University designated Bicentennial Campus
The University of Kansas has been officially designated a Bicentennial Campus, W. Stitt Robinson, chairman of the KU Bicentennial Commission, said yesterday.
Robinson received word of the designation Friday from the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration and was allotted藻inating all official bicentennial activities.
"What this means is that we will make a commitment to give some attention to the child."
KU applied for Bicentennial Campus status in July. At that time, a Bicentennial Commission was appointed by Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor, and an initial bicentennial program was planned. Activities planned on campus in conjunction with the bicentennial include lectures, taped interviews with notable bisonans and students, and cultural activities on KANU, Robinson, a professor of history, plans to offer a course on the American Revolution for the spring semester of 1976.
The KU Symphonic Band is planning a concert in Washington, D.C. for July 1976. The band will also re-create the last tour of the group and band in 16 cities in Kansas and the East.
The University Theatre began its bicentennial activities with the program, "The Kansas Experience," during the season of 2015. The performances were performed in the Landmarks of the American Theatre series: "John Brown's Body" by Stephen Vincent Benet, "The Time of Your Life" by William Sargyon and "Oklahoma!" by Richard Rogers and Jeffrey O'Reilly. "The Continuing American Revolution" is being planned for next summer.
Beautification of West Campus and the area around the Pioneer Cemetery is already in progress, following certain regulations set down by the ARBA in Washington.
A proposal is being considered for a statute dedicated to the people of Kumawa.
Each of these activities follows one of three basic themes developed by the ARBA. The themes are "Hitage 76," which deals with America's heritage and values; "Festival U.S.A.," which deals with the American people; and "Horizons 78," which deals with "improvement in the quality of life for every American."
The KU Bicentennial Commission acts as a coordinating committee for all of these activities. Robinson said the commission would be collecting information on all bicentennial activities to file with the state and national bicentennial commissions.
Although some funding is available from both the state and national organizations, Robinson said, very little outside money can be raised. The programs are funded within a campus group's existing budget, he said. However, he said, the possibility of a fund-raising program would probably be discussed at the university's next meeting early in September.
The commission will also discuss when to award the bicentennial flag and the bicentennial logo, which will be sent to the University in recognition of its bicentennial Campus status, Robinson said.
Robinson said he was very pleased with the prompt response he received from the ARBA. The application was sent to the state commission commissions before going to the ARBA.
The crowd of students purchasing textbooks and school materials in the Kansas Union Bookstore should abate after today, but students who waited to buy their books may find many textbooks sold out. I DID a bookstore manager, bookstore manager, sell yesterday.
Only a few students took advantage of special weekend hours offered in hopes of enticing shoppers away from the traditionally crowded third day of enrollment and the first two days of classes, Christman said. Because some students will be as crowded as yesterday when some students waited in lines up to 30 minutes.
"It did pay us to be open last week," he said, "but we were a little disappointed in the number of students who bought books."

Beahon, assistant bookstore manager. The largest class without textbooks was Math 101, he said, because enrollment was increased from 600 students to 825.
"We'd really have had a difficult time if we were using mechanical cash registers," he said. "They're much slower and more difficult to repair when they break down."
In addition to the weekend hours, several other steps were taken to provide students with more information.
Fifteen computer cash registers added to the system, each could be tubulated. Christmastide cash registers were
