Show at Union displavs facultv art work
By ANA DEL CORRAL Staff Reporter
Painting is a habit and a necessity for Roger Shimomura, professor of art, who has spent a great deal of his life perfecting his skills.
"It's like being a junkie; you have to feed your habits," he said.
Rachel Abrams, Wichita junior, and Matt Jefferson, Overland Park junior, examine sculptures titled "Gray Boy Doll," left, and "Gray Girl Doll" by Phillip Blackhurst, associate professor of art. The exhibits were among the displays at yesterday's faculty art exhibition at the Kansas Union Gallery. The exhibit runs through October 22.
Shimoumura is one of several art faculty members who contributed work in the project.
THE EXHIBITION WILL run through Oct. 22.
"I don't think there are any two faculty members that paint alike."
The show opened yesterday at the Kansas Union gallery with a colorful array of abstract and landscape paintings, sculptures and drawings.
the exhibition shows what we are all about as individual artists," said Bob Wright, associate professor of art. "Almost all faculty are exhibited here.
Wright, who has an abstract painting in the show, said he didn't like to talk to people about the amount of time that is needed for him to complete an art project.
"They equate quality with time," he said
He said that he was more concerned with the visual effects of his work than with the physical ones.
"I try to be as spontaneous with it as I possibly can," he said.
FOR SHIHMOMURA, WHO has had his work exhibited at the faculty show for 14 years, the message matters. But he said some KU students were not
appreciative of what the University's art faculty produced.

notice of the United States.
He said about 95 percent of the show's visitors would be art students and faculty, because art exhibits rarely
attracted many spectators who were not associated with the School of Art
"I would rather see more exposure of the arts woven into the curriculum," he said.
Students, faculty and visitors helped themselves to free beer or coffee at
yesterday's opening. Many talked to artists and browsed around the gallery.

Reagan agrees to include "build-down" of nuclear weapons in new START plan
By United Press International
WASHINGTON - President Reagan, responding to pressure from Capitol Hill, agreed yesterday to include a call for a mutual nuclear weapons "build-down" in a new proposal to be offered at the Strategic Arms Reduction Talks.
Reagan, in a meeting with key members of Congress, said the build-down concept would be part of the position to be staked out by chief U.S. secretary of state. It will fifth round of the START talks with the Soviets opens Thursday in Geneva.
The participants echoed the view of Sen. Charles Percy, R-III., that the new proposal reflected "a truly historic moment" in cooperative bipartisan messaging and should send an important "message of unity" to Moscow.
"The Soviets ought to conclude from this that this president is going to have bipartisan support for his arms control position," said Rep. Albert Gore, D-Tenn. "They ought to conclude they have no interest or advantage in waiting to get an agreement. The ball is in their court."
REAGAN WILL PUBLICLY outline the new START proposal today after a final meeting with Rown. Percy, chairman of the Senate Foreign Rela
tions Committee, said he could "vitality guarantee" ratification if the draft was approved.
"We have now enabled the door to be opened." Percy said. "It's up to the Soviets to decide whether or not to walk through it."
Meanwhile, the Soviet Union yesterday blamed the $^{b}$ United States for blocking progress in nuclear arms negotiations and charged that Washington did not want to reach an agreement.
"It is the Soviet side that keeps the door open to a mutually acceptable agreement and it is the United States that doesn't want to come in through that door," said chief Soviet negotiator Viktor Karpov.
KARPOV, SPEAKING to reporters after arriving in Geneva for the resumption of the Strategic Arms Reduction Talks, said progress has been blocked by "the one-sided U.S. position not intended for agreement."
He said that the United States said it desired an agreement, but charged "its proposals are designed to legitimize American military programs, the
implementation of which would enable the United States even to build up the number of strategic arms and nuclear weapons.
Rep. Norman Dicks, D-Wash., like the others, praised Reagan for agreeing to work with Congress and said this willingness should be a further inducement to the Soviets to move closer to an agreement.
THE CASTLE
TEA ROOM
"No one can say that this president hasn't gone the last mile to try to work with the Congress to develop a negotiationable arms control policy." Dick's said.
THE UNITED STATES has proposed a one-third cutback in the number of strategic nuclear warheads on both sides. In June, Reagan agreed to raise his proposal limit on missiles from 850 to 625 and closer to the Soviet proposal of 1,800.
The Soviets modified their proposal in early July, calling for a limit of some 1,100 to 1,200 multiple-warhead missiles and strategic bombers armed with

cruise missiles within an overall ceiling of 1,000 missiles and bombers.
The administration shaped the new START offer not only with an eye toward Capitol Hill, where support for the build-down still could be crucial to the future of the MX missile, but also with a broader mission that earlier recommended far-reaching changes in U.S. strategic policy.
BEFORE MEETING WITH THE six-member congressional delegation, Reagan discussed the START negotiations with his Commission on Strategic Forces, which has continued to support his commitment to reshaping its work on the MX mussel.
The commission chairman, retired Brent Brent Scrowcott, said the latest position moves toward the goal of "a national consensus" in arms control, but hinted the political impact at home does not guarantee progress in Geneva.
"I think it is a very useful proposal," he said. "Whether or not it is negotiable depends on the circumstances."

Geologists to research potential ore deposits in study of two states
By PAUL SEVART Staff Reporter
THE STUDY WILL be conducted by the KGS, the United States Geological Survey and the Missouri Division of Geology. Representatives from these agencies will meet today in Pittsburg to coordinate their activities and view some surface land formations.
A four-year study of potential ore deposits in southeast Kansas and southwest Missouri will begin today as part of the University Survey scientist said yesterday.
"The mining companies just don't have the resources to look for trends." Berendsen said. "We can compete with the mining industry."
Pieter Berenden, associate scientist with the KGS on West Campus, said the research would add to the knowledge of the area's workforce and drilling companies information in planning possible exploration.
The KGS will spend about $100,000 for its part of the first year of the survey, he said.
Berendsen said that a few KU students would work on the survey at the KGS office in Moore Hall. He said he would be involved in field work this summer.
The area to be studied includes counties that were scarred by extensive mining of ores earlier in this century, but two scientists said that modern mining techniques could alleviate the possible environmental damage of renewed mining.
"It's up to the mining companies to find the needle within that haystack," he said. "You still have to put money into it to find things."
The survey is to cover nine counties in Kansas and three in Missouri. From the counties in Kansas, for instance, the survey might include a fourth of a county indicates trends favorable for a particular ore.
The scientists will be looking for a variety of ores, including lead, zinc, cobalt, aluminum, magnetite (an iron ore), copper and silver. They will not necessarily be looking for ores in areas where they are known to be, as mining companies usually do.
"If you are going to hunt buffalo,"
The first result of the survey will be a geological map of the area, which should be finished in about 18 months. Berendsen said. A variety of techniques will be employed through the course of the study, from magnetic studies done from airplanes to chemical analysis to computer modeling of underground formations.
Berennden and Al McFarland, a research associate with the KGS, said the environmental damage done by past mining in the area could be avoided today by modern mining techniques. Some of the area, especially in Crawford and Cherokee counties, is dotted with flooded strip mines, which were never properly reclaimed.
Still, McFarland said, the environment would be disrupted by renewed mining activity. New tech could help control the effect of that disruption
Berennden said of mining company practices, "you would go where the buffalo are rather than seek out new territory."
BALANCING THE environmental issues, he said, are the high price of imported natural resources and the depressed economy in the area.
THE STUDY IS part of a nationwide program, begun in 1979 by the Department of Interior, to identify areas that have the potential for developing resources. A similar study is underway in the Springfield, Mo., area.
"Those are probably the cleanest mines you can wish to have." Berendens said. "In the past 15 to 20 years, the mining that has been taking place has been reclaimed neatly well."

"It's a said fact that we've become more and more dependent on foreign sources," he said "in the long run we're just paying through the
Although the studies in the Springfield and Rolla, Mo., areas have not produced a great influx of mining activity, Berendsen said, the potential for a brighter economic drive through mining activity is real.
"The payoff as such is wholly dependent on what companies think of the work and the state of the economy. Berenden said, "We don't give payoff as such to payoff in that sense. But it can be used as a planning guide."
