Art Museum to Be Studied As a Showcase for Others
By CAROL GWINN
Kansan Staff Reporter
The University of Kansas Museum of Art has been chosen by the newly-formed Council on Museums and Education in the state. It is because of its public education programs.
The museum's education programs include tours of Spooner Art Museum for grade school children as well as special exhibits, such as "The Extended Hand" exhibit.
Dolo Brooking, curator of museum education, said yesterday that the selection of 10 or 12 museums from all over the United States was made in mid-December and that the number of museums later had been narrowed to eight.
The programs used by the selected museums will be models for other museums. The council, which has 18 months' experience in museum information, for use by other museums.
Brooking said the council was formed because of the increased need for information about public education programs in the museums.
When the museum program program was beginn at KU in 1986, Brookling said, it was one of the few programs he had.
"You very seldom find university museums involved in public education," Brooking said. "Most university museums are for the use of the art history students.
"Not a whole lot is being done now in museums public education, but some notable work has been done. More will have to be done if the museums are public institutions.
"We are a small museum with limited resources," Brocked said, explaining why it is difficult to find.
"We have innovative programming and we interact with other departments on the job."
Brooking and she thought geographical disturbation was also some basis for the model.
"They're studying everything," Brooking said, "relationships with other departments, the traveling art van, what they work, how do they work, who is doing what."
A console with switches and tape decks lifts and folds up from a desk. Headsets lower from the ceiling and begin to emit foreign sounds.
No, it's not the Star Ship Enterprise. It's an electronic classroom in Wescoe Hall and those are students, not aliens, wearing the headsets.
Electronic Language Lab Flexible
The electronic classroom is a feature that makes the language laboratory at the University of Kansas unusual, according to Ermal E. Garinger, director of the laboratory and a teaching associate in Spanish and Portuguese.
The most important feature of electronic classrooms, Garrett said, is their ability to learn from the teacher.
THE CHANGE from regular classroom to language lab is made with the turn of keapered switches on a desk at the front of the room. One switch lifts the top of the desk exposing controls for the lab. Another switch lowers headsets from the ceiling.
Garinger said the versatility of the electronic classroom was valuable to teachers and allowed the fullest use of classroom space because the headsets and lab controls didn't clutter up the room when not in use.
Another important feature of the electronic classroom is its protection from theft. The classroom has several security features, including
language laboratory in about two minutes.
Dockings' Capital Gains Criticized by Candidate
TOPEKA (AP)—The Rev. Forrest Robinson said yesterday that the family of Gov. Robert Docking had made more than $500,000 from its ownership in a company with no state agency and although not illegal, it was "a violation of moral principle."
Robinson, candidate for governor, speaking from a prepared statement at a news conference, was referring to a Docking family stock interest in the Kansas Public Service Company in Lawrence, a natural gas utility.
"Since the Docking family owns one-fourth of both the common and preferred stock in Kansas Public Service Co. the company has had five years, more than a man working a lifetime could earn at $ an hour," Robinson said. "In addition, the family's share of annual earnings has increased 226 per cent since 1990." Kansas Corporation Commission ruling.
Robinson was referring to a 1968 ruling by the commission that gave rights to Kansas Public Service to serve areas adjacent to the city of Lawrence. Kansas Public Service was authorized to serve the city of Lawrence, and the territorial dispute was over areas then just outside the Lawrence city limits.
A spokesman for Docking said Robinson had been a pig "in a poke" by reviving his son from a brain injury and electing. But Robinson said he was speaking out now because a conflict of interest bill now in a House committee does not prevent a repetition of such a situation.
Robinson said this represented a moral conflict of interest on Docking's part because a company in which he owned stock was doing business with the University of Oklahoma. In addition, a body whose members were appointed by the governor, the Board of Regents.
"Under federal law governing the conduct of federal officials, such a situation as is prohibited," Robinson said. "Surely the governor no less a guardian of public interest."
"I believe it should be illegal for any public official to profit directly or indirectly from his official position, and the law should clear and simple on this point," Robinson said.

Robinson charged the Corporation Commission ruling in favor of Kansas Public Service came after Docking appointed two members to the body.
But the Docking spokesman, news secretary James C. Shaffer, said the decision came prior to Docking's election. Shaffer said a court decision affecting the corporation had been approved by Corporation Commission then simply carried out the court's mandate.
A language student can come in, push a button to select his lesson for the week and study the recorded lesson without having to ask for the particular lesson, as was necessary in the old language laboratory at Blake Annex.
MOST OF THE carrals are equipped with cassette tape recorders, Garringer said, and some students will record the lesson as he listens to it. Then, the student can take the tape home to study.

Services were opened for use as soon as they were installed so not all the problems with the equipment were solved, Garinger said.
Use of the language lab has been increasing by about 10 per cent each week for several weeks, according to Garinger. He said the popularity of the lab was growing as more people became aware of its opportunities and ease of operation.
"A final check out this week by a technician from Wichita should have reduced problems with the equipment to almost nothing," he said.
"I did an awful lot of brainstimp," he said about the lab wich scotter slightly lessens.
Garinger designed the laboratory after consulting with language teachers and laboratory directors from other universities.
Oral Roberts University spent about $1 million for their language lab, he said, even though their lab doesn't offer the variety of services the KU lab offers.
THE FLEXIBILITY of the KU lab will prevent it from becoming obsolete in the near future, he said.
Plans for the laboratory include recording Voice of America broadcasts from a short-wave radio in the lab for use by language classes, Gartering said.
Some complaints about the lab have been because not all of the bugs were detected.
THE LANGUAGE laboratory is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. The library is a shortage of funds for personnel limits the lab's open. The personnel and supplies budget increased by 20 per cent from the amount provided for the old lab at Blake Annex, he said.
In the same time the number of classes using the lab has increased 600 per cent, the available programs have increased 400 per cent and the use of tape recorders for students has doubled.
The shortage of personnel funds could force a reduction of the number of hours student assistants work at the lab, Garinger said.
“There’s only so much a budget can budge,” he said.
