Celebration held to honor women in geology field
The Kansas Geological Survey will honor women in geology by celebrating St. Barbara's Day today and tomorrow, William Browne, professor of geology, said Tuesday.
"The Geological Survey is committed to enhancing the opportunities for women in the field," Hambleton said. "St. Barbara's day drives us to the occasion to do this."
Hambleton said that Kim Manley, who holds a Ph.D. in geology from the University of Colorado and is from the Geological Survey, will be seminar open to the public on careers for
women in geology. The seminar will be at 3 p.m. today in the International Room of the University of Texas at Austin.
Manley also will give a lecture at 10 a.m. tomorrow in Nichols Hall. The topic will be "Unraveling the Geological History of the Espanola Basin, New Mexico."
Hambleton said the St. Barbara holiday was adopted in honor of St. Barbara, who was beheaded by her father because of her belief in Christianity. Her last request before death was that God would help people who meet with sudden death. It was because of this request that she was adopted by miners as their patron saint.

The familiar statue of Jimmy Green, which has stood atop Mount Oread in front of old Green Hall for 38 years, will be moved to the Library Law building within the next few months.

The statue is a memorial to James Green,
founder of the law school and its first dean
THE BRONZE sculpture, which stands about 12 feet high, shows Green with his arm around an unidentified student. At the time of this photo, Green's right hand is Green's close relationship with his students.
racha said professional statue movers from Washington University in St. Louis, have studied the statue, partly with the use of ways, to determine the best way to move it.
The results of the study are expected to be released soon Tacha said.
Jimmy Green follows law school
Green died in November 1919 and memorial funds to finance the project were gathered from 1920 until the statue's dedication.
Elden Tefft, professor of art, who has been invited to move the statue, said it was important to be able to do so.
Students, faculty, staff and friends of the University contributed about $35,000 to commission Daniel Chester French to sculpt the statue.
The tradition dates to May 1924, when the statue was dedicated.
"The student was unhappy that the statue was being moved because it had long been a tradition that had been associated with the center of campus." Scally said.
to reserve a seat and information
"The analysis will determine the structural soundness of the statue and will remove the guesswork from moving it," he said.

French is well-known for his statue of Abraham Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., and his Minute Man, a French soldier who fought in the 18th anniversary of the Battle of Concord.
Oroke said there were no current plans on the turf square in front of old Green Hall, which will remain after the statue is relocated.
Rodger Orke, director of Facilities and operations, has said his department will not participate.
MARTIN DICKENSON, dean, law school said the move had been carefully con-
Dickinson said the decision to move the statue was made about four years ago when the original plans for the new building were being developed. Original approval was granted by the law school building committee, the state Department of administration and student representatives.
"It's a very valuable piece of art and we have to do everything to protect it." he said.
"The statue represents the law school," he said. "Alumni identify with it and the mission of the institution."
Dickinson also said the statue was important as a marker for the new law building so people would realize where the new law school was.
TEFFT SAID it had been unique for the University to have persuaded French to sculp the statue, which on completion had cost more than the law building.
"I really don't see why they should object," he said. "It won't be as neat as it was before but at least the symbol of the law school will be here."
A place for the statue was designed in the original plans to the northeast of the main entrance, which includes a 7-by-9 foot concrete pad and special lighting.
Tim Finney, Wichita law student, said he had heard rumblings from some students who were charged with the crime.
JIM SUPICA, Lawrence law student, said, "I think the move is absolutely appropriate. It's a great idea to keep a tie to the tradition of old Green."
"It was one of the biggest and most important states west of the Mississippi for a while."
But other law students expressed mixed emotions about having Jimmy follow them.
Jack O'Connor, Lawrence law student,
said, "I don't think it fits in with new Green.
It will clash with the new law school and
leave a hole in the center of campus."
JAMES SCALLY, administrative assistant to Chancellor Archie Dykes, said that Dykes had received no complaints from people in the law school, but that a few months ago, an undergraduate student had filed a complaint with his office.
After listening to reports by StudEx members, Steve Leben, student body president, said last night that he was pleased with what Student Senate committee had accomplished this year in reward to committee charges.
Watch the want ads in the Kansan
Teftt said he was pleased that the law school had decided to take the statue to the new building, but that its removal would leave a void in the middle of campus.
Leben and other StudEx members heard four committee reports last night on what had been accomplished this year and what still needed to be done.
Committee work pleases StudEx
Mike Harper, StudEx chairman, said that he also was pleased, but that he was concerned about what still needed to be accomplished.
Don Green, Senate Communications Committee chairman, reported that his committee had sponsored a Senate open house and Senate visitations to living groups and schools this semester. The committee also has taken two polls and formed the Concerned Students for Higher Education (CSHE), he said.
MIKE TARABOULOS, Senate Student Services Committee chairman, said his committee was working on legislation for a prepaid legal service.
A poll taken earlier this semester on the
service indicated that students would favor such a service.
Tarabaloo said he hoped the committee would begin writing legislation at its next meeting.
Mark Bernhardt, a member of the Senate Sports Committee, said that the committee had bad problems earlier in the semester because its chairman, Bert Nunley, was asked to resign because of a conflict of interest.
Bernhardt said that the Committee had been working on possible methods of funding women's athletics and had sponsored a student forum with Clyde Walker, KU athletic director, since Barney McCoy, the new committee chairman, had replaced
Robbie Robinson, chairman of the Senate Rights Right Committee, as reported to StudyHe.
