Ribbon-cutting opens Holidome
By RICK DULLEA
Staff Reporter
A carnival atmosphere pervaded the new Lawrence Holiday Inn and Marriott, with the official grand opening of the $10 million 155,000-square-foot complex.
Hundreds of community members, dignitaries and media representatives attended the event, which began at 11 a.m. and concluded about 3 p.m.
"I think you can see what the future of Lawrence is in store for itself with this new Holiday Inn Holdome," said Richard Ness, president of the "of the ribbon-cutting ceremony."
Folz continued by thanking a long list of community leaders for their support
in backing the project during the planning and construction stages.
Executive Vice President Samuel Polack of Brock Hotel Corporation, owner of the Holdome, and Lawrence McCormick of Mexico also spoke during the ceremony.
"We're proud of the facility and proud of Lawrence and we certainly hope you will enjoy this facility as much as we enjoy be here," Ploack said.
Francisco performed the ribbon-cutting ceremony, with City Commissioner Barkley Clark and Polack at her side.
"This is a facility within the community, for the community said. It is not our responsibility."
This Wednesday, the Holidime will hold its first community event when the
Men's liberation author to speak on sex roles
The author of "The Liberated Man," who has been elected three times to the board of directors of the National Organization of Women, will speak at 6 p.m. April 7 in Wooldruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Mr. Farrell has worked in concert with the woman's *ib* movement, "Scott Degree, forum director for the Student Senate," director of the speech. The board is sensoring the speech.
Author Warren Farrell heads a men's movement called the Men's Coalition and has appeared on such television shows as "Donahue" and "PM Magazine." He has received accolades from many women's organizations.
University and San Diego State University." Durree said.
He has formed over 300 consciousness-raising groups and has taught his studies classes at Rutgers, Georgetown, American
Dupree said that Farrell frequently organized his speeches into four parts, including role-reversal techniques and a men's beauty contest.
The lecture will cover the stages of a man's life and male and female sexuality.
He said the role-reversal session would dramatize people taking reverse roles during a date and trying out their skills. He also expected especially concerning sexual relations.
Dupree said he hoped Farrell's lecture would draw an audience larger than the 250 people who saw Farrell's first soech.
"I think with the Equal Rights Amendment backers giving a last-ditch effort for the passage of the ERA, the Farrell speech is timely," Dupree said.
Lawrence Chamber of Commerce meets for its annual convention with more than 1,000 people in attendance.
The convention facilities at the Holideme include the Regency Ballroom, with a total of five rooms to seat more than 1,200 people.
Additional revenue that the opening of the Holidome is expected to bring to Lawrence will benefit more than just the motel industry, according to John Myers, director of the Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau.
For every dollar spent by tourists in Lawrence, 35 cents goes to hotels and motels, according to Myers. The other 65 cents goes to restaurants, clubs, gas stations, recreation facilities and other retail businesses.
The opening of the Holidome, at the corner of Second Street and the West Lawrence Turnpike Access Road, added 194 guest rooms to the total number of motel and hotel rooms available in Lawrence.
Several large meetings and conventions are already scheduled for the Holdome's first three months of administration, a meeting of the Daughters of the American Revolution, a district convention of Rotary International, a state meeting of the Kansas Trial Lawyers Association, and a meeting of city managers in Kansas.
The Holdime offers several recreational opportunities, including a polygonal swimming pool beneath the center of the dome.

Lubensky has two other current local displays. Since late February, some of his paintings have been in Murphy Hall as part of the "Festival of the Arus." Another display opened Friday in the Kellas Gallery, 7 E, Seventh St.

Lubensky has also had one-man or group displays at galleries in Washington, D.C.; Los Angeles; San Francisco; Kansas City, Mo.; and El Salvador.
"I don't care what you call me as long as you call me," Gerald Lubensky, KU associate professor who paints freelance, said recently.
In addition, Lubensky is planning to display the paintings at Green Hall in a one-man show this summer at an art gallery. He had also had several one-man shows in Quito.

A KU associate professor of art does not care that his abstract artwork in Green Hall has received criticism and the nickname "mini-Salina Piece."
"I seek to show my work anywhere," he said. "It doesn't do any good to have it clutter up a studio."
Although the paintings are for sale, Lubensky said this was not his primary reason for displaying them.
LUBENSKYS SECOND one-man show in New York City was on display for one month in the Andre Zarre Gallery before closing last week.
THE GREEN Hall paintings, for example, are the culmination of several years of work. The paintings were all done within the past year, he said, but are the result of repainting and revising old paintings.
Lubensky said he improvised when beginning a painting, but used definite constructions and forms by the time he was finished.

THE SALINA Piece is a sculpture by Dale Eldred, a sculptor at the Kansas City Art Institute. It was donated to KU and now sits on the West Campus after moving there in local location near the main campus said it was an eyesore and vandalized it.
Lubensky said that he spoke in February at the law students' regular luncheon forum, and the students seemed receptive to his work.
Several of Lubensky's acrylic-on canvas paintings are on display this semester in the student lounge at Green Hall.
However, he said he was not surprised or upset by the reaction or the nickname.
"I want to communicate with the viewer, stir his emotions and share my experiences and viewpoint with him," he said.
Some upset students and faculty have nicknamed Lubensky's display a "mini-Salina School," Michael Davis, dean of the KU School of Law, said.
Lubensky said he had not received any negative comments about his Green Hall display.
A painting usually takes two weeks, or 50-100 hours, he said, but part of his work is to make the paintings appear fresh and clear so as to seem random and chaotic.
"I've had more compliments from that Green Hall show than any other show." he said.
"The lay public should have more open minds" when dealing with abstract or unusual art, he said.
"I think the University and the community need to know how strong the KU art department is."
He said he had been trying to get more of his work displayed in public to receive national recognition.
Davis said the walls of the student lounge had been empty since Green Hall was built.
LUBENSKY SAID he was asked in January by Davis and Raymond Goetz, professor of law and an art collector, to dislouse some paintings in Green Hall.
"The problem for the artist in Kansas is where to show art and whether anyone sees it," he said.
"I don't want my work walked past," he said.
Lubensky said viewers may consider his paintings ugly, but they probably would miss them after they were taken down.

"It's pretty hard to communicate to someone with his eyes closed and ears tucked in."
"We wanted to add some color to the building," he said, "so we wouldn't always have blank walls."
Lubensky said he had also received negative comments about some of his other work. Because his father was a U.S. diplomat, his family traveled around the world, and Lubensky started displaying his work in the early 1980s when the family was in Latin America.
"One needs a certain amount of success to be viewed by the public," he said.
At a show in Bogota, Colombia, he said, he saw a big wad of spit in the middle of one of his paintings, but was not used over the reaction
The Lawrence Fire Department extinguished a fire at 3:25 a.m. Sunday at McCollin Hall that caused about $125 worth of damage.
Police said that the men were arrested in an Overland Park restaurant after another customer attacked them about the robbery and called police.
Overland Park police arrested three men Saturday in connection with the robbery of more than $1,500 early Friday morning from a Big Boy Friday morning from 40 rows 9 feet.
KU police said unknown persons set fire to trapped刷 in the south end of the second floor hallway. A cigarette may have caused the fire, police said. Police did not know whether the fire was due to an accident. There have no arrests.
The suspects, armed with a small caliber chrome revolver and a can of illegal cigarettes, allegedly employed about 2:50 a.m. Friday as they were dumping trash and followed
