Letter sent to historical group to determine fate of 'Jimmy'
By BRIAN SETTLE
Staff Writer
An undelivered letter to the Kansas Historical Society will lead to the determination of the fate of the Jimmy Green Staue.
Although Max Lucas, director of facilities planning, said Sunday that he had sent a letter to the society last week, Julie Wortman, state architectural historian, said yesterday that it had not arrived.
The Preservation Act of 1977 required the University to renomify the society of the university.
The preservation act provides protection against tampering by state or local groups with historical sites listed in the National Register of Historical Places. Green Hall and the Jimmy Green statue are listed in the register, Wortman said.
Last February, Lucas sent a letter to the society stating the University's intentions to move the statue. The letter was in compliance with the Federal Historic Act of 1966, which protects historical actions against any federal action or tamering.
HOWEVER, BOTH the federal and
state laws require the society to be notified when a group intends to change a historical site in any way and requires the University to notify the society again.
The society can vet the change if it decides that timbering is not in the interest.
If a group disagrees with the society's decision, the issue will go to a district court.
Wortman said when Lucas' letter was received the society would analyze what effect moving the statue would have on its historical significance.
"We'll look at the historical perspective, the importance of the statue, how integral it is to the property that it is on and why we are involved in choosing the site," she said.
The society would gather information from opponents and proponents of the moving, she said, and probably would also experts in architecture and art history.
ALTHOUGH THE society had received several calls concerning the moving of the statue, Wortman said no specific reason was given for its move to keep the statue in front of old Green.
she said, a public hearing would be posi-
tive, unlikely, for deciding the fate of the state.
If enough public interest were aroused,
If the society does not respond to the instructions of the mannan KU could go ahead with the move.
The plan to move the statue has been under fire recently by a group of faculty and students who think the sculpture should be obliterated of old Green Hall on Hawk Boulevard.
The latest protest was Friday at the Kansas Union. A table was set up by Marina Sarapas, Longmeadow, Mass., freshman, to gather names for a petition opposing the move. Sarapas said Friday she had collected about 500 names.
One Feb. 10, six representatives of an eight-member group that opposes the move met with Del Shankel, executive director, in a closed meeting at Strong Hall.
THE GROUP argued that the statue belonged to the entire University, not just the law school. In addition, the group said the new location would deteriorate the statue because of the excessive fumes of heavier car traffic. The group also said that the sculptor specifically chose the site in front of Green Hall.

"We're the only party with a set of permanent principles in its constitution," Shelton said Friday. "We're dedicated to this country as a free enterprise country."
American Party seeks support
The American Party is supporting Frank W. Shelton Jr., a Cherryware rancher in his hometown of Plattsburgh.
The set of principles includes opposition to U.S. membership in world organizations, opposition to federal involvement in welfare, education or public works, opposition to foreign aid and support of strong military defense measures.
Shelton said that in 1976 650 American Party members ran for offices nationwide. The presidential candidate, Tom Anderson, received 85,000 votes, he said.
ANDERSON'S platform opposed abortion, theEqual Rights Amendment, busing, gun control, open housing and employment quotas.
Anderson and the American Party advocated capital punishment, congressional curbs on the jurisdiction of federal courts, abolition of the Federal Reserve System, American control over the Panama Canal and withdrawal from the United Nations.
Shelton said the American party hoped to attract the independent voters who were
dischanted with the Republican and Democratic parties.
"Both parties are dominated by the liberal Eastern establishment," Shelton said. "The majority of Americans are independents because they are tired of the professional politicians who promise anything and everything to get elected."
Shelton said he had been a Republican for 48 years and joined the American party in 1978 because he wanted an opportunity to help pick the candidates who would run in
THE AMERICAN party holds a national convention to choose the candidates. This year its National Committee is actively supporting only five candidates nationwide because it doesn't want to dilute its efforts, as Shelton is one of the five candidates.
"The American Party is the only vehicle available for the independent to pick the
nominies for office," he said. "The other parties are controlled by an elite group."
Shelton said Reagan led the Republican nomination for president in 1976 because he refused to compromise his principles for the power elite who controlled the party.
"It was obvious the people wanted beacon," Shelton said. In Kansas three years ago, a city council was considering
SHELTON SAID the main issues in the Kansas gubernatorial election were related to the budget.
"The farmers are getting less than 50 percent parity for their products," he said. We need to save the productive people of the farm by reducing taxes on taxes to help the farmers and ranchers."
Shelton said he had a good chance to win this year because the state had an unpopular governor and because there was a law against him in the Democratic party for the nomination.

BIGFOOT SIGHTED IN OREGON
-MURPHY STILL MISSING
After an extensive 2 county manhunt, Paddy Murphy, KU student and member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity, has not been located. Rewards have been offered by the Chickasha County Oklahoma Sheriff's Department and SAE. Sheriff Jake T. Chewbaker said yesterday that he had received no information since his office of counsel was moved to another location, a fraternity spokesman, said the house phone had not stopped ringing since their offer yesterday. Unfortunately there have been few solid leads in the disappearance.
In the past, Paddy had been known to wander for days or weeks looking for things and places no one else had ever seen. On several occasions, he had set out looking for his long lost friend, Uncle Cicele. When contacted in her dorm room today she commented on her old *Ida* "# # # He was just disgusting, always drunk. He would belch, then cry out, 'room for more' and down the closest thing with any alcohol in it. Once I saw him drink a bottle of artificial rum flavoring. Other one time he drank my roommates hair conditioner. It would be nice in a way if you could find him but it's no big deal."
If you have any information on Paddy Murphy's whereabouts, please call the SAE house at 913-843-5700. A reward has been offered.
