Page 8 University Daily Kansan, September 13. 1983 Reagan picks Hispanic woman for treasurer United Press International By United Press International WASHINGTON β€” Katherine Ortega speaks at a ceremony in the East Room of the White House, President Reagan nominated her yesterday to be U.S. treasurer marking the start of Hispanic Heritage Week. WASHINGTON β€” President Reagan resumed a drive for Hispanic political support yesterday by nominating banker Katherine Ortega to be treasurer and saying more than 20 other economics are in line for top federal jobs. Boasting a commitment underlined by the appointment of more than 125 Hispanics to "senior positions" in government, Reagan raised the curricular authority to bolster his standing with the nation's fastest-growing minority. "Today you'll find Hispanics at the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) and the CAB (Civil Aeronautics Board) and all over government." Reagan said during an opening ceremony marking Hispanic Heritage Month, he emphasized professionalism, and we intend to take advantage of that talent. Reagan was warmly applauded as he entered. Ortega, 49, a commissioner of the Copyright Royalty Tribunal for the last nine months, stood at his side, visibly moved by the announcement of her nomination, which is subject to Senate confirmation. "We NEED your participation and your beliefs to guide this nation." Reagan told Hispanics in the audience, "because the hopes and dreams Hispanic Americans are the same dreams that founded this country." With Hispanics considered a swing constituency in such key electoral California, Reagan has gone all-on- recent months toη”© their support, in part to offset his low standing among blacks. Sensitive to accusations of political exploitation from some Hispanic leaders, Reagan noted Ortega is a certified public accountant and was California's first woman bank president. "So," he said, "you can see that she's being nominated not because Reagan noted the 125-plus Hispanic appointees now in the administration and added that another 20 or 25 soon will be named she's Hispanic, but because she is highly qualified." ORTEGA, HIER voice choked with emotion, accepted the nomination "with a deep sense of joy, pride and gratitude." Dreams are key to art, Hallmark speaker says By GINA K. THORNBURG Staff Renorter An artist's imagination can make dreams come true, the former art director of Sports Illustrated said Tuesday. "I think everyone able to be understood Gangel, Weston, Conn., was the first speaker in KU's 1983-1994 Hallam Symposium Series, which is financed by a grant from Hallam Cards Inc. Gangel narrated a slide presentation replete with the images and illustration essays that artists did for the magazine while Ganguel was its art director, "We are given the opportunity to select our own Illusion and be motivated by its promise," Richard Gangel, executive for 21 years, said in Wesco Hall. Gangel's appearance at the University of Kansas was a reunion with a longtime colleague, Thomas B. Allen, KU Hallmark professor of design. Allen is in charge of organizing the Hallmark Symposium Series. GANGEL SAID that Sports Illustrated artists had to be able to make visual art that is not just a painting. As Gangel showed a series of slides featuring the Kentucky Derby, he commented on the lively colors and bold design of the illustrations. "You can't work with this boldness without having been there and having seen it." He said the sports images presented many ways of seeing things, some of which he could not do. "One of the delights of dealing with artists is the fun of dealing with style." Bad checks, broken leases might hurt credit ratings, consumer advocate says By CHRISTY FISHER Staff Reporter Students who write bad checks, make late payments or break lease agreements could be jeopardizing their credit standings, even if they do not own credit cards or have an outstanding loan. Clyde Chapman, director of Consumer Affairs Association, 819 Vermont St., said that credit information sometimes ended up in the hands of prospective employers, future landlords or area businesses, if the student was careless about his bill-paying habits. CREDIT BUREAUS retain information on bill-paying habits and sell it to businesses wanting the information. If the business is a member of that bureau, the account information can be obtained for a sale. Chance president of the Credit Bureau of Lawrence, Inc., .303 W. 11th St. "Students should be aware that their actions now could affect their credit later. Once a student has established an account, adverse information can stay years while bankruptcy information can remain for 10 years," Chapman said. The Lawrence credit bureau obtains information for more than 60,000 active files, such as courthouse records, loan documents, medical records, court reports and bank records. Chance said. "We do not accept references from people who are not a legitimate business member. We have had people try to come in and make a report on people who owe them money, but Ive them to whom I cant request use this maliciously," she said. Chance said that even if a student had left town to establish a clean record, the bad credit information probably would follow. She encouraged students to check their files if they have been turned down for credit and they do not know why. Sometimes lack of credit, good or bad, can cause a person to be turned down. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, anyone may see their credit file free if they request the information within 30 days of receipt. Otherwise, a small fee will be charged. "We try very hard to verify information. It's especially hard if two people in the same household have common names. If the senior and a child are going to a vacation, we'll call to find which account we are to put the information on." Chance said. A COMMOM misconception is that credit bureaus interview neighbors and acquaintances about a person's lifestyle, character and reputation, said Dr. Brady, public relations assistant for Equifax, a national credit reporting agency. brazy said consumers should be aware that two types of credit reporting agencies exist β€” the credit bureau and the investigative consumer report. "A credit bureau and an investigative consumer reporting agency are two separate affiliates." Brady is one of the agencies are used for employment and insurance purposes. Only in these we investigate whatever the customer wants." TENNIS Intramural Tennis Doubles entry deadline 5:00 p.m. 208 Robinson. Entry Fee: $1.00 and an unopened can of tennis balls.

It illustrates the suggested imagery of the character's self-awareness. Gangel was art director for Tme Inc. Promotion in 1950, and was Life magazine's staff art director from 1958 to 1960. In 1961 he designed the four U.S. postage stamps honoring Jim Thorpe, Bobby Jones and Babie Zabarias. HE SHOWED a slide of Botticelli's painting of a scene from Dante's Divine Comedy. He now works with acrylic lacquer on aluminum in his Connecticut workshop, which he pictured in his presentation. He referred to the "brooding brutality" of a painting of a boxer who had been killed in the ring. The darkness of this painting contrasted with the lightness of illustrations that had a grip on looking at American sport, he said. IN HOPES of obtaining an illustration with a fresh perspective, Gangel said he had sent a French artist to the artist's first American football game. The artist did give a new look at him and told me how much as one illustration that depicted a man waving the American flag while sitting astride a floating football. Gangel has also done some important work with the electronic transmission equipment. Sports images can be considered fine art, he said. Gangel said he made no distinction between fine art and illustration. To some, his work evokes the feeling of a child's imagination. He said that computers were beginning to play an important part in graphic design and that the role of computers in design would increase. "Sports images can be somewhat monotonous," he said, "but to put them through the imagination of gifted and photographers solves the problem. illustration is not as remarkable as fine art, he said. --- 1984 Jayhawker Yearbook And that, he said, is wrong.
