the first "monk" commercial aired during the World Series and Wimbledone competitions in 1986.
The little Jewish mok from Brooklyn was an instant success, according to company lit-
"He's into his role 800 percent," said Jim Nichols, account manager for the state government in Kansas, who engineered Brother Dominic's visit to KU. "He visits the big cities all the time.
"We have three very good copy centers at KU and it seemed like an appropriate place for Xero's goodwill armadillo to come. He wants to play in Kansas is just as important as Los Angeles."
WHEN THE COMMERCIAL first appeared,

Brother Dominic deserted the monastery recently for a promotional tour of the United States on behalf of Xerox Corp. Jack Eagle, the comedian who created the character in 1975, appeared at KU yesterday to preach the copy machine gospel.
Engle was less involved in promoting it, and he continued his stand-up routine. He also became "Mr. Cholesterol?" for Fleishman's Margarine or for Gillette, Carefree Gum and Hertz Rent-A-Cap.
The original ad has now racked up over 30 awards including two Clos, the advertising agency's first ever brand.
He enjoys playing Brother Dominic despite the rigors of his travel schedule.
"You never feel bad about stardom," he said. "I don't worry about becoming a star through commercials. I don't have an ego problem. I work hard and do good, working in obscurity and never become a star."
"RIGHT NOW PD like to have the man from American Express give a call so I could do one of those phone calls."
Besides spending the day at KU, Brother Dominic was proclaimed acting secretary of the university.
Eagle relies heavily on his comedic background for his tours.
"When I do Louis Armstrong impressions dressed up as Brother Dominic, it blows people's hearts."
"We've gotten letters from monks praising the commercials. I was at a reenactment festival in Houston recently and the monks there treated us as if our brothers had and get me up and preach," he said.
EAGLE HASN'T HAD a vacation in seven years and is looking to the future as a time to catch on up on projects he wants to do and to take some time off.
When the commercial first appeared there was some fear that the clergy might not like it, but they did. "It's hard," she said.
"This has been my life," he said. "The travel is difficult, I attend so many dimmers that it's difficult to keep my weight down. Sometimes we eat it, sometimes we eat meal, and sometimes the meal's a little too good,

Marxist communism. Those ideologies dictated that life was an accident, he said.
But, as he saw his children grow. Cleaver said, he realised that there had to be an order to life, and it was time for him to leave.
Cleaver
At the end of his speech, Cleaver fielded questions from the audience.
One person said that CARP was sponsoring the woman without letting people learn that CARP was sponsoring her.
Another student accused Cleaver of speaking against Africa.
"DID I SAY all of Africa is rotten? I said all of their dictators are rotten and need to be gotton."
When another person said that the church was trying to hide its sponsorship, Cleaver turned to Anne Nilson, Lawrence president of CARP, who introduced him at the beginning of the speech, and said, "Will you come up here and call yourself a Moonie so this will be quiet?"
The student, who did not wait to hear Cleaver's answer, raised his clenched fist and repeatedly
yelled "Africa is not rotten!" as he walked out of the auditorium.
inside Wescoe, several people gathered with
protecting Osmond and its connection with the
ship.
Mike Carper, Newton junior, said that his brother had been a member of the church for two years and had been brought out from under him as an influence in 1978 by deprogrammer Ted Patrick.
"We're not here to cause trouble," he said.
"We're here to let people know what's going on."
NILSON SAID earlier yesterday that the purpose of CARP was to educate young people about alternatives to Marxist-Leninist ideology and to unite the world.
Nilson said the Lawrence chapter of the association had two active members. CARP has been in Lawrence only since September, she said. The speech was the first program it had sponsored.
Cleaver said he became interested in the Unification Church after meeting some members of the church.

think we have to consider this very conscientiously," said Commission Vickie Thom-
MARTIN DICKINSON, president of the chamber, said that despite the deferral, the chamber will remain in power.
Annexing the property is a large issue and would affect most of the community, and therefore further study is not uncalled for, he said.

The other site is for 100 acres of Dragstir Road and south where 15th Street would be if it were built there.
THE SECOND SITE would be good for high-technology types of industries, Toebben said. Such industries might be involved both in research and light manufacturing, he said.
Toebben said, "That site lends itself very well to traditional industrial employers who are very interested in a railroad (and) a highway and who might want to be close to the airport."
The chamber endorsed two sites because they are of different types, Toebben said.
The 275-acre site is better suited to more traditional industrial development, he said, while the Dragstrip Road site might be more attractive to high-tech firms.
