European scholar to lecture at KU on empire of Mongols
A lecture series to be held at the University of Kansas during October will focus on the Mongol Empire, Wallace Johnson, professor of East Asian languages and cultures, said yesterday.
The empire is the largest the world has ever known, Johnson said. The lecture series will feature world authorities on the subject, he said.
Eight of the 13 lectures in the series, "East-West Connections During the Mongol Period," will be taught by Prof. Bernard Boudreau, most important European scholar on China and central Asia, Johnson said.
JOHNSON SAID he had wanted Franke to come to KU for some time, and when the opportunity arose, he seized it and gathered other experts in the field for the lecture series.
"They're the best I could find," Johnson said.
Franke will give eight lectures on East-West connections, and the five other lectures will provide background information on the Mongol Empire, which at its height ruled all people from Peking to Budapest, from Teheran to Kiev, and influenced such different people as the
Chinese, Persians and Poles, Johnson said.
ANOTHER HIGHLIGHT of the series will be a slide presentation by Tora Mozi, of Tokai University in Japan, on the Japanese underwater archaeological expedition to recover Kubali Khan's invasion fleet. An article by Mozi on the same subject will appear in the November issue of National Geographic magazine, Johnson said.
Much of the invasion fleet was disabled or sunk in 1281 as it attempted to invade Japan. The Japanese called the typhoon that destroyed the fleet "kamikaze," which means divine wind.
Franke's lectures, which will begin at 7:30 p.m. in 433 Wescow, will be presented Oct. 4, 7, 12, 14, 19, 21, 28 and 28.
MOZAI'S WILL BE presented at 8 p.m., Oct.6, in the Spencer Museum of Art's large auditorium.
Lectures by the other four speakers will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union. "The Political Dynamics of the Mongol Expansion" is presented by Oct. 18, Abbas Khan. Oct. 18, "The Mongol Impact on Europe". Oct. 25, and "Mongol Shamanism". Oct. 29.
KU's United Fund goal set at $50,000 for 1983
The University of Kansas and Lawrence soon will kick off the 1983 fund campaign.
Chancellor Gene A. Budig sent a letter Tuesday to KU faculty and staff members asking them to contribute to the school's goal this year is to raise $50,000.
"Our campaign in the University will be modest, but we are confident that the generosity of our faculty and staff will make us able for us quickly to achieve our goal."
"As the United Fund begins its important annual campaign, I hope each of you will give careful thought to the goal and common goal." Budi said in the letter.
DAVID AMBLER, vice chancellor for student affairs and chairman of the University drive, said the total goal of the drive, which officially begins Sept. 28 with a kickoff breakfast, was $384,709.
Planners of the campaign have set Nov. 12 as the target date for finishing the drive, Amber said, adding that in the event the campaign was passed before the end of the campaign.
He said that last year the University raised about $48,000.
"We're going to have to squeeze a little harder to make our goal of $50,000,
Ambler he would send out packets to faculty and staff members informing them on how to contribute to the drive. Donations provide funding for organizations, community centers and public service groups in Lawrence.
THIS YEAR's campaign at the University is toned down from past campaigns, he said. Last year, each unit of the program developed unit had a United Way chairman.
League vocal on issues, not candidates
By JULIE HEABERLIN Staff Reporter
Although they are careful to stay out of the limelight of the current political campaigns, the Lawrence chapter of the League of Women Voters strongly supports several controversial issues, including the severance tax.
"We try not to come out strongly on issues during the campaign," Janet Meyer, co-president of the local organization, said recently. "Otherwise, it sometimes looks like we are indoorsor in an interest in the campaign itself is largely individual."
opposed capital punishment and the medium-security prison the Legislature appropriated funds for last session.
On the state level, she said, the League supported a severance tax and
LAST WEEK Gov. John Carlin broke ground for the new prison that will be attached to the present structure. The new prison is a divided issue between the Democrat and Republican gubernatorial candidates.
Sam Hardage, the Republican candidate, supports a new medium-security prison, but one that is not attached to the present building.
Meyer said the League supported funding for the community corrections program.
"The League supports rehabilitation because incarceration of any kind is
extremely expensive". Meyer said, of prison or on bail in the case. "We go to no brick in jail in very, very, very."
Meyer said the organization had studied capital punishment at both state and local levels, and opinions were divided.
DISCUSSING THE STATE economy. Meyer said the League's five member state lobbying group had pushed for a severance tax last spring after the Kansas tax law had been studied that concluded Kansas should have a broader tax base.
Carlin's proposed severance tax on oil and gas passed the House before it was narrowly defeated by the Senate during the last session.
Hardage opposes the severance tax.
On the national level, the organization is concerned about congressional candidates' positions on the Clean Air Act, she said.
THE LOCAL GROUP, which contains 155 members, will sponsor a candidates forum at 7 p.m. on Oct. 20 at the Lawrence Public Library, 709 Vermont St.
Meyer said members of the audience would be able to ask questions of state representative, county commission or other candidates during the informal meeting.
The state organization will also

Continuing Ed to aid law students, pros
By DAN PARELMAN Staff Reporter
This year hundreds of Kansas professionals and law students will need training to stay abreast of changes in their fields, and the RAPS division of research.
Robert Senecal, dean of Continuing Education, said recently that the division had programs for pharmacists, engineers, architects, and a pre-bar exam program for law students.
December law graduates of KU and Washburn University will participate this January in a bar review designed to the division and the KU School of Law.
"It's an intense three-week review session that tries to capilize in review materials."
school", Marilyn Long, Continuing Education program manager, said
ABOUT FIFTEN LAW professors write a course outline in their law specialties, such as civil or criminal law, Long said. Then the division compiles the outlines plus samples of past bar exams and a practice test, and gives these materials in a two-volume set to students enrolled in the review.
Although in recent years some students have had to take out loans to pay the participation fee, the cost is not necessarily caused by private companies. Lons said.
It costs each law student $250 to participate in the review, Long said. The money is used to pay for professors to teach the review and for printing costs.

Unlike the law program, KU's Continuing Education program for pharmacists competes with private companies. Long said.
The pharmacy program also is different in that it educates those already certified to work, said the state requires pharmacists to take 10 hours of continuing education in the classroom a year.
Since some pharmacists take classes because they are required to, not necessarily because they want to, they take workshops provided at no charge privately pharmaceutical companies who own the costs of workshops. Long said,

the previous year.
HOWEVER, KUIS PROGRAM,
which is 25 years old, is considered one
of the best in the world.
KU professors teach the seminars in cities centrally located in regions throughout the state — convenient for pharmacists to travel to. Also, many of the workshops are taught on Sundays so pharmacists who operate stores by themselves do not have to close their businesses for a day.
Long said enrollment for last year's
The programs in engineering and architecture, directed by Dale Grooby, are conducted on a larger scale than the pharmacy program. Engineers and students from all over the country and San Francisco have come to KU seminars and programs, Grooby said.
Last year 3,500 people participated in engineering programs.
