Seniors get chance to display art
Gallery show features works by 23 KU students
By Terrilyn McCormick Kansan staff writer
Dan Simmons, Rock City, Mich., senior takes a nontraditional slant on his artwork.
His medium combines the elements of printmaking and painting, which makes it difficult to define his work. It is like trying to classify an El Camino.
"There is a lot of discussion about whether it is a car or truck, but the important thing is that it gets the job done," he said. "It isn't just a print or a painting, but it's art."
The culmination of four years of work by Simmons and 22 other seniors hang on stark white walls of the gallery in the Art and Design Building. The artworks, including prints, paintings and sculptures, are a part of the Art Department Senior Show.
Simmons, Scott Homoka, Fairbanks senior, and Jeff Linden, Rockford, Ill., senior, organized the show in three days, with members of the Arts allotted three weeks for preparation.
Gallery scheduling and miscommunication between the students and faculty cut down on time for planning, said students and instructors in the school.
"The students have done a tremendous job organizing the show considering the time limits they were under," said Bob Brawley, chairperson of the school's art department.
Students created the show five years ago, and it has become a regular exhibit in the gallery, Brawley said.
Other universities require each senior to put on his or her own show but because of high enrollment, the senior show is KU stu-
duents' only chance to display their work, said the 'damer Braham, assistant dean
This opportunity to display gives students a different perspective their education might have missed.
"Throughout the whole process, you spend a lot of time in your studio, and it makes it very easy to operate in a vacuum and lose sight of what you are really working on." Homolka said. "This makes you responsible of what you are creating."
"The time we spend is relative. If you want to be really good, you have to be willing to put in the time." Linden said.
Creating the work still is considered the hard part, Linden said.
Because of the unstable life of an artist, Linden keeps a $5 bill in his wallet with the toll-free number of Midwestern Diesel Truck and Driving School. It assures him that he has a job no matter what happens.
Greek organizations to emphasize unity
Activities will feature multicultural events
By Will Lewis
Kansan staff writer
Three years ago, members of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity harassed an African-American female KU student delivering pizza to the house.
After the incident, some KU students formed Greeks for Responsible Education Enhancing Cultural Sensitivity to promote multicultural interaction within the Greek community.
"That was the straw that broke the cannel's back," said Jill Harris, programming director of the organization, about the incident. "People realized that something needed to be done."
The organization this week will sponsor three events, each tied in with the theme, "Creating a Community of Families."
"The purpose of this week is to heighten the awareness of the IFC and Panhellenic Association about Black Panhellenic and its member organizations. As director of the organizations and activities center,
The organization is made up of members from the Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic and Black Panhellenic associations.
"Part of the problem we have is that not only do we not understand each other, but we don't
"We really haven't communicated, and we don't know a lot about each other yet," Cotrine said. "The reason the organization was formed is to educate the white and Black Greeks to understand misconceptions so that they have a better understanding of each other."
know the first thing about each other," Harris said.
Juanta Cotrhine, president of Black Pantherenic Association, said the activities this week were meant to provide understanding between African Americans and whites in the greek system.
The organization kicks off the week's activities with an informal dinner exchange with members from the Panhellene and Black Panther associations and the Interfraternity Council.
Men will meet at 6:30 p.m. at the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house. Women are invited to the Chi Omega sorority house at the same time.
Other activities this week include:
Spike Lee's "School Daze" will show at 7:30 tomorrow night in 3140 Wescoe. The movie is free.
A Forum about racial issues within the greek community will be at 7:30 Thursday night at the Pioneer Room in the Burge Union. The forum will include a panel of representatives from Black Panhellenic, Panhelenic and the Interfraternity Council. Norma Norman, assistant director of minority affairs, also will be on the panel.
City parking scrutinized
Consulting firm to study city's parking situation
By Ezra Wolfe
Kansan staff writer
Lawrence city officials and a consulting company met yesterday to discuss parking shortages in downtown Lawrence.
Finding a parking space in downtown Lawrence will not get easier anytime soon.
At the meeting, Walker Parking Consultant Engineers Inc. was asked by city commissioners to examine how the city manages the city's parking spaces.
Parking management includes violation enforcement and fines, time allowed for metered parking and the location of parking spaces.
Walker already has produced a $9,500 study of
Lawrence parking. That study found a surplus of 602 spaces in the study area — 20 square blocks between Kentucky, Rhode Island, Sixth and 11th streets.
However, the study found a shortage of 440 spaces on Massachusetts Street between Sixth and Eighth streets. That deficit led to the prosecution of Mr. Smith, a city commissioner Shurley Martin-Smith said.
She also said the city needed more and better signs to cope with the new students that come to the University of Kansas every year.
"It takes them a while to figure out where the lots are," she said.
The study noted that if people were willing to walk two or three blocks to their destination, then there would be no parking shortage.
Mike Wilden, Lawrence city manager, said Walker's management study proposal should come before the city commission in two or three weeks.
Final day to pick up refund checks is today
totaling $1.3 million.
Today is the last day for students who have received scholarships and grants that exceed their tuition to pick up refund checks.
"If people haven't picked up their refund checks after a certain date, we just figure they're not here," Shihamhua said. "So it's so important that they pick them up."

She said that as of Jan. 4, her office had prepared 2,450 refund checks
If those checks are not picked up, students will lose their enrollment, said Kathe Shinham, University controller.

Boy steals Superman comic from local store
Kryptonite and Lex Luther could not keep someone from stealing comic books telling of Superman's death from a Lawrence store.
According to Lawrence police
reports, witnesses said a boy entered Comic Corner, 1000 Massachusetts St. and took the comics.
"He just reached over the counter, grabbed the comics and walked out the door," said Stuart Shutts, an employee at the store.
The boy left the store with $174 worth of Superman comics. Two of the books contained the events leading up to the death of Superman, and the other three issues included the actual death. Shutts said.
Witnesses estimated that the boy was about 12 to 14 years old.

Fed up with the "animal rights" movement?
"Animal rights" groups equate the life of a child with that of a rat. They are stifling medical research through disinformation, harassment, and terror. Now you can do something about the disinformation on your campus. Students for Medical Progress, a program of Americans for Medical Progress, will help you work locally to support biomedical research, bring speakers to your campus, and organize to start campus chapters.
