Multicolored sand in an ordinary glass bottle becomes a work of art in the hands of Robert Stoufer, Lawrence graduate student.
And Stuart is one of only about eight or one people in the country who practice this method.
Believed to have originated over 100 years ago in Iowa, sand pouring is the art of forming pictures or designs by carefully placing sand in a shallow container of colors of sand inside clear glass bottles.
Stouffer said he used almost any size of bottle, from two-ounce jiggers to gallon
jugs. His favorite bottle shape and size, he is said is the four-ounce grape juice bottle.
The type of bottle used, he said, often determines what design he will put inside. Stouter's most commonly used designs are cappuccino, wats, cute, deer, eagles and Indian designs.
Stouffer calls his pieces "sand bottles." To make a sand bottle with a deer design, he paints, he pours four or five layers of different colored sand in the bottom of a bottle. On top of that he pours a thicker layer of yellow-colored sand and pushes it down the sides to create a plate of pads with hand-made wire tools. This forms a decorative bottom design.
Stoufer then levels off that sand and pours
TOPEKA (AP) - Bills that would tighten state laws on campaign contributions and expenditures and set the state speed limit at 55 miles an hour were tentatively approved in the Kansas Senate yesterday after long some attempts at major amendments.
The campaign bill would require detailed reports to be filed with the secretary of state of all expenditures and contributions, as well as establish campaign contribution and expenditure limits for the first time in state campaigns.
It was approved 21-10 on a standing vote. The bill was abstained. The bill comes for a small number of votes.
a dark layer of sand. This dark layer is pushed down into the yellow layer to form the bottom part of the deer design. Then he pours another yellow layer and pushes it down into the dark layer to form the top part of the deer
Also tentatively approved was a bill sponsored by Sen. John Croftoff, R-Cedar Springs, to limit speed limit on Kansas highways. It would bring Kansas into compliance with a federal regulation and avert a threatened loss of land. It is estimated to total $75 million this fiscal year.
Having completed the design, Stouffer then packs the sand down tightly.
State Speed, Finance Laws Get Tentative OK in Senate
Stoufer collects sand from Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas and the western United States.
The entire process may take only five minutes for the small changes, and it takes much longer for the larger ones.
The federal mandate requires adherence to the 55 m.p.h. speed limit by March 3.
"It's all different in color and texture," he said. "Some sandpits may have four or five different colors of sand, depending on the geology of the area."
A proposed construction program that would build a science and animal care facility and an addition to Robinson Gymnasium will be submitted to the Kansas State College, April 1, Reith Nitcher, vice chancellor of business affairs, said yesterday.
The proposal will include a request for funds to investigate possibilities for an expansion of a computer or learning resources center, Nitcher said.
Priorities haven’t yet been established for construction and improvement of a suburban neighborhood.
Stouffer said it took him about six months to learn this art from his father. Now he and his wife, Grace, Lawrence junior, and Michael, all works at germ and mineral shows in the area.
"We are considering our next improvement requests," they are still in the planning stage but will be submitted through the Board of Regents on April 1.
A committee was established to determine which of the departments that are related to biological sciences will get space in the proposed building.
Gym Addition, Science Facility Proposed
Howard Mossberg, dean of the School of Pharmacy, said that the biology-life sciences building had existed as a concept for only six weeks, and that a committee met for the last two weeks to determine what departments should be located in the

proposed building and how much space should be allotted to them.
The report must be submitted by March 1 to Keith Lawton, director of facilities, planning and operations, Burchill said. The Regents will submit the proposal to the legislature on April 1, he said.
