Speaker dispels pioneer images
The images that many people have of the pioneer are a vast condensation of the people of the pioneer period, according to Bernice Slote.
Slate, professor of English at the University of Nebraska, said last night that the literature of Willett Cathar and others showed there were many different types of
pioneers, not just the Daniel Boone and Kit Carson type.
"Literature is often not that of Cowboys and Indians, but what I call the understated
Med Center retreat held
In her lecture, "The New Pioneer: Images in the work of Willa Cather and others," Slote gave examples of authors' views of the pioneer.
Chancellor Archie R. Dykes met with administrators and department chairmen from the KU Medical Center on one and a half day retreat early this week to discuss matters of general interest to the Med Center staff.
The retreat, which took place at the Lodge of the Four Seasons in the Lake of the Ores is an annual event which encourages people to learn about ideas on how to improve the quality of the
Med Center through an "on-going meeting." Dykes said yesterday.
Officials discussed such matters as the continuing development of curriculum, the expansion of the Wichita branch of the Med School and funding.
Dykes said no official decisions were made on any issues and that funding was not provided.
Med Center officials are also planning to ask the legislative session in January 1976 what should be done with the bill.
State and authors such as Catherine lived in pioneer times and understood the planner's role. The book is a reflection of those years.
Slote has edited, written or collaborated on about 12 books of critical analysis. She has been especially interested in Cather, Emmy Dickinson, Emily Dickinson and Stephen Grane.
Slote said that Cather saw pioneers with a very strong sense of individualism.
She said Cather wrote that there was no sobbiiness so cowardly as thinking the only way to be right was to be like everyone else.
State said Cather's writings also showed pioneers with a respect for the culture of the past.
Slote said the idea that pioneer women were either surest, helpful wives dedicated to their husbands, school teachers from the past, or both. He also be changed from reading literature.
Literature shows that silence and loneliness were two major problems for women. (Ashley W. Forsyth)

Cailgrand said that he agreed with Eurat's report and that it was up to those making the decision.
