Drs. Gendel and Buck . . sexual response topic
Human Sexuality Talk Attracts Large Crowd
About 400 people gatherere Thursday night in Woodruff Auditorium to hear the first in a continuing series of the "Human Sexuality Center" sponsored by the University of Kansas Commission on the Status of Women.
Speakers for the "Male Female Sexual Response" lecture were Dr. Evalyn Gendel, chief of maternal child care for the state department of health and Dr. Henry Buck, Lawrence gynecologist.
Both doctors discussed male and female anatomies and their relationship to sexual response. Dr. Buck said that sexual response has to be learned in order to have a successful sexual experience. Dr. Gendel stated it in another way, "Doing what comes naturally."
Masters and Johnson, who wrote "Human Sexual Response" and "Human Sexual Problems" were a constantly quoted source throughout the lecture. The two doctors have
done numerous studies in the area of sexual responses.
The Human Sexuality lecture facilitated a beneficial question and answer period.
TOPEKA (UPI)—Somebody goofed in the Kansas Revenue Department!
About 250 corporation income tax returns had been misplaced or lost, but most have since been recovered, it was revealed Thursday.
Kansas Revenue Department Loses Income Tax Returns
Raymond L. Barkley, assistant state revenue director, said the loss of the 1970 returns—not money, but only returns—was discovered as early as April. Since then, the department's
staff has been working to find them, he said.
"The state didn't lose any money, and as far as we know, no taxpayer lost any money," Barkley said.
He said about 165 of the returns had money with them, and all but about 16 of them have been located. The remainder are returns where no tax was owed, or where a refund was requested.
Atomic Blast Quenched Fire
MOSCOW (UPI)—The Soviets said Thursday they had used an atomic explosion to quench an oil well fire that had burned out of control for nearly three years.
The Young Communist League newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda described the blast, in 1966 near Bukhara in central Asia, and said data on it was being presented to scientists from the United States and other nations at a meeting this week in Vienna of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The mere reporting of a peaceful underground explosion—even four years late—was unusual for the Soviets. They did so only once before, last January, when a newspaper described experiments in blasting underground oil reservoirs.
A CASTLE IN LAWRENCE?
Probably few know the legend of the enchanting Castle Tea Room that reigns conspicuously on Massachusetts Street.
The Castle was built in 1894 as a home for J. N. Roberts, a retired Civil War general. He was a man of great wealth with an income from patents on wooden containers carved in the shape of a boat for retailing butter and lard.
Each of the fifteen rooms of the Castle is finished in a different type of wood. The dining rooms currently in use are elegantly finished in birch, cherry, oak, walnut, sycamore and pine. The wood carving was all done by hand by Sidney Endacott of England, a brother of Frank Endacott of Lawrence. Sidney Endacott became a noted sculptor and artist and some of his work is in the drawing room of the Lord Halifax home.
There are five beautiful fireplaces in the house, each a unique design with various colored marble and brick. The original dining room is very ornate with an unusual built-in sideboard and china closet. A recess cluster of mirrors and stained glass window above the fireplace gives the effect of an altar in a chapel.
The tower, which gives the old castle appearance, has a stairway leading to the third floor. Above the tower room is a roof garden which, in bygone days, was shaded with ownings and used during the summer months. The ballroom with spacious window seats on the third floor is available for private parties.
If you have never been inside the Castle Tea Room, come and dine in the only restaurant in Lawrence with such a beautiful historical and cultural background. The only way to really imagine it is to see it for yourself.
