Grant to expand museum use
A $20,000 grant from the National Endowment Association will expand the use of the Helen Foreman Spencer Museum of Art. Martha W. professor of art at Columbia said yesterday.
The grant will provide funds to incorporate the original art available at the museum into regularly scheduled class sessions for 12 humanities courses.
"The benefits for the students would be a revitalized class. The program would offer a whole new visual component to the humanities program." Stokstad said. "I have found that today's students are more visually oriented than those in the past."
The 12 courses would be selected on a competitive basis. Stokstad said. Ap-

are due from humanities instructors on Oct. 14.
A total of $12,000 will be spent on 12 $1,000 grants to pay the instructors for the extra time involved with participation in the program, she said. The grants will be similar to a fellowship, except that only one KU's faculty will be eighth for selection.
Stokstad said the program would begin during this year and consist of three arguments.
During the first phase, the museum will conduct a workshop for faculty members participating in the program, she said. The purpose of the workshop will be to familiarize the instructors with the services and learning aids available at the museum.

Hall said the salesman told him that a shipment had been on its way to a federally subsidized agency in this area when the agency lost its federal funding and that the company was willing to sell the bulbs to save shipping costs back to Washington.
"They tried to sound like a government agency," Hall said.
He said he did not buy any bulbs because he had heard about another light bulb company that used questionable sales practices earlier this month.
THE COMPANY, Liberty Industries Service Company (LISCO) of Tustin, Calif., is currently being investigated for its sales impersonation and its assistant secretary general, said Friday.

Some local fraternities had been told they would receive a free watch because they had been good customers in the past. However, most of the fraternities said they had never done business with the company before.
Kroeger said the sales methods used by the three companies were not unusual for him.
"To protect against fraudulent telephone sales, write down the salesman's name, the address of the company and a phone number where you can call back after you've thought about the offer," she said. "I wouldn't give you the information, hang up."
Kroeger had 18 persons called CAA to ask if the sales were legitimate. Three others had called to complain about the coupon books.
"We tell them they are selling coupon books, but that we don't think it's a good idea."
Cindy Vasil, Newton, Mass, sophomore, said she bought a coupon book last week but intended to get her money back because she was told there were coupons in it for free dry

cleaning. She said she found only discount coupons when the book was delivered.
"I probably wouldn't have bought it if I had looked it over," she said.
Another problem arose with the coupon books when buyers found that Country Kitchen restaurant, 1505 W. 23rd St., would not honor the coupons for free dinners.
Earl Culver, manager of the restaurant, said last week he was not bound to honor the coupons because the previous owner had made the contract with Consumer Sampler Co., the business that is selling the books for WDAF.
Glen Culver, manager, said yesterday that the coupons for free dinners that had been included inbooks already in circulation were not being accepted to the coupons from future books sold.
A symposium at the end of the semester will be the final phase of the program, Stokstad said. The art history department will meet with the instructors and other people involved with the program to discuss its successes and failures.
The second phase will be the actual implementation of the program, with the instructors conducting at least one-third of their classes in the museum (usel, she said).

Occupational licensing, originally designed to protect consumers, is often used to maintain monopolies and pass inflated prices on to consumers, Morris Kleiner, assistant professor of business, said Monday.
Kleiner recently returned from a year of research work for the Brookings Institute in Washington, D.C., where he and three other scientists examined the data and compiled an analysis of the labor market.
Job licensing abused, prof says
Reilner said the purpose of the study, which was done with the Department of Labor, was to discover the impact of occupation on labor market from an economic viewpoint.
Occupational licensing is the concept of requiring people in certain occupations to obtain licenses before they are permitted to work in such occupations such as dentistry and law are licensed.
DAVIS, Calif. (UPI)—Rita Clancy, a Russian immigrant who challenged the state in a reverse discrimination suit, was admitted yesterday under court order to the University of California Medical School at Davis.

Mrs. Clancy, 22, who immigrated from Russia seven years ago, enrolled at the same medical school where white applicant Allan Bakke sought admission but was turned away in a case now before the U.S. Supreme Court.
Her husband, Patrick, an attorney, was with her when she registered privately in the California courts.
U. S. District Court Judge Thomas MacBride Friday granted a temporary order allowing Mrs. Clancy to register and bead classes.

Bakke was denied admission to the UC Medical School five years ago. Like Mrs. Clancy, he maintained that he was denied admission to a qualified minority persons were accepted.
He said the ruling, made after university appeal, was issued for the "express purpose" of permitting the university to continue its special minorities admissions program pending disposition of the Bakke case.
"EVERYBODY'S getting licensed these day even midwives." Kleiner said.
"ms. Clancy, who was graduated from UCLA with an "A" average, contended she was first denied admission to the medical school because 16 of the 100 openings were reserved for minority and disadvantaged applicants.
"In states that may have a shortage of doctors, doctors from other states can be refused a license to practice in that state. The fewer doctors in the state, the more they can charge because people have to have doctors.

on the other. "For consumers it's a bad deal. They have to pay more normally would they have a normal competition."
Kleiner said occupational licensing is done through testing, interstate travel, or certification.

Kleiner said there had been a dramatic increase in the number of groups asking to be licensed in the past 10 years, and now all types of occupations are licensed.
Kleiner said Congress was just beginning to improve licensing regulations.
"I am happy to be here," she told reporters as she left the administration building and headed for her first class in molecular biology.
