GHOST BY JERRY KNUDSON CAMPUS
When the typical Jayhawker sees the KU campus for the first time, he is impressed with the beauty of the buildings and well-kept grounds sprawling over Mount Oread. After he falls into the routine of hurrying to classes held in the same buildings, he is apt to ignore our scenic surroundings. They become just so many structures in which the inevitable lectures and tests are conducted.
This is true of other things: when our eyes grow accustomed to beauty they cease to see beauty. With this in mind, we set out to photograph the campus in a way it never appears to the human eye. Infra-red film and an "A" filter were used, with rather startling results. Blue becomes very dark, and greens and reds turn white.
Look at the campus through the lens of a camera. Then check on the way it actually appears the next time you head for class.
DYCHE TOWER is framed in seemingly tropical foliage. THE STUDENT UNION, seen from the Strong hall path.
THE CROSS on the silhouetted gable of Danforth chapel looms against a low-scudding spring cloud.
HE MUSEUMS of natural history and art look like medieval castles plunked down in some forest.
IT HASN'T SNOWED in May, but this whitened sidewalk scene looks that way.
STAR-TIPPED VENTILATORS on Fraser hall overlook the valley and Blue Mound.
