Med Center fund increased by KC family
By Terry Bauroth Kansan staff writer
A Kansas City family has donated $1.5 million toward the $3 million necessary to build a facial rehabilitation center at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Dwight and Norma Sutherland and Robert Q. Sutherland have pledged the money which will be used to build the Sutherland Institute for Facial Rehabilitation.
"We don't have all the money, but it is bipoled that the challenge money will be raised by the end of the calendar year," D. Kay Clawson, vice chairperson for the Med Center, said.
The facility will expand the Todd L. Sutherland Microsurgical Center, which was named for Sutherland's son. The center offers treatment when disfigured by birth defects or by accidents.
"There was a need to bring together a coordinated program under one root," said Dwight Sutherland, chief executive officer of Sutherland Lumber Co. in Wichita, and instructor including hearing, orthodontics, speech and psychological therapy, and family counseling."
John M. Hiebert, chief of plastic surgery,
said they were in the hospital to be built on the

southeast corner of the Med Center campus.
Dwight Sutherland said driving from place to place to meet with one specialist and then another made it hard for the patient and the family.
"It was difficult to get the patients through it without devastating them," Dwight said.
Clawson said the new center would provide patients with the opportunity to receive treatment.
with the specialist without a long walk between meetings.
"The facility will include individuals most necessary for total facial rehabilitation." Clawson said. "That includes plastic surgery, dentistry, pediatric medicine, psychology, hearing therapy, pathology, dermatology, genetics, neuroscience, and ears, nose and throat, among others."
"The Sutherlands experienced the frustration of being young wonder and don't want to have to have that," she added.
Hiebert said in addition to head and facial repair, the institute also will do body reconstr
Ad Astra monolith to be built at Burcham Park

Ad Astra ner Aspera
Not only is this Latin phrase the Kansas state mote, which means to the stars through difficulties, it also is the title of a 12-foot limestone sculpture to be built at Burcham Park.
Ad Astra per Apersa, a grow,
sculpture, is one in a series of activities leading up to the third annual Kansas Sculptors Association Stone
Guild. April 2 and October 1, 2 and 4 at Burchem Park.
Sculptures from all over the Midwest
will be there and may help with the 12-foot piece.
The designer, Elden Tefft, professor of sculpture in the School of Fine Arts, said it shows the relationship of human form to monochrome, with two human figures. At the base will be some wheat, and as the vegetation grows, it will turn
Teftt said the sculptors would begin work on the limestone this Saturday and expected the work to be completed within two years.
"I call it my ecological piece," he said. "When you're talking about the
environment, you're not talking about the dust outside your door, but the whole universe."
The piece of limestone is 13-feet long and weighs approximately 14,625 pounds.
"We need to keep it as tall as possible because of the tall, very old trees at the park. This is such a place, we need to bring next to the river." He said.
The stones for the symposium, donated by Bayer's Quarry of St. Marys, Kan, were delivered during yesterday's rain.
The wet weather didn't interfere
with the delivery, but the forklift teetered in the drizzle, as the weight of the stone on the front lifts fitted into it. The man's arm made the front tires look almost flat.
The Lawrence Parks Department furnished the heavy equipment needed to move the stones.
George Observe, superintendent of parks and forestry, said the equipment couldn't have been used for the rain at 10:30 a.m. yesterday.
Jeffrey Arsenault, Chicago senior, is the foreman in charge of the sculpture.
"He is the only person in the school who is really interested in stone," she said. "I wouldn't have done it. I'm so involved in working with bamboo, and I am interested."
Arsenault spent 1986 in France at the Laceste School of the Arts in France, and at the Studio Arts Center International in Florence, Italy.
"Limestone has a lot of advantages. It doesn't have a grain to it, like marble does. You can go pretty much any way without brushing it."
Stone is his favorite medium to work with.
SEATTLE — The University of Washington temporarily stopped cutting down trees on campus after the buzing of chain saws brought hooks of protest from students, faculty and others.
"We had a nice grove of trees, said Roger Sander, special adviser on education at the Husky University of Education, of the Husky Student Union yard, where 65 tall tree
"People are just shocked and genuinely hurt when they see what is going on."
Of the 81 trees targeted, 65 were cut down and 10 were transplanted. The removal of six others was blocked by protesters Wednesday, said university spokesman Bob Roseth.
The trees were being removed to clear the area for a $36 million five-story expansion of the university. The trees will be planted. Rossed said.
