Spooner to show Riedl's tapestries
Spooner Museum of Art will celebrate the opening of its first exhibit this year with the annual Fall Open House, 2:30-4:30 Sunday, Oct. 8.
Tapestries by Fritz Riedl, a contemporary Austrian weaver and designer who has won international honors, will be on display Oct. 8-22.
Since 1951, Riedl's tapestries have been displayed in many European cities, as well as in Boston, Chicago and New York.
Taught himself
Riedl taught himself to weave in 1948 after completing his studies at Vienna's Academy of Fine Arts.
His early work was dominated by his training as a painter, but he gradually adapted to the medium of the loom.
Sixteen of his colorful wool tapestries will be displayed in the museum.
Riedl creates his own surface by weaving the yarn himself, making the act of weaving the predominate part of the creative process. He continually improvises on the original sketches.
Besides the big open house each fall for the first art exhibition, the museum has informal openings for all major shows during the year.
"We want as many students as
possible to come," said Bret Waller, director of the museum. "We are more concerned with the quality of our exhibitions rather than their popular appeal."
A collection of Japanese paintings will be displayed for the first time starting Oct. 27.
Clocks and watches from three centuries in Europe, belonging to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, will be on display starting Dec. 3.
Irish architectural drawings from the Irish Georgian Society will be shown starting March 31.
In February, woodcuts from two periods in history, 1425-1550 and 1800-1914, will comprise the exhibit.
Albert Newbill, visiting professor of drawing and painting at KU, will display his recent works in March.
The last exhibit will be a collection of modern paintings by Ward Lockwood, the first artist
to be a Rose Morgan visiting professor at KU.
The Museum of Art is open from 9 to 4:45 weekdays, and 1:30 to 4:45 p.m. Sunday.
Only 55 enrolled on Hill in 1866
Fifty-five students enrolled at KU in 1866. The three faculty members, feeling that the students were not ready for college-level work, offered a curriculum consisting of the "three R's" and some Latin at the "academy" level.
This fall KU has an enrollment of 16,794 on two campuses. Students at Lawrence chose from 1,882 courses in 94 subject-matter areas offered by 60 schools and departments. At the KU Medical Center in Kansas City 130 courses were offered in 15 departments.

Under the program, a student would serve as an intern to an administrator, faculty member, or dean. The student would act with an official in solving issues which involve students or are of the students' concern.
Another indirect approach is the KU speakers program—sponsored by student government. National politicians will be invited to KU to speak to the students under the slogan "campaign '68." Other speakers for forums and informal discussion groups also will be invited.
"The internship would not mean busy-work," Craig has said, but he has pointed out that student-faculty cooperation in the program would help bring the administration closer to the students.
that occupied Lashbrook's time. Two weeks after his arrival in Bogota, he met Patricia Darnelt Rueda, a bilingual secretary at the American Embassy. Two months later they became engaged. They are to be married in Bogota Nov. 24.
If the student attends and participates in these programs, Craig has said, the student would—in effect—be indirectly participating in student government.
Politics no prerequisite
The direct approach, Craig believes, would be a strong point. More student participation on ASC committees, he says, will bring the student into direct contact with the organization. Political background is not a prerequisite for participation on ASC committees, Craig noted—"We actually need more 'down-to-earth' people working in student government."

Student ticket exchange to be conducted Saturday
Windy & Marian—11 a.m.-12 p.m.-VI 2-9448—1904 Mass.
A free KU student football ticket exchange will be conducted Saturday from 8 to 11 a.m. at the athletic ticket office in Allen Field House.
In order to complete the exchange, a student must bring his KU-ID and the tickets to be exchanged to the ticket office. A student also may exchange tickets with another student by bringing both tickets and ID's.
Student tickets are transferable only to students, and cannot be transferred or sold to adults or individuals from another school, according to rules printed on the back of the tickets.
Violators of this code, set up
by the All-Student Council seating bill, will have their student tickets taken away, and their student ID will be turned over to the dean of men or women.
This system has been set up to protect KU students from having their section filled with students from other universities.
Students must sit in the assigned seats or in seats assigned by the transfer, according to Monte Johnson, assistant athletic director.
All tickets must be signed to be valid. Admission will be accepted only with a student ticket and KU-ID card.
