Charles Eldridge, director of the Spencer Museum, said that people should withhold their protests and criticism until the sculpture had been completed. It is an unfinished work right now, he explained.
However, Raymond Eastwood, retired KU art professor, said he didn't have to wait until it had finished.
Eastwood, 1609 Louisiana St., who lives near the house and be hoped the "Salina Piece" was painted there.
"I don't see why they should desecrate a perfectly good piece of ground," he said. "It's entirely out of scale with the landscaping and, as far as I can see, it has no significance."
EASTWOOD SAID he wasn't opposed to sculptures on earth but grassy areas should be protected, the painter said.
Another resident, State Rep. Betty Jo Charlton, D-Lawrence, 1624 Indiana St., said the sculpture had become an eyesore during the five-month period it had rested on the site.
"They just hauled it in, dumped it there and then brought it into the warehouse. Did they bring it in if they weren't going to put it up?"
People have thrown beer cans at the sculpture, and trash has caused it to become unsignificantly, she
"I'm not criticizing the art work," Charlton said, "I haven't seen it. I doubt that I'll like it because I kind of liked the grassy area the way it was."
Other neighbors are willing to take a wait-and- see attitude.
David Evans, 1636 Louisiana St., an architect partner in Design Build Architects, said people should wait until the work was completed before criticizing it.
"I don't think it will be as devastating as everyone thinks," he said. "People have been overreacting to the situation, so their strength will be in its brutality, but it might not fit with the surrounding houses."
THE FINAL installation has been delayed and will not occur until at least next week because the sculptor is out of town, supervising other sculpture installations.
an attempt to erect "Salinna Piece" failed oat,
when the sculpture slid to the ground after it wilted.
The sculptor was struck by an iron rod.
Simpson donated about $8,000 for transportation and installation of the work, said Dale Tilghman, assistant director for the Spencer Museum.

Other sites discussed included one on West campus and another near Alen Field House, he asked.
No state funds will be used for installing the art work, said Thomas Anderson, director of facilities operations. Facilities operations has been directing the installation.
"I feel that the agency had to recognize its responsibility to the city's codes and to the neighborhood," Gleason said. "I saw a lot of jokin on there today that was visually obtrusive."

Steve Fawcett, chairman of Penn House's advisory board, said that signs had been posted to discourage dumping. He said that the Penn House also made more pick ups of the donated goods.
Penn House will try to maintain its emergency assistance during the construction of its new building, Bessie Nichols of Penn House said. She said, however, that a building had not been picked out to house the agency until its new building opened.

The city's $600,000 budget is $23,128 less than the original 1982 allocation.
LAWRENCE RECEIVED an estimated budget in June and allocated that money, but recent budget cuts forced a re-evaluation of the allotments.
The commission had been worried that an across-the-board cut would have forced some businesses to abandon the program.
But a survey by Assistant City Manager Mike Wilden found that most agencies would live with reductions and still provide adequate services.
By allocating the money, the commission also gave the Airport Development Board the go ahead to continue its plans to improve the public terminals at the Lawrence Municipal Airport.
Robert Walters, an aviation board member, said the $15,000 would be used to construct a hard surface road to the terminal area and grade roads to accommodate airplane parking at the airport.
He said the remaining allocation would be used to get a detailed soil test of the terminal site and to determine irrigation applications, a detailed drainage plan for the area and a schematic design of the terminal building.

A. James Manchin, West Virginia's secretary of state, is scheduled to visit Manhattan on Thursday. He plans to visit with Hacker and "straighten the mind out."
As Manchin flies toward Kansas, Hacker will be awaiting him with an 'almost hearty' heat that he'll tolerate.
"I plan on immersing Mr. Manchin up to his neck in my West Virginia hot tub while he looks out over the beauty of the wonderful, barren, peopleeless mountainous Kansas Flint Hills."
The Mercury staff will present Manchin with Kansas souvenirs and Menchin will give Hacker honorary West Virginia citizenship to demonstrate the forgiving nature of the people of this
act with these comments: "It 'll-behoves someone from Kansas to dump on West Virginia. Although I wouldn't agree with them, I might understand it better from New York and California. But Kansas?"
