KANU series will study Depression and Kansas
By DAN PARELMAN Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
The KU division of continuing education and radio station KANU have received a grant to develop a radio series on Kansas in the Great Depression, the managing editor of the independent study section said recently.
A $17,110 grant from three humanities foundations will fund the 26-part series, "Making Do and Doing With It," Barbara Walkins, the managing editor.
Money for the grant was funded by the Kansas Committee for the Humanities, the Caroline Hewitt Foundation of National Endowment for the Humanities.
THE GRANT, signed Friday, follows the completion last spring of the first 26-part series, "The Kansas Immigrants II," which also was put together by the division and KANU and was broadcast on the station. The immigrant spots were composed of five to seven-minute spots on Kansas ethnic groups.
THE FIRST broadcast of the new
age was presented after the
old one, in saturday's *M*刊.
"Unfortunately, it's a very timely topic because of the economy." Watkie
She said some of the topics the series would tackle were the Dust Bowl, migrants, the changing roles of women, the radical response and the effect of the Depression on different ethnic groups.
Robert Oppenheimer, assistant professor of history and an adviser for the project, said that the Depression did hardship to some minority groups.
"If you talk to Native Americans,
it says that what depression?" "Opinions calling it a lie."
THE DEPRESSION was the best
time for some Indians, blacks and Mexicans because the government provided steady employment, he said.
Opheimer, who specializes in the study of Latin America, said many Mexican farmers migrated out of the country to become farmers, because of the Dust Bowl.
Ann Schofield, assistant professor of American Studies, will also be an adjunct faculty member.
She said women who worked during the Depression had faced discrimination in hiring because employers said that working women took jobs away from fathers, who the employers thought needed work more desperately.
WATKINS SAID researchers also would probe radical responses to the response.
"In the late '30s, KU was accused of harboring a government agent." He said.
Howard Dall, director of KANU, said the Dist Bowl should be an interesting venue.
"I grew up in Manhattan and my parents use to tell me about the skies over there."
Hill created The Kansas Immigrants,
the precursor of The Kansas Immi-
He said one of the reasons he wanted to do a show on the state was to dispel the notion that Kansas was not more than "a dusty, dry, airful place to go."
He said that another value of the immigrants series was the wide dispersal of the information.
WATKINS SAID that over 20 Kansas radio stations had run the series and over 80 newspapers, including the Chicago Times, had printed excerpts of the scripts.
Schools and libraries throughout the state have purchased bound volumes
Watkins said that the new series also would be made available to radio stations, newspapers, schools and libraries.

Bberger said his speech would review the problems in Lebanon, including the occupation by Israel of southern Lebanon. The part Zionism plays in the geo-politics of Israel will also be discussed, he said.
KABBI ELMER BERGER will speak on "The Role of Zionism in the Middle East" at 7:30 p.m. in the ballroom of the Kansas Union. The General Union of Palestinian Students and the Coalition for the Defense of Palestinian Rights is sponsoring his appearance.
BERGER IS a self-ordained Jewish leader, Kort said, one whom many people also describe as an anti-Semite. She said he played on the fear of American Jews, trying to convince them that supporting Jews in other countries weakened their own positions.
Hillel says differing talks on same day a coincidence

"I think in many senses he's a victim of being a minority," she said, explaining that Berger is one of the Jews with a view against Zionism.
BERGER SAID he was not aware that Benvenisti would speak at the same time. "He's a kind of level-headed, moderate guy." Berger said. "I don't know how much competition I be having."

"It is an odd situation, to say the least." Ellen Kurt, the adviser, said. "I don't believe this was done on my side." Here, there was an nag malice aforethought."
Kort said that Zionism was the movement of Jews back to their homeland, a movement that did not involve any direct involvement of Israel as a sovereign state.

Both the former deputy mayor of Jerusalem and an anti-Zionist rabbi will speak Thursday night at the University of Kansas, but the fact is that the same judge, the same noun just is a coincidence. The Hillary adviser said yesterday.
Plans for Benvenist's visit were made before she knew that Berger was coming to the KU, Kort said. However, Huda Siman, leader of the Coalition, said she thought that the Jewish groups acted in response to Berger's visit, which was planned two months ago.
Hillel and the American Israeli Friendship Organization are sponsoring Meron Benvenisti, former deputy mayor of Jerusalem. He will speak at 8 a.m. in 3193 Westec Hall on Friday in the Middle East; An Update.
Kort said, "All I can tell you is that this has nothing to do with them."
"Now they think we are very active and we want to do something, and so they do something," Slman said.

KU police will enforce regulations on mopeds
By BONAR MENNINGER Staff Reporter
KU police are in the midst of a crackdown on mopeds being driven on campus sidewalks, according to a lieutenant with the department.
Lt. Jeanne Longaker said last week that because of complaints received from pedestrians forced to dodge the motorized bicycles, the department will be enforcing the city ordinance against violation of motor vehicles on sidewalks.
She also said that complaints have been received about mops disrespectful to them.
LONGAKER SAID a notice had been run in the University Daily Kansan a month ago notifying the public of the new vehicle laws as they relate to proposed.
Longaker said that complaints have trickled off lately, probably because cooler weather means less moped traffic.
"We haven't had any moped-pedestrian accidents, but we have had some near misses." Longaker said. "We had two or three complaints a day while, so that is why we went ahead and run the articles in the paper."
She said that it was acceptable for students to pedal their mopeds on
sidewalks as long as the motor was not running.
The fine for operating a motor vehicle on the sidewalk is $25, according to Judy Pope, Douglas County court clerk.
SEVERAL STUDENTS strolling across campus recently agreed that mopeds on sidewalks posed a danger for walkers.
Don Kearns, director of parking services, said that according to regulations, mopeds could be parked at any bicycle or motorcycle parking area, but there was no additional crackdown underway regarding illegally parked mopeds.
"I think the new policy is a real good idea. They should be ridden on the streets as far as I'm concerned. I've almost been run over a couple of times," said Paul Hamp, Shawnee freshman.
THERE ARE NO figures available on the number of mopeds registered with the parking service. However, Brent Morrison, sales manager for Horizons Suzuki-Yamaha motorcycle shop, said between both Horizons stores in Lawrence, over 2,000 mopeds held there and they appeared on the market in 1978.
A moped rider echoed Hamp's views. "It is too easy to hit somebody. I try to walk my moped as much as I can," said job Turner, Hazel Park, Mich., senior.
