Art Projects Stolen from Strong Hall
"To whom it may concern; The drawing you ripped off had already been sold to help pay my rent. If you return the original, I will send you a copy of it in the (the) ball. Surely, the owner."
That sign and three other similar ones are hanging in empty spaces on display walls on the third floor of Strong Hall. In the past two months about 10 student art projects have been presented at the last week, according to Philip Henderson, associate professor of design.
"People don't realize the time students put in on the assignments." Henderson said.
Five fashion illustrations were reported missing Tuesday from display walls, and a few are in the back of the room.

was apparently taken Tuesday night.
Williams had been working the whole
semester on the project and had refrained
from displaying the entire project for fear
of theft.
Williams plans to redo the stolen portion of the project, but its conceptual content in relation to the remaining portion will not be built in Virginia. Epss, assistant instructor of design.

"My portfolio is incomplete without that particular illustration," she said. "It would be better if I had a real one."
The possibility of converting the present
graduate office on the third floor of Strong Hall into a student gallery has been considered, but both Henderson and Epps agreed that lockable display cases in the hallways would be much more accessible for the students.
Henderson said that although there were some display cases available, there weren't enough to allow every student's works to be displayed in them.
"The display of the art work is essential for the student and for the transfer of ideas to the next generation."
Although some art work has disappeared during the day, the apparent danger of thefts have necessitated locking hallway doors to prevent students to work only during the daytime.
Epps said that most students did their major work at night under roomlight, and that lighting conditions during the day were too different; allow students to switch forth.
Henderson has placed notes appelling for the return of the student works on a no-response sheet.
"We just want to go get them back," he said. "Many students have said they would rather have had a five-dollar brush or set of paints stolen from their projects."
The work stolen was of high quality,
Henderson said, and could probably have been sold. He emphasized that it was a mistake in the design of the projects that was of concern to the students.
The Office of Affirmative Action will sponsor an advisory unit meeting for graduate students at 7:30 p.m. Monday in Parlor C of the Kansas Union.
Advisory Unit to Meet
The purpose of the advisory unit is to discuss complaints which the affirmative party may be concerned about.
The Office of Affirmative Action handles all complaints relating to discrimination at WSU.
The unit will organize at the meeting and decide which complaints to pursue.
Some issues that might be discussed are funding for women's intramural sports, the inadequacy of child care facilities and discrimination in placement offices, Cindy Robinson, Lawrence second year law student and spokesman for the office, said.
However, she stressed that any grievance could be discussed.
"The point is to get people thinking how the affirmative action program could help eliminate discrimination they may feel in their lives," she said.
Any interested graduate student unable to attend the meeting can sign up in the Office.
An advisory unit for undergraduate students will be formed in December.
Women Stress Career Flexibility
By ELISE RITTER Kansan Staff Resorter
Flexibility in a person's chosen career was stressed by speakers at a seminar on women in the social sciences, sponsored by the Women's Research Center of Women yesterday in the Kansas Union.

Groundbreaking ceremonies will be at 10 a.m. tomorrow for two new buildings designed to double the size of the University of Kansas Medical Center.
The Kansan incorrectly reported in
the press that the ceremonies would be Sunday.
Actual construction of the buildings is scheduled to begin the first of next year. Construction will extend over a three year period and will cost more than $50 million.
The larger of the two planned buildings, covering more than 700,000 square feet, will contain a new clinical facility, diagnostic and treatment rooms, and a multi-technical support laboratories. The second building will contain the basic science teaching building.
The Kansan incorrectly reported Oct. 30 that the Gay Women's Caucus was under the KU Commission on the Status of Women, which is an outgrowth of the Women's Coalition.
and where she teaches to cope with the recent job shortage in the teaching profession, said Evelyn Swartz, professor of education.
She said the job shortage was due to a lack of money rather than an abundance of teachers.
Recruiters used to come to the KU School of Education from all over the nation, she said, but now graduates have to go out and seek jobs.
The school is emphasizing programs for teaching in urban areas, multracial multicultural teaching and bilingual bicultural teaching.
Swartz advised education students to train either in one particular area or in one overall area because many schools are now departmentalizing their classes. Specialized reading teachers are now very much in demand, she said.
MORE WOMEN COUNSELORS, administrators and psychologists are needed.
Swartz the teaching profession had changed greatly over the past years.
The journalism profession is opening up for women, said Debi Lickler, women's editor for the Lawrence Daily Journal-World.
"All of you went to school at a time when women went into teaching because it was the only expedient thing to do," she said. "And then they were pretty awful, weren't they?"
"Even broadcasting, the last front, is crumbling," she said.
A journalist should be prepared to work in any phase of journalism, she said.

She emphasizes the need for job experience outside the classroom and said a
student should try to work for a newspaper
GRADUATE SCHOOL in journalism isn't beneficial unless a student has at least two years journalism work experience, she said.
Licklider said areas in journalism that were becoming very important were consumer reporting, environmental reporting and business writing.
Also, she said, women's pages are turning into people's pages. She said she hoped that in the future, women's pages would include information about holding announcements and advice columns.
Barbara Eta, professor of human development and family life, suggested that undergraduate students in human development and family life attend graduate
However, she said, there is a program in early childhood education at KU which gives a certificate to students with a high school diploma and teaches them to teach pre-school children in Kansas.
SHE SAID THE department had no problem placing these students in jobs.
She said the three major areas of social work were case, clinical and community work.
Etzel said the practical behavioral technique used by the human development and family life department was widely demanded now by employers.
For those with a master's degree, social work is a very versatile career, said Carmino Cabrejo, social worker for Bert Nash Mental Health Center Inc.
