Kleinberg began potting eight years ago in art classes at the University of Kansas. She built her own klin at home and does all her work there.

"In potting, as long as you keep your clay wet you can wash your mind," she said. "I've never been able to paint because I change my mind so much that the paint becomes mixed and everything turns gray."
A numberless making pottery because it allows her to continually change her ideas about what she wants.
Her pottery has been shown at the Lawrence Public Library and at the Mulvane Gallery at Washburn University in Topela. One piece is being shown in this year's American Crafts Council traveling exhibit.
Kleinberg prefers hand-building her nottery to a potter's wheel.
"The wheel stunts your creativity in a way. It's a tool that makes only a symmetrical pot," she said. "Hand-built pots are free forms.
Family Courts Discussed
The concept of placing all family problems under the jurisdiction of one court is under discussion again by the Lawrence League of Women Voters (LMV).
The concept of family courts hinges on one fact—the split jurisdiction in Kansas
According to a League of Women Voters publication, "Study of Family Courts," the Juvenile Court has jurisdiction over all matters pertaining to juveniles.
THE DISTRICT COURT has jurisdiction over criminal and civil cases. These include divorce, child custody, separate maintenance, pay arrangements and paternity procedures.
*You can get marvelous textures in hand-painted pieces with your fingers, twigs, nuts, and shells.*
She said she liked pottery that was functional as well as creative. She made a set of
The basic theme of proponents of family courts is expressed in the LWV study: "IIF
The potter was Jane Kleinberg, a Lawrence craftsmans (who prefers being called a "craftswoman") and she is artist-in-residence this week, and was last week. She is teaching a workshop in the pottery room on the first floor of Hushaker.
The Probate Court handles adoption, commitment of the mentally ill, wills and
decisions.
The vase was leaning. It was 20 inches tall, gray clay, with a textured patchwork design. For the time being she ignored the pain of her fingers to seal a lip of red clay to the top.
Proponents of this court restructuring any nuisances in trouble could be better helped to know what is at stake.
Hashinger's Potter Hardly a Bust
By JAN HYATT Kansan Staff Reporter
Persons favoring the present court system usually agree that more court services, beyond the courts' legal jurisdictions, would be advisable. However, they disagree with the professed need to restructure the courts.
Advocates of a new court unification program would unify the district courts' jurisdictions, attempting to simplify the process and eliminate overlaps in jurisdictions.

Kleinberg frequently interrupted her work to advise the four students present on ways to mix the clays and how to better use their hands.
"I want these students to improvise and make something no one else has made."
Though she doesn't regularly teach pottery classes, she said that if she did she

Soon the small room was crowded with novice potters, and John Flokten, St. Louis sophomore, was hauling in more brown clav.
"They don't let themselves get clutched at nothing." she said.
Some students used clay they had dug that afternoon from the creek bed near the riverbank.
One student tried to throw a pot at the wheel for the first time. Kleimberg showed
him how to hold a spoon in one hand and
write the water from it to keep the clay wet.
"It takes steadiness rather than strength to throw at the wheel," she said.
Men are usually better than women when they are learning because they can hold the phone.
The workshop, funded by Hashinger Hall and the Pearson trust fund, will run through tomorrow from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Use the workshop at hours convenient to them.
As the potters began to put the clay and tools away and head for dinner in the Hashinger caterina, Kleinberg put the pots on the vase, which was no longer leaking.

Sue Humes of 2235 East Drive, chairman of the family court study committee of the Lawrence LWV, said yesterday the LWV has no stand concerning family courts.
"We are just looking at the advantages and disadvantages of the system," she said. "Perhaps when the study is complete next year the League will have some conor Stop By the SUA Office in the Kansas Union
