KU art museum magazine wins award for excellence
For the first time in its 22-year history, a publication of the University of Kansas art museum has won an award for excellence in design and execution.
The Western Association of Art Museums recently selected the publication, Register, from among more than 300 entries from Western States.
Register reports on the Helen Forsman Spencer Museum of Art's acquisitions and activities, according to Ruth Lawner, publications editor and designer of Spencer.
The fall issue of Register won the merit
of the 111 pages and about 600 photographs
and about 250 photographs.
Lawyer has worked for the magazine for nine years, but this year is the first time Register was entered in the competition, she said yesterday.
LAWNER SAID she designed all issues of the magazine to be presented at the Museum. The magazine is gifted by the Lawyers Club.
Coed honor society planned for juniors
According to Lawner, KU Printing Services can achieve high quality in the magazine industry.
Despite Lawner's confessed pride in the magazine, she said she was surprised it won. "It's a real shame," she
"We compete with publications that are printed on the West Coast, which have access to some of the better printers in the city," she said. "We are not restricted in their budgets." she said.
Lawyer said Register was sent to prominent museums and libraries

Plans now being made for a junior coed honor society will give junior women a chance, before given only to junior men, to be recognized for achievement, scholarship
Katie Rhoads, coordinator of the junior coed honor society task force, said yesterday the plans for the society would be presented at a task force December 1.
"We have received letters of congratulations from people like the curator of our museum."
"We are drawing a model of what we want the group to be," Rhoads said.
One of Riadsha's main goals in forming a junior one of condolence society is to provide a
"There is a definite lack of recognition for women on the junior level." Rboads said. "We are concerned there is nowhere for a junior woman to go."
Rhoads said another reason for a junior honor society was that many men in Lambda Sigma, a sophomore coed honor society, told Rhoads that if they were going to join an honor society their junior year they would like to join a coed society.
Owl Society, a junior men's honor society,
voted to retain male status and give up
University affiliation rather than be
recalled by Title IX.
Rhodes said that some honor societies functioned only as social groups, but that most were service organizations. Membership qualifications vary from society to society, but they are usually based on an award in the scholarship and involvement in activities.
RHOADS SAID THAT another reason a junior honor society should be coed was that Title IX, federal legislation under the jurisdiction of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, prohibits sex education in federally funded institutions.
Rhoads said the key difference between the junior honor society and other societies is the degree of commitment.
We want to seek out people who don't
"WE WANT TO try to open it up to looking at people in groups like Headquarters—a crisis intervention service. There are people who work at Headquarters 40 or 50 hours a week, but who don't feel qualified to join or not traditionally apply."
normally apply," Rhoads said. "People who have applied in the past have usually been involved in the traditional activities such as the student government and SUA.
Rioads said the task force plans to accept applications in early March and have the final decision made by March 19.
Before individuals can apply, the society has to be recognized either locally—by the University administration—or on the national level.
To be recognized on the national level the society would have to fit already existing rules of a national group. Rhodes said. She is an avid reader of national groups but that none appealed to her.
"I feel the only way to accommodate a junior honor society here is to be recognized on the local level," Rhaads said. "We may affiliate ourselves nationally later. If a national group fits in with our group then okay."
Ribads said the task force is planning to accept from 30 to 40 members.
