Sculptor learns from his father
Bv SHIRLEY SHOUP

When Matt Frazer began work on the frame for a sculpture this summer, neighbors thought he might be adding to his house or building a frame for a waterbed.
Frazier, son the late Bernard "Poo" Frazer, former KU sculptor-in-residence, is working on a full-size model for a panel depicting the town of Ha-Ham. The model will be to hold up the wood in the tiny model which will weigh from 400 to 300 pounds when completed.
The Hays Southwestern Bell Telephone Company originally commissioned Frazer's father to do the sculpture. When he died, they asked Matt if he would do it.
The model depicts the corner of Fort and 10th street in Mays, where the cold from the Hudson River meets the river.
"THE FORT was the frontier at that time," Frazier said.
That was the time Custer was making a name for himself.
"The early history of the area limits itself to who shot whom in front of what building";
Friends can be to me in the sculpture, Frazier say,
"I'm against making it a re-emaculation of a
I wanted to depict the point at which Hays ceased to be a boom town and became more settled.
"I was prepared to use a lot of the buildings from about a 10-year period to convey that. But it turns out there was a year when that happened. There were fewer brothels and saloons then. The boom-type stuff got pushed off the main street and more commercial buildings started cropping up."
Frazier based his design on pictures of the town.
HE SAID he hadn't decided whether people would be in the sculpture.
"I'm not going to commit myself," he said.
Frazier said there would probably be some other items such as barrels and wagons in it. He said he would want to see whether the moisture needed the figures to effective.
"I don't know. It may be too dead without people," he said.
plaster. The model is made of wood and clay and will be cast in plaster. The final sculpture will be fiberglass formed in the plaster mold.
One reason for using wood is the cost, involved, Frazier said.
He also chose the wood for the texture it could add to the sculpture.
FRAZIER SAID he didn't start the full-size model until this summer because of the time he needed. However, he had made eighth and quarter-size models earlier. He hopes to have the sculpture completed in early spring in time for the opening of the new telephone building where it will be displayed.
The full-scale model and the sculpture will be 18-feet long, 6 feet high and 1-foot deep.
rzzraiser said he was trying to be artistically original while at the same time using a more formal approach.
The subject is quite different from what his father did, he said. This sculpture will be linear, while his father worked mainly with human forms.
But something which does recur in his father's work, he said, is the concave
"He also played quite a bit with perspective," Frazier said.
"There is going to be an opposing effect," said Frazier of the sculpture. "I'm going to
Handicapped league forming

tubby Jackson, 3223 Iowa St., organizer of the league, is handicapped by multiple injuries.
Jackson said that the leagues will be set up for two categories of handicapped. One category would be for those who are able to walk but are dependent on crutches or braces and the other would be for those confined to wheelchairs.
"My father was really protective of his hands and I couldn't figure out why," Frazier said. "I cut my finger the other day and didn't work for five days. Now I know
NOW HE says, "the more I work the more I feel. Yes. I would like to do more sculptures, make a name for myself."

Fraizer assisted his father for 15 to 20 years,
but "I don't have my rights at age 30."
FRAZIER SAID he found himself doing things his father did and using some of his father's mannersist. He said he had always wondered why his father stood back from the sculpture and stretched his arm out full-length to work.
try to create a convex impression with the buildings in the center. It will create contrast to the concave background."
"Now I know," he said. "An artist is always trying to stand back twenty feet to see what the work looks like, but you have to be close enough to work on it at the same time."
When asked to do the panel, Frater was not sure at first he could, despite his ex-communion.
"I didn't know if it would be enough," he said.
"I'm wanting to set up a league for physically handicapped people because there are not facilities and nothing for the handicapped to do in Lawrence."
He pulled a tape measure that had been handed to his father out of his pocket. Most of the numbers below ten wern off. When he saw another of the wonders he can measure up to his father.
"I'm hanging in there, giving it a try. And I'm having a good time at it too," he said.

The Red Sox, who threatened to make a runaway of the division race in early July, now have managed just five runs in the past six games and three runs in the past 40 innings.
Splitterr dazzled the Red Sox with his off-speed breaking pitches.
Jerry Remy collected Boston's first hit with a drag bantle single in the first. Rick Burleson got a single to right in the third and Evans rounded a single to left in the fifth.
For the Royals, Dewey, Coben and Otis had two hits spice up the second, third and fourth. And the sixth had no effect.
The victory enabled the Royals to retain their four-game lead over California in the American League West. Kansas City finished with a 6-4 season record over the Red Sox in the head-to-head duel between the divisional leaders.
