Salina Piece stored on West Campus
By ANNE CALOVICH
Staff Reporter
Those waiting to see "Salina Piece" in all its glory will have to wait a while longer.
It has been almost a year since KU alumnus John Simpson donated the 40-ton black steel structure to the Helen Foresman Spencer Museum of Art. "Salina Piece" is now lying "storage" on West Campus, according to Tom Anderson, director of facilities operations.
ROBERT COBB, executive vice chancellor, said yesterday that specifics had not yet been worked out, but that the sculpture would be erected on West Campus sometime in the spring.
The often-maligned sculpture is the 1969 creation of Dale Eldred of the Kansas City Art Institute. It was originally destined last June for a triangular grassy corner at the southeast corner of 18th Street and Sunflower Road, where it became the object of protest and vandalism.
People living in the area protested that the sculpture was unsigely and unsafe, and a group of alumni

organized to protest the choice of the site and land as the site for the large sculpture.
The "Salina Piece," the sculpture that couldn't find a home last semester, has found a temporary resting place in storage on West Campus. The sculpture will be moved to a permanent location in the spring.
Vandals defaced the sculpture twice, painting on its surface such phrases as "Take me away" and 'I am an eyesore.'
But Jeannette Johnson, administrative assistant to the executive vice chancellor, said that people who work in the particular plot were satisfied with the move.
DAVID HOLROYD, who led the alumni protest, said that he had no more qualls about the sculpture since the University decided to move it.
Cobb said that no decision had been made yet, but that he and Budig, along with advisers, were to decide the exact location for the piece on West Campus "in a manner consistent with Simpson's philanthropy and Eldred's artistry, and we also have a responsibility to the public."
