Sculptor's son molding return of Coronado
Staff Writer

When Coronado, the Spanish explorer, passed through Kansas in 1841, he hardly expected to return. However, he will soon be seen as the second appearance in Seward County.
A statue of Coronado is nearing completion in the basement of Lindley Hall. When finished, it will stand in front of the Coronado Museum in Liberal.
of the colonies.
According to legend, Coronado was lured to Kansas by a fellow traveler with the promise of finding gold.
The statue's sculptor, Malcolm Frazier, has been working on the project full time since May with the help of his mother. Beverly Frazier, also a sculptor.
Upon his arrival, he found that he had been tricked and that his companion had simply wanted to return to his home. He had the man desired and left Kansas.
Frazier is the son of the late Bernard "Poco" Frazier, former KU professor of history. Bernard Frazier was originally commissioned to do the statue in 1975 by the Seward County Historical Society. When he died in 1976, his son picked up where
"I didn't have my own studio when I started the project," he said. "I asked the University for a space, and this is what they gave me."
He said he had had some problems with the statue, which began as a two-foot quarter-scale model and gradually grew to its current height of eight feet.
FRAZIER SAID that, although the light was bad, he did not mind working in the basement of Lindley.

the proportions were difficult," he said. "It's gone through many changes. We did a lot of work on the legs to make them annear powerful."
He said there also had been problems deciding how to dress the statue.
"We went to Madrid to get an idea of the type of armor and clothes the statue should have, but when we arrived, we weren't allowed to take pictures," he said. "Finally, they let me make some drawings."
"The styles of the time were varied. We tried three different kinds of pants on the statue and finally chose what we liked."
His next step, he said, will be to make plaster molds of the statue and take them to Mexico to be bronzed.

Student seating remains same; band section moves
By TAMMY TIERNEY
Staff Writer
Student seating for football will not be changed this fall after all coverage to Ron Allen, charperson of the Student Senate
The only seating change will be a move of the KU band to the top deck. Allen said Friday...
The decision to retain student seating was made in response to a University of Kansas Athletic Corporation suggestion last spring that certain portions of the seating be rearranged to increase ticket sales to the public.
In May the Student Senate unanimously passed a resolution to disprove any changes in student seating.
"There will be the exact same number of student seats and of band seats," Allen said. "We just decided that moving the band up one step would be a good idea."
ALLEN SAID he thought the change in band seating would make the band more audible to the crowd and the game more visible to
The decision was made after an alternative suggestion to move the hand to the "horsehose" section of the field was strongly applied.
I move was tentatively agreed upon at the last meeting of the seating board in May. The final approval was stayed until fall, and then we moved to a separate session.
"We didn't want anyone to think that we were making decisions back their backs by waiting until the Kansan stopped printing."
"We held the meeting then because that was the only time that was convenient."
was convenient. Doug Messer, acting KU athletic director, said that although
final approval had not been given for the plan, tickets for the new seats would be printed this summer so that the athletic department would know.
"Final approval is a matter of dotting the 'i's and crossing the 's'," Messer said. "We have to write tickets in June or July, I don't care whether the band moves or not. I have no preferences whatsoever. However, if someone wants to reverse the decision, I will."
MESSER SAID he did not know whether the move would generate any additional revenue.
"It's such a negligible move that it's hard to say," he said.
"she is the negetive brother that she is told to say" the sami.
Foster KU band director, said he was not displeased with the move.
"I look at it basically as a positive move," Faster said. "I wasn't unhappy where we were, but there are several advantages to the
"The band is very directional. If you're behind it, you can't hear it. The higher we are, the more people can hear us."
"Also, the kids who have seats behind us can see when we get up and start to play. The area where we're moving to would eliminate that problem. They may have to stand, but at least they'll be able to see."
Foster said the only problem with the move would be that it gave the band less time to get to the field.
"We'll have a problem moving all those people," he said. "It'll be tighter timewise. We'll have to prepare more carefully and hustle faster. That's the only negative thing, though, and we're prepared to live with it.
"If we get up there and more people can hear who weren't able to and more people can see who weren't able to, then I think something will be accomplished that really needed to be accomplished."
Marchers urge ERA extension
WASHINGTON (AP)—Dressed in white and carrying barriers reminiscent of the suffragists of the past century, thousands of demonstrators marched yesterday to the Capitol to urge Congress to extend the time limit for identification of the Equal Rights Amendment.
Estimates of the crowd's size varied widely. Joseph Gentile of the District of Columbia Police estimated the crowd at as many as 55,000, but Kent Bowen of the U.S. Park Police said his staff on the scene estimated the crowd at between 90,000 and 100,000.
The marchers in the 90-degree summer heat included New Jersey Gov. Brendan Byrne and Lt. Govs. Mary Anne Knapusk and David Dempster, Kentucky and Melvin Dymally of California.
The demonstrators marched in rows of 24 along Constitution Avenue from the Washington Monument to a rally on the Capitol's west steps.
Gloria Stenna marched holding the hand of 8-year-old Katie Pottinger, the daughter of Stanley Pottinger, former director of the office of civil rights in the Justice Department.
PRESIDENTIAL ASSISTANT Midge Costanza marched, as did the head of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Eleanor Holmes Norton and Patricia Hunt, to provide rural and urban development; television and movie stars Jean Staplton, Dick Gregory, Marle Thomas and Ellen Burstyn; and pioneer females Betty Friedan, Bella Abzug and Dorothy Struck.
Jews, blacks jeer Chicago Nazis
COLLIN AND his group arrived under heavy police escort at about 2 p.m.
CHICAGO (AP)—Protected by riot-equipped police, Nazi leader Frank Collin and 20 of his fellow stormtroopers held a crowd of about a crowd of 1,000 in an urban park.
Few in the crowd heard Collin's 20-minute speech attack Jews and blacks because the police held the crowd away from the loudspeakers. Some counterdemonstrators shouted, "Death to the Nazis, death to the Nazis."
The police said there were a few arrests but did not give an exact fixture.
The marchers came from every state. Most of them wore white with ribbons of gold, white and purple being the colors used by the suffragists in their hundreds of marches during their 70-year fight for the vote.
There were no serious incidents
A stromtrooper spoke first. Then Collin spoke of a 1978 white revolution, in which the police were killed and many blacks were killed.
Collin, leader of the National Socialist Party of America, spoke from the top of a white van surrounded by hundreds of police in Chicago's Marquette Park, in a sometimes racially troubled neighborhood of tree-lined streets.
Jews, would be wiped off the face of the earth.
immediately after Collin finished speaking, the Nazis climbed back into their two cars and left the park protected by a police escort on horseback.
At one point, more than 100 helmeted policemen, their nightsticks in hand, stretched across a street, blocking the way. Police groups who had planned to confront the Nazis.
About a mile from the park, hundreds of ript-equipped police kept a close watch on another large group of coun- trys. They were tried to make their way toward the park.
A scheduled goose-stepping demonstration never materialized.
Shouts of "Fasciat Nazis go to hell!" were heard from other counterdemonstrators at the rally.
AMONG GROUPS that said they would protest against the Nazi rally were the militant Jewish Defense League, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Operation PUSH and a Lithuanian-American coalition.
The blockade was set up about a mile from the Nazis' rally site. Collin and his group battled in the courts for more than a year to win the right to hold the rally in
Marquette Park, an area that Collin calls the "city center" and that is near his group's headquarters.
The park itself has been the scene of racial confrontations in the past. The Rev. Martin Luther King was stoned when he was beaten and then housed marches in the area in the 1960s.
The residential area that surrounds the park is predominantly white and middle and lower-income.
A last attempt to stop the match failed when the U.S. Supreme Court refused Friday to hold up the Marquette Park rally. The Chicago Park District petitioned a federal appeals court to reintestate a man charged with the Nazis post a 480,000 insurance bond.
Israel rejects Egypt's peace plan
they passed the National Archives, they cheered women who were holding a banner high on the steps emblazoned with the words of the ERA.
JERUSALEM (AP)—The Israeli Cabinet rejected yesterday Egypt's latest peace proposals but decided nevertheless to send Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan to London to resume direct talks with the Egyptians for the first time in six months.
Dayan and the Egyptian foreign minister, Mohammed Ibrahim Kamel, will meet July 18-19, along with U.S. Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance. The agenda consists of two meetings each officially rejected in advance. Egypt voted Israel's peace plan in December.
Collin and his group fought two
In another development, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat met with the leader of the Israeli political opposition, Shimon Peres, in Vienna and said there had not been enough diplomatic efforts to justify another meeting with Israel Prime Minister Menachem Begin.
"Without new elements in the position of the Israeli government, it will be very difficult to meet again because we shall take two different languages," Solat said.
"No change in Israel's plan was decided upon," he said.
The decision to send Dayan to London had been expected ever since Vice President Walter F. Mondale extracted a pledge from the Israelis to do so when he visited Israel a
In Vienna, Peres said he was meeting with Sadat in his capacity as an Israeli party leader, not as a representative of his government.
SADAT MET with Israel Labor Party leader Peres, Austrian Chancellor Bruno Kreisky and former West German Chancellor Willy Brandt, president of the Socialist International grouping of Western socialist parties.
The prayer meeting's organizers contended that ERA would result in "free and unfeeted abortions, preferential treatment for homosexuals and a federally mandated unisex society in which women will be indistinguishable from men."
After the regular Cabinet meeting, Begin said the Egyptian plan made public Wednesday for settlement of the Arab-Iraeli conflict was completely unacceptable to Israel. The plan cannot lead to the establishment of peace, he said.
BEGIN, REJECTING the possibility of an independent Palestinian state, has proposed a continued Israeli military presence in the territories and limited self-rule for their inhabitants. Egypt has rejected that plan, and the two countries' earlier talks broke down with the withdrawal and Palestinian rights. A Israel Foreign Ministry analysis called it extreme.
The ERA, the proposal Congress approved in 1972 that would prohibit discrimination based on sex, has been ratified by 35 of the 38 states that are needed to pass the ERA. But Tennessee, Idaho and Nebraska have voted to rescind their approval.
period during which the future political Palestinian populations would be decided.
Sadat held talks with Begin twice late last year, in Jerusalem and Egypt.
The Justice Department has said that Congress must ultimately decide if the Obama administration should reopen.
Despite this expected opposition to the plan, the Cabinet authorized Diyan to meet with President Obama.
The Sadat plan calls for Israel to turn over its East Bank to Jordan and the Gaza Strip to Israel.
Cabinet Secretary Ariel Naro was asked to carry out a mission, carrying an armed Israel peace plan to Lebanon.
THE DEADLINE for ratification is March 22, 1979. The purpose of yesterday's demonstration was to urge Congress to extend the ratification period by seven years. The proposal has been introduced in both the House and Senate, and it narrowly won the approval of a House Judiciary subcommittee.
"I didn't come to negotiate," he said. "I am not authorized to do that. Government and opposition parties are a parliamentary arrangement but the nation is one."
Many of the marchers said they planned to remain in Washington after the march to lobby for the extension. A congressional recess today.
Holding placards saying, "You can't tool Mother Nature," and "Lib is a Fib," the opponents heard Lillean Koglear of White Plains, N.Y., say, "This nation is in a time of great moral crisis. The laws of this land have been set against its citizens and replaced with an ethic as bad as that of Nazi Germany."
COLLIN HAD SAID that he was using the Skokie match-up strategy against Maui in Mauna Loa Park.
simultaneous court battles for more than a year, one to hold a rally in the heavily Jewish suburb of Skokke, home of 7,000 residents. It is also the other to rally in Marquette Park.
The procession followed early morning prayer services at the Washington National Cathedral.
The threat of the Skokie march drew worldwide protests from Jewish organizations and the promise of violence from the Jewish Defense League.
Rosalyn Carter, wife of the president, expressed support for the ERA march in a statement issued from the presidential retreat at Camp David.
"I WHOLEHEARTEDLY support all who have come to Washington to rally for the Equal Rights Amendment," she said. "It is important for every woman to demonstrate in her own way that full equality under law is a basic human right and we should continue my own personal efforts to ensure the ratification of this amendment."

Phyllis Schaffer, a leader of ERA opponents, said that the chief problem women face was "the federal government downed the people's trust that they don't want."
