Festival to Display Slavic Culture
A display of Slavic books and art will open today in the Kansas Union Gallery as part of the first University of Kansas Slavic Festival of the Arts.
The festival began Sunday with a showing
the Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors, "a
Russia Story," at the Orchard.
"The main purpose (of the festival) is to bring to the University of Kansas and the Lawrence area an awareness and appreciation of how rich the artistic life is in the Slavic countries," Gerald M. Eikelson, assistant professor of Slavic languages and literature and chairman of the Slavic group of the Arts committee, said Tuesday.
"THE SECOND purpose," Mikkelson said, to call attention to the highly visible threat.
During the next two weeks a variety of events will be presented as part of the Slavic Festival of the Arts. Along with films and music, the festival will feature dance troupes and a number of speakers. Speakers scheduled include two Russian poets, a Polish film director, the consulate minister of the Polish embassy and the associate editor of the New York Times.
"I THINK that some of these events really will appeal to audiences." Melson said.
It's the kind of music that will appeal to audiences—cool, fast moving and exciting.
"The films that have come out of Slavic countries in the last 10 to 15 years have been highly successful," she said.

POW Releases Aided By Antiwar Activists
As in the case of the September release, negotiators for the return of the POWs have generally not been from the S.I. government and members of various antwar groups.
Pledges by party candidates and a history of mud sling between the United States and North Vietnam have made the problem an issue in this campaign year.

The release of the three American prisoners of war in September of this year has been but part of the highlight issue in the 1972 presidential campaign.
The party accompanying Weiss and Dellinger included the Rev, William Sloane Coffin and Richard Falk, both active in the U.S. antiwar movement.

The North Vietnamese said they were releasing the prisoners to the three men to show North Vietnamese support of the plight of the African Negro and of the antiwar movement.

In 1969 Remi Davis, also a defender in the Chicago Seven triumph, was responsible for the downfall of his team.

KU Students to Attend Law Career Program
Brooks said plans still were being formulated for programs to discuss career possibilities in the behavioral, social and business aspects and architecture and engineering.
One of the goals of the KU career programs is to give students more information about various careers, so that when it comes time to decide a major, the students will feel more comfortable in their decision. Brooks said.
The programs were designed to aid students at an early point in their college career, he said. It is primarily geared to freshmen and sophomore students.
The purpose of the program is to give a more human approach in disseminating information about the educational requirements for professional fields and explaining what it is like to function in the field professionally, Hanson said.
Seventy-five students have been invited to attend a law career program Thursday in the Kansas Union, according to Ellen T. Hanson, assistant to the dean of men.
Other panelists are Eugene Moore, Kansas City area lawyer; John Murphy, professor of law who specializes in international law; and James L. Postma, Lawrence lawyer, who is associated with the Legal Aid Society.

Members of Thursday's panel will include Mary Beck, Council Grove third year KU law student; and Carroll Grant, associate clerk for institutional in specializes in constitutional and Indian law.
Jim Brooks, assistant dean of men, said that invitations were based on questionnaires randomly sent out last summer to students who had indicated an interest in the law program and who had not selected a major.
