Rights movements topic of debate
A public forum on the impact of the women's and gay rights movements on society will be 7:30 p.m., Monday in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
The debate is sponsored by the Commission on the Status of Women, Gay Services of Kansas, KU-Y and the Women's Studies Program.
"The Women's Rights Movement and the Gay Rights Movement are Destructive to Society."
HAROLD VOTH, senior psychiatrist with the Meninger Foundation in Topeka, and Betty Hanieck, chairman of Women Opposed to the Equal Rights Amendment in the Greater Kansas City Area, will debate in support of the proposition.
Debating in opposition will be Bruce Voeller, co-executive director of the National Day Task Force in New York City, and David Levine, a psychologist with the Menninger Foundation.
Each side will present two 10-minute
speeches followed by five minute rebuttals. A public question and answer session will follow. Karlyn Campbell, professor of speech and drama, will moderate.
Besides the debate, Voeller will participate in a press conference at 9:30 a.m. Monday in the International Room of the Union.
There also will be a workshop on gay right at 2 p.m. in the Council Room of the City Library.
According to Todd Van Lamingham, director of Gay Services of Kansas, interest in sponsoring the debate stemmed from remarks Voth made in San Diego two years ago. Hof said that the women's and gay rights debate was in the destruction of the American family.
Van Lanningham said that the two issues, women's rights and gay rights, were being debated together because they are philosophically related and because the
persons who are lobbying against one issue are also lobbying against the other.
Voth has lectured nationally about his views on "integrating trends in the family," and has testified in opposition to gay rights in numerous court hearings. His most recent book, "The Family and the Future of Man," is soon to be published.
VOTH'S COLLEAGE in the debate, Hanicke, was chairman of the Kansas delegation to the International Women's Year Conference in Houston.
In addition to his work with the national Gay Task Force, Voeller serves on the board of directors of the Gay Rights National Lobby. He was a member of the delegation of gay activists that met with the Carter administration.
Voeller's colleague in the debate, Lerner, is a member of the Mayor's Commission on the Status of Women in Topeka, and women's difficulties with anger and aggression.
Drug research center gets name
KU's research in designing more effective drugs is currently being done by 18 researchers in seven departments, Mathias Steinhardt and his program, said yesterday. The departments will come together in the new Center for Drug Discovery at a situeed near 21st and Iowa streets, he said.
A new building for drug research, under construction on KU's West Campus, has been named in memory of Edward L. Cobb, a professor at the University of Kansas for 14 years.
Swissman was chairman of the KU department of medicinal chemistry until his death in 1974. He also was involved in national research of basic mechanisms of drug action—how drugs take effect in diseased bodies.
HE WAS CHAIHRMAN of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy and
the American Chemical Society, and also secured the Health Sciences Advancement Award, which resulted in construction of KU'Mcollum Research Laboratories.
Mertes said that Swissman was an inspiration to many young investigators and that the building was in recognition for his Kansas a center of research in drug design.
The researchers are now trying to develop new and more effective drugs to combat epilepsy, cardiovascular diseases and other disorders. They have also developed effective methods of use for current drugs.
The KU Center for Drug Design is a research agency created last year by a $1.25 million grant from the National Institute of Health.
This is the first time the institute has supported a basic group of researchers in the area.
