KU Day Care Center Under Investigation
An investigation of the Hilltop Day Care Center will be begun Wednesday by student senator Jon Jossenand, Johnson freshman, and teacher Tina Olsen from Kansas students receive from the center.
"We want to find out how many students are using the day care center," Josserand said. "If only a small number of students are using the center, then a re-evaluation of the financial allotment to the day care center may be considered."
The day care center, which offers day care service for children of students and children of faculty and staff employees, is in the Wesley Foundation building.
The Student Senate pays for the rental and utilities of the building, which houses not only the day care center but also other student organizations.
The day care center is funded by the student activity fee.
This year's rent on Wesley Hall will be $16,000. Josserand said.
The Hilltop Day Care Center occupies approximately two-thirds of the building and if the investigation finds that the day care center is not receiving adequate student use, a motion might be made in the senate that the Center pay the rent them.
selves in proportion to the amount of building space they use," he said.
Jossard said that although the center was watchwhile only adequate student use would be achieved, this was especially true in light of the tremendous potential the building offered to students.
Jossenand said that the investigation's primary purpose was to make sure that the student activity fee is representative of worthwhile student organizations.
Even though the student senate pays the rent and utilities for the building, day care center representatives do not have to apply to the financial auditing committee. Josseger J.
Complaints that people found it difficult to contact the day care center's director, Judy Bencivengo, also will be included in the investigation.
"I have received two complaints from persons saying that they could not contact the director," Jossen said. "I tried to reach her and had no luck. These complaints completely unsubstantiated, but I will look into them during the investigation."
Judy Bencivengo could not be reached for comment.
Fetus Compared to Acorn In Research Society Talk
By NANCY COOK
Kansan Staff Writer
A human fetus is comparable to an acorn, said Garrett Hardt, professor of human ecology at the University of California at Santa Barbara. in a lecture Thursday night.
In either the amashing of an acorn or the aboring of a fetus, "It's the replacement that we want."
" someone who smashes acorns is accused of defending the country," Hardin
Art, Music to Highlight Festival
Children's art, crafts, exhibits, painting demonstrations and a six hour musical concert will highlight the 12th annual Ballet performance between 12 and 6 p.m. Sunday in South Park.
The Lawrence Art Guild and the Lawrence Recreation Department are sponsoring the event. Its theme is Happiness is Art in the Park.
By MARILYN GIBSON Kansan Staff Writer
Mrs. Robert B. Brown, general chairman, said that more than 190 entries had been made. Featured exhibits on arts and crafts will include watercolors, oils, woodblock prints, sculptures, photographs of sculpture, jewelry, baltic, silver pieces, glass, needlepoint and quilling.
"Due to private donations' fifteen $10 certificates will be given," Brown said. "They are redeemable at the Kansas Union Bookstore."
Mayer Nancy Harbettlen will present the honors at 3:30 p.m. at the East Band Shell in New York City.
An awards fund was set up by Brown. She said that it was formed to encourage participation from junior high, high school and Haskell students.
A wider area of children's art is included this year, Brown said. An exhibit of elementary school art has been assembled, representing 16 schools in Lawrence. Some children, will be there to demonstrate techniques, Brown said.
The Kansas incorrectly reported yesterday that A. P. D'Ambra was known as Dutch. The story should have read A. P. "Duke" D'Ambra.
Since there had been an increased interest in crafts, Brown said that this area had been expanded. She said that a crafts mall in the west part of South Park would be arranged for a concentration of the demonstrations.
Correction
The six hour musical concert will include a variety of entertainment ranging from country western, chamber music, sacred music and brass bands. Brown said a number of musicians would perform all afternoon.
Programs will be sold for 25 cents. They will have time schedules of the musical performance.
"The map is a new idea this year," Brown said. "It is meant to be an aid to people so that they can locate any exhibit quickly and easily.
The map shows the overall layout of exhibits and craft demonstrations. All exhibitors, committees and persons contribute this year's event will be listed in the program.
But the Supreme Court specifically denied that the fetus was a person in the whole sense, Hardin said. He said that this decision rested on the view traditionally taken by courts.
A major thing which leads to disagreement on abortion, Hardin said, is that people see two entities involved in an abortion: the woman and the fetus. If the interests of both entities are seen as equal, then abortion presents a dilemma.
Punch, cookies and ice cream will be given and balloons will be given to children.
Several University of Kansas professors and students have entered the festival. Brown said that there would be a weaving exhibit from the textile design department which would consist of various types of weaving being done currently by students in the department.
"I hope that there is more emphasis on the festival at KU next year," Brown said. "We will have to start our publicity earlier in order to increase participation."
The Art in the Park show began 12 years ago. It was a two-day event in the Community Building, and about 1,800 persons attended. They viewed 300 works of art.
Hardin compared the human fetus to an acorn and to an architectural blueprint to illustrate the view that the fetus was not fully human.
One aspect of abortion which the Supreme Court did not mention, Hardin is, that men pass laws on abortions and women carry out the abortions.
A problem which has developed in the last 200 years, Hardin said, is that male and female subcultures have started growing together.
In the seventeenth century, men physicians began taking over functions, including abortion, that traditionally belonged to the midwife. Since men knew what was going on in the womb they had read in theology, Hardin said, they disliked the idea of doing abortions.
The result, he said, was the "oppression of the subculture that has knowledge of white people" (Hill).
But with the Supreme Court's ruling that a woman may have an abortion by personal choice, the United States is in a position to return to the old tradition of leaving the question of abortion to the mother, Hardin said.
