BY JOHN FARLEY
Kansan Staff Writer
The student council for recruiting,
motivating and educating black engineers
(SGMRME) has helped to increase the freshmen enrollment of blacks in the School of Engineering by seven per cent in the last two years. William H. Willett, head of the School of Engineering, said Tuesday.
Smith said that the organization was
operated entirely by students in the engineering school.
Charles Lockhart, Chicago sophomore and president of the organization, said SCoRMEBE) provided free tutorial service for students enrolled in engineering who were having trouble with their studies. He said they also talked to junior and senior high school students in the Kansas City and Lawrence areas who were interested in
engineering.
OVERLAND PARK—A special two-hour college course in drug education under the auspices of the University of Kansas will be offered to teachers in the Shawnee Mission School District beginning in February. The Instructional Media Center said Tuesday.
College Drug Course Offered to Teachers
However teachers in the Shawne Mission District who take the course will receive
The course, which has been entitled "Educational Conference in Drug Education and Abuse," will be offered in a series of 14 sessions at Brookwood Elementary School, 103rd and Wenonga St. in Overland Park.
The works of 14 contemporary American artists, the most recent addition to the University of Kansas art collection, will be unveiled Sunday at Spooner Art Museum. The showing Sunday will be from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m.
Allen, who is curriculum specialist and coordinator of in-service courses for the district's special services department, said that although the course was designed in English, it is a Continuing Education Program. It would not be available to KU students.
The collection was purchased with a $10,000 grant from the National Endowment for Public Affairs. Private donors. The grant stipulates that at least some of the money be used to purchase works of living American artists, according to Robert Eldridge, director of the KU art museum.
The new collection covers a period from
1922 to 1972. Twelve of the 14 pieces were
done in 1972.
Art Museum Will Unveil New Exhibit
The purpose of the NEA grant is to encourage museums to actively acquire contemporary art and stimulate community interest in the works of American artists. The museum gave gone to the metropolitan museum. Eldredge KU is the third university to receive one.
"This is a great opportunity for us to fill out our contemporary collection and carry our Gene Swenson collection of 1960 work into 1970." Eldredge said.
The collection will be on display until Jan. 28.
Some of the more well-known artists and works to be included in the show are: a stainless steel and plexiglasx sculpture by Don Judd; an oil on canvas, "Nude with Flowers, Mirror and Skull" by Paul Wonell; an media piece, "Diary for a Day Monday" William T. Wiley, and an acrylic on canvas titled "showboat" by Robert Cottingham.
The next major show, planned for second semester, is an exhibit of the museum's large collection of antique American quilts. Patchwork, applique and stuffed quilts dating from pioneer days in Kansas will be on display Feb. 4 through 25.

"The objective of the course is to work with teachers who need a better understanding of the social aspects of the drug problem," Allen said.
Dr. Gordon Alley, associate professor in KU's School of Education, will teach the course. Allen said Alley was specifically chosen by the district because of his interest in the drug problem and because of his edge of the social aspects of drug abuse.
Allen said she knew of no other course similar to this one.
“As far as I know, it's the first of its kind,” she said.
Ted Gray, director of special services for the district, said Tuesday that specific details of the course had not been worked out yet.
"It's really still in the design stage," she said. "We're coming up with our problems before wedistrict."
Gray said special services personnel planned to meet with Alley next week to
The KU class is one part of a six-part educational program introduced by the University.
The Shawnee Mission school district had come under fire recently when the U.S. House Select Committee on Crime held hearings in October in Kansas City, Kans.
Rep. Claude Pepper, D-Fla., committee chairman, at that time criticized the district for its lack of initiative in trying to fight the drug problem.

They take courses in math, chemistry and physics on a credit basis, and computer programming and use of the slide rule, on a noncredit basis. Smith said.
THE PROGRAM is designed to allow a number of industrial engineers to explain to the students what engineering is like outside the classroom.
Lockhart said the organization also planned tours of various plants to allow the students to see first hand "what engineering is really like."
