Criticism voiced as sculpture takes shape
By MARK ZIEMAN Staff Reporter
Forty tons of controversy are being installed at the University of Kansas.
The controversy takes the form of "Salina Piece," a contemporary sculpture built in 1969 by Dilded Eldred, a sculptor who works for the Kansas City KU alumnus, commissioned the piece, and donated it to KU earlier this year.
Installation of the steel sculpture began yesterday in the field at the corner of 16th and Indiana streets. The steel sculpture resembles an upside-down table tilted on
one side and anchored by two, long, steel rods.
Many observers of the sculpture are not waiting for the installation to be completed before expressing their opinions of the piece. Already coming in to the Helen Foresman Spencer Collection of Art, the new owner of "Salina Place."
"If they like it, fine," Charles Eldredge, director of the Spencer Museum of Art, said yesterday. "If they don't like it, fine."
ELDRIDGE SAID the sculpture was a valuable addition to the museum
"God forbid everyone should like it," he said.
Everyone does not.
"It's ugly," said Dale Smith, KU facilities operations worker and one of the men in charge of installing the piece.
"It looks like the old Kaw River he tide they tore down at Leccompton," he said.
Terry Unfred, another worker,
agreed.
"It looks like a bunch of scrap iron," he said. "The only way it would be worth anything would be to take it to Kansas City and sell it for scrap."
BOTH MEN SURMISSED that such a trip would be too expensive, and therefore the University decided to place the piece on campus.
"I've always liked KU and thought I wanted to make the gift," he said yesterday.
This type of criticism concerns the donor of the piece. John Simpson.
Simpson said yesterday from the Shawnee Mission office that he donated the piece to the University because he had moved from his home in Salina and did not find room for the sculpture at his new home.
"I'm somewhat concerned about the criticism. Some of it may be a little frustrating, but once people will reserve comment until it's up, and not while it is unassembled.
"I think it's a great piece of art," Simpson said.
Canoe race on despite schedule problem
By JANICE GUNN Staff Reporter
Officers of the Association of University Residence Halls had a "big scare" Tuesday night when they thought KU's Residence Hall Canoe against Kansas State University might have to be called off this weekend.
K-State's Association of Residence Halls decided last April that the race would be held this Saturday and Sunday.
Tuesday night, K-State's canoe race chairman told AURH that he had made no arrangements for publicity on the K-State program. AURH's AURH social programming chairman,
Flash Smith, K-State's canoe race chairman told AURH that he wanted to postpone the race until the next Saturday and Sunday. Imber said. Later that night, Smith called AURH back and said that the race was on and
that he was going to try to publicize the race in three days.
"I'm mad," Imber said. "Both of us have been to be on since the middle of last April."
IMBER that he had KU's part planned for the last two months and that the race could not be postponed because he expected at least 300 parishioners to attend the race. The participants would be upset if the race were canceled, he said.
"Since we both have home football games this weekend, I suggested that maybe we should postpone the race," she said. "We never really wanted to cancel the race."
However, Smith said that the AURH officer he talked to misunderstood him and that he never wanted to postpone it. He would not say who he talked to.

race and publicity on that campus, but he failed to come through. Schneider
The chairman of the race at K-State was responsible for the first day of the
**SMITH SAID** it was his fault that the publicity was late but that he thought the number of people participating be the same as it was in previous years.
"I don't want to sound cocky, but I've been the chairman of this race for two years and I can organize this easily," Smith said. "I could run this thing tomorrow if enough people wanted to do it."
He said that he was not worried because students had called him since the beginning of the year and were eager for the race.
Imber disagreed and said the K-State's share of the work was not finished. He said that two AURH officers were going to K-State this week to help get teams and to organize the registration of the contestants.
"We had a big scare, but we're pulling their weight," Imber said. "We're going to do more than our share
of the work so we can pull this race off." Smith said that their help was unnecessary.
"Even though the publicity was late, I've got things under control here, and we're going to have a good turnout," Smith said.
Once the residence hall associations at KU and K-State get the race organized, the KU canoe racers will try again to win it. In the last ten races, KU was the only place and the KU has once only. Last year, K-State took first through four places.
IBER SAID that the racers from K-State had won more times because the race was more popular on their campus and it began on the river in Manhattan.
"We plan to take this it year," Imber said. "We have a couple of big teams that are working together."
"KSU has a head start because they know the river and highways by their town better." Imber said.
Fugitives elude police in southern Missouri
By United Press International
PIERCE CITY, Mo.—Three convicts who have left a trail of terror across two states yesterday disappeared into the weed-infested thickets of southwest Missouri, and are said to have hundreds of frustrated law officers.
"There're a lot of places to hide out there," said a Lawrence County sheriff's spokesman.
"It's heavily wooded in some places and hilly. Even the ditches along the roads are deep. You can walk across them, you could even spot you from the road."
SOME OFFICERS feared the fugitives might be headed out of the state, perhaps using railroad tracks or backpack beds as their roads to freedom.
"But it's just as likely they might be lost," the spokesman said. "It's easy to become lost out there."
During the late afternoon, officers converged on a pasture outside town where three men had been reported hiding in a grove of trees. Police said the sighting was also confirmed from an aircraft and at least one witness on the ground identified the men as the fugitives.
But despite hours of intensive searching, by nightfall the officers had little to show for their efforts. A few squads continued to search the fields with bloodhounds, but most retired to their homes for a few hours of rest or manned dozens of readblocks throughout the county.
anywhere. We'll just stay alert for another night," the storkman said.
MORE THAN 100 officers with bloodhounds and aircraft had spent the day searching the hardwood thickets southwest of Springfield.
The fugitives were the remaining three of seven inmates who escaped the Kansas State Penitentiary at Lansing Sunday, Aurora, Mo. police superior Boba Archer said her superiors were convinced they were still in the area.
"We've had no stolen car reports," she said. "We've checked every train going out. We're going to houses and boxcars and until we have a stolen car report, we're going to center our search in this area."
The three convicts, holding 52-year-old Grace Furlow as a hostage, exchanged gunfire with police at one of the roadblocks shortly before midnight Tuesday. Then they released wrecked her car and fled on foot.
FURLOW, who fed the three hungry convicts hash brown potatoes, corn bread and sliced tomatoes before driving them through the roadblock and being released, said, "They were the epitome of politeness. They never once threatened us."
A sheriff's deputy said more than 100 officers were using dogs in the search for Everett Cameron, Robert Bentley and John Kitchell, reported armed with a handgun, shotgun and possibly two other weapons.
The searchers were aided by two airplanes and two helicopters.

JESUS IS LORD!
Brad Butts (41)
Fullback
I was raised in a religious home and I asked Jesus into my heart at an early age. However, when I got to学猫 it started to do what I wanted. I just got to know the word "love" and its meaning. I have a personal relationship with Jesus because I had never made Him the object of my personal relationship with Jesus because I have completed our life.

my heart I had a real heartache and a lack of comfort. There was a real void there that the things of this world just couldn't fulfill. Then one night I was confronted with Jesus Christ and I knew I was looking at reality. I asked him to know Him personally. He has shown me that he lives and life without Him to know Him personally. He has shown me that he lives and life without Him to a living dead person. Now, he has fallen that void in my life. He takes it as his own life. He shows

At a high school All-American from St. Louis, Mia, I attended the University of Arkansas with great expectations in "biting" athletics. As a freshman at Arkansas, I spent most of my time playing for the next year in place for me. The next year what did begin to happen. I started to feel more comfortable playing basketball and that felt like something fell into place. But I knew there was something more life than just playing basketball.
So I learned searching for the truth and found out that the answer was total. That means I have to go back to my school and take I and I was going to be at point 0. I have come under the Lordship of
With the love that Jason has put in my heart I would like to say to all of the students and faculty members at the University of Kansas that it is time to start learning.
