The Elizabeth M. Watkins Community Museum will give the old Watkins Bank building at 11th and Massachusetts streets a new
Plans are being made to restore the building to its original Victorian state, and a museum inside will contain the collections of the Douglas County Historical Society as well as some new exhibits.
Philip Humphrey, director of the University of Kansas and a professor at an adviser for the Elizabeth M. Watkins Community Museum, said the exact types of exhibits they would probably include
some art, culture, natural and local history themes.
The Douglas County Historical Society and the history and traditions of Lawrence Lawrence Chamber of Commerce are members of the board of trustees of the museum, and its staff will be involved in part in deciding what exhibits will be featured. Humphrey said. "I'd date for the museum's opening."
"There is quite a lot of preliminary work to do," said Humphrey, "but we're hoping for a more complete end of the academic year."
Charles Eldredge, director of the KU Art Museum, said efforts were being made to increase the

Shortened Courses A First for School
According to Donald Richardson, assistant dean of the Schoo of Education, "The basic intent is to accommodate the professional person in the fields of education with him in in-service training."
The Douglas County Historical Society gained use of the Watkins Hall, which generated a generosity of nine legates of Elizabeth Watkins, whose buildings were at Watkins bank in 1909. The building has been used as a city office building since 1978.

The School of Education at the University of Kansas is offering for the first time a selection of courses in week short courses this summer.
RICHARDSON said the School
Twenty-two of these short courses are being offered this summer. The short courses are designed to cover the same subjects in a regular eight-week program on a more intensified basis.
KU Receives Police Training Funding
Although there are undergraduate courses being offered, the program is designed primarily for students working on advanced degrees or fulfilling requirements for renewal of certification.
The University of Kansas recently granted a $141,803 allotment for continuation of its program of law enforcement and the Governor's Commission on Criminal Administration.
Raymond Nichols, executive secretary to the Chancellor, said a state statute all persons engaged in forcement in Kansas must train periodically to remain up-to-date on current techniques in law.
According to Nichols, KU has administered the program for several years, under funds by the Governor's Commission.
of Education had found that teachers had a difficult time working their summer schedules around an eight-week summer break. They send calendars in public schools extend over the semester schedule at the University of Kansas. Consequently, some teachers find it difficult to renew certificates they need to renew certificates or complete advanced degrees.
Elizabeth Watkins Milkens (1881-1939) made many contributions to the Lawrence community and especially to KU. She was an inspiration to all students of scholarship halls at KU. Watkins Hall, given in 1929, was her first public gift to the University. She also gave funds for Miller Hall, another university hall, in honor of her family.
The schedule applies particularly to administrators whose 12-hour shift is from being free for an eight-week course. They could, however, drive to KU every afternoon for three weeks with less difficulty.
Many other teachers would rather concentrate their studies in the summer than have it strung out over the summer and interrupt vacation
UNDER the short course program this summer, a student may carry up to eight hours, or two days, of work in dean, but he may only carry four hours during any one four-week session. He could, however, carry one course under the eight-week program in one of the short courses.
Richardson said that the short work with the children with a workshop program. In the past the School held workshops in elementary education, but they had not been taught yet.
A workshop is designed to address itself to a specific problem, from the beginning and reach a solution to the problem within the time allotted. The students should short courses would present a content in an instructional manner and complete the same amount of work typically covered in a workshop.
Other contributions include Watkins Memorial Hospital, Watkins Nurses Home and which had been her own home.
In her will, she gave to the KU Endowment Association some 25,000 acres of western Kansas land, in part "the income from the property be used for the benefit of the University in such a manner and for such purposes as are appropriate and reserved for Trustees of the Association."
Watkins funds have been used to purchase enough land to more students and to Lawrence and Kansas City campuses, and they have been used to establish the University's Library. The Wakatz Chapel and the Elizabeth M. Watkins Scholarships, the two programs women can receive from KU.

Sessions at the Institute included a review of laws, comparison of affirmative action programs from different states and how this affects the programs, affirmative action programs in relation to students, the involvement of women in affirmative action, continuing education technology of women and the development of women's study programs.
"IT WAS a terrific experience," Gilham said. "It was six days of sharing ideas and gaining new ones."

Gilham said that any outside group could receive lists of films and guest speakers through the affirmative action offices.
"More women are interested in working and taking their own jobs, and there is now a real opportunity for career development and training."
Bureau Starts Fall I.D. Work
The Photography and Graphic Arts Bureau offers a wide variety of graphic design courses at Kansas faculty, staff and students, according to Edward A. Smith's website.
Photo I.D. cards are one of the main jobs of the bureau, east of the main entrance. The summer enrollment more than 1,200 I.D. cards were made. D.I.s are also being made for the fall freshmen who are here

Last year the bureau added color film processing to its list of services. Color slides of the University are now available to anyone wishing to place an order. One of the largest projects the bureau was a three for one long photomural of the campus.
Free portraits are available to the faculty, and copies of these are supplied whenever a picture is needed to be used with a news story.
THE RANGE of the bureau's work is apparent in a project done for the Special Educational Department. A new identification symbol created for the Center was later incorporated in letterheads, envelopes, personal cards, brochures, letters and mailing labels for the Center.

The Committee also held discussions on whether the Coalition should become involved in party politics, and in organizing information for becoming a recognized University group.
The Coalition considered going in two directions in their investigation: finding out research areas that are relevant to people, and suggesting areas that should be researched to directly benefit the community. Among the suggestions for the project is "Science for Vietnam" project.

A tall, handcuffed man, struggling to free himself, was shoved and dragged down a raft of metal tubes and newsmen. He lunged at the photographers, attempting to distract them from their purpose. He covered his face with his hand and was pushed into an office.

"I want them to know how much more can be accomplished if you are calm and organized," he said.
The last escape takes the student outside for better lighting conditions.
Seymour has somehow managed to get through his school, without injury, but not with any help from his students. He has been tripped, kicked, and hit by a bike, picked up and thrown once onto a car by an overzealous one.
Photo lab assistants have poured beakers of water on him and stolen the keys to his hand. He always came up smiling.

"You wouldn't believe it, but out of all the students in the class, only one or two ever took a picture," Seymour said.
