Eldridge, who came to KU in 1970, has been acting director of the museum since July, when the previous director, A. Beil Weller, joined the staff of the Museum of Art in New York City.
His duties as museum director include supervision of museum operations, budgeting and managing the museum's exhibitions and purchasing. He will go to San Francisco this week to do marketing on the National Endowment Grant, which awards grants to work in living art museums.
"My duties are no different now than they were as acting director." Eldredge said. "But now I'm fully accountable."
THE FIELD OF AMERICAN
SOCIALISM
In addition to his semester in addition to his work as museum director, he is teaching a course in American sociology.
Eldredge said that he was happy in his position at the Museum of Art and that he could work with the resources available.
"American art is pooh-poohed by a lot of art historians," Eldredge said. "I try to make my course an illustrated example of American cultural history, an entree to the cultural problems that are involved."
He said he was particularly hopeful that the facilities of the museum would be improved soon and that the collection of KU's collection could be shown.
UNTIL ABOUT 20 YEARS AGG, many of the donations to the museum of Art were not found. Many valuable items Eldridge, many valuable items have been found in the collection and there are still many items in storage at the museum that have been discovered or unidentified
"We need to do a little archaeology on our backyard members of the staff would probably be surprised at what we have in our
Eldredge said the KU Museum of Art is seen as one of the best art museums in the country. The collections of American glass and American textiles are particularly good, he noted, while the museum's American quilts is the second largest in the world. Only the Smithsonian Institution has a collection of American quilts.

This will be the work of Harley's lithograph works.
Students Widen Campaign
Students Concerned About Higher Education in Kansas were active in seven areas of the state during the semester break.
Eldredge thinks his work as teacher and as museum director are complementary.
"Our approach over Christmas was to work in our home areas and communicate with the people there." Rusty Leffel, Prairie School student and coordinator of the group said yesterday.
"ONE IS A BETTER DIRECTOR OR CURATOR or whatever," he said, "for having to explain his ideas in a class because of lack of better teacher for having to handle directly the works of art."
The grass roots approach included writing letters to the editor, giving radio interviews, and contacting area alumni and contacting area alumni and

The emphasis of the "Campaign of Concern" is person-to-person contact and communication with legislators he said.
"We were much encouraged," Leffel said. "People were very receptive and enthusiastic." He added that they were pleased to

The Travel Service also plans to hold passport photo sessions which will save travel-bound KU students money.
"People have been upset over campus disturbances and are glad to see a new attitude at KU," he said. "They want to be sure that education as a government agency, just as any other government agency, is accountable for the dollars being poured into it."
