Heritage, future in KU bicentennial plans
The University Bicentennial Committee has planned a wide range of activities to mark the observance of the nation's 200th birthday.
Stitt Robinson, chairman of the committee and professor of history, said recently that at the last meeting he had been told that the university was by members of the campus community.
To qualify as a bicentennial campus, the three themes of "Heritage 76", "Festival USA" and "Horizons 78" must be included in planning activities. Robinson said all three were being included at the University of Kansas.
The theme "Hitage 76," Robinson said, is a look to the past. Projects under this theme include a radio program, "Early American Keyboard music," on KANU at 7:30 every Monday night. The program is performed and written by J. Bunker Clark, professor of music history, and explores the music of the period from 1767 to 1830 accordion program. The program began Sept. 1 and will continue through November.
ANOTHER UNIVERSITY project explorating the past is a series of interviews
Edward Palmer, vice president of research for Children's Television Workshop, will lead one of eight workshops offered at the conference. Children's Television Workshop produces "Sesame Street!" and "The Electric Company."
Richard Colyer, conference director, said students currently graduating from high school had spent 50 per cent more time in the classroom than they had spent in the classroom.
The use of films, television and visual aids in learning will be the topic of a conference, "Teaching in the Communications Revolution: Film and Literature," from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. tomorrow in the Kansas Union.
"The aim of this conference is to give teachers as much practical help as possible in guiding their students to handle this material intelligently and selectively." Colyer said.
"THE BEST IN FILM and TV deserve the same attention to content and style that we offer."
Visual experiences that could be useful in the classroom will be discussed, Colyer said.

Griffin and McCoy are conducting interviews with former governor and 1936 Democrat Ted Johnson. M. Landon, Robinson said the interviews would be a valuable source of information to people interested in the history of the 1930s. The interviews will be available in Sooner Library.
The conference is sponsored by the department of English and the Division of Continuing Education. Colyer said he expected more than 300 people to attend. There is a $7.50 fee for registration and lunch.
The role of blacks in Kansas History is another proposed interview topic, Robinson said. Jacob Gordon, associate professor of history at North Carolina, is responsible for planning the interviews.
THE PROJECT IS still being planned, but Robinson said he was optimistic about its future.
Robinson said one bicentennial committee project has been to compile discussion topics about the American past, which he hopes will spark enthusiasm from groups associated with the campus, and possibly from the community.
Activities of the KU Symphonic Band include a trip to Washington, D.C., to play on Kansas Ave. on July 12, 1976. The trip is being sponsored by the Kansas Federation

investigate Dial DRUG and provide
information about the Dial DRUG program.

DRUG and would provide information
about the program to the commissioners
Friday.
Robinson said the tour would be a good experience for the band members as well as the students.
A project planned by SUA will use the "festival OF USA." A street square dance with participants dressed in colonial attire will be in front of Strong Hall, Robinson said.
Wildgen said he didn't know of anything the city could do about Dial DRUG because it was privately operated, but said he hadn't heard that the city attorney about the program.
The commission is expected to discuss the Dial Drug program at Tuesday's regular meeting. Bims said he invited Hart to attend, and Kart said he would probably attend.

Mibek said he hadn't decided whether to support Dial DRUG or recommend trying to stop it. He said he needed more information about it before making any decisions.
"We will just provide unbiased information about the program," Wilden said. "I don't really know what the commissioners will do about it."

Bins told Hart he would set up a meeting between Hart and Richard Stanwix, chief of police. Bins said. No specific time has been set for the meeting. Bins said.
"They don't even have the courtesy to return my calls," he said.
Without the drug analysis program, Hart said, the Dial DRUG program has to rely only on non-professional information from whatever sources offered such information.

ALTON C. TOMHAS, associate professor of architecture and urban design, suggested a drive and parking area for Pioneer Cemetery as part of a project to beautify the street. The plan has already been planted through contributions by former Chancellor Deane Malot.
"I am very interested in the program," he said.
HART SAID THAT, if the city had a drug analysis program, more accurate information about drugs could be provided by the Dial DRUG program. Information from a drug analysis program could allow Dial DRUG to say more negative things about drugs. Hart said, rather than just the positive reports they hear.

Robinson said a sculpture also is being planned. The final design and location are still being formulated. Bernard Frazier, sculptor in residence, will be the designer.
Robinson said one of the subjects the committee is studying was the presentation of the official bicentennial flag. The committee planned to present the bicentennial flag to be presented to the University at the Higher Education Week Banquet on Nov. 16.
