Arts Department Scattered
By ELAINE ZIMMERMAN Kansan Staff Writer
The department of visual arts spans the entire University of Kansas campus. Offices are in Marvin Annex, and classes meet in Strong Hall, Gread Hall, Farmley Farm, Memorial Stadium and other out-of-the-way places.
University officials have recognized the problems of decentralization, and a new system for managing operations is being developed.
Design, painting and sculpture, are the three principal subdivisions of visual arts, said John McKay, associate dean of visual arts. Included within design are communications graphic design, illustration, ceramic textiles, jewelry and silver-smithing.
MCKAY SAID there were three special programs in which students could obtain degrees through either the School of Fine Arts, the College of Liberal Arts or the School of Education. Art history degrees are taught in both the School and the College. The difference between a bachelor of fine arts and a bachelor of arts degree (B.A.) in art history, is that said to B.F.A. requires studio courses and a B.A. does not. Degrees in theater design also may be earned from both the School of Fine Arts and the College. Art education majors in the School of Fine Arts and transfer into the School of Education as juniors, he said.
THE DEPARTMENT of visual arts uses 12 different buildings, McKay said. They include the Bailey Annex, Mechanical Engineering, Memorial Stadium, Chamney Farm, Chamney House, Marvin Annex, Oread Hall and Hall on a building on 14th Street.
McKay said that the main disadvantage of decentralization was that students were unable to learn from each other by being in touch with peers, teachers and students from the knowledge of advanced students.
He said members of the faculty saw each other only during scheduled meetings. This
precludes any informal discussion of classics by hindrance in improving methods, by reducing the
MOST OF THE VISUAL ARTS classes meet in leftover space that is unsuited for the activities students try to do, McKay said. The buildings are not designed for visual arts, and the cost of maintaining them is high because of their ages.
Mkay said that the lack of space had made it necessary to limit the number of students enrolling in beginning art classes, and that students not majoring in art were unable to take courses. Enrollment is not required for junior and senior classes, he said.
He said many of the buildings used by the visual arts department were already overcrowded, and that a new visual arts center would alleviate the hardships on other schools and departments within the University.
THE DISTANCE between classes is not a big problem for art studio classes because it is not necessary for students to be on time, he said, but many students do have difficulty being on time for lectures immediately after a studio class.
McKay said the dull surroundings had a demoralizing effect on faculty members. He added, however, that low salaries were a more important factor in hiring and training faculty members. Wages are generally low, he said, and visual arts "are at the bottom of the heap."
Students agree that facilities are less than adequate.
Marcia Orlowski, Kansas City, Kan., senior and design major, said Strong Hall had dull surroundings that did little to inspire design. There are no facilities for students often would rather work outside the classroom, she said.
"IT'S NOT REALLY walking all over to classes that I mind, but it's the lack of facilities and the uninspiring places we have classes," Orloski said.

Besides discussing Kissinger's trip, his own meeting with Thieu and his hopes for a permanent peace, Nixon said he had received every assurance that China would release two American flies held since their planes were shot down in the mid-1960s.

"Said he would not personally welcome U.S. prisoners of war back to American soil because the POWS deserved privacy and a rapid return to their families and "we should not grandstand it; we should not exploit it."":
Kleth Lawton, director of planning and facilities, said that "programming" for a new visual arts center was under way. Programming consists of determining the requirement to a facility must have. After the requirement is met, he will draw up plans for the building, he said.

The best site for the center, Lawton said, is the location of the present Mechanical Engineering Building. It has not been determined whether the mechanical engineering building will be converted for visual arts or raced and a new building in its place. He said Fowler Schools definitely would be used as part of the center.
"Occupational therapy isn't as diverse as other departments as far as going across campus goes," she said. "But for them, we're up there like the rest of them."

He said that the University had requested funds for the Learned addition from the current legislature, and that construction begin this summer if the request was granted.
Nixon said Kissinger, who negotiated the Vietnam peace accord, would discuss with top North Vietnamese leaders "the current status of compliance with the peace agreement" and the "matter of reconstruction program for all of Indochina."
Tom Powell, Kansas City, Kan., junior and chairman of the Transportation Committee, reported that the Campus Bus system cost the Senate $19,800 during the period. There were 352,000 riders during the period, which included orientation and finals.
Nixon would not put a price tag on the Indochina reconstruction program, saying he had to consult with congressional leaders first. But earlier reports focused on a figure of $7.5 billion with one-third of that amount going to North Vietnam.

Planning for the visual arts center is continuing. Lawton said a request for planning funds was made to the Legislature, but was denied. The dental has been awarded an emergency fund for actual construction of the center will be sought from the 1974 Legislature.
The Transportation Committee will attempt to get the apartment complexes and downtown merchants who benefit from Senate-funded off-campus bus service to absorb the losses on their routes next year, Powell said.

On-campus service will continue to operate, even at a loss, Powell said, because the system is down.

Huskey, whose salary will be $700 a
month, was hired upon the recommendation
of his manager.
"I had been impressed with him (Huskey) when I had run into him before," Berkowitz said Tuesday. "He seemed to be a very nice man." We had a talk and I offered the job. "I him."

Huskey said funding for the new position was established by the Douglas County Commission in the commission's 1973 budget.
"Sometimes the sheriff's office of the police department doesn't have a lot of time to devote to a case, and that's when I'll come in," Huskey said.
Huske emphasized that his responsibilities would be generalized.
"Whatever I can come up with—allthough I like to work on drugs, particularly hard drugs, such as heroin, cocaine, opium, and so forth," he said.
"I know that some dropouts are pushing drugs to junior high kids, though, so I'll be doing some investigative work on that," Huskey said.

Just how honest have we been with our speed reading claims?
There have been a lot of popular myths flying around about speed reading courses.
Especially ours.
Which is only natural when you consider the fact that Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics Institutes teach more people how to speed read each year than all the other speed reading courses combined.
So we analyzed all of our national student data by computer to intercept the effects of our course. And to tell us who's benefited.
We think it's about time for you to read the facts about our claims.
No matter what speed you read them
CLAIM: Our course is easy to learn
FACT. There's no note taking. No memorizing required. Students range in age from 11 to 84. The majority of them were no better at memorizing than others.
By investing the normal amount of time (class and practice), 80% achieve the minimum promised goal at least a 3-iodo
CLAIM: If you do not at least triple your reading efficiency after having correctly taken the course, you will refund your entire tuition.
FACT: 1.6% do not. And they receive a full tuition refund. In accord- dance with national policy.
CLAIM: While we guarantee that your reading efficiency will at least triple, our average graduate achieves a higher rate of improvement.
FACT. Our average graduate reads 4.7 times faster than he did when he beaten the course.

New Classes Begin Next Week
FACT: The national average is a 3% increase in comprehension. Most people have a comprehension rate of over 70% to begin with.
CLAIM: Not only does reading speed improve, but comprehension increases too.
CLAIM: The average Elevin Wood Reading Dynamics graduate reads in excess of 1,000 words per minute.
FACT: Measured in terms of reading speed, the average graduate reads 1,500 words per minute.
CLAIM: You'll be able to significantly reduce the amount of time it takes you to do the same amount of reading you now do.
FACT: 50% is the average reduction in study time. One hour is the average reading time per novel. 35 minutes is the average reading time for a news magazine. And technical reading time is 68%.
CLAIM: You don't have to be a student to benefit from the course.
FACIT: While students comprise 45.1% of all class enrollment, the majority of class contents are non-funded. For example, students in the engineering department (dosse) and engineers, 7.2% are educators (deans, superintendents, principals, and teachers), 34.4% are executives, stockbrokers, analysts, and managers.
We could go on and on. Claim after claim. Fact after fact.
So here's one more claim for you to think about:
If you attend one of our free, introductory speed reading lessons, we will increase your speed on the spot. It takes one hour of your time to check out the facts about the Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics course.
