Robert Sudlow
Flint Hills intrigue KU painter
Bv AMY HOLLOWELL

Robert Sudlow is having an affair with the Karges Flint Hills.
In a tribute to the area, the KU professor of painting devoted last fall, winter and spring to painting the landscape as it changed with the seasons.
Fourteen of the paintings will be exhibited in the Kansas Judicial Center, Topoka, beginning Sunday, Sept. 9. The painting "Kansas Flint Hills Paintings."
A native Kansan, Sudlow, 59, said he is naturally attracted to the Flint Hills.
While on sabbatical leave last fall, Sudlow set up shop in the farmhouse of former state lawyer Wayne Rogler, near Mattfield Green in Chase County.
"I anchored my canvases in the midst of the landscape," he said, "and let the elements guide me."
Sudow wanted to capture what he calls the fugitive life of the land, the constant changes in the landscape. To do so, he had to be able to ride a motorcycle on back roads, and ride a motorcycle on back roads,
exploring what he said passers-by on the turnike see as simvli emtv rassland.
"MY WORK is more a process than a thing." Sullow said. "It's almost a series of extended sketches done on location and tied together in mv studio."
Throughout the winter, Sushail bumped the cold and wind by wearing airplane gear as he painted, and by strapping his leg up against the back of his car so they would not blow away.
"I tried to paint wind, the movement of clouds and the feel of frozen emptiness," he said. "The land is very fragile, but it has been formed of it that there aren't a lot people."
Although Suddul cherishes the uninhabited beauty, he also would like to “make people aware of the flint lands. to ‘make people aware of the mystery of the lands’ through his exhibit.
ORGANIZED BY the Arts Council of Worcester and the Kansas Appalachian Courts, the Arts Commission and the Arts Commission, the exhibit is the first public display of the paintings and will run from June 18 through July 30.
Many of Sullow's paintings of Kansas landscapes are displayed throughout the nation in museums, galleries, businesses and private homes.
His work was the first selected in the 1974 Ford Motor School former Gov. Robert Dockinger in 1975. The program called for selected works to be displayed in state buildings and in the school library.
Summer was not included in the Flint Hills series because, Sudlow said, he hadn't spent a summer in Kansas since graduating from KU in 1924.
Born in Hollom, Sudwil was a fayer in the University for three and one-half years after leaving school. He earned a degree from the California College of Arts and Crafts Oakland, and then went to San Francisco.
"I studied under the cubist Andre Lhote," Sullow said. "He was a lousy painter but a good teacher—I learned from him."

Draft bill protest planned
By ELLEN IWAMOTO Staff Reporter
Ant-draft protesters are planning a vigil this weekend at the State Capitol Building in Topeka to demonstrate against military and registration bills in the U.S. Congress.
The vigil is the first demonstration the Kansas Anti-draft Organization has staged since forming this summer.
Carrie Marner, Topken senior and a colleague, met with the Committee on week that the vigil, beginning noon Friday and ending Sunday afternoon, would coincide with the start of the war in 9-15. The week of protest was designated by the Committee Registration and the Draft, a national coalition of anti-draft
Marner said the Kansas Ant-draft Organization, a Topaek-based group, was formed by persons concerned about national security calling for the reinstatement of the draft.
A bill is being sponsored in the Senate by Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-WA, and Sen. Sam Dunn, D-GA, which would require all males between the ages of 18 to register in 1980. Also, a military appropriations bill, which was passed last year, proposes that process is, in the House of Representatives,
THE ORGANIZATION will pass out fact sheets and be available to answer questions. Mariner said the group also was writing letters in support of the circulating petitions protecting the bills.
She said the organization was interested in establishing a Lawrence chapter and would be taking steps to register as a student group with the University of Kansas.
The Kansas Aml-fdraft Organization has been recognized and endorsed by civil rights groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union chapter in Topeka and the International League for Peace and Justice chapter in Topeka, according to Marmor.
The organization also hopes to be

The resolution stated that the USSA opposed the draft and registration because it "infringed upon the personal freedom of choice of individuals," he said.
