Student Artists Create Despite Inadequate Facilities
By JEAN MORGAN
Kansan Staff Writer
A visitor to the third floor of Strong Hall would discover the beautiful Kansas art students professors, Splatores of paint, sketchnings and writing are found on walls, doors, lockers and water fountains. Students refuse and student projects clutter the hallways. The bathroom mirrors are covered in glass and the paint on the walls and in the sinks.
In the classrooms, trash takes up much of the space. Paper and discarded artwork have been thrown on the floor. Paint and drawings are found on walls. Paper and discarded artwork lines the walls.
Lack of space and proper facilities in the art department has an effect on the morale and performance of students, said Peter Thompson, associate professor of painting at Carnegie University. Dispersed insufficient facilities deterred him.

Art Classroom of Third Floor Strong
JIM WROLAND, associate professor of design, also said he thought that one of the art classes was the collection was the distribution of classes among different buildings. Art classes are held on the third floor of Strong Hall, Lindley annex, and Fowler Hall, Lindley Annex, Foundation and Fowler Hall.
"In the past five years, there has been no change in the art course enrollment because enrollment is determined by space. An increase in space is determined by enrollment, so if you want to increase your space, the department will not get more spaced." Thompson said.

Space and adequate facilities are needed for students to work and faculty to operate. Thompson will keep students are held in rooms which hold only 12 people. Therefore, many students do their work off
THE PINTING and sculpture department and the design department have been building buildings. This lack of unity gives the students a disjointed sense of experience. The students do not have a proper place to display their work, or to participate.
MANY PEOPLE do not realize the art department exists Rowland said, because it is so complex. The building that identifies the department. He said he would like one building for the department that would give conferency points to students According to the last University Planning Board meeting, the visual arts department is number one in the city.
He said he was pleased,
however, with the art library in
Watson Library, but would like
the library in the art department.
Because of lack of space, Rowland said art classes are held in lecture rooms that do not have the proper facilities. Art students must also transport many supplies from one building to another.
Students must work in the hallways. Rowland said, because

Derrick said that action might be taken in January to change the way food is prepared and welfare programs and issuance of food stamps, especially where
Derrick said that the food stamp program, which began in May 1870, allowed people to buy $1.25 a week of money." For every $1,000 received from the heels he said that the department issued approximately $2,000 worth of food stamps and distributed a place of cash at grocery stores.
Students who wish to reap the benefits of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's food stock in the future, said John L. Derrick, director of welfare for Douglas County, in a recent interview.
Students May Be Denied Use of Welfare Program
"ANY WELFARE CLIENT is subject to accepting a job if he is available. A student is not employment potential because his time is taken. For this reason an employee cannot receive welfare payments."
"Welfare eligibility is based on our health, we are pretty much restricted to foot clothing and shelter. We don't have a work permit or a welfare need. There are some special cases, however, such as medical hardships, for which we are required."
According to present regulations he said that students were eligible to receive food from other welfare programs, which provide monthly cash payments and reduced medical expenses.
in the country pays for them in the forms of taxes. It runs into millions of dollars. Where the money is stored and stored is obligated in the distribution.
DERRICK SAID THAT before a person can become eligible he must first fill out a "declaratory form" requesting financial information determined based on a person's total monthly income. If eligible a person could then purchase a quantity of food stamps, which would vary depending on the person's income compared to their total income.
"For example," he said, "if two persons living together make more than $150 a month, then they are not eligible. Two people making a little less than $150 can use stamps of stamps for $36. The less income that the two make, the better the deal on stamps they get."
Derrick estimated the number of University of Kansas students who received food stamps to be about 12,000, compared to that in a "family" there could be anywhere from one to five people. He said, however, that the persons in a "family" need more than $500 per year of age limit. The only restrictions that the Department of Agriculture placed on applicants was that they must have money to prepare the food," he said.
BECAUSE OF the manner in which the food stamp program of recent Department of Agriculture rule that prohibits hiring a welfare department employee said that it was difficult to know if the information, which applied to the declaratory forms was correct.

fraud, which is a felony, and they are subject to prosecution, if they do not provide authentic information.
However, he said, many students are not given the stimulus the need because of the summer, an exhibition at the summer, a professor displayed 24 designs from her classes, and all of them were stolen. Also, the Art Museum's exhibits are limited to those of its recent insurance policy.
"THE NEED for students to see each other's work is necessary for the stimulation of a whole department." Rowland said.
"At the present time we must take their word," he said. "Of course, they are committing
"There have been a few forms that we have checked out that haven't been just what the client indicated. When this happened we were told that the information they gave us was false then we close the case."
ALTHOUGH SHE could understand the mess in the rooms she could not understand why, she could not understand the hallways. More windows and sunshine for better lighting and a larger display of paintings should be exhibited in the kitchen, so every room to wash out brushes, instead of only one sink on the floor, the paint in bathroom sinks could be washed out.
THUS FAR NO LEGAL action, has been taken Derrick said, but he thought that in the future it would be a problem for people from giving false information. He cited a lack of funds and a shortage of help as reasons for his decision.
One art student, who was working on a project in the hall floor, said there were too many crowded conditions and old buildings in the studio, studios. The clutter, trash, and abuse of surroundings make the atmosphere gloomy, she said.
She thinks the third floor of Strong Hall is a depressing and frightening place that would see nothing beautiful about it.
"We've had a 20 per cent reduction in welfare payments over all Sept. 1 and we haven't seen any change," he said, help." Derrick said, "When you combine this with an increase in welfare and food stamp app applications just don't have enough people to check out cases. This calamity isn't restricted to Kansas. It is problem across the entire United States."
Derrick said that in the near future the Department of Agriculture might need to make revisions in the eligibility requirements for the food stamp requirements for the food stamp
"I think the Department of Agriculture is concerned with the little things that should have and what other resources a student has to acquire money," he said. "We do not come out soon, pertaining to the food stamp eligibility. The grapevine rumors are the parents would have to be blood related and that parents would be contacted to see how much money an applicant receives from them."

Alex Boyle, professor of design, and the lack of space affected the lack of space meant lack of equipment. One of his large classes must be separated into two rooms so he must divide his instruction time. More of a safety-type device for lockers, two many works have been stolen this year. Because there is a shortage of lockers, two students must remain locked in.
DEPENDING on the different type of classes, the mess can be distracting to students and teachers. Boyle said. He thought that a small cushion would be minimal custodial service. The custodian, he said, does the best possible job he can, but there is a shortage of custodial help. The custodian does the bare necessities, as the empty waste paper baskets.
Herb Friedson, instructor in design, doesn't think the morale of students is affected by the mess on the third floor. He thinks the amount of space is adequate for his classes. Better display materials, indeed, though, to enable students to see the work of others, he said.
