SOME OF THE 53 BELLS for the Memorial Campanile are being unloaded from the truck that brought them from the Santa Fe freight yards after their arrival in Lawrence. The bells will be left outside the Campanile until they are hung. There is not much chance of their being carted off since the largest one weighs almost 7 tons and is 7 feet, 2 inches in diameter.
Crafton Traces State History Through Rifles, Bibles And Art
Kansas has undergone a tremendous change in the years since the first settlers came west.
That was the observation of Allen Crafton, professor of speech, in a talk at the senior dinner of the Hawkwatch society Wednesday night. One hundred and seventy midshipmen and guests were present at the affair.
"Your forefathers came to Kansas in the 1850's with a Bible in one hand and a gun in the other. They were taking no chances either way." Professor Crafton said.
He outlined the gradual decline of the ruggedness and lawlessness that typified Kansas in its early days.
"The bitter truth is that one phase of American life proved too much for the Jayhawker. That was the insidious force of American culture"
He listed four cultural agents as being directly responsible for Kansas' lapse into conformity. They were newspapers, schools, music, and painting.
The first newspapers were "wild, woolly, and uncurried, and in character with the Jayhawker," he said. "Then men like William Allen White and Art Carruth started putting out papers with ideas in them."
"Art works (first) found their way into the state by way of saloon keepers." These works took the form of gilt-framed nudes. Creative art on "fences, walls, and outhouses" followed. School authorities became perturbed over these from an ethical standpoint and subsequently formed art departments concerned with such "exciting" things as "cubes and flower arrangements."
The first music in these parts came from a "group of drunken Missouri raiders who had just finished their annual burning of Lawrence. That song, with appropriate words, is now known as the Alma Mater."
"In the early days, teaching was a simple, direct profession. The term was usually seven months, so as to give teachers a chance to work four months and save enough to teach the next term." But eastern influences infiltrated until now the school system is a complicated machine.
"Kansas has finally succumbed to culture. She has given in at last, and joined the American race."

By CLARK AKERS
Fifteen members of the Russian club and their 20 guests a ate a Russian dinner and attended Easter services at the Russian Orthodox church in Kansas City, Kan., April 28.
The Russian orthodox on a high hill overlooking the Missouri river in Kansas City. It is in early Russian style of architecture with several domes topped with Russian Orthodox crosses.
Russian Easter is celebrated at this time because of the difference between the Julian calendar introduced by Caesar and used by the Russian church and the Gregorian calendar commonly used today.
The dimly lit church and the tolling of a large bell gave a mysterious atmosphere to the service which began at midnight.
The Russian Orthodox church is
The priest, dressed in ceremonial robes, entered the church swinging a small pot of incense on the end of a chain. Already inside were men holding banners and the choir which sang Russian hymns. The congregation, priest, and choir remained standing throughout the three-hour service.
Three times during the service the congregation, carrying lighted candles and led by the priest and the choir, marched around the outside of the church along a path
The service was almost entirely in the Russian and Old Church Slavic language. During the ceremony, the priest chanted in Russian, "Christ is arisen," to which the audience replied in Russian, "He is risen indeed."
lighted by flares. This procession of over 100 persons was the most impressive sight of the ceremony.
The ceremony included the blessing of food. On a large basket of Easter eggs were painted the letters "X" and "B", the abbreviations for the Russian words meaning, "Christ Is Arisen."
During the final part of the service the church, previously dark, was brilliantly lighted.
The Russian club is composed of students taking Russian language courses at the University.
