... Room to display them doesn't exist . . .
The University of Kansas's Spooner Museum of Art displays only a small part of its collection.
Charles Eldridge, director of the museum, said that approximately 10 buildings are located in various buildings on campus. Items in storage include decorative ware, metal work, clocks and doll.
The conditions of the museum building do not allow many of the items to be displayed, according to Eldredge. The building, built in 1930, is a library and does not have the necessary control environment.
LACK OF SPACE also forces storage of some articles. Since there is a limited amount of space, most first rate quality are offered stored.
Among these are Edouard Mané's "Winter," young Yves Montenet, a landscape by Claude Monet, a watercolor and an oil painting by Winslow Holem. "La Plaîte" by Dante Gabriel Roosset is painted by Thomas Hurt Anton.
The temperature and humidity also affect the articles.
THE MUSEUM'S accumulation is from gifts as well as purchases that more than 50 per cent of the museum's collection were items from donors or funds purchased in funds given by individuals.
Eldredge said that items such as books had to be stored because they could not be exposed to light for an extended period of time.
Eldredge said, "The museum relies on this giving to help it improve its reputation. Accretion isn't as adequate for growth and quality as it was 20 years ago."
According to Eldredge, the art market has continued to rise over the years. He said the price of his sculpture rose 2,000 per cent, between 1987 and 2001.
"WHEN AUCTION prices make the front page of the New York Times, it means it is of
interest to people and newsworthy." Eldredge said.
The Boydell Prints, now on exhibition, were part of the project for the exhibition provided by the Thayers include a mahogany chest with wood inlay, etched glass, a black basalt tea pot and a mahogany side bowl.
One of the major contributors to Spooner Museum is William Bridges Thayer, according to the director.
Eldridge said that although the
market had risen in the last year,
he says they still gaines available and they were looking for the museum was looking for.
Study Overseas Offered By Architecture School

Foreign Studv Available
By PAM VINDUSKA Kansan Staff Writer
If a University of Kansas student is interested in studying in a foreign country, chances are that he will need a program to suit his needs.
The foreign study office in Strong Hall administers all study abroad programs in the University and determines whether a student is eligible to create in the program he wants.
Qualifications for most of the programs, according to J.A. Burke, associate dean of the university, are in the Sciences and director of the programs, are a “B” overall grade average and at least a “B” in all courses. Usually two college-level language courses are required in the language spoken in the country where the student is enrolled.
KU has six junior year abroad programs, four on regular basis, and four other programs that will begin either this fall or next summer. Burke
ANOTHER REQUIREMENT is passing a personal interview by a committee from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Most are foreign exchange programs, he said, and between 80 and 100 students take part in them each year.
The Big Eight universities cover the programs, and KU acts as the administrator. Students from all the Big Eight schools may apply for
OTHER PROGRAMS that began more recently are with the University of Poznan in Poland, the University of Leningrad in Russia, and the Center for Mediterranean Studies in Rome, Italy.
The first began in 1960 with the University of Costa Rica in San Jose, said Nurleir program director of West Germany began in 1963, and one was started with the University of Bordeaux in France one year later.
The latter, Burzle said, is not really a year program but lasts for one semester. It used to be taught as a semester course and become a semester program next spring. Emphasis is on science and evidence of Mediterranean studies.
Another program in Rome, in cooperation with the University of Alabama, will begin next week to study archeology and art history.
The two programs in Rome are open not only to students in Big Eagle University but also all universities in the American Universities Field Staff. These are KU, the University of Hawaii, the California Institute of Technology, Dartmouth College, the University of Hawaii, Indiana University, Michigan State University, Tulane University and the University of Wisconsin. KU is the coordinate of this nationwide university.
Sophia University in Tokyo, Japan offers a program that KU will be taking part in this fall. It is the first time the university and the University of Colorado.
Another new foreign exchange program, the only one of its kind in the country, will start this fall at the University of Scotland. Burkle said that unlike the other foreign universities, the University of Stirling will accept students from limited number, because of the nature of their education system.
SUMMER PROGRAMS will also start next year with the University of Exeter and Oxford University, both in England. Students there will be able to study for a full year at the University of Exeter.
countries, the education is more personal than it is in the United States. There are few lectures, there are warnings, are done mostly through flashcards.
The University of Leningrad exchange program is arranged by the International Education Exchange which is located in New York. Burzie said that about 100 leading universities belong to the Council.
He explained that in Scotland and other English-speaking
BURLE SAID that in all non-English study abroad programs, tuition of American students was fully paid by the foreign country's university or government. The majority of their own living expenses, which he estimated were between $2,000 and $3,000 for one year. He added that although these were foreign exchange programs, the United States did not pay tuition of the students from other countries.
Six weeks before the courses begin, students take what Burrie called a "crash course" in the country where they are studying.
"It is important to be linguistically prepared to study at these universities," Burzle said. The crash course is to teach students two college years of language study before studying abroad.
DURING THE CRASH courses, students live with families, as some of them do during their period of study. In Germany and Poland, they can live with families in Japan, Italy and Scotland most of them live in dormitories. In Costa Rica they only live with families.
Burkle said he thought the policy of living with families was beneficial.
Scotland, where language is no problem. In Germany the adviser stays only during the first semester.
"Students need as much exposure as possible to the culture. They really learn about it," he said.
In addition to the benefits of living abroad, many students who took a course offered in American universities.
For example, he said one student, a biology major, went to Germany to take a course called 'Tourism', which KU did not offer. She was so inspired by the course that KU was prompted to consider the possibility of adding a similar curriculum when she told them about it.
Most of the academic schedules correspond roughly to our yearly schedule and last from September to May. Exceptions are the Polish program that runs through the spring and summer, the Costa Rica program in December. In Germany the students have a two-month break from February to April, when they travel throughout Europe on their own.

"Most of them are, though," he said, because they like to finish their education in residence at the college. "I don't happen occasionally a graduate student.
"We try to maintain as much contact with them while they are abroad as we can." Burrle said
He emphasized that a student interested in studying abroad was not limited to the programs that are now in operation.
THERE ARE programs for studying abroad in just about every field, he said, including music, music economics, and so forth.
Burkle has been working in the program since it has been instrumental in establishing many of the programs now under KU's foreign study.
