Fine Arts names finalists
By Chris Hopkins chopkins@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The KU School of Fine Arts has narrowed down its list of dean candidates to a final four.
Stephen Anderson, professor of music and dance, Judith Thorpe, associate dean of the graduate program at the Tyler School of Art at Temple University, Randall Pembrook, a faculty member at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, and William Bucker, dean of fine arts at the University of Minnesota at Duluth, are the final candidates.
Current dean Peter Thompson said he would continue working at the University of Kansas teaching a drawing class in Spring 2000 after ending his tenure as dean at the end of this semester.
John Gaunt, dean of the school of architecture and head of the search committee, said there was
no clear front runner at this point.
"Each of them looks very good in terms of their credentials," he said.
Thorpe was interviewed last week by the selection committee, and Pembrook arrived on campus yesterday and will leave tomorrow.
Bucker also will interview this week and Anderson will interview in early May.
Pembrook said he had done everything he could to be prepared and said he would love to work at the University.
"KU just has a wonderful reputation in this part of the country," he said.
Pembrook said he did not have any set agenda if he gets the job other than improving the school's financial situation.
He said he would decide on an
agenda after speaking with the faculty.
"I think it needs to be a collaborative process." Pembrok said.
Anderson, who has worked at the University for 22 years, said he would put a forward spin on his administration.
"There are challenges in knowing exactly how we meet the future." he said.
Problems with funding, space, and faculty will have to be faced in the coming years, Anderson said.
The fine arts position is one of three dean positions in transition.
Pembrook, Bucker and Anderson all will have public question-and-answer sessions in Murphy Hall's Swarthout Recital Hall. Pembrook appears today, Bucker will appear tomorrow, and Anderson will appear on May 3.
The School of Law also is looking for a new dean, and a search committee has four finalists for the Dean of Libraries.
The candidates for the Dean of Libraries each will give a presentation in the next two weeks.

Starsky to open Day on the Hill
Continued from page 1A
at Day on the Hill, an event much bigger than the average night in a small-town coffee house in Kansas — a venue all too familiar to his band.
Before the votes were calculated, Bush was not hoping for much.
"I don't expect that we'll do too well," he said.
And although he was not perfectly pleased with the band's performance, the experience at Farmer's Ball was too-notch, he said.
"I've had more fun doing this in the last three days than I have ever had in my life," he said. "Nobody ever has heard of us before. Now our manager is telling me we've got some gigs lined up."
Grant Potential, Omaha, Neb., sophomore, plays guitar and sings in the Electron Volts and listened to the announcements backstage alone. Potential, who can shake his body and bang his head with the best of them, reacted in a typical mild-mannered way to the news that his band was a one of the two runners-up.
"I'm a pretty shy guy, but I love to play because it's great to get up there and start jumping around," he said. "This has been so much fun having people yell at us. but I wasn't really expecting to win."
Hanson said this was the first time Coach Mack had really emerged from its moldy basement. For the competition the band whipped up eight songs out of about 50 riffs it already had written.

As for the competition, Hanson did not think it came down to how many friends showed up to vote.
"I think it's fair," he said with a smile. "But it'd be more fair if nobody had friends."

KU student busted with fake license after losing wallet

A bad day is losing your wallet. A rotten day is losing your wallet, having it turned in to the police and having them find a fake driver's license inside.
This is what happen to one KU student, whose wallet was found by Potter Lake and turned in to the KU Public Safety Office on Tuesday, said Lt. Schuwil Bailey.
"While inventorying the contents of the wallet to find an owner, a falsely-manufactured driver's license was discovered," Bailey said.
Further investigation revealed that another student also was in possession of a fake driver's license. Police are investigating a third suspect who is thought to be responsible for manufacturing both of the false driver's licenses.
Both students were issued tickets and will be required to appear in court to face charges of unlawful use of a driver's license.
But if a wallet is lost, can a person really be said to be in possession of its contents?
"The short answer is yes, it does count as possession," said Cathleen Abell, assistant city prosecutor. "But it depends on circumstances of the case."
She said an important factor in prosecuting the case would be determining whether police had a valid reason for searching the wallet.
"And it would depend on whether the person was actually responsible for putting it there," she said.
"It had her picture on it and
FAKE ID'S
The following are class B nonper son misdemeanors that carry a sentence of not less than 100 hours of public service and a fine of between $200 and $500:
Lending a driver's license to a person under the legal age for the purpose of consuming or buying alcohol.
Aiding another person in wrongly obtaining a driver's license or replacement driver's license.
Displaying or possessing any fictitious or fraudulently altered driver's license by any person under 21 years of age in order to purchase alcohol.
Possessing any fictitious or fraudulently altered driver's license is a class B nonperson misdemeanor, even if it is not being used to purchase alcohols.
Manufacturing, selling or offering for sale any identification document that bears a fictitious name or other false information is a severity level 10, nonperson felony.
her personal identification, with the exception of an incorrect date of birth," he said.
One student told police she paid $35 for the fake driver's license and the other student said she paid $100. Bailey said the investigation would continue to determine who the third party was that manufactured the false identification.
Sgt. George Wheeler of the Lawrence Police Department said it was not unheard of for police to charge people in connection with lost property.
"We'll see if there is a law on books that applies," he said.
"From time to time, we'll get guns that people turn in as found property. We've also gotten dope and paraphernalia such as bongs."
