On a bright, warm day in April,
students folk dance and display oil
paintings and charcoal illustrations
in front of Wescoe Hall.
The grassy area in front of Flint Hall is covered with tables where more student artists are showing off colorful hand-made ceramic pottery and glass bowls. Watson Library, students are singing to the music of flutes and clarinets.
The scene is not a familiar one yet, out the Student Senate Cultural Affairs department.
To promote the University of Kansas and to benefit KU students, the Senate administration and the cultural affairs committee are planning a student arts festival for mid-April, Sharl Rogge, chair of the committee, said yesterday.
THE FESTIVAL will probably be on a Thursday and Friday so students can walk past the art displays and musicians on their way to class, Rogge said.
claims on their way to class, rattle seas.
The cultural affairs committee will decide at its meeting tomorrow where the festival will be, she said.
"We have to be careful of the noise with classes going on, but we're trying to keep it under control."
Mollie Mitchell, the other cochairman, said the committee had not received any information.
"The lecture series we have recently started, bringing John Houseman to KU and starting a student arts festival; are examples of what the cultural affairs committee can do if it chooses." she said.
LISA ASHNER, student body president, said many students were not interested in culture because they had never been exposed to it.
"It's a problem that students aren't interested," she said.
But if students have to walk by artists and musicians on their way to class, they might gain some appreciation of the dedication the artists have for their

artists a place to demonstrate their skills and to show their work, she said.
In the past, the University had an open house each spring where students could demonstrate their artistic talents.
"This hasn't been done in many years," Ashner said. "We feel that students don't have much of an opportunity to show off their work any
She said people hear about students who excelled academically, but a lot of people had no idea about what the fine arts students did.
Rogge said, "We want to have an umbrella festival which would include things like dance, ceramics, painting, music, clothing and marketing, music, a commercial shop and mime."
SHE SAID JAMES Moeser, dean of the School of Fine Arts, told her he
"The festival is a wonderful way for students to become acquainted with different art forms, and a good opportunity for the artists to share their work."
Rogge said the committee wanted to make the student arts festival an event.
She said the only question asked about the festival was how much Senate money would be needed to finance it. She said it would cost $500.
Ashner said, "If everything goes well this year, we could look into putting the students' artwork up for sale next year and also having the work judged."
The Senate's unallocated account is used to pay for emergencies or special expenses.
Earlier this month, Ashner vetoed a bill to guarantee $9,500 in Senate money to bring two Watergate conspirators to trial. The unallocated account was too low.

Legislative Roundup
Lady vote expected
The Senate will vote early this week on whether to confirm the nomination of Wendell Lady to the Board of Regents.

Gov. John Carlin had recommended that 4,000 people be dropped from the welfare roll and that they be awarded one final check of $100.
Panel to discuss water bill

The House Energy and Natural Resources Committee will to begin discussion on a Senate bill today that would more than double the rate paid by the city of Lawrence for water from Clinton Reservoir. The committee is scheduled to vote on the bill Wednesday.
The bill was drafted in a Ways and Means subcommittee and would require that the state's General Assistance Fund come up with nearly $9 million in additional revenue to keep people on the roll.
Salvadoran troops try to regain besieged city

The Senate approved the bill last week.
Panels to study gas bills

SAN SALVADOR, Ei Salvador — The military said yesterday 2,300 troops were trying to break through the rebel noose around the city of Suitoto, where residents have been cut off from the rest of the country for nine days.
The reports came as a rebel leader called for a cease-fire during Pope John Paul's visit in March. The rebellion commander, who asked not to be identified, said guerrilla forces "would be willing to enter into war" with the king, adding that a more permanent cease-fire could be part of the negotiations.
Although Defense Minister Jose Guillermo Garcia has not categorically ruled out a truce for the Pope's visit, the government must call the cease-fire themselves.
THOUSANDS OF residents have fled Sukitoto in boats across the Suichitan lake, the only remaining escape route, because the city 30 miles north of San Salvador is virtually without food, and the power after nine days of a rebel siege.
Some 2,500 troops, including the U.S.-trained Allacatall battalion, are backed by artillery, helicopters and airborne forces. Saitokito from the east, officials said
for the recent attacks on Suchitoto and Berlin.
"THOSE WHO have struck (Suchito) so many times and who have besieged it for more than a week can furnish reasons that, according to them, justify such an inhumane situation." Rosa said.
In his homily yesterday, San Salvador's Auxiliary Archbishop Gregorio Fellini said:
"But a Christian conscience . . . has to cry out for so many innocent people who lack water, who are frequently without electric service and each day have less food, who for these reasons are forced to abandon the city and risk their lives on the waters of Lake Sucheitan." Rosa said.
In San Salvador, Rep. Clarence D. Long, D-Md., of the House Appropriations Committee, said the rebels are "no longer a problem" and peace talks as a propaganda ploy.
NEGOTIATIONS "apparently are used by the communists as a synonym for a kind of surrender," said Long, in two-day faction-finding trip to El Salvador.
Long also said he was concerned about the lack of information reaching Congress on El Salvador's critical military situation.
"I'm very puzzled by it and I intend to find out the motivation when I get back home."
LONG SAID nearly $1 billion in U.S. military and economic aid in the last three years coaxed El Salvador's President to improve the human rights situation.

Dale Alwood earned his M.D. from the University of Kansas and moved west. He married in Wichita and then settled down amid the farms and ranches.
Within 10 years, he had a growing medical practice and five young boys to
The boys grew up, left home, and now all are学能 or practicing medicine.
His sons are Steve, 29, an intern in McCallister, Oka; Larry, 28, a resident in Wichita; Mike, 27, a resident in Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Eric, 24, studying at the University of Mo., and Jeff, 21, who will attend the College of Health Sciences in the fall.
"GUESS IT proves lack of imagination," Eric said yesterday. "Dad was a strong role model. I think we all consciously wanted to be like Dad."
Jeff is the fourth to attend KU and the third to study family practice.
"It's hard to say why we all wanted to become doctors," he said. "My parents never really pushed us."
His father said, "We never really encouraged them, but we're glad they decided to become doctors."
William Balfour, professor of physiology and cell biology, and Clark Bricker, professor of chemistry in the Department of Health, Jeff in his decision to try medicine.
Jeff said at least three of the sons intended to practice in western Kansas when they got out of school.
Jeff wants to return to western Kansas because of the need for doctors in that area. Eric said he would go back to college and work in a good environment for raising a family.
Steve took out a Kansas Medical Scholarship, which required him to pay off the scholarship or practice in a medically under-served area for a year.
He said he was planning to practice in western Kansas and would probably stay there.
Their mother, Helen, who is a registered nurse and sometimes works in her husband's office, said it was an experience having all her sons study medicine.
She said that she never would have dreamed that all her children would become doctors.
"It's a demanding profession, and they've seen it first hand. They know what they are getting into.
"We just wanted them to get a good education, and we're happy with their
Eric said that besides having six doctors, the family was not particularly different.
