Findings Reorganize History of Spanish Art
Discoveries made recently in Santiago, Spain, have reorganized the history of Spanish art, Marilyn Stokstad, assistant professor of art history, said at the Humanities Forum last night.
Miss Stokstad, using a Watkins Study Grant, was a member of an excavation team which found five pieces of sculpture from the west facade of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.
THE ORIGINAL facade, from which the works came, was torn down and the Portico de la Gloria was built in its place. The pieces of sculpture removed were broken up and used as building stones in the foundation of the new portico.
"The most important feature of

the discovery was the similarity between it and pieces from works of the missing period," Prof. Stokstad said.
She added that the sculpture style presented in the new pieces indicates that either an entirely new group of sculptors were working on the cathedral at that time or that a new experiment in artistry was being attempted.
"WHATEVER the cause for the production of these pieces, they are such a radical change from the surrounding specimens of Spanish art that the history of Spanish art has been completely revised," Prof. Stokstad said.
"Although we found five fragments, only one will be of any value to art historians," she said.
"The chief archeologist in charge of the entire excavation has claimed that this figure is of Moses holding the tablet of stone. I do not think this is right. There is not a sign of a beard, the traditional mark of a Moses, and there is no place for the tablets to rest against the figure's chest."
The fragment in question is that of a human figure minus head and hands. The figure is shown in the bent-knee position traditional to the Romanesque period during which the original facade would have been produced, she said.

of paper, "and this is home. George grew up in Lawrence and we met while at KU . . . our family has a deep feeling for Lawrence . . . we all love you.
(Continued from page 1)
"George couldn't be here tonight. He had a previous speaking engagement in Toneka, but he wanted me to speak for him.
"It is only because George feels he has not achieved the rights and privileges he wants for the individual Kansans that he's running again . . . and he hopes to achieve this with the aid of a Democratic legislature."
AMONG OTHER candidates attending the rally were Jack Glaves, candidate for lieutenant governor.
Many of the candidates praised Gov. Docking's two term record and urged that he be re-elected to "carry on his outstanding programs."
Jack Glaves called the Governor "a free thinker, an independent thinker . . . capable of charting a suitable course for Kansas, unfettered by the pressure groups and vested interests.
"HIS OPPONENTS have criticized him as being opinionated and obdurate but this actually points to his real strength." he said.
