Jayhawk statue sits in alumni courtyard
By DONNA WOODS Staff Reporter
Unlike other Jayhawks of its era, the bronze statue that landed safely atop its perch yesterday in front of the K.S. Adams Alumni Center isn't smiling.
But sculptor Peter F fillerup said that he planned it that way.
we wanted him to look distinguished. Besides, have you ever seen an animal with a human face?
The 4-foot-6-inch statue, resting on a 6,000-pound granite pedestal in the courtyard of the alumni center, is a gift to the University of Kansas Alumni from John and Virginia Eulich, Dallas, both 1951 KU graduates. John Eulich is also the vice president of the Alumni Association.
FILLUPR SAID THAT before the Eulichs asked him to sculpt the statue he had never seen a picture of a horse and had never even heard the rapture of his soul.
In April he flew to the University of Kansas from Wyoming to learn about the origin of the Jawahyr legend and to study different versions of the school's mascot.
After submitting sketches and a scaled-model to the Eulichs for approval, Fillerup began the sculpting process that ended yesterday with the mounting of the statue outside the alumni center.
One of the most prominent features of the statue is the Jayhawk's foot-long cleated boots. The 1910 version of the
mascot also wore heavy boots, but no other Jayhawks have donned football cleats.
"We put cleats on him because when Missouri comes over, and we walk all over them, we want it to hurt a little bit more," Fillerup said.
THE BOOTS HAD to be large, he said, so that they could support the 700-pound bird.
"A bird that size has got to have big feet." he said.
Dick Wintermote, director of special projects for the Alumni Association and the Kansas University Endowment Association, said that the statue represent a blend of various currencies that the university has had over the years.
"The artist attempted to have strength in this one that would show confidence."
Fred Williams, director of the alumn
center, said that the Jayhawk had, "a
stately grace about him that really
represents pride and stature."
The "sately bird" arrived yesterday from Utah wrapped in plastic in the back of a pick-up truck. After several hours, it came to a crash and placed atop its granite perch.
FILERUP. 30, studied sculpture at Ricks College in Rexburg, Idaho, and Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.
He helped complete the Peace Monument in the International Peace Garden in Salt Lake City and the Mormon Temple for the Mormon Temple in Tepee.

The attack on the Marines' Beirut compound dominated all discussions on Capitol Hill, and Reagan sent Secretary of State George Shultz and Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger to the Senate and House to explain the administration's determination to remain in Lebanon.

O'Neill, who strongly supported Reagan's request for an 18-month extension for the Marine contingent, said, "If we were to pull out of there today, it would be a victory not only for
Syria, it would be a victory for the Russians.
Senate GOP leader Howard Baker added, "We should not leave at the point of a gun and I would stoutly resist that. We should keep our powder dry." Wright said, "Suddenly to remove all U.S. peacekeeping forces in the face of this brutal, unprovoked act would be to turn over to the fanatical elements who committed this outrage, and to those in
Wright sark, "Saddenoe to Renewel and U.S. peacekeeping forces in the face of this brutal, unprovoked act would be to risk the lives of our allies if we committed this outrage, and to those in Syria and the Soviet Union who cynically manipulate them."
SEN. CHARLES Percy, R.Ill., chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee, said, "I do not feel in a mood to just cut and run."
But Senate Democratic Leader Robert Byrd called on Reagan to explain "why it is so important that we have our boys over there."
And Sen. Thomas Eagleton, D-Mo., Rep. Dan Crane, R-III, Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga., Sen. Gordon Humphrey, R-N.H., and Sen. Ernest Hollings, D.S.C., among others, called for withdrawal in some form.
On the house floor, Rep Sam Gibbons, D-Fla., said, "I do not like to be partisan, but I only have three words to say — Lebanon, Reagan, Vietnam."
HOLLINGS, A CANDIDATE for the Democratic presidential nomination, said. "We should admit we've made a mistake, get together with our allies and come up with a plan to bring our troops home within 60 days."
There was also deep concern on Capitol Hill about the security provided
for the Marines in Beirut. Some
lost their lives during the troops
fishing on American waters.
SENATE ARMED SERVICES Committee Chairman John Tower said his panel wants to know how the Beirut bomb attack was able to happen, including why so many Marines were located in one building.
"There are questions we want answers to — on the security arrangements," Tower, R-Texas, said at a news conference in the Capitol.
SEN. JOHN GLENN, D-Ohio, a Democratic presidential candidate and a former Marine, said Reagan, Shultz, and Weinberg "must agree on a way to stop the United Nations mission in Lebanon, including the likely scope and duration of our role."

"That's the political side they would have me believe. But from what I've seen about all these fanatical religious factions fighting each other for years, that's going to go on for years and years."
JOSEPHINE RELVAS, dressed in black with tears streaking her face, showed reporters the letter he wrote after affenbach to tell her he was dead. Marines came to tell her he was dead.
A postscript on the envelope flap said. "From Lebanon, with love."
"And now I'll never see him again," she sobbed. "I think it's better they all join."
But Guillermo San Pedro of Hialeah,
Fla., saw his son's death differently. "I
will always be proud of him," he said
"it was agreed he died for his country.
Shock waves spread well beyond the families of the victims, Patricia Schiffhauer, a guidance counselor at Comeaux High School in Lafayette, La., said the news of the death of Pvt. Ralph Warner, an Army veteran, put the school "in a state of shock. Our students are asking, 'Why are we involved in a war like this?''"

Thirteen years ago she lost another son in Vietnam.
Just a week ago, Mrs. Kimm said, her son had written her.
She said he wrote that "it had been awfully hard to sleep with all those shells bursting. He only had 44 days and he was just walking on a ship and get a good night's sleep."
THE NOTIFICATION PROGRESS began at midnight and much of the grim task of organizing the calls fell on Navy Cmdr. Richard Boyer, chaplain for the 2nd Marine Division at Camp Lejeune, N.C.
Both Kimm and Camara were among many of the dead who had been killed by police.
we're looking to be very busy for several days," he said.
The blast destroyed military records and slowed the notification process — a delay that President Reagan said "must be cruel additional punishment" because it would not so wait in suspense. It is a long and tragic story because of the lost records."
"My heart's broken," said Camara's mother, Jean, who came to Cam Lejeune to be with her daughter-in-law when he heard of the disaster. "But I was proud of him because he kept this country free. He was the best. He was a marvelous son, father, husband and brother."

"The Soviet Union, Syria and Iran. That should tell you something about what is going on in Lebanon, why it is part of something much larger than Lebanon and why we have a stake in the outcome."
Pope John Paul II conveved his "deep sympathy" to the American and French conferences of bishops and said
he hoped that "the forces of evil" behind Beirut's terrorist bombings would not block the peace process.
FRENCH PRESIDENT Francesco Mitterrand made a surprise visit to the scene of two bombings, at one point on the ground, and nine base to listen to gunfire in the area.
France sent 14 experts with trained dogs and detection devices to search for its soldiers. Two were rescued alive yesterday and officials said it was possible to live up to 10 days in the rubble.
Identification of dead Marines begun
security agencies pursued a joint investigation into the attacks, which U.S. officials suggested had the assistance of Iran and possibly Syria.

The group's members are believed to be associated with Shite Muslim fundamentalists predominant in the slums bordering the Marine base who support Iran's Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
IRAN DISMISSED allegations that it was responsible and said the bombings reflected Lebanese resistance to the presence of the peace-keeping force.
War, which claimed responsibility for bombing six families in the town, said it carried out the killings so somberly.
Marine Commandant Paul Kelley flew to Beirut to review security and Col. Timothy Geragency, commander in Beirut, said the attack was similar to the car bombing that killed 63 people at the U.S. Embassy in April.
The CBS report said U S intelligence last month intercepted messages from the Iranian foreign ministry to its embassy in Beirut about a planned attack against American forces and installations in Lebanon.
