KU Films on Special Projects Released to Television Stations
Nearly 100 public relations films on the University of Kansas made for release to television stations are being produced by Terry Gladieu, photographer from University Relations Office.
The purpose of these films is to show what is being done with
Kansas taxpayers' money,
Gladieux said, as well as
providing general public interest.
Subjects for the films include special projects in aerospace, architecture, geology and history and the Art Museum and the Art Museum.
First Med Center To Be Torn Down
The original buildings which
composed the University of Kaskaskala
in the late 19th century were
scheduled to be torn down soon
and replaced by apartments as
the university moved.
Dr. Simeon B. Bell, a physician and landowner, donated land and buildings to the University of Virginia where his wife, Eleanor Taylor, in 1905
The Rosedale Urban Renewal Agency will demolish the old Eleanor Taylor Bell Memorial building and possess possession of them on March 4. The Taylor buildings now stand at 311 Seminary, several blocks from the Medical Center complex with Boulevard in Kansas City, Kans
The Board of Regents accepted the gift from Bell and approved consolation of three Kansas City medical institutions.

In 1924 the first building on the present campus was completed. The hospital is located in Hospital, Bell Memorial was named the University of Kansas
Clinical laboratory and
The Eleanor Taylor Hospital has been provisionally a pulmonic care unit. Care during the past 10 years the buildings for various research projects.
Currently, the only remaining research is conducted by the University of Texas Department's leukemia research will move to 4205 Rainbow Boulevard, the former Rosedale Post Office building. The move to Boulevard was prompted by thousands mike, many isolated in germ-free environments, and sophisticated sterilization equipment installed in the remodeled site.
Oread Daily Fails to Burn
Long-haired students no longer stand in front of the Kansas Union distributing the Oread Daily (OD). The OD, the University of Kansas' underground newspaper, is debuting.
By JAMES COOK
Kansas Staff Writer
The OD didn't cost anything and many students accepted it. Some refused it.
The OD is defunct because the staff refused to do any more work.
An underground newspaper has no spokesman. Its staff is elusive. This story, then presents the opinions of former staff members who wished to speak.
One staff member wishes to remain anonymous and, for comfort, is identified as the spokesman.
The spokesman said the OD had more integrity than the Kansan because the Kansan was "plastic" and "self-censored."
The staff of the Kansan, he said, may be aware of social issues but doesn't care and won't write what they feel. He said I didn't know what the real world was afraid to写 about reality.
FORTEP PEOPLE worked for the OD but 10-15 people did most of the work. The OD didn't cost anything to print. It was run off on a mimeograph machine, and the students got a school of social welfare. The paper was donated by graduate assistants or was stolen.
"Hell, it won't stealing," the spokesman said. "We never had to ask for permission." Journalism The University Daily Kansan would call us irresponsible but we didn't give a visit about the Kansen. It's a rug.
"Anyone who reads a newspaper paper needs the accidental printing of an error. An error is an accidental lie. The reader doesn't know what you've done, doesn't know you've made a mistake. What harm is done? Therefore I believe it's all right to read information in both the accidental and the purposeful lie. That difference does it make?"
THE SPOKESMAN said a diplomat degree was not do anything to jopardize his chance of getting one. That he makes, makes it worse.
They sometimes minimize the important and maximize the minute. This is especially true in a letter, which depends on the paper's beliefs.
"I have absolutely no scruples about lying outright about anything. I don't like the word journalism. It implies a whole world. I don't agree with it. I prefer the term publishing," he said.
The spokesman said he thought all journalists "take a stand" and he had to do the same if everyone else was.
Gus DiZerega, Lawrence graduate student, said he read a book about the war in Iraq. Daily Journal-World that blamed blacks for a racial incident. DiZerega researched the story of four women who were incident for every black-initiated incident. DiZerega wrote a story for the OD telling both sides of the war.
"All newspapers are slanted." Williams said, "because they want something to go their way.
Herb Williams, a former OD staff member, agreed with the spokesman and said he felt justified in living
THE SPOKESMAN said he distrusted the stories so they would be true. And he was the 'game' was to 'saint' and he had to 'saint' his since he was 'saint'.
The spokesman said the OD would print anything.
contribute to the "revolution." The Vortex's policy was to print simple stories which anyone could understand.
"WHEN I READ the story the two men wore the OD twice and the Dizegera said. "They made it look like the whites were to blame. The only way to get a true picture was to tell them. World and the OD, add the two, and divide by two. It was the first and last story I wrote for the OD."
WILLIAMS, THE
POKEMESK and some friends started the Vortex. They decided to use it as a subjective and every story should
"I dig the idea of upsetting the power structure," the spokesman said. "We want power to be able to say, 'the king is a fink.' We use often profanity."
The staff motto was "Little acorns make big trees. Plant the acorns in a forest." Vortex wrote "right on" stories for the "18-year old freshman who has never been out of Island Park," the spokesman said.
THE SPEOKESMAN SAID THE
profanity of the profession
editor loved and because
profanity was commonplace
today, the profanity lost its
impact but it remains.
"Our editorial policy," the spokesman said, "was up front." "Fuck" lost its meaning. We expanded, diversified and moved to coarser words. "Fuck lost our vocabulary," he had to expand out vocabulary.
Gladieux makes the two-to- three minute color films. He is assisted by Dennis Branister, editor for University Relations.
Allen Ginsberg visited KU in 1966 and told everyone to smoke marijuana. Ginsberg's speech, the spokesman said, was well received and developed a group that became the readers of the OJ.
THE KANASS FREE Press (KFP) was the first underground newspaper in Kansas, Grist, Screw, Reconstruction and all others and the spokesman worked for these newspapers except KFP.
"It didn't matter whether it was true or not, the point was that we would print it, and you know, it would be awkward. So we see the word 'fuck' in the paper and would say, 'Wow, these dudes are far out.' It was a power trip, that was all. We didn’t care if the dude wanted to just want to see it in print."
The Vortex didn't have an editor because no one would take responsibility for a possible libel suit. The judge couldn't money and wasn't afraid of a suit but was afraid of going to jail. The masthead never contained
"The paper, developed a handle," she said. "take over, and 'dare to struggle, dare to win.' I'm really like the dare to struggle one, it was so hard."
The films are being released to television news programs for use on light news days. So far, the films have been used over four hours of films.
The spokesman said the Lawrence Daily Journal-World ran "useless" pictures of the biggest watermilion in Douglas County so the Vortex ran pictures of women wielding meat knives
THE VORTEX ran pictures to fill space, not to educate the readers. Policy prohibited the use of that did not depict communists.
The spokesman said the editor would read copy and send it back saying it needed more 'right' to move 'more' power to the people's.
Sometimes reporters composed on the stencils and didn't bother to read the conv
THE SPOKESMAN believed there was a hard drug situation on campus and wrote a story about heroin. The story caused a legal trial for the Vortex and which provided the impetus for the OD.
The spokesman said he lost interests in the Vortex because the editor believed everything in the Vortex was revolutionary or counter-revolutionary.
"I asked the editor things like, 'Are curcumbers revolutionary or counter-revolutionary?' people got mad. On an accident newspaper you never, never make fun of the revolution."
"I adopted a straight journalistic style, used simple language," the spokesman said. "At the end of the story I said, 'Right on brothers and sisters. Shoot that man.' We got topple the state. You get a lot done by shooting dope and staying in a stugue. The police had me and me a counter-revolutionary. The staff said I had broken the holy rule, I was angry."
"One day I woke up and said, 'Good God Almighty, what's wrong with these people?' I became convinced they were psychotic. I hate to use that word, but I never did." The entire staff was messed-up.
SEVERAL DAYS later another meeting was held. The women decided the newspaper was too small for the man ran it. They demanded control of the Vortex and issued a list of forbidden words, words that were considered inappropriate. They also issued a memorandum stating that a headline such as
"One day I woke up and said,
'Good Ood Almighty, what's wrong with these people?' I
"Racists, Facists Pig" would be changed to "Racists, Facists, Chauvinistic Pig."
A special meeting was held and the staff decided to abandon the traditional newspaper organization and form a collective.
There are three categories of films. One type is shot and sent to television stations requesting the film, and then edited at University Relations. In the third type, the stations come to KU and shoot their own films with the face of University Relations.
By this time the Vortex was quarrying in its gravel, and it was plucked from the ground to other newspapers. At this time a military group and a group of OD (Oil Destroyer) units were.
A three-day special project film of the Geological Survey and land reclamation received national coverage.
"The whole idea of the revolution is that you can be anything you want to be. All we need are people who students became free and we no longer needed. We no longer had a reason to exist. The staff decided, 'fuck, we don't care about the newspaper, we only care about the news,' so the whole staff was composed of a bunch of cynics. They felt powerful. Look at me, they said, 'I'm going to tell the word, "Fuck." In power.'
Another film featured a project on light aircraft conducted by the Kohlman, professor of aeronautics at the University and several graduate students.
A film about a prefabricated parachute which turns into a rocket. An actor directed by Becaleb Benjamin, assistant professor of physics at the University.
"We're lacking in cooperation from people in the University," said Gladieux. "We're always looking for new subjects, and we'd like people to call or write projects of special interest."
"At this time the OD developed two new editorial policies, 'stay stoned,' and 'when all else falls smoke a joint,' and what smoke would come in at 9:00 a.m. and would come in at 10:00 a.m. and drink a little wine. At 10:00 a.m. they would smoke a couple of joints and by 1:00 p.m. they were stoned and said, 'wait until tomorrow.' But what happened was that the next day there was a repeat of the previous day's events. What happened was that the sounds cut but it's true."
sophomore.
Gladieu said he viewed his and Branister's rules as a KU man, but up interviews for people connected with KU on television talk shows. Gladieu was Gladieu's first news before coming to KU
EACH DAY different reporters put out the newspaper. The workers varied from day to day as the staff changed. The "flip-flipped slant" went "haywire" when writers went to use drugs when they wrote.
The spokesman said the readers of an underground newspaper are leftists and therefore the newspaper itself anyhow, anything, only reinforce established behavior and beliefs.
"Since I don't have a clear understanding of what my viewpoint is I've gone as far as I can go. Williams said." The OD went as far as you, as anyone, but the question is his philosophy of 'burn the fucking thing down.' What more can you say after you've said that?"
WILLIAMS SAID the staff did a small number of only one understand what the OD had to say. They felt they were wasting time.
"The OD, as it was set up, went as far as the OD could go," the spokesman said. "It went as far as it got." The OD did not speak English. The OD was set up to accomplish a specific purpose. Whether or not that end was accomplished here, it's irrelevant. It's purpose was to disseminate the message of 'burn everything' . We saw that the OD wanted our ourselves, 'Wait, what do we do now?' It was just a newspaper and a newspaper is powerless. The end of the development, the end of the cycle. If someone wants an OD let him start one more cycle. If someone wants an OD tomorrow? Hell no."
In 1960 the first group from KU went to Costa Rica, and in 1970 it moved to Puerto Rico. The Chalmers Jr. went to the university to renew the contract with the university.
"FOLLOWING THE INITIAL trips, both Dean Heller (vice chancellor for academic affairs) and an Dan Waggoner (dean of the College of Science) became interested and investigated the program further. Because of their help and support, she is one of the oldest and most successful Junior Year Abroad programs in the United States." Anita Herfield, instructor in English, taught a program from 1968 to 1970, said.
in addition to KU, five other students from the University of Colorado and a school in Arizona are attending the university.
The University of Costa Rica and KU offer similar courses, and all students receive credit at their regular home colleges.
LOUSE KETO, foreign studies adviser, said the University of Costa Rica had a list of families requested to house students.
"Although the students will live in private homes in San Jose," she said, "they will be free to travel and sightseeing."
Orientation for the trip to San Jose began Feb. 17 at KU and continued through Feb. 21 when the students departed from KU in June. Most of the students were briefed on the life, politics, history, university and geography of Costa Rica and had individual appointments with former directors to discuss issues at the University of Costa Rica.
LAST YEAR STUDENTS who traveled to Costa Rica published three booklets in July, August and November entitled Sunflower. Articles were written by the students about the experiences their Costa Rican experiences and their personal growth.
Clark, one of the students who left Sunday, said she first became interested in the Junior Year
Abroad Program during her freshman year.
"In the summer of 1971 I went to Barcelona, Spain, with the KU Summer Institute," she said. "After I returned in August, I went to Dean Waggoner and Dean Weiss (and graduated from Graduate School) about the program, and they encouraged me to go."
Bridges said that when the students arrived in the United States, they felt like strangers and became aware of the opportunities in North American Latin American people dislike.
CLARK SAID SHE hoped her patient CLARK SAID SHE hoped her patient would help她 to view both the good and bad of this and other countries in a more objective country.
"Living within the Latin culture, speaking the Spanish language as natives do and comparing it with Costa Rican and with the Spanish culture in Spain sounded interesting to me," Clark said.
Terry Bridges, a KU senior majoring in Spanish and Latin American area studies who studied in Costa Rica last year through the program, remembered much about the group and its attitudes toward the United States and Costa Rica.
"Each of the nine students had a different reaction to Costa Rica and the United States, and living there often gave her differences more noticeable," she said. "Each person has different opinions about the place in world affairs since we were the experience of live abroad.
COSTA RICANS were friendly, warm people, she said, and all nine of the group were thankful for her kindness they received while in Costa Rica.
"I think it's a beautiful and stable country," she said. "Costa Rica isn't in the midst of political turmoil, but it is one of the nationalism which makes them take a closer look at the United States. It's important for Latin American countries to develop their economies," she added, dependent on the United States."
"Travel and exposure to other people and other societies is an important part of my life," Bridge said. "I learned more by experiencing than I ever could remember."
Although Clark has never been o Costa Rica, she has heard and read about it.
Bridges said, "The family I stayed with had five children and four grandchildren in my family. Every Sunday my family meets in swam, pichoned or engaged in yoga."
Living in Costa Rica or any foreign culture provides more than just an experience. It provides an education.
During her stay in Costa Rica. Bridges traveled throughout the country
"TO GET AN idea about the size of Costa Rica, Kansas has about 80,000 square miles, whereas Costa Rica has 20,000. But Costa Rica has a bigger region than Kansas," she said.
"FOR EXAMPLE, we had opportunities to talk to professional people in Latin America, and we became better acquainted with the role the United States played in Latin America. I have mixed emotions about the United States and its roles in Costa Rica." Bridges said.
The terrain in Costa Rica and the terrain in Kansas are completely different, Bridges said.
On Columbus Day, Oct. 12,
the town of Puerto Limon has a
carnival because Columbus
landed there on his fourth
voyage, and she was fortunate to
view the celebration, she said.
Bridgeids said in Kansas an individual could dry wet across a river to make the difference in the landscape, but in Costa Rica the scenery is too warm.
"If a person travels the distance of thirty miles, he can go from a hot, tropical, semi-jungle resort to an arid desert level, cool plateau," she said.
Bridges said her courses at the university of Costa Rica compared favorably to the courses offered at KU.
"DURING THE two semesters I enrolled in economics, history, literature, geography and archaeology."
