Halls' residents donate food
The residents of Gertrude Sellands Pearson and Corbin halls donated more than 10 boxes of canned goods at a Christmas party Saturday night in the GSP lobby, the GSP and Corbin resident director said yesterday.

KCC to answer phone queries
The KCC plans a marathon administrative meeting at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday in commission offices to answer numerous questions about competition in areas that once were the province of American Telephone & Telegraph and its Bell System.
Questions to be considered include whether to allow other long-distance firms—such as MCI and GTE Sprint—to access the same customers in local service areas.
Now, companies that provide local telephone service — such as Southwestern Bell — are authorized to provide long-distance service in local areas, chiefly within the same telephone area codes. MCI, Sprint and others are allowed to compete with AT&T for service between separate areas.

Alumni Association may protest property tax
Bv MARY CARTER
An attorney for the University of Kansas Alumni Association inquired Thursday about paying the Alumni Association's property taxes under protest, the Douglas County appraser said last week.

Staff Reporter
"We had an attorney for them in here yesterday asking about the forms to pay and to protest." Don Gordon, the appraiser, said Friday.
Fred Williams, Alumni Association executive director, on Friday refused to say whether the Alumni Association was considering protecting its tax assessment.
"This is a critical issue and concern."
Williams said, "one that, as far as I'm concerned, is a matter of very strict confidence."
THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION owes about
$64,000 in real estate and personal property taxes, the first half of which is due Dec. 20. Williams said the taxes due would be paid by the deadline.
"I have been instructed to pay the first half, and we will pay," he said. "The check will be dated Dec. 19, and we will hand carry it to the county treasurer's office."
State law allows any taxpayer to pay taxes under protest by filing in the county treasurer's office when the taxes are paid to request a hearing by the state Board of Tax Appeals.
The Board of Tax Appeals may approve the protest and refund some or all of the taxes paid, or it may deny the protest and a refund
The Kansas University Endowment Association owned the land on which the Alumni Center now sits until July 1983, when it was transferred to the Alumni Association.
office in the Kansas Union and thus did not pay property taxes.
Under state law, property exempt from property taxes includes public buildings that are used exclusively as places of public worship, as public schoolhouses or both and property that is used exclusively for literary, educational, scientific, religious, benevolent or charitable purposes.
When it owned the land, the Endowment Association was exempt from property taxes because the land was used as a parking lot and the office held in the appraiser's office said Thursday.
EXEMPTIONS ARE GRANTED on a case-by-case basis by the Board of Tax Appeals, she said. Under Douglas County policy, she said, the exemption lases as long
as the board chooses, provided the property ownership does not change.
When the ownership changes, the exemption is valid until the end of the calendar year. The exemption for the land on which the Alumni Center sits expired Dec 31, 1983, and the Alumni Association was put on the county tax roll Jan. 1, she said.
Gordon said. "Because they were using University property prior to the land they now own, they were not assessed."
Gordon said paying under protest did not happen "too often."
"In this particular case we had had numerous conversations with counsel for the Alumni Association, and they determined they would not file for an exemption.
"When we asked why they were not going to apply for an exemption, the lawyer indicated the Alumni Board had decided to pay under protest." Gordon said.
'Images' displays women's roles
By ERIKA BLACKSHER
Staff Reporter
Her 5-foot-10-inch, broad-shouldered frame and sculptural features expressed the grief of a slave woman sending her two boys off with the town preacher to escape a life of slavery.
The scene is sensitive and convincing. But the only person on stage is Emine Cislar Worthow, of Hartseille. Ala., a master's degree candidate in the children's theatre program.
Stallworth's one woman, 48-minute show, "Images," is her thesis project for her master's degree. The show depicts five historical and present-day scenes portraying women and their role in the development of the United States.
continuing.
**SHE WILL PERFORM** the show on campuses for the last two times at 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Thursday in Alderson Auditorium of the Kansas Union. Stallworth performed "Images" for the first time in February at the Lawrence Public Library, then again in May at the Lawrence Arts Center.
"I think it's very important for young people to realize the hard work that went into changing this country," she said yesterday.
Last November, Stallworm took the show on tour in the New Orleans Cultural Arts Program, part of the public school system of New Orleans. She did 21 shows in 10 days
"Finding an ethnic female protagonist in children's literature was like finding a needle in a haystack," Stallworth said.
She said she wanted to expose children to positive female role models, rather than the stereotypical black maid or cook
Although the show stresses the black struggle for freedom, the last two pieces are identifiable with any race and any time period, she said.
IN THE FOURTH piece, "Soul Gone Home," by author Langston Hughes, Stalworth portrays a prostitute mourning her supposed dead son.
"The prostitute piece touches on a lot of things happening now," she said, "namely, child abuse. The kids who saw the show had been treated like she (the prostitute) did the best she could
"I learn from them and hopefully they learn from me."
A table, two chairs and a white-picket fence — when she can find one — serve as her props. Her costumes are simple and easy to change into.
Eunice Stallworth, a master's degree candidate in children's theatre, portrays an 18th-century slave in "Images," her one woman show. Stallworth will perform at 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Thursday in Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
The snow is also an introduction to the arts." Stallworth said. "My props are simple, requiring the children to use their imagination."
Although she works alone on stage, to prepare for the show Stallworth works with adults and children to make her actions more realistic.
IN THE FIFTH piece, "Thank You Ma'maj," also written by Hughes, a young parse snatcher is unexpectedly grabbed by his intended victim and taught a lesson. Stallwyn said she would be doing the same to child to make sure he did it right when she performed alone.
"For a couple weeks," she said, "I grabbed this little kid's ear to make sure my hand didn't drop or something, which would make it appear unrealistic."
Timing the lines and pauses was one of the most important parts of preparing the show. Stallworth said. To make sure she was allowing enough time between her lines and the implied character's response, Stallworth had to call the dialogues and listened to them repeatedly.
The final product is a moving journey that takes the audience from 11th century slave women to present-day career women in problematic situations
"My first love is performing for young people" she said
Fans' service for ex-Beatle stirs emotion
BY SUZANNE BROWN Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
TOPEKA — They gathered in the mid night to remember. They sang a few songs and said a few words before drifting home again.
And so a somber cast at Gage Park's Rose Garden kept alive for another year the memory of John Lennon, whose death in 1980 night shocked mullions around the world.
"I don't have any intentions of quitting the vignis," said Tony Wedekeing, who organized Saturday's candlight memorial service that drew about 75 people. "People didn't block out Beethoven or Bach a few years after they died.
"It's the same thing with John."
It's the same thing.
The event, beneath a full moon that shone between scudding clouds, was the fourth of its kind. Candles in paper bags dotted the concrete that surrounded the central fountain of the rose garden.
WEDENING SAMD HE STARTed the service in 1981, a year after Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, asked admirers to hold silent vigil honoring the rocker singer Lennon was fatally shot outside his Manhattan apartment in 1960. The song became an icon.
Since then, millions have mourned the former member of the Beatles.
Lennon's death prompted extensive publicity and a revived interest in the group, which most agree changed the direction of rock music.
Toddlers at the Rose Garden clung to the hands of their parents. Teenagers stood and shifted their feet in silence.
"I DIDN'T GET to like him until he died," said Michelle Brown, a 13-year-old attending Saturday's vigil.
A few older men and women held candles and listened to the singing around them. Most of those at the gathering appeared to be in their 30s, and they joined those of other eras in three minutes of silent tribute.
"You have to have grown up with them to really appreciate their impact." Linda Koffler, 35, said
KOFFLER WAS ACCOMPANIED by Tyrone Thomas, 30, who said he had attended all the vignis since 1981, including a 1983 service held in sub-freezing temperatures.
"We're dedicated to the man," Thomas said. "My parents think it's idol worship. I think it's much more."
Wedeking said most of the people who had attended the virgins in the past were those whose childhood memories included Beatles music.
"But these are just old fist types who have gotten together to cry into their beer about the past," he said. "These are the ones who really care about John Lennon, enough to come to something like this year after year."
