Writer to talk show new film
Novelist and historian Truman Nelson will come to the University of Kansas this week for a three-day visit that will include the premiere of his new film, a reading from his works and a public address.
Nelson, who lives in Newburyport, Mass., is active in the civil rights movement and has known such civil rights leaders as W.E.B. DuBois, Malcolm X, and actor Paul Robeson said Fred Whitehead, a staff member at the University of Kansas Medical Center, yesterday.
Nelson will speak for a short time during the evening's program, which will be attended by the film's director, Robert P. Whitehead, and Whitehead, the film's producer.
"He debated Martin Luther King," Whitehead said. "He (Nelson) felt that non-violent resistance was not the way to go."
Nelson's visit will begin with the world premiere of the film, "John Brown in Kansas," which he narrated, the Council Room of the Kansas Union.
The film, parts of which were filmed at KU, is based on Nelson's book, "The Surveyer," which Dubois said gave a picture of John Brown resulting from intensive studies which no one but Truman Nelson has ever made."
The 70-year-old author also wrote a pamphlet called "A Torture of Mothers," an oral history of six youths, called "the Harlem Six,""accused of slaying a storekeeper during the 1964 riots in Harlem.
Nelson will give a reading from his published works and his work in progress at 8 p.m. tomorrow in the Forum Room of the Union.
A semi-documentary film, based on the film, will be shown after the John Brown film.
He will also give an address, "The Abolitionist and Civil Rights Movement: Past and Future," at 8 p.m. Wednesday in the Council Room.
"He really is quite a Tolstoy figure," Whitehead said. "All three nights are of great interest."
Residence hall phone service charges will increase after the University of Kansas switches over to the new Centre II system, but "you don't have to fool the bill, J. W.ILLson, housing director, said last week.
By JANICE GUNN Staff Reporter
The three-year Centre II conversion will be completed Dec. 19, and residence hall rates will increase by the beginning of next year, when they will be covered by service charges. Students pay only for their long-distance bills.
Southwestern Bell installed touch-
phone phones in all eight KU residen-
tials to hold the summer, house
hall, fall, and winter bills will be billed $7,381 for that service.
"I thought we were better off to go
THE CHANGEOVER will cost the University $121,000 in fiscal 1982, and last spring, administrators turned down touch-tone service for themselves. William Vogan, executive vice hogan, chancellor, said.
with the main mast of their telephone service," Wilson said. "There was going to be an increase in service charge of Centrix I bywra."
Currently, University phones operate under the Centrix I system. Centrix II differs from Centrix I in that it uses electronic switching devices. Carbo Hernandez, KU professor for advisor for Southwestern Bell, said.
Because of rising phone rates.
however, University and state officials decided last spring to modify the original CentreX II contract to allow the University money. Hogan said.
The modified Centrex II system will save $694,800 in state funds.
Hernandez said that the University was not taking advantage of all the Centre II options, but they could be added later.
THE TWO MAIN features deleted from the original plan for administrative offices was touch-tone equipment and electronic line-switching equipment.
Hogan said, "I think people are more concerned with the cost of the system than the service.
"Our decision was based on those
costs. We needed to minimize the costs and provide adequate service."
Three years ago, the cost of Centrex II service after the changeover would not have been as expensive, but since then, the rates service to large businesses or state owned institutions rose, Hogan said.
“At that time it looked like it would save money for the University of Kansas because the rates then were higher in applications with the new system,” he said.
"How were we to know they would decide to rapidly increase rates for businesses and state agencies?"
