Theft of computer discovered at Snow
By KATHY FLANDERS Staff Reporter
Steve Kelly entered the biological resource center of Snow Hall on Jan. 24 to get the computers ready for testing. He found less work than he expected.
One of the Hazeltine computers, worth $895, had disappeared over semester break. The computer was a backup unit and normally wouldn't be missed unless another computer went down.
But Kelly, a facilities maintenance specialist, discovered the theft as he worked to get all the computers ready.
Doris Belote, business manager for the division of biological sciences, said the computer was about the size
of a portable television. She said the theft was unusual because whoever took the computer had to go past newer and more expensive equipment to get the Hazeltine.
"The micro computers are worth a minimum of $1,700, and not much bigger than the Hazeltine. They walked right past those." Belote said "It was sitting there covered up with dirt and snow it was.
— no one would know what it was.
"IT MUST BE somebody that's used it a lot or taken classes here. It looks like someone wanted to take it without stopping the program.
"I have put out notices, but there's been no response."
Belote said the division of biological sciences' crime rate had been low in connection to a KU police program
cal sciences' crime rate had been low — thanks to a KU police program
called Campus Watch.
Campus Watch got into full swing
in the spring of 1983, Lt. Jeanne Longaker of the KU police said yesterday.
"It's an educational program in crime prevention techniques," Longaker said. "It's like neighborhood watch programs, and we encourage KU faculty, staff and students to mark all their valuable equipment and personal items with an identification number."
She said the program also encouraged people to report any suspicious activity, lock doors, secure valuations and out for each other's property.
"THE RESIDENCE HALL staff works with us, getting us into the halls to talk to students about it," Longsaer said. "We have slide programs on crime prevention tips." They also contact staff and directors of departments to have periodic programs throughout the campus. Members of the different departments come to the meetings and agree to being a campus watch person for their own departments.
Police send a newsletter to the people that come to the meetings.
The last programs were held the
first week in January, and the
next will be in March.
The crime watch person is responsible for engraving department equipment and practicing crime prevention techniques.
Police also want to reach off-campus students with the program. The last meetings open to everyone were last summer. The upcoming meetings in March probably will be open to everyone.
Painter adds own style to Japanese tradition
By PATRICIA SKALLA Staff Reporter
Don't mess with tradition. That's always been the rule.
But Stephen Addiss, director of the department of art history, has ignored that rule and put his own painting to an old form of Japanese painting.
Andiss' work, which will be on exhibition Fork, 3 through March 2 at the Kellas Gallery and its calligraphy and figure drawings using original Japanese
techniques but depicting Western subject matter.
"agnus" works feature human figures, rather than the landscapes traditional to Japanese works. Although the Japanese only depicted warriors and hunters, their names Addis said, "I feel figure drawing is the basis of Western art."
ADDISS HAS EXHIBITED works with other artists before, he said, but has not had his own exhibition until now.
Addiss is on sabbatical this semester so he can complete his study of Japanese art. After spring break,
he will leave for a four-month stay in Japan, where he will study Japanese Zen painting, he said.
Addiss he tried to go to Japan at least once a year. He used these visits, he said, to study both old and new artwork. Addiss said he hoped his studies on this trip would result in a book or an exhibition catalog.
"This is the biggest thing I'll have done," he said.
Addis earned his bachelor's degree in music at Harvard University and didn't become interested in art until he and a friend worked as
"We always tried to learn something from wherever we went," he said.
traveling musicians in Japan and China.
Addiss came to the University of Kansas seven years ago and has been the chairman of the art history department for about a year, he said. He said his artistic talent helped him to be a better teacher.
"IF YOU CAN DO it, it helps you to know what the masters have done," he said.
Local legislator joins state building panel
By MICHAEL TOTTY Staff Reporter
State Sen. Wint Winter Jr., R-Lawrence, last week was named to the Joint Committee on State Building and Construction, a committee that decides the fate of remodeling projects for the state.
The committee's responsibilities include decisions on spending for construction and renovation at the other board of Regents schools.
"It allows those of us who advocate quality higher education a more direct voice in decision-making." Winter said yesterday. "Our view will be discussed at that important stage of the procedure."
When the Legislature is not in session, the committee oversees spending requests for everything from a new roof on a rest-stop bathroom to a new science library. The committee oversees this session, it operates more as a subcommittee of the House Ways and Means Committee.
"IT PRIDES ITSELF on the non-partisan nature of its work," Winter said. "Close to 100 percent recommendations have been followed."
review requests from the Regents for three large projects at KU that are to be financed from the state's educational building fund.
This year, the committee will
Gov. John Carlin has recommended that $650,000 from the fund be spent to complete construction on the addition to Haworth Hall, to complete planning for the proposed science library and to begin plans for the renovation of Snow Hall.
A special property tax fund has been earmarked by the state constitution for the construction of educational buildings. The $12 million fund is normally exempt from the usual budget process, Winter said.
However, he said, if spending from the state's general fund was cut for building projects at other Regents schools, KU might compete for money from the educational building fund.
"IM SURE THERE will be some adjustments in those requests," Winter said. "They won't be cast in stone."
In addition, the committee will review the governor's recommended $4 million request for capital improvements at the Rehabilitation schools. KU usually receives 25 percent of the Regents' allotment.
