Tefft Creates Moses
Bronze Moses will be biggest campus birdcage . . .
Sculpture for Smith Hall To Depict University Seal

The sculpture will be positioned near a 16 by 20-foot stained glass window depicting the burning of the sword, making up the official University of Kansas seal, according to Lynn D. Schmidt of the School of Religion
A 10-foot bronze sculpture of Moses', which will stand at the entrance of the School of theology with the birdcage "on campus, according to the designer. Eldon C. Tefft, professor of painting and sculpture."
Taff had recently redesigned Taffed to appeal over the years various artists' conceptions had altered the seal. The latest reproduction he, said, was a 1980s design.
THE FINISHED sculpture will be exactly as it is shown on the University seal with the exception of the praying hand*
The hands, feet and face of Moses will be solid, Tefft said Wednesday, but the remainder of the sculpture will be constructed in a lattice "bridgeage" design. Tefft explained that to make the sculpture stand upright, therozze would make it too heavy and too expensive to be practical.
WHEN THE PLANS WERE being made for the new Ira McI. Smith Hall, it was agreed that the themes of Moses and the burning bush should somehow be carried through, according to William J. Moore, professor of religion and, time, the dean of the school.
Tefft thought one of the reasons the committee chose him to do the sculpture was because of his knowledge of the artwork.
Area M.D.s Performing More Male Sterilizations
It had not been represented in any other art form anywhere on the campus, and thought it would be appropriate to incorporate it into the School of Design.
"Repositioning the hands will make Moses more acceptable to all religions," Tefft said.
Vasetoches are being performed by many Lawrence doctors and appear to be a popular method of birth control. Dr. Dale L. Clinton, health officer of Lafayette, Douglas county, said Monday.
Doctors agree that sterilization is the most effective means of birth control for men. The medical procedure for male sexually transmitted infections in which sperm transmit tubes, the vas, are severed.
The hands will be upraised, as on the seal, but will be held open.
There are no public records available concerning vase-surgery. The popularity of the vase-surgery as birth control was increased on Tuesday.
Teff began work on the Moses sculpture in 1867 and since that time has invited a number of his assistants to assist him in various capacities.
Although vaseiocontenus consume too much time to be performed as a model, the 1863 saw one of its owners saw no obstacle in the way of a person in the Lawrence area once again.
"I wanted to do the job so that it could be a learning experience for my students," he said.
Three of his students. Charlene
Joseph attributed the increase and popularity of male sterilization to awareness and concern for ecological problems and population
Dr. Howard F. Joseph, chief of law at University Memorial Hospital and urological adviser to Dr. Clinton, Hospital, served with Dr. Clinton.
Joseph said he counseled the prospective patient and his wife concerning the procedure and its effects. If the couple favored the surgeon, he scheduled the minor surgery to be performed in his office.
Vasectomies can be performed in about 20 to 30 minutes depending upon the patient. The procedure is approximately $100.
added that he has done about five times as many vasctomies in the last five years as he had done in the preceding 10 years.
Although the popularity of male sterilization has increased in the Lawrence area, Dr. Sullivan's department of health services at the University, said he had received very few patients at Watkins Memorial Hospital.
The model is scheduled to be completed by June 30,1973.
The next phase is a complicated process involving many intricate steps. Plaster is then applied around the waxed finish model.
WHEN THE PLASTER has dried, Tefft said, it will be taken from around the wax form in sections.
At this point, Moses will be moved to the sculpture in Memorial Stadium, he said. Wax will be invested into the mold
TEFFT SAID occasionally he brought an entire class over to the sculpture shop in the Mechanical Engineering annex the craftwork correspond to the work being done on Moses.

are a regular basis this semester, he said. Others are welcome to come.
A burnout furnace is being designed by the foundry class which will meet the wax. This will allow the bronze to leave a hollow space for the bronze. The plaster mold will be broken off the bronze, exposing the mold.
Moses, currently in a model stage, began as an armature made from a piece of leather the armature. Teffis and attached styrofoam and carved out the figure. Over this form, he drew an array of lines upon him applied several layers of wax. The wax had to be built up until it was the exact size and shape of a face point, he said, the detailed modeling will be done. Intricate parts of the hands, feet and face are perfected during this stage.
The pieces will be welded together at Smith Hall, according to Tefft. The entire sculpture will be smoothed over the base and finished. Tefft said that the casting process will take about 14 months.
Moses is scheduled to be finished Aug. 31. 1974.

KU WOMEN: A PROGRAM OF RECOGNITION
"So far I've just made the assignments to reporters for the team," Moffet said. "I am trying to get stories on active groups of people that are conducting programs (in minority problems and issues)."
The Indian Center of Topeka, the Office of Minority Business Enterprise Economic Opportunity) and the NAACP are examples of Topeka groups conducting programs related to minority issues, Moffett said.
MOFET SAID he would act as editor of the newspaper and would be paid a salary by the Topeka publishing group. He said he had never worked with and train some people in Topeka to work on the staff. He said the publishing group hoped to involve not only people from the black community but also white people and other minorities on its staff.
Representatives of the Freedom Enterprise publishing group can be found at www.freedomenterprise.org/nalism and asked help in training its new staff, which is inexperienced.
W. H. BLACKMAN, pastor of Asbury-Mt. Olive United Methodist Church of Topkea and St. Mary's College Inc., said in a telephone interview that at present there were seven members of his organization, all black. He said some of the funeral services he has come from small independent
