Med Center official files suit against club
A department chairman at the University of Kansas Medical Center has charged Brookridge Country Club in Overland Park with racial discrimination in a suit filed last week in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Kan.
The physician is seeking $100,000 in actual
and $100,000 in inventory damages.
The chairman, Carl Mansfield, head of the Med Center's radiology department, claims his membership application at the club has been held up five months because he is
Mansfield's $500 check has never been cashed.
Mansfield's application process began in February when he inquired to club officials about membership. He said he filled out an application form in early March, paid a $500 joining fee in April and did not hear from the club until late May.
When he finally heard from Brookridge, Mansfield said yesterday, it was in the form of a brochure sent in the mail saying, "Now is the time to join Brookridge."
Mansfield said he thought the brochure was mailed to many non-members in his neighborhood as part of a membership and did not mention his application. did not mention Mansfield's application.
AFTER SEEING the brochure, Manzie he called the club and inquired about her. She said she was secretary there said she was surprised no action had been taken after so long a period.
Mansfield said he then called the club several more times and the assistant manager, Kenneth Gibbs, told him each time his credit was being checked.
"I guess they got tired of that line after a few more calls because then they kept giving me the 'He's out of the office' line. My credit is just fine."
Gibbs said he had neither talked with Mansfield nor handled his application.
He added that the $200 check was still at Brookridge and it would be refunded to him if his application was approved.
"I'm not sure what the grounds are for refusing an application. The Board of Directors was not surprised to learn of the lawsuit." Gibbs said.
Gibbs would not say why the lawsuit against the club did not come as a surprise.
He said other club officials were in charge of applications, but he would not name the officers.
He said the other officials were familiar with the Mansfield situation, but maintained that he did not know.
Gibbs also said the club manager, who was on vacation and was scheduled to return next week, would handle the situation.
"AFTER I learned that other applicants had been approved within a week, I got a little suspicious," Mansfield said. "It wasn't even so bad, but I am not against it so decided to seek legal advice."
Mansfield, who lives within walking distance of the club, said his children, ages eight and 10, had been looking forward to using the club's pool.
Grant to allow museum to buy modern artwork
Contemporary art enthusiasts who visit the Spencer Museum of Art will be able to enjoy new additions to the museum's contemporary collection because of a grant to
Spencer has received a $20,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to be used with matching funds to buy works of living American artists, Charles Eldridge, museum director, said yesterday.
The grant is to be used to buy contemporary prints and abstract artwork of the last ten years. The National Endowment for Public Art may be used for at least two pieces of artworks.
"You can sink the whole thing into a single picture or sculpture." Edleed said.
The money was pledged for the fiscal year that began July 1 and will end June 30, 1979. By the end of the year, the museum must raise $20,000 in matching funds.
THE MUSEUM has received some of the matching $2,000 from private donors and from membership fees paid by members of the Friends of the Art Museum, Eldredge said. He would not say much money had been raised.
In the pass 10 years, the museum has received four similar images from the museum.
The museum probably will buy a single major painting or sculpture and a group of smaller works.
Works by "a major talent" will be considered, he said. The museum's print curator is looking for prints and Eldredge curator are looking for the other work.
Several universities have competed for the grant in past years, Eldredge said. More than one university received the grant this year.
The National Endowment for the Arts is a federal agency established in the mid '80s to support arts and culture.
