Arrival of Magna Charta to be heralded
A trumpet fanfare, dancers and musicians will announce the premiere of the Magna Charta at the University of Kansas Sunday.
The grand opening of the exhibit will be at 3 p.m. at the Kenneth A. Spencer Research Library, and will be accompanied by a trumpeter on the balcony of Strong Hall, a recorder consort from the University's Collegium Musicums and dancers from the Society for Creative Anachronism.
ALEXANDRA MASON, co-chairman of the committee planning the events,
there would be a special showing for dignitaries, including legislators, the Board of Regents, Endowment trustees and others invited by the chancellor's office.
Smaller displays of other charters and documents from the period of the Magna Charta, a proclamation from Gov. John Carlin, a resolution from the Kansas House of Representatives and an honor roll of contributors will be displayed for people to look at while they wait to see the document.
The charter can be viewed Sunday
from 3 to 6 p.m., Monday and Tuesday
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. and
Wednesday between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.
MASON SAID the document would be taken back to the bank vault that it will be stored in during its stay immediately. The bank said it was important that people come early.
An Encyclopaedia Britannica film about the charter and its history will be shown every half-hour in Strong Hall auditorium during the exhibit.
Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackman, who will present a lecture April 6, and area judges, School of Law faculty and the Board of Governors of
the KU Law Society will be given a special showing Tuesday.
THE COMMITTEE planning the exhibit is determining ways to deal with anticipated crowds of 3,000 to 3,500 people a day viewing the document, as well as methods of dealing with emergencies such as fire or tornadoes.
Al Johnson, assistant to the vice chancellor for academic affairs, is coordinating volunteers to serve as assistants for the exhibit. He said about 70 people, including students and University deans, had volunteered.
Council members say Carlin doesn't want input
By SARA KEMPIN and SUSAN WORTMAN Staff Renorters
Members of the University Council yesterday objected to the short time Gov. John Carlin gave the University of Kansas to respond to his request for more information about enrollment, curriculum and allocation of funds.
Council members said that because KU had only a little more than a week to respond, the faculty was denied the chance to contribute to the response.
Several faculty members suggested that the reason for the short deadline was because Carlin did not want their response.
ISSUE LETTERS are due in Topeka on Monday.
"I don't think it's any accident that it was put together this way," said Ernest Angino, council chairman. "I'm suspicious of the motives coming out of Topeka."
William Hogan, associate executive vice chancellor, said that despite the short amount of time available, he would prefer which response from faculty as possible.
James Seaver, chairman of the University Senate Executive Committee, said that the faculty had not been given time to respond to important issues.
"Given the time frames, I do not think they expected the faculty to have any input," he said. "We were cut out of that. That's no way to run a University."
ADMINISTRATORS have been discussed the issues for several months. SenEx will add suggestions to state legislative agenda. Ms. Droma will bring to SenEx today.
With Roger will be seeking to study
the council decided to prepare a
report next semester that would show the effect of the budget cuts.
“It’s important to point out that we are hurting for equipment,” said Chris Schneider, Kansas City, Kan., senior. Some schools can’t offer classes that need need. Some students won’t be able to graduate because they can’t get the classes.
James Carothers, council member,
said, "The administration has to take a stand. We're being called 'Make Due U.'"
IN OTHER business, the council passed an amended sexual harassment policy.
Clark offered $30,000 to play at Parents Day
Roy Clark, Grammy Award-winning country and jazz musician, has been asked to perform at Allen Field House next fall as part of the Parenta Day celebration, an athletic position spokesman said yesterday.
Mike Hamrick, administrative assistant to the athletic director, said the department had offered him a position in the band to the University of Kansas.
Parents Day is Oct. 22, when the KU football team plays Oklahoma State University. Clark has not yet signed a contract for the performer.
HAMRICK SAID Clark's agent told him that Clark would be tapping of television "the Bee Haw" during October, but that Clark could bring his band to Lawrence for the weekend.
Clark is also interested in playing at KU because he enjoys playing for college audiences and families, especially with kids. Rick said, Clark lives in Tulsa, Okla.
"Roy Clark is one of the premiere family entertainment artists in the country." Hamrick said. "I think
there will be a lot of interest in his show."
Last year, Bob Hope played for an audience of about 6,000 in Allen Field House for Parents Day.
Members of the Student Sports Council, which approved the entertainment for next fall, decided several weeks ago that the Hope show did not have the appeal that would draw students and their families to the event. The talent that would appeal to a cross section of students.
ANNE STUCKER, chairman of the council, said, "The sports council recognizes that Parents Day needs to be more than just a football game. That's why we're going for the type of entertainment that students can comfortably take their parents to."
The council also considered Rita Coolidge, Glen Campbell and Bill Cosby for entertainment. Clark was the only artist available for Parents Day that the athletic department could afford. Hamrick said.
Ticket prices for the Roy Clark Show will not be decided until the contract has been approved.
