Parks to speak at luncheon
Gordon Parks, a nationally published author and a native of Fort Port, will speak about what the American dream means to blacks during a luncheon tomorrow in the Kansas Union.
Arthur Drayton, director of the department of African studies, said yesterday that Parks had grown up in a rural village and wrote about the "black experience" in his book.
"He's perhaps the most outstanding black in Kansas," Drayton said.
Parks, who dropped out of high school because of poverty, will be the keynote speaker at the luncheon. PARKS HAS written six books.
For his book "Flavio" he won the 1977 Christopher Award.
He also wrote "The Learning Tree" and subsequently directed the movie based on that book.
From 1948 to 1972 he was a photographer for Life magazine and in 1963 he won the American Society of Magazine Photographers Award.
or Magazine photographer's Award.
He has directed several movies,
including "Shaft," "Shaft's Big Score"
" and "The Super Cubs."
Parks' speech is part of a conference on "The American Dream in Kansas: A Black Perspective," financed by $7,500 grant from the Kansas Committee for the Humanities.
Nunemaker Center will be the center for the honors program of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences next year, forcing an intensive study course now taught there to move out, KU officials said this week.
By DAVID POWLS Staff Reporter
THE FRENCH department has used space in Nunemaker for 12 years to teach its 16-credit intensive French
Change at Nunemaker forces French course out
The course, a French course, will not be offered next fall, because there is no other place to teach the class, said David Dimeen, professor of French and Italian, who coordinates introductory French courses.
course. The course teaches the equivalent of two years of the language in one semester and usually has about 20 students enrolled.
"Nunemaker is an ideal place to teach this kind of course because students who take it usually do not enroll in other courses." Dineen said. "We light and scramble for space, we just aren't going to teach the course next fall."
He also said next year's preliminary budget figures for the French department would make it hard for him to find extra time to teach the course
David Katzman, director of the College's honors program, said that scheduling more honors courses in Numemaker would increase the number
of students who benefit from the building.
"Space is one of the hot topics now," Katzman said. "It's as heated as anything else on campus."
He said that since the College records were moved to Strong Hall in February, space in Nunemaker had not been used efficiently.
KATZMAN SAID that nine or 10 honors courses and several Western Civilization honors courses would be taught in Nunemaker next year, and that the center would have room for the French course in Nunemaker during next year's spring semester.
This year, two honors courses are taught at Nunemaker and about 10 honors tutorials are taught throughout the day and in the evenings.
THE CENTER, built in 1971, was originally used for intensive language programs, an independent study tutorial program, and an experimental program intended to provide better advising for freshmen and sophomores by dividing the college's advisers into five groups.
That program lasted until 1975 Freshmen are now assigned advisers when they enroll.
