Art museum takes a look at the past
Sunday afternoon marked the opening of a look into the past of Lawrence.
The University of Kansas Museum of Art held its 22nd annual open house presenting a photographic exhibition of 19th century houses in the Lawrence area.
Denys Peter Myers, principal architectural historian with the Historic American Buildings Survey, the Office of Archeology and Historic Preservation, and National Park Service, presented an illustrated lecture on 19th-century American domestic architecture, to 400 persons in Dyce auditorium. Slides of Lawrence homes were included.
A century ago, Lawrence suffered devastation at the hands of Quantrill's raiders. Nearly 75 business establishments and 100 homes were burned. But the city was rebuilt by its citizens.
Journalists visit campus
"And yet today," said Bret
Despite rain and thunder, 700 journalists from 67 high schools took part in the 50th Annual High School Journalism Conference in the Kansas Union Saturday.
Clyde M. Reed, editor and publisher of The Parson Sun, spoke on the challenge and fascination in journalism during the general session.
"Kansas and the nation need leaders who are not satisfied with the present and are unafraid of the future," Reed said. "They are the ones who are fascinated with people, and never become bored with themselves and surroundings. The fascination of journalism is that one never knows what the day will bring when he goes to work."
Speaking to the young journalists, Reed emphasized the importance of working for excellence on high school newspapers and yearbooks.
Waller, director of the museum,
"one wonders whether modern indifference will accomplish what Quantrill's fury could not:
The total eradication of 19th-century Lawrence."
The exhibition was designed to stimulate "public awareness of the value of this architectural heritage," Waller said, "and of the importance of its preservation."
The exhibition was prepared by students, townspeople, and faculty members all sharing a common love of Lawrence's old architecture and a concern that it should be appreciated by the public.
The 50 houses represented featured many styles ranging from the early stone dwellings to the Victorian mansions of the 1880's and '90's.
Black Panther allowed to speak
LOS ANGELES (UPI)—The Board of Regents of the University of California have rejected a demand by Gov. Ronald Reagan that they ban Black Panther leader Eldridge Cleaver from lecturing at the Berkeley campus and voted to permit the militant "minister of information" to appear one time in a classroom.
At a stormy open session at UCLA, the regents turned down Reagan's emotional plea that the people of California were as aroused as any time in his memory at the prospect of Cleaver instructing students at a university supported by their taxes.
Reagan said bringing in Cleaver "made as much sense as it would have to invite the late Tommy Manville as a marriage counsellor." Reagan warned that approval of Cleaver's appearance could lead to a legislative investigation of the University of California "from top to bottom."
The regents voted 10 to 8 for a motion proposed by President Charles Hitch, head of the nine universities in the system, which in effect would permit Cleaver to make one appearance.
It voted down, 9 to 9, a motion backed by Reagan which stated that Cleaver not be permitted to participate, instruct or teach any course on a campus of the University of California.
Cleaver originally had been appointed by a faculty committee to deliver 10 lectures over a 10-week period at Berkeley.
One of Reagan's most vehement backers was Superintendent of Public Instruction Max Rafferty, Republican candidate for U.S. senator, who characterized Cleaver as a "racist bigot" and said if he was approved it would demonstrate the California educational system was in need of complete reform.
The regents supporting the Hitch proposal to let Cleaver appear once made it plain they opposed him as a qualified lecturer, but felt it was a dangerous course to have the regents start naming individuals who could not appear as guest lecturers.
