Chapel Serves All Faiths
By VICKI FERRELL Kansan Staff Writer
Danforth Chapel, a modest rustic building between Fraser Hall and Spooner Art Museum, in the early 1940s. Leonard Axe then dean of the School of Architecture at the University Chancellor Deane W. Mallott located the stone, and German prisoners of war working on the construction to bring it into the University.
The chapel was dedicated on April 2, 1946, "to give wisdom, strength and courage to those who seek resurece there."
Students can find quiet to contemplate problems. Couples of all faiths are married in small ceremonies.
The Danforth Chapels, found on several campuses, were initiated by William H. Danforth, founder of the Ralston Purina Company in 1954 and in 1960 established the Danforth Foundation to provide scholarships and fellowships to make possible teaching careers based on spiritual values.
The organization then offered funds for chapels on many campuses, and giving a full sum because he believed the university people should help earn things for themselves. The contributions contributed $5,000 to the chapel here and the remaining $40,000 came from faculty, students and alumni.
Edward W. Tanner, a Kansas City, Mo. architect and also first graduate of the University's architecture department, signed the quiet retreat in memory of his mother, Harriet E. Tanner after talking with Catholic, Jewish and Protestant leaders in building so all faiths could use it.
Many of the furnishings, including the stained glass windows, carpet, song books, organ and altar set, are memorial gifts.

"May, June and January are usually the busiest months," she said. "Not many people realize this, but to be married in the chapel, you must be connected to the University in some way."

A $5 charge for maintenance is the only fee required for the ceremony.

The fraternity has sent questionnaires to 400 Kansas newspapers and radio and television news organizations information involving problems in acquiring access to public records. Results of the questionnaires will be sent to the advisory general's office for a ruling.
The questionnaire asks who was seeking access to the records, who denied the access, who had already read the record for wanting to see the records, which records were withheld and which records were under which the denial was given

Boardwalk Graffiti Shows Humor, Artistic Impulses
By TERRY SHIPMAN
Kansan Staff Writer
Friday night a picnic supper will be served. Later that night "tightening" the audience involvement, will be performed. Before bedtime the group will break up into small groups and get to know each other.
It takes about 230 steps to travel from one end to the other of the Wesco Hall Memorial Boardwalk. Each one of those steps can be an experience if you take the stairs and walk. Since the boardwalk was constructed last June, the products of humanity's innate urge to "write on the bathroom floor" have been steadily accumulating.
For certain members of our society, this urge is manifested in the use of letters possible, the two-word inscription so often seen on walls. Others, fortunately, integrate the imaginations to varying degrees, producing entertainment (or at least for travelers) along the walk.
Some of the other humorous (or sick) scribblings are: "Custer wore Arrow shirts"; "Lung cancer cures smoking"; "Dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get through times of no dope"; "Money is the religion of the masses."
identically "humorous" . . . Karl Marx's grave is a Communist plot, "to very serious religious slogans. There are more of these in
Quotes from poems, songs and popular books are also profusely used in religious texts, and "Lord of the Rings" infiltrates several of the mountainous regions.
Many writers are inspired to be fluent in English, or just "Hi" on the white plywood wall, which seem to beg for something, anything, to help them communicate.
Some of the authors seem, like the walls, to need something for their emptiness:
"Sometimes I live in the country.
Sometimes I live in the town.
Sometimes I get a great notion.
To jump in the river and drown."
Fewer racial and political弱者 than one might expect, but there are some, including anti-Nixon comments and few radicals in the party.
Ecological messages are also sparse, as interest in the subject seems to have waned somewhat, with only one panel devoted to the conservation of buffalo, and to problems of air pollution
The over all impression left by the writings on the boardwalk is light and happy, but part of that could be due to the efforts of the Buildings and Grounds crew, who already paint over profane.
The decorations are not limited to written material. There are many illustrations, ranging from fine paintings to some fairly good paintings.
Many of the better paintings are from the KUOK 'Color Your World' series to fall. The winning picture by the way, is the one with the giant beer bottle on a blue background. Someone apparently noticed the blue background on the boardwalk, and proceeded to rectify the condition by meticulously painting plug-ins at various angles along the boardwalk. School spirit drawn on the boardwalk by paintings, primarily some blue Jayhawk traks. A few purple KSUs are painted in random locations.
Miss Lewellen, who attended the camp last year, said it was a hard experience for her perseverance from which she developed new interests.
Saturday night, W. C. Fields and Buster Keaton movies will be shown. Also, folk dancing will be taught by a KU dance instructor. Sunday morning has been for clean-up and goodbyes.
When you walk along, reading the graffiti and looking at the pictures, it is hard to resist adding something of your own. But then, why resist? Go ahead and write. Go ahead and draw. If your pen falls, Descene, however, you run the risk of having it painted over soon.
The boardwalk has already been the victim of two automobile crashes both with only minor injuries. One driver was content to merely strike the boardwalk, but the other had his small car the length of it.
The boardwalk is many things to many people, but no matter who you are, it has something for you.
The youths told police that an older man stopped the assault and helped them to leave the area. No money was stolen.
Boys Attacked
People can still register for the encounter in the KU-Y office in the Union. The price of the camp and the meals $8.50.
Saturday's agenda is flexible. People may play football, soccer, frisbee or attend the encounter with a friend. They have been planned by human relations people. The encounter involves a group of people to facilitate group interaction by both verbal and nonverbal communications, said Miss
