St. Towsend said the playhouse, believed to have been built in the late 1870s, had been measured, carefully drawn and photographed, then reconstructed to the museum. Reconstruction of the playhouse will begin soon, he said.
When the playhouse is restored, it will contain some of its original furniture. Other children's items to be displayed will include a child's farm wagon, dolls, china and doll carriages from late Victorian and early Edwardian periods.
"Unfortunately," Townsend said, "most of the objects that survive from that period in this community deal primarily with girls' leisure time rather than boys."
Townsend said there was also the possibility of construction of a small greenhouse to provide the atmosphere and objects of a Victorian classroom to a modern classroom.
Glen L. Kappelman, president of the Douglas County Historical Society, said the collections had been previously stored in the local library and had no lack of other available storage space.
The museum houses historical collections from the Douglas County Historical Society, both on display and in storage.
The collection includes antique furniture, materials from Quantrill's raid, a postcard collection of Lawrence and Douglas County, and area photoarchive archive, a library of Kansas and local history books, and a gun collection.
Photographs of members of the Kansas
Police Department will also be per-
pently housed in the City.
Townsend said the agricultural exhibit would be on display until the end of November. Other exhibits, most of them lent to the museum by the Smithsonian Institution or the Library of Congress, have been scheduled through next fall.
On December 9, an exhibit titled "Blacks and the Westward Movement" will be displayed. Following that will be an exhibit.
"The ready-made Clothing Industry," a study of the changing nature of ready-made patterns, hand-stitching and sewing machines.
Other exhibits will be, "The Great American Scream Machine," a history of the roller coaster; "Vernacular Architecture of the Great" an introduction to the technical architecture of that region; and "Ride On," a display of the history of bicycles in America.
Next fall, two bicentennial exhibits have been planned; "In the Hearts and Minds of the People," a look at the people and policies leading to the American Revolution; and "The Black Presence in the Era of the American Revolution."
Townsend said he was also planning an exhibit about Lawrence that would begin two or two-and-a-half years from now when the 2nd District Court moves out and the second floor of he museum is completely restored.
The Lawrence exhibition would look at the founding of Lawrence, its growth, development, communication and tran- sformation industries, education and its people.
"How well we do will depend on how good our collections are and how good our support."

Jack Orchid, another AAUP member, said she chose to be careful what conclusions she made.
Survey results can be used to support almost any viewpoint, he said.
Stetter agreed, saying, "There are a few people who report, each baving a slightly different flame."
one urgent spot in the KU picture is the rate of salary increase, which averaged 18.0 per cent last year. The national average was 6.4 per cent.
The survey showed, however, that nationally the average faculty income, after adjustment for the cost of living, actually fell 4.2 per cent.
The average worker's adjusted income,
by corporation, fell 5.6 per cent.
The breakdown of women faculty, according to rank was: professor, $20,500; associate professor, $16,700; assistant professor, $13,800; and instructor, $10,400.
the survey also showed that women
nursing mothers at KU made less than
self-made money.
Information compiled by the St. Mary's College of Arts in 1975 painted brighter Sonic for the faculty member.
This average was boosted, however, by the military of the medical faculty, whose yearly budget was $1.2 billion.

the median family income, which is said
to be more than $400,000.
Although admission to the current exhibition is free, he said that, beginning December 1, the museum will charge $1 for adults and 20 cents for children.
Referring to the standing of KU's administrative salaries within the Big Eight, Jones said they were, with a few exceptions, below the average.
The results showed that the average family income of a faculty member was $23,000, as compared to an average for the general public of $12,836.

KU post filled Shankel says
An offer has been sent to a candidate for the job of director of facilities and operations, Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor, said yesterday.
The appointment will be made as soon as a response to the offer is received, Shankel will make arrangements.
Shankel wouldn't identify the person to whom the offer was made, but said it was a mistake.
Also at the press conference, Shankel said that the University of Kansas hadn't received budget cut recommendations yet. He said the governor of the state division of the budget.
But he said he expected cuts in three areas; new programs, operating expense cuts, and training.
"I expect they'll cut them out and require us to substantiate at the governor's budget"
The budget hearing will be Nov. 18.
