Med Center olympics benefit charity
BY BRIAN LEVINSON Staff Reporter
KANSAS SAT, Kan.-Students,
faculty and staff at the KU College of
Health Sciences put the tools of their
trade to some unique uses Saturday
afternoon at the Spring Fever Olympics
in Philadelphia benefited the Ronald McD
Donald House.
The scene was right out of the television show "M"A'SH." One contestant came dressed in a bathrobe, boots and straw hat, while his colleagues competed in events called "Dunkin' Joes," an waddle, tibia tugation and six others.
The Ronald McDonald House, near State Line Road and Olafthe Boulevard in Kansas City, Kan., provides a place where the families of young cancer children receive treatment at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
The 253 participants in the Olympics were divided into 21 teams. Each team was sponsored by a Kansas City area business that was asked to match the teams of each school with Kathleen McBrayne, the event's organizer, said.
The Olympics raised more than 2,900 for the Ronald McDonald House, a favorite charity of the medical students.
In the first of the events, the bedpan waddle, contestants had to walk 25 yards with a plastic bedpan between their feet and dropped the bedpan he had to start over.
several dozen spectators cheered as their favorite Olympians slowly sank, struggling to cross the finish line before their rans dropped.
Doing a duck walk for a few yards proved to be easy compared to the wheelchair race.
eight course in a wheelchair didn't seem tough at first, until the contestants found out the person driving the wheelchair was to be blindfolded. There were exceptions through the course, and there even a few minor wheelchair accidents.
Pushing a partner through a figure-
The zaniness continued throughout the afternoon with the medical version of a three-legged race. Partners had to tie their ankles together with tubing and use the two legs to walk to the other end of the course holding the bag between their bodies.
And, no field day would be complete without a sack race, known to these medical Olympians as the "buddy bandage."
Contestants wrapped their partners in a bedsheet and closed the sheet with a Kelly clamp, a surgical instrument, and scissors. The live mummies had to trade to the other end of the course, trade places with their partners and return.
A controversial film documenting the destructive effects of missionary work on Colombian Indian cultures will be shown today.
The film, produced by a British anthropologist, will be shown at 8:30 p.m. in the Spooner Museum Gallery. It is sponsored by the Undergraduate Anthropology Association.
One of the panelists, Robert Smith, KU professor of anthropology, said that missionaries should work on demoralization and loss of culture
Discussion to follow missionary film
after Indian Christianization had been completed.
"The general pattern for Indian cultures after they've been Christianized is that they are reduced to the lowest stratum of society," Smith said yesterday. "They are exploited by everyone. The longer they are out of the forest, the worse off they are."
Smith said that the film addressed a very serious problem, that of taking away a culture's religion and replacing it with an alien one.
"Most missionaries go down to South America with the idea that if they can get them to hell," Smith said. "They have an urgent desire to change their
religion, but they fail to understand that usually the Indian culture revolves around the Indian religion
"Take away an Indian culture's religion and a whole way of life disintegrates."
Smith said that another destructive aspect of missionary work was that often there was fierce competition between Protestant and Catholic missionaries for Indian souls.
"This can bitterly split tribes, one-half of the tribe becoming Catholic and one-half Protestant," Smith said.
Other panelists will be Frances Ingemann, KU professor of linguistics, and David Stoll, a Kansas free-lance writer.

Dedication to honor 2 profs
Auditoriums in Wescop Hall will soon bear the names of two men who have served the University of Kansas as instructors and teachers since the mid-1890s.
During a dedication ceremony and reception at 1:30 tomorrow in the Kansas University, one audioturism, Room 3130, will be named in honor of George professor of English and associate vice chancellor for academic affairs.
Waggoner served as dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at KU from 1954 to 1975.
After receiving a bachelor's and master's degree in English from KU, Waggoner received his doctorate in 1982. He is the University of Wisconsin in 1947.
The other auditorium, Room 3140,
will be named in honor of William P.
Albrecht, professor emeritus of English
and an emeritus of the Graduate
School.
He earned his bachelor of science in commercial engineering degree from the Carnegie Institute of Technology, a master of arts in English from the University of Pittsburgh and a doctorate in English from the University of Chicago.
Albrecht was dean of the Graduate School from 1963 to 1972, after serving as professor and chairman of the department of English from 1974 to 1963.
"It is especially fitting that the lecture halls in Wescoe be named for George Waggoner and Bill Albrecht." Acting Chancellor Del Shankel said. "They are both from the department of English, have both had a long and abiding love for the humanities, and they both, throughout their years of administrative service to KU, demonstrated their love of teaching and their dedication to teaching excellence."
Kappa Sigma to host fifth Mayfest party
The Kappa Sigma fraternity will sponsor its fifth annual Mayfest philanthropy for the KU Perceptual Motor Clinic from 8 to midnight tonight at the fraternity's house, 1045 Emery Road.
"This will probably be the biggest Mayfest we've ever had," Craig Randle, Tulsa, Okla., sophomore and Mayfest chairman, said. "We expect a bigger attendance because it's on the last day of classes."
Proceeds will go to the Perceptual Motor Clinic, which helps handicapped children with motor problems.
Tickets are $3 and are available from any Kappa Sigma member. Tickets are $4 at the door.
For all you independent thinkers who agree that an alternative is needed, we present an all cotton knit shirt of exceptional quality . .. from CROSS CREEK. A rainbow spectrum of colors and traditional stripings are available.
$19.00 to $22.50
