WEAVER FOUNTAIN-Joan McManis, Kansas City, Kan., Gwen Altic, Lawrence, and Elizabeth Wilbur, Lawrence, all sophomores, admire the French fountain group which is the central feature of the Weaver Court.
Murphy to Dedicate Art Museum Court
One of the last official acts of Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy as chancellor will be to dedicate the Arthur D. Weaver fountain courtyard south of the Museum of Art.
The dedication of the court will be at 3:30 p.m. Sunday with a reception following the dedication ceremony. That night special lighting effects will be shown for the first time.
The fountain court was built through the contributions of Mr. and Mrs. A.B. Weaver of Lawrence and Mr. and Mrs. N.T.Veatch of Kansas City, Mo., in memory of their father, A.D. Weaver, who was one of the leading Lawrence citizens.
In addition to donating the money to build the court, the Weavers and Veatchs have given the works of sculpture in the courtyard. The central work in the court is an 18th century fountain group by Pierre Le Gros, the Elder. The other works exhibited are a bust of Auguste Renoir by Maillol and a bronze entitled "Resurrection," by Georg Kolbe.
The fountain group was first displayed at a Museum of Art exhibit in 1957. Construction of the courtyard has been finished for over a year but the dedication was delayed to allow the plantings in the court to grow.
Construction of the courtyard was donated at cost by J. L. Constant of the Constant Construction Co. The layout of the court and plantings were designed by Alton C. Thomas, assistant professor of architecture and KU landscape artist, and Harold E. Blitch, superintendent of University greenhouses. The fountain and plantings were installed by buildings and grounds.
Agency Changes Major Concern Of State Groups
State administrative reorganization demands constant consideration, reports the Governmental Research Center at the University. This subject has been discussed in almost every election campaign in the last 30 years and is frequently the subject of major proposals by newly elected governors to the legislature.
Throughout the years, Kansas has made many changes in the organization of state agencies in an attempt to improve the responsiveness of state officials to the public. Efforts to make major changes in the state administrative structure were made as early as 1915, 1917, 1923 and 1925, and a major consolidation of administrative agencies was accomplished in 1933 when a Department of Inspection and Registration was established. (This department was later abolished.)
Also in 1933, the Legislative Council—which was the first such council in the nation—was established. Since its establishment, the Council and its research department have played an important role in making available to the Legislature information and alternate recommendations on needed administrative and organizational changes.
In 1950, after several years of considering the need for fiscal reform in the state, the governor appointed a Commission on State Administrative Organization. As a result of the activity of this Commission, a Department of Administration was created in 1953. This action by the Legislature made possible centralized departments of finance under the direction of a single officer.
In 1953 a special legislative investigating committee was created to investigate specific charges of irregularities in lobbying activities.
And, although this investigation did not actually involve administrative reorganization, it was important in that it served as a forerunner of the 1956 investigative committee, which was declared unconstitutional, and the 1957 Efficiency and Economy Committee.
The 1957 Efficiency and Economy Committee made the most comprehensive study of state administrative organization yet accomplished. The final report of the Committee included information and recommendations covering 31 state agencies. Many of the recommended changes require legislative action, but others could be—and many were—made by action of the agencies concerned.
Med Student Gets Fulbright Grant
Herbert Max Hilgers has been awarded a United States educational exchange scholarship for the study of embryology at the University of Frankfurt in Germany during the 1960-61 academic year. Hilgers, who has completed the sophomore year in the University of Kansas School of Medicine, will receive his travel costs, fees, books and room and board under terms of the Fulbright scholarship.
Hilgers earned the bachelor of arts degree from K.U. in 1958 with the double majors of German and English in addition to the prescribed pre-medical curriculum. He was active in K.U. drama productions. As an undergraduate he held a residence scholarship in Battenfeld Hall and was a W. B. Ham scholar from Rooks县。
