Western Civilization films revived
The revived Western Civilization film series may not make the class any easier, but it should make the course more enjoyable.
Beginning Sept. 5, with the showing of "The Grain in the Stone," the Western Civilization department will present films that correspond, in some cases, with the week's readings. Debra Nails, assistant instructor in the department, said yesterday.
"We thought that students would enjoy being able to supplement their readings and their class discussion with another perennial resource," Western Civilization program. "Nails said."
According to James Seaver, director of
the department, the last film series was presented about 10 years ago.
"Attendance dwindled after a couple of years, and we didn't have any new material."
One of the new series of films now available is the "Ascent of Man," which has been shown on PBS. The films show you the music from the audio-visual center in Old Green Hall.
Nails, who began teaching in the department this semester, said she had requested a few films to show her classes and received them in the department to order any she wanted.
"It seemed a good idea to make them available to the whole academic community."
Although students would not be able to pass the Western Civilization comprehensive exam by just viewing the films, Naisal said, it should help.
The film series, which will include such films as "The Death of Socrates" and "I Have a Dream: Biography of Martin Luther King," is scheduled to end April 17.
"We can't promise that the film series will do wonders for students' grades, but we think it is important to provide this environment way of approaching the authors," she said.
Except for the Sept. 12 film, all films will be shown at 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays in room 3 of Old Green Film. The Sept. 12 film will be shown at 8:45 p.m. Tuesdays in Hall. All films are free and open to the public.
Liquor petitions top requirement
Douglas County has surpassed the number of petition signatures necessary to put the liquor-by-the-drink issue on the Douglas County ballot Nov. 7, according to the head of the county's liquor petition drive.
Jes Santularia, drive chairman, said yesterday the petition had 2,700 signatures, exceeding by about 1,100 the 1,836 signatures required to place the issue on the ballot. He said he wanted to obtain 300 to 400 more signatures for insurance.
Many names will be scratched from the petition when it goes to the county clerk for approval. The county clerk is registered as voters in Douglas County or persons who have changed addresses will be registered.
However, even if the petition is certified and voters in Douglas County approve the liquor-by-the-drink issue on Nov. 7, the final vote was approved in the Kansas Supreme Court's approval.
Dean returns to visit prison
BALTIMORE (AP)—John W. Dean III, the former White House counsel, has returned to an old federal prison here where he served four months of a sentence for involvement in the Watergate scandal—but only to look around.
Dean spent several hours Wednesday wandering through the deserted halls of Fort Holabir, which served as a minimum-security prison.
He was accompanying technicians and producers from Time-Life Films, which is planning a television series based on the memoirs of Dean and his wife, Maureen.
William Schutte, attorney general assigned to the Alcoholic Beverage Control, said yesterday that if the Court ruled against the law, no counties in the state were bound to drink. He said he was not sure how the Supreme Court would rule on the issue.
The law requires that each county wanting to vote on the issue draw up a petition. If the required number of signatures by county citizens are obtained, the issue will be placed on the statewide Nov. 7 ballot in those counties.
However, Schutte said, if the court has not ruled on the issue before the elections, those counties that pass the issue can serve liquor laws. In these cases, documents that obtain a license from the state.
Last spring, the Kansas Legislature voted to legalize liquor-by-the-drink by county option for restaurants which gain at least 50 percent of their revenue from food sales.
But, if the court later rules against the issue, he said, those restaurants will have to stop serving liquor-by-the-drink and return their licenses.
Questions of the constitutionality of the law were raised by Gov. Robert F. Bennett and Attorney General Curt Schroeder. Thus, it is clear that the law, but no date has been set for the review.

County official criticizes helicopter rescue 'show'
By PHILIP GARCIA Staff Reporter
A scheduled meeting between officials from a Kansas City, MO., hospital and the Douglas County Nurse Association to discuss an offer by the hospital to provide emergency rescue service by helicopter in the county has come under fire.
Ted McFarlane, county ambulance service director, said St. Joseph Hospital was attempting to gain support for the air ambulance service by putting on an air "show" to a group that did not deal with emergency rescues.
"I don't think it is a good idea to bring out the helicopter to a group they are not going to walk in."
He said the hospital was dealing with an emotional issue and should first discuss the service with emergency rescue agencies before trying to garner local support.
A hospital spokesman said a meeting with the nurse association was scheduled for Sept. 17 for a demonstration of the program and an explanation of the program.
THE AIR AMBULANCE offer is the main feature of the hospital's "Spirit of St. Joseph Life Flight" program. Medically equipped air ambulance teams provide emergency rescue service to cities and counties within a 150-mile radius of the hospital. The flight program began in June, 2004.
Under the program, patients would be flown to St. Joseph Hospital, except in case of critical injuries when immediate treatment is required. The spokesman said that by going to St. Joseph, emergency personnel would know where and when to take action and exact steps to take in case of difficulty.
A $7 base fee for any trip is charged by the hospital plus an additional $2 for each round-trip mile and a $3.15 nursing fee. The ambulance base locality is $3 to $33.
THE HOSPITAL'S PROGRAM has been licensed in Missouri, but has not received approval for operation in Kansas by the State Department of Health, Education and
A mutual aid agreement, whereby the
hospital would be able to respond to any local call and local ambulances would respond to calls unable to be reached by the hospital. There are 20 counties in the 150-mile area by the hospital.
McFarlane said Douglas County was offered the medial aid program in August. A lawsuit accusing McFarlene of withholding official officials to discuss the proposal has been made within the last month.
The biggest problem that needs to be solved before an agreement can be reached, McFarlane said, is the role of the air ambulance.
"If they want to make accident-to-hospital runs, they would be duplicating what we can do."
For the quality of patient care, McFarlane said, it would not improve over that of a nurse.
A hospital spokesman said the major service the air ambulance would provide for patients who were ill or injured agency was transportation of patients in need of special care at such units as burn
"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?" Psalms 2:1 and Acts 4:25
"AND THOU SHALT MEMBER ALL THE WAY THE LORD THY GOD HATH LED THEE FORTY YEARS—Deuteronomy 8:21. For your consideration, The Lord thy God hath led thee unto battle, 1930. Generally speaking, it was the 1930's our nation and our government began to turn away from honoring and honoring our God, and His ways, His laws, and His Commandments. However, we kept on writing on our money "In God we trust," and still do it in many ways, with much of our Lord of Hosts' in many respects; concerning idolatry, profaneness, Sabbath desecration, dishonoring of father and mother, murder, adultery, stealing, fat witnessing, and death."
not take time to speak of our heavy and growing crop of crime, thieves, liars, coveteers, etc.!
Christ said of Him: 'The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabah Day of Hymn.' We have not taken away his Lordship of the earth. 'There are no enemies in the world, the lord, the devil! Also, do we not almost blown that we have nearly done away with the Death Penalty committee and have joined it in murdering the murders, rapists, whoremongers, homosexuals, and others whom God commanded His people to put to death all those who were idolatrous.'
"BE NOT DECEIVED; GOD IS NOT MOCKED. FOR
HE BEING AN OWN BODY IS HOSTILE TO THE
REAP. FOR HE THAT SOWTH TO HIS FLESH SHALL OF
THE FLESH REAP CORRUPTION; BUT THE THAT SOWTH
TO THE SPRIT SHALL OF THE SPRIT REAP LIFE
This Column has presented God's question to man in the Second Psalm. Why Do the Heathen Rage? together with the First Psalm, the world is a vain thing and we imagine a vain thing, their kings and rulers, and that their rage is against God Himself, and His Anointed, and for the sake of God Himself, we ask.
During the past forty years or more have we not been very successful and made a good job of "breaking God's and Christ's bands as assuers, and casting away their cords from us? Isn't the rise of crime, rage, nills, pollution and burning these things important to what Mr. Hein said about "holding in derision and vexing" diversity who reject His Laws and Commandments?
Fear God and keep His Commandments; for this is the whole of man.
