Deli Brings Home Eastern Twang
By EMILY BRELAND Kansan Staff Writer
If the east coast and delicatessens can be thought of synonymously, then Bob Schumm, owner of the Massachusetts Street Delicatessen, has successfully managed to bring a bit of the East to the Midwest.
The 'deli,' 941 Massachusetts St., officially opened in October 1972, after Schumann responded to what he considered a need for high quality food in the downtown area."
Schumm, a 1968 University of Kansas journalism graduate, suggested that the citizens of Lawrence were in need of an establishment to widen variety of was able than was available.
"I think Lawrence has fantastic potential," he said.
Schumm, 28, began in the food business when he opened a delicatessen in Kelly's Bar in the Westport area of Kansas City, Mo., which he later sold.
The Massachusetts Street Delicatessen was planned and designed by Schumann, Bob Lichtenberg.
No Political Contrarieties Between KU Chinese Clubs
Although there are two separate clubs for Chinese students at the University of Kansas, their members contend that there are no political differences between the
Keith Chui, Hong college student and president of the Chinese Students Association said that his club was not political in its views.
"Some of the members are revolutionary and some are conservative, but we are all associated with revolution."
According to Chui, the purpose of the Chinese Students Association is to plan activities for its members and help them with living and transportation problems.
Most of the 40 members of the Formosa Club are from Formosa, but according to Yun Kung Huang, Taipei Republic of China, graduate student and president of the Formosa University was not formed to politically separate Formosans from other Chinese students.
According to Huang, some members of the Chinese Students Association are also involved in teaching.
The club was founded about 10 years ago, he said, to provide fellowship for Formosan students who share the same language and customs.
Neither the Chinese Students Association nor the Formosa Club receives funding from China.
Powwow Planned
a 1971 KU journalism graduate, said it took
the university to find and purchase the
right location for the job.
The Lawrence Indian Club and the Lawrence Indiana Center have scheduled their first powow for 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Lawrence Community Building, 115 W.
Schumm, Hudspeth and several other persons renovated the interior of the building housing the deli by working from June until October.
The powwow is one of a series of monthly events scheduled by the Lawrence Indians and will be open to the public. There is no admission charge.
Schurman said the delicatessen had 28 full-time or part-time employees 75 per cent of the workforce.
Alleged Defects Cited In Moore Construction
By CAROLYN OLSON Kansan Staff Writer
Williams, an editorial assistant in the geology department, said light switches and fire alarm switches in Moore Hall were above the normal reach of persons in wheelchairs. He said the rest room door opened automatically into and once a person in a wheelchair got into a stall he was trapped, unless another person would help him get out.
"The remaining 25 per cent are individuals who either have dropped out for a semester to earn more money or who are in school that they want to do in school." Schumann said.
Williams said that an entrance ramp was constructed for Moore Hall, but that the entrance ramp needed to be Geologic Survey is inaccessible to persons in wheelchairs because there were no ramp steps.
The chairman of the Committee for the Architecturally Handicapped said Thursday night that he had found facilities in the building where his patient was present for persons with physical disabilities.
The Committee for the Architecturally Handicapped requested last month that a checklist of standards for the removal of physical barriers be set up.
"Supposedly the state architect has checked the architectural barriers at Moore Hall," Williams said. "But he has failed miserably, because specified state stans were not allowed to make Moore Hall accessible to persons who are physically disabled."
Roger Williams, the chairman, made his remarks at a meeting of the committee attended by about 25 persons in the Kansas Union.
Robert Harris, teaching assistant in psychology, and chairman of the subcommittee on standards, presented the checklist Thursday night.
"It should take about three to four days to train the students in measuring the gradient of ramps and the pressure needed to open doors," Harris said. "I hope to complete the survey of University buildings by our next meeting in mid-March."
The standards suggested by the subcommittee will be applied in a survey of University buildings by a group of 10 occupational therapy students, under the guidance of Barbara Rider, assistant professor of occupational therapy.
The list of standards for removal of physical barriers was taken from guidelines provided by the American Institutes for architectural services, and the booklets, "Design Standards for the Physically Handicapped" and "Making Colleges and Schools Accessible to Handicapped Students," Harris said.
According to Hudspeth, who has managed michelessin since it opened, a variety of restaurants have been.
The students will be trained in conducting the survey by Harris, Don Whipple, director of architectural services, and a member of the standards subcommittee.
"There are a lot of businessmen and women, shoppers and students who eat here," he said. "Generally, the students come in the afternoon or evening. Lawrence has needed a place like this for years in its own right. But I am glad I am glad she has finally done it."
Williams said one of the biggest problems for the Committee for Architecturally Handicapped would be in getting funds to remove the physical barriers.
The delicatessen was described by Schumar as "a unique and colorful place to get specialty foods." The menu includes sandwiches, cheeses, meats, salads, sausages and breads, soft drinks, iced tea, coffee and beer.
"I have written to the Department of Social Welfare in Topeka, and I have also inquired into receiving funds from the University Budget or a federal grant."
"We don't expect every restroom on every floor of every building to be accessible to persons disabled—but some should be accessible."
"One of the major problems at KU is in the inaccessibility of persons with physical disabilities."
"We are still working to expand our menu and improve the design of the delicatessen to create a better atmosphere by using pictures and antiques," Schumm said.
Schumm also owns the Bull and Boar restaurant in Lawrence.
A theory that abberant brain molecules may cause schizophrenia is the basis of research currently being conducted by the University of Kansas professor of chemistry.
Prof Studies Schizophrenia
By JOHN PIKE
Kansan Staff Writer
Adams said his research was primarily directed toward finding out it the human brain can manufacture the compound 6-hydroxydopamine, (6-OHDA), a substance which blunts nerve endings wherever it is present.
Because 6-OHDA deadens nerve endings, Adams said, its presence in the part of the brain responsible for self-stimulation is one of the factors that complex behaviors related to schizophrenia.
One definition of schizophrenia, he said, is the apparent lack of access to goal-directed therapy.
Adams is an organic electrochemist who became interested in applying his skills to brain chemistry several years ago. While on a sabbatical he took background courses in electrical engineering at Irvine. At that time, he decided to shift the focus of his research to brain chemistry.
Adams said that he was part of a group of organic electrochemists across the nation who have been trying to integrate their skills in available behavioral science information.
"We're trying to bridge some experiments in behavioral staff with the hard-core chemistry that we know something about," he said.
Adams said that about two years ago two researchers proposed the theory of 6-OHDA in the brain of schizophrenics. He has been doing research on that theory since.
Adams explained the effects of 6-OHDA on test rats. The results of tests on rats with electrolyte disturbance were
The electrodes were implanted in the pleasure centers of the animals' brains and the animals were taught to push a button to stimulate those areas of the brain. The animals learn to achieve stimulation by pressing the button.
Adams said that after this goal-oriented behavior had been established, a small amount of 6-OHDA injected into the pleasure center of the brain blunted the nerve endings and slowed the animal no longer brained the brain and the animal ceased efforts to achieve stimulation.
Since the lack of goal-oriented behavior is a primary sign of schizophrenia, Adams said, the theory of the brain producing molecules of 6-OHDA arose.
"It's a very audacious theory." Adams said, "and yet it has a lot of very satisfying things to it because all previous biochemical theories have requested that there be present in the brain a specific binocular molecular system. (ADS) These have fallen by the wayside, and in a sense they've all been too specific."
The specific objective of Adams' research is to determine if the brain is capable of

History Prof Honored
'Tango'Recommended For National Honors
The University of Kansas Theatre production of "Tango" has been recommended for participation in the American College Theatre Festival because of its performance at the Central Regional Festival last week in De Moines.
Three faculty and student members of the trope received honors. Jed Davis, director of University Theatre, received awards of excellence from American Oil Co., one of the sponsors of the festival. Davis recently retired as president of the American Theatre Association and received the award his outstanding service during the last year.
Trom Rae, assistant director of University Theatre, said judges selected "Tango" and two productions from other universities as the best of five productions performed in the regional festival. Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and Iowa are in the region.
An award for excellence in acting was given to Virginia Kent, Lawrence graduate
An award for excellence in costume design and in property design was given to Bill Evans, assistant instructor in speech and drama.
An American Theatre Association Central Committee will select the final 10 productions from judges' recommendations from the 13 festival regions in the United States, Rae said. The 10 productions then will be presented by a representative in Washington, D.C., April 23 to May 6. The central committee will meet Feb. 23-24 to make the selection.
"tango" was written by Slawomir Mrozek, a Czechoslovakian playwright and was performed here by the University Theatre last November.

manufacturing 6-OHDA. The compound can be manufactured electrochemically in the laboratory, and tests are now under way to evaluate its performance. The compound can be produced naturally.
"The real merit of all these biochemical approaches to schizophrenia is that one hopes the kind of chemistry one does, even in disproving a theory, may well be of benefit in terms of clinical treatment of patients." said Adams.

Adams said the two researchers who originally proposed the theory have detected unusual enzyme changes in brain specimens of human schizophrenics after autopsy, but the difficulty of obtaining such specimens has left the findings inclusive.
He said about six different theories on schizophrenia have now been discarded, but the one that has survived is the one.
One of the important results of the research, he said, has been an increased knowledge of schizophrenia and ways of dealing with it.
The development of 6-OHDA as has a suspected cause of the disease has also given pharmacologists a new drug to use in order that, where the effects it produces are desired.
their understanding of the disease and their treatment of patients.
The research is receiving general funding from the National Science Foundation and the US Department of Agriculture.
Adams said a recent article in Science magazine had cast doubts on the ability of researchers to understand what they were trying to find.
The article documented an experiment by a psychiatrist in which eight sane individuals were given shiizophrenics and sent to different, supposedly leading mental health institutions. The eight were admitted after being shiizophrenics by the staffs of the institutions.
Adams said the other mental patients around the phonies were the only people who realized that the eight were not mentally ill.
Once admitted, the eight phonies begin to behave just as they had in normal life, even to the point of taking notes on their surroundings.
"I may well be," he said, "that all this laboratory work we're doing is all for naught simply because people don't really know what a mentally ill patient is."
