By VALOREE ARMSTRONG

Millions of bells will ring simultaneously across the country at noon Eastern time Thursday to mark state and local celebrations of the 200th anniversary of the signing of the Constitution.
At the University of Kansas, Calder M. Pickett, Clyde M. Reed distinguished professor of journalism, will help celebrate the bicentennial with the lecture " 'We the People': 1787 Revisited."
His speech, at 8 p.m. Wednesday in the Kansas Union's Woodruff Auditorium is free
Pickett confessed that the Constitution, as a subject, is not all that jazzy. But he plans to bring the 200 year-old and music from the period, he said.
Children surround McGruff the Crime Dog at the Stouffer Place Crime Prevention-Safety Free Festival. The festival, sponsored by the KU police department, took place Saturday.
In Topeka, almost 200 immigrants will become citizens on the south steps of the state Capitol during a naturalization ceremony performed by U.S. District Judge Richard Rogers.
Each of the new citizens will be able to make a free telephone call to anywhere in the world, compliments of ATT. ATT will set up a bank of at least 100 State Historical Society, 10th Street and Jackson Street, for the occasion.
Gov. Mike Hayden will speak briefly at the Capitol, and Judge Deanell Tacha of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will speak at the two hour ceremony.
Their remarks are to be highlighted with a fly-over by the Kansas Air National Guard, musical entertainment from Sweet Adelines, a national women's singing group, the Fife and Drum Band and bands from Hutchinson High School and Washburn University.
Each state will have similar celebrations in conjunction with the national celebration of the Constitution's bicentennial, said State Sen. Jeanne Hoffer, R-Topeka, who is a member of the Kansas Commission on the Bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution.
In Lawnery, Judge Fred Six of the Kansas Court of Appeals will speak
in honor of the bicentennial at 11 a.m.
Thursday in the Division II courtroom in the Judicial and Law Enforcement Center, 111 E. 11th St.
The Douglas County Historical Society will celebrate the event at 6 p.m. Thursday in South Park near the bandstand with patriotic poems, songs and selected readings on the Constitution.
Study abroad may reinstate Polish exchange agreement
If you want to know about the ads in the Kansan, ask Bill. He knows them all. If you want to know how the Jayhawks are doing, you can ask Bill about that, too. He's one of the Jayhawk's biggest fans and he follows them every day in the sports pages of the University Daily Kansan.
A student exchange agreement between the University of Kansas and the University of Warsaw in Poland ended last spring, but the office of study abroad is evaluating the program and may reinstate it.
Mary Elizabeth Gwin, director of the office of study abroad, said there were no specific negotiations going on to reinstate the agreement, which expired last May. But KU is interested in continuing the program, she said.

about how much bold type will enhance the ideas presented in an ad and how much is too much.
By JENNIFER ROWLAND
Gwin said the agreement was allowed to run out last spring because of routine program evaluation.
"I don't have a style bold enough for some people."
"There is a definite hope that we will begin our program again in the near future," she said. "The problem is that it's very difficult to deal with administrations in Iron Curtain countries."
He sets a lot of bold type. In fact, he sets a lot of type. He's been working on Kansan ads for over 20 years and he's developed a sixth sense for fine tuning ad copy so that it looks just right. That means making some judgment calls
Bill's job may sound like a lot of late night typing to you but it's a skill to him. He cares about it. He cares about the Kansan. And most of all, he cares about doing a good job for you.
If the program is reinstated, the office will run it as part of a move to place exchange programs under its jurisdiction, Gwin said. In the past, the program has been directed by several different faculty members.
Gwin said that the exchange was for students in any major who were

"Here you're dealing with a communist-ruled country and this is the first time anybody had been able to break through and establish a direct university to university exchange in the United States and Poland," he said.
A committee made up of KU administrators and professors with interests in Poland could be appointed within the next two months. Next September would be the earliest the program could be reinstated, Gwin said.
interested in studying in Poland. Evaluation of the Polish exchange program will include looking at different Polish universities where students could find the best education and looking at the field of study of students who would sign up for the program, she said.
Fletcher negotiated in 1975 with the rector of the University of Warsaw, the American Studies Institute at the University of Warsaw, the Ministry of Higher Education and the Ministry of Affairs in the Polish government.
"Our reason for doing this was not political. There are other considerations."
Negotiations might include contact with universities in Krakow, Poznan and Warsaw. Gwin said.
She said that in the past KU had sent undergraduates to Poland and had accepted graduate and post-graduate students.
exchange program, said that first exchange was a breakthrough.
The first exchange was in the late 1960s, when Oswald Prentiss Backus, former professor of history, organized a exchange with a university in Poznan.
William C. Fletcher, director of Soviet and East European studies and a past organizer of the Polish
Under that agreement, U.S. students studied Polish language and culture in a year-long program at the University of Warsaw, and Polish students studied U.S. culture and language at KU. That agreement lasted for 12 years, which was longer than expected. Fletcher said.
From two to 10 pairs of students were participating in the exchange at any given time, he said. After becoming proficient in the language, the students would enroll in courses in their majors.
"The object was to have you study in the university once you learned the subject."
