Arts Center plans mural contest

Anyone who has walked the streets of Los Angeles knows what a difference a little paint and creativity can make in giving an artist the kind of joy wood some pizza and an identity of its own.
Los Angeles, like an increasing number of American cities, is beckoned with murals that grace alley walls, fences and storefronts.
The Lawrence Arts Center would like to see art go public here too, starting with the municipal baseball stadium in Hobbs Park.
Hobbs, at 11th and Delaware streets, is one of a number of city parks that the Parks and Recreation Department is landscaping and linkine with hike trails.
AS PART OF its master park plan, the
department had intended to paint the back of the bleachers in the stadium.
BUT ROBIN Ashook, special projects coordinator at the Arte Center, decided that painting could serve a number of functions besides cover an unusual wall.
It could produce a landmark, give East Lawrence a conversation piece and involve the community in creating something of its own.
There are certain philosophies about art," Ashook said. "One of them is that it becomes public property, that people identify with it.
"One strength in a mural is that it becomes a project. It gives people in the community a chance to see what happens, to feel the difference out of the building and into the community."
ASHOK SAID the mural project
of the Burr Ridge Firefighters
the weather cooled. It would be organized by a committee of representatives from Parks and Recreation, the East Lawrence Im-
pression Department, and the City of Burr Ridge.
THE COMMITTEE WOULD sponsor a company in the competition, open anyway to anyone interested in the mural. The winning artist would be responsible for transposing his design to the mural.
But that would be the last solitary step in the project, Ashook said. The community would then be mobilized to join in, bringing the marshal to life through color.
Ashook said she had confidence in the concept and feasibility of large-scale cooperative activity.
VOLUNTEERS WOULD be solicited to direct the project's details, such as telling painters where to paint and ladder-movers where to go next.
Community involvement in all phases of the project would make the Hobbs Park mural differ from most others, she said.
HE SAIED Dodge City had a mural on a bank building and Nebraska had a system of murals along major highways. But those projects were conceived and carried out by
THE FACT that Lawrence stresses community involvement and neighborhood associations makes a mural done by local residents extremely timely, Ashook said.
There are no restrictions on the mural's theme.
Custodian union threatens strike
"I think the theme should have something to do with the Midwest, but I don't think it be to Host Lawrence or even especially Lawrencian," she said.

The University of Kansas Medical Center costumbated an on-site strike if American forces were in support of the housekeeping department after its contract expires, according to Mike McCready, a spokesman.
"The people are looking forward to AMS leaving. People could be in the street striking if they (AMS) stay on after April 26." Wyndotte County Legislative committee.
Roder Oroke, University director of support services, said the housekeeping

contract with AMS would not be renewed, but that AMS would be phased out over a seven or eight month period. This phasing would be completed by Jan. 1, 1881, he said.
THE CUSTODIANS are dissatisfied with AMS because of alleged harassment and want a date when it will be seversed from the Med Center, McCready said.
A second issue the union is concerned with is bi-weekly pay, he said. The union had been told that bi-weekly pay could have been started June 1, 1978.
Since that time the issue has been delayed and has yet to be accomplished, McCready said.
