International group sponsors festivities
By MARY SEXTON Staff Reporter
Under the stagelights of Woodruff Auditorium, facing the darkness of the vast audience, the model emerged from the mural in the finery of China's Chou dynasty.
A glimmering yellow skirt hung to his ankles. The large sleeves of his shirt and a headpiece with dangling pearls symbolized an emperor's nobility.
THE GRANDEUR OF centuries of Chinese costumes, the beauty of an East Indian dance and the spectacle of ceremonial African folk songs are part of the great treasures.
This sight and many more dazzled more than 400 people who attended the cultural show of the 32nd Annual Kansas Jayhawks Tour this weekend at the Kansas Union.
But the festival was designed to bridge that gap.
"The purpose of the festival is to showcase the different cultures, and expose them to the University and the community." Modesto Gonzales, International Club president, said yesterday.
This year's festival included cultural exhibits from 12 to 5:30 p.m. on Saturday in the Jayhawk and Big Eight Rooms, a banquet evening in the Kansas Union cafeteria and the cultural show.
CLIFFORD KETZEL, professor of political science and advisor for the International Club, said he thought the annual show was the best he had seen in years.
This year the KU entries were enhanced by entries from Haskell
Indian Junior College and the University of Missouri, he said.
But along with the good entries in the show, the success of the show hinged on the fact that the groups were limited in number and they were allowed to perform, he said.
"We had eight presentations in less than an hour and thirty-five minutes," he said. In past years the program had been too long for families to bring their children without the youngsters getting restless, he said.
"I thought the Chinese fashion show was spectacular." Ketzel said.
During the Chinese fashion show,
Frances Tao, Taiwan graduate student,
explained the significance of each of
these fashion items to the peasants and the noble people of China.
THE COLORS OF the costumes varied according to the stratum in society they represented, she said. She also said that bright yellow and red costumes with elaborately decorated headaddresses represented nobility and that simple lavender and white costumes represented peasantry.
A variety of cultures were represented at the festival. At one point during the presentation by the KU Latin Student Association someone in the audience was waving a Venezuelan flag to the beat of a Latin anthem.
Each act in the program was as different as the cultures they represented, but they all had at least two things in common - singing and dancing. The music responded by keeping beat to the music and singing spontaneously.
Gonzales said that during the festival people were always reminded of their homes, which helped stir sentimentality.
Among the most spectacular presentations was the Appache Club at Haskell Indiana Junior College.

Commissioners study role of mayor
By SHARON BODIN Staff Reporter
The mayor should try to improve communication with other city commissioners and refrain from making motions as often as possible. Lawrence City Commissioners decided in a study session last week.
The commissioners met to discuss the role of the mayor because Commissioner Nancy Shontz said at last that she wanted that she wanted it defined more clearly.
Longhurst had acted on his own in the past year as mayor and had not consulted the rest of the commissioners.
Last week Shontz said she was concerned that Commissioner David
Commissioners Longhurst, Howard Hill and Mike Amyx said they trusted Angino to decide when he should take care of a city problem and when he should consult the rest of the commissioners.
"Because the mayor is pricier to more conversations than the rest of us," Hill told Anglo. "I expect you to take the matter to get the issue on the agenda."
by the commission should act on his own — that's almost setting policy.
Angino said, "I don't think the mayor on a topic that has not been discussed
However, he said, "I don't see where the mayor should be restricted from answering and giving his own opinion. The statutes say the mayor is a commissioner. So if I speak, I speak as a commissioner."
The commissioners also agreed that the mayor usually should not make motions or second them at meetings. The commissioners also agreed that the mayor had the right to do so.
Angino said that when the mayor sat for 20 to 30 seconds waiting for a motion and none was offered, he should make a motion so that business could continue.
KU alumni contribute $63,488
By YASH BHAGWANJI Staff Reporter
The Kansas University Endowment Association's Greater University Fund 1964 Telefund, which concluded Thurs. issued a record #835,488 in album records
This year's telefand raised about $10,000 more than last year's. The telefand began in 1980 as a way for the association to asociate to unrestricted funds.
Unrestricted funds enable the Endowment Association to spend the money in the areas that lack support, and to pay for the greater University Fund, said recently.
Jim Martin, the Endowment Association's senior vice president for private support, said that the Greater University Fund, along with bequests, constituent appeals, matching gifts and the Chancellor's Club brought in more than $14 million in 1983. $3 billion more than the previous year.
Fred Conboy, director of the Chancellor's Club, said that to become a Chancellor's Club one member is required to give $1,000 annually to the Association. At least 50 percent of every donation must be unrestricted.
"I view my role as a cultivator of future support as much as I do as a fund-raiser of current support," Conboy said.
Dale Seferlinger, director of constituent fund raising, said that he attempted to keep alumni up-to-date on what was going on and why they were doing and what their needs were.
Martin said many businesses, foundations, civil and social organizations also had contributed to the University.
