Coeds Enroll in ROTC To 'Aid Communication'
Two KU coeds have enrolled in Army ROTC as a "constructive alternative to throwing rocks," according to Sue Wilson, Kansas City, Mo., senior.
Miss Wilson and Beverly Pryce, Stockton, N.J., sophomore, are enrolled in one ROTC course, "The Development of Defense Establishment." It is a liberal arts and sciences course, and therefore open to both men and women. Neither Miss Wilson nor Miss Pryce is involved in drill or marksmanship classes and neither wears an army uniform.
The women agreed they did not plan to disrupt the class in any way, but hoped to establish communication between themselves and the men in the ROTC program.
Miss Wilson, who called herself a pacifist, said she is sure that because of the word "pacifist" she has been stereotyped, just as she had stereotyped the men involved in ROTC.
She said she hoped these ideas could be dispersed and a sharing of ideas could develop between the two factions.
"If I think the book is wrong, I will say so, and if I think the teacher is wrong, I will tell him so," said Miss Wilson. "If the course cannot stand up to that like every other course should be able to do, then ROTC has no business on campus."
Miss Pryce explained, "I enrolled in the course only to find out for myself exactly what they are teaching. My enrollment should not be construed as any kind of support for the ROTC program."
She added that although it is too early to make any judgment of the course, if she thinks later that it was worthwhile, she may take another ROTC course next semester.
Artist Carves Future
Brian Lingle is a working artist. At night he works as a janitor in Haworth Hall from 5 p.m. until 2 a.m.; during the day he is a part-time art student.
New Building Opening Set For January
Directors of Nunemaker College hope to move into their offices in the new Nunemaker Hall sometime in January.
Nunemaker Hall, now being constructed on Daisy Hill, was financed with money donated by Miss Irene Nunemaker. College administrators hoped that the building would be completed in time for classes this fall. However, a strike delayed construction, Delbert M. Shankel, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said Thursday.
When finished, the building will house Nunemaker College offices, seminar rooms, meeting areas, a small library area and an apartment.
Thomas M. Gale, a director of Nunemaker College, said that the college is presently using office space in the basement of Hashinger Hall.
Gale explained that the offices were moved to Daisy Hill in order to better accommodate the students in the college-within-the-college. Most of the students live in Hashinger, Lewis and Templin residence halls, and some off-campus housing facilities. A few students also transferred to Nunemaker College from the now non-existent Corbin College, Gale said.
His latest sculpture, which was turned down by the Omnibus shop in Lawrence and by Haworth Hall, is the head of an aloof philosopher done in manure. It is now being displayed in Hutchinson, Lingle's home town.
Referring to the sculpture, Lingle said, "People are hung up on fleshy things. They are so hung up on the material the head is made of they fail to see the soul of it. Although it may be beautiful, people see only the material."
Lingle said he enjoyed his work as a janitor because it provides time to think. He can work at his own pace and it keeps him disciplined.
"When I get up I have all day to work on my art. It's not like working until 5 p.m. and then going home because then you're too tired to work. My job gives me lots of time to do what I want," he said.
Lingle said he liked school because there are so many people with big futures planned. "It gives the whole place an atmosphere of hope," he remarked. "I mean with 17,000 people hoping—that's a lot of hope!"
Lingle said his paintings, which are on display in Haworth Hall, are the result of an infinite number of solutions to each problem.
"With an infinite number of solutions to every art problem, one of them has to be mine," he said. "I just have to keep looking until I find it."
He described his paintings as non-shadows. "I crumple a canvas and spray it. The paint is like the source of light, except instead of lighting, it darkens what it touches directly and casts light places."
Senior Class Party Set
The senior class will hold its first party Friday night in the newly remodeled Red Dog Inn. The party will be from 8 p.m. to
Stone Artifacts Studied by KU Anthropologists
1 a.m. and will feature "The Rising Suns" and "Together."
More than 25,000 artifacts, consisting mainly of stone tools estimated to be 20,000 to 24,000 years old, are coming under the study of KU anthropologists this fall.
The tools were returned to KU by student excavating teams working at a site near Bordeaux, France, during the summers of 1967, 1968 and 1969.
This year Anita M. White, associate professor of anthropology and project director, will lead her assistants in cataloging and mapping each of the sites. They will also analyze each tool to determine type, consistency and age
Mrs. White said she hoped to complete the project by next June. When analysis is complete, the artifacts will be returned to France for museum display and storage.
The party will be open to seniors and their dates only, Jim Nichols, Hiawatha senior and class president, said Thursday. Seniors do not have to have a date to be admitted.
To be admitted, a senior must pay his $10 class dues when he picks up his ticket or sign an agreement stating that he will pay his dues with his fees. Tickets may be obtained at the information booth on Jayhawk Boulevard or at the Red Dog Inn Friday night.
When a senior gets his ticket he will also receive his calendar and a form for nominating his candidate for the Hope Award. University administrators will be eligible this year for the first time, Nichols said.
Nominations are due Sept. 11 in the Dean of Men's Office or the Alumni Office in the Kansas Union.
