Olaf Soward (left) and Peter Dart Act in a Film About Kansas
Prof Turns Dentist in Kansas Flick
The film, "Kansas: Circa '90," was produced by KTWU, channel 10, Topka, and the State Historical Society as a program about the state's history.
A film written and directed by Jeff Pierce, Lawrence graduate student, could place the University of Kansas radio-TV-film department near the top of such departments in the country, said Peter Dart, professor of journalism.
Dart suggested that by triping the film's budget, it could be made more complete and could be used as educational material in secondary schools.
Dart interested Pierce in the project, and Pierce then wrote the script. It involves a young boy who grows up in Kansas during the 1890s.
"The boy becomes a vehicle representing what is happening in Kansas during the Civil War, and the time are as volatile as what happened in the earlier cow towns, but they are often
Pierce is coproducer of the film with Dart and Linda Mowbray, a representative of the
Channel 11 Club and the Junior League of Topanga, Mowbray helped with the cast and crew.
The film, funded by KTWU and the Extramural Independent Study Center, which bought the distribution rights, should be finished in April.
"This is the most dramatic film the school has produced, considering the scope and authenticity it has," said Dart. "I have every confidence it will win several awards."
There are 30 speaking parts in the film. Dart plays a town dentist who is also the narrator. He said the props and sets, which he used to convey his character, were greatly added to the authenticity of the film.
"Before this film was produced, few schools had the budget to do a film of this quality. Now we can show people we could have done," said Michael Schoenfeld, schools if we were given the support."
"So much has been made available to us by the historical that we feel it would be dishonest to cheat them out of less than a 100 per cent effort on our part," Dart said. "Hollywood could not do any better as far as sets and props are concerned."
Soft Drink Prices Steady Here
Although prices for vending-machine soft drinks are expected to increase slightly this summer in the Lawrence area, prices will remain the same in machines on the store shelves. There is a large volume of sales, according to spokesmen for local bottling companies.
Bottling Co., 644 Connecticut St., said yesterday that the price of soft drinks sold in vending machines would probably influence up to five cents from the current price.

He said the price increase would affect
the stock price of his company to sell
a large volume on campus.

The Street Drug Analysis Program (SDAP), a program set up to analyze the contents of drugs taken from street samples, is trying to reduce overdose.
But it is doubtful that the program can operate legally.
Street Drug Labs Unlikely
The program, set up in conjunction with Headquarters Inc., an education and crisis center, was closed last summer by Alty. Gen.
Miller closed the laboratory after a law that required a state license for all analytical laboratories went into effect in July 1973. Maryam Kay, coordinator of SDAP, said their laboratory was not informed when the law went into effect.
"Atty. Gern. Vern Miller closed the laboratory and confiscated the drugs. He did not specify what law he confiscated them under. I feel guilty," she said.
ACCORDING TO HART, any Kansas analytical laboratory is required to have a state license that is issued through the State
J. Bing Hart, doctor of pharmacology and president of Ergo Associates, Inc., said the state was technically justified in registering a complaint with the SDAP for not having a state license.
"Miller has asked the board to clear all applications for licenses
with him," he said. "We do not know of any law that requires this."
with him, he said, "We do not know of any law that requires this." ERGO ASSOCIATES do consultation and research work. They also publish the Straight Dope Analysis Newsletter. Their legal work includes working as expert witnesses at drug trials.
Kay and Hart said their work didn't provide dealers quality control of drugs they sell.
CURT SCHNEIDER, chief of litigations for the attorney general's office, said he closed down the SDAP laboratory for illegal possession of drugs.
Kay said that if customers could analyze their data and find that what they bought wasn't what it was supposed to be, drug sales would be down.
"Public health and safety is important to me," Kay said. "People are going to buy and use drugs anyway, so they should have a way
"Since the program at Headquarters has stopped, there have been many more drug-related emergencies and two fatalities in the past."
"We could arrest them just as we would any person who were in the law, but we didn't." he said. "We asked them to turn over all their evidence."
