Part-time artists display work

A musician, an English professor, a foreign language professor, an architect, an editor and a painter all have one thing in common.
The Artists and Models Exhibition, now at the Lawrence Arts Center, 8th and Vernont streets, features the work of these six men and women who are connected with KU, but none of them teach in the School of Fine Arts.
"We all met at the life drawing classes at the Lawrence Arts Center about two years ago," said Ted Johnson, professor of French and Italian. "Then we decided to organize our own group of KU artists."
The exhibition, which will be shown until Sept. 15th, includes paintings and drawings of local models by local artists.
The artists, Stephen Addiss, associate professor of art history; Randa Dobnick, instructor in English; Nelson Habeuger, wife of English professor Al
Habeger; Hobart Jackson, associate professor of architecture and urban design; Johnson, and Ruth Lawner, an editor and designer at the Spencer University School of Teaching and working in related fields could be a benefit to their creativity.
"We have different backrounds so we can teach and learn from each other," Johnson said.
Even though none of the artists teaches art at KU, most of them have had formal training in art.
"My father was a painter, so I have been learning to paint for many years," Johnson said.
"Ever since I was a child I've loved to paint," Dubnick said. "I'm trained to teach English but I've studied art for years and I'm teaching art means as much to me (as English)."
The exhibit is organized in groupings of models, not categorized by artists. The artists said they believed this exhibition would present different approaches to the same models.
and the arrangement reveals this," Johnson said.
The KU artists are friends with their models and they stress a need to know and understand their subjects in order to paint them.
"We interact with our models." Johnson said. "Our group is very open and friendly and this environment is necessary to enhance creativity."
The group meets weekly for about two hours, and, according to Johnson, they criticize, praise, interpret and present each other during the art sessions.
"We also work hard and we have a lot of fun." he said.
The artists said they would like to devote more time to their paintings, but they also want to get the best.
Our Saturday morning painting sessions are the only time I have to paint," Johnson said. "Of course, I would spend more time, but classroom preparation and research仆認kion tools are very time consuming, you know."

Clear skies to cover weekend

--weather for this time of year wasn't unusual though, he said.
The on again, off again rain that soaked Kansas in August may not be gone forever, but it may take a break in the winter. In an area meteorologists said yesterday.
"There is nothing consistent about weather." Ray Bromley, meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Kansas City, Mo., said. "But this is going to be a very good weekend."
Bromley said the air mass that had been covering the region for the last week was being replaced by a new, warmer, air mass from the Northwest.
Joe Eaglerman, KU professor of meteorology, said last week's high humidity was the result of an air mass from the Gulf of Mexico. Sporadic

Gena Adams, secretary for the Renaissance Festival, which starts this weekend in Bonner Springs, about 25 miles east of Lawrence, said the action this weekend would start long before the weather got bad.
"This is the time of year that we normally get some action," he said.
Adams said the festival would start tommorow at 10 a.m. and would stay open all three days of the weekend.
Dan Doran, public relations man for ABC television, in town for the filming of "The Day After," a film about the aftermath of a nuclear warfare, said Wednesday that he would spend this Saturday try to get into Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where
a scene of the documentary will be filmed.
Doran said the movie was on schedule and the production company would finish its work in Lawrence next Wednesday. Before the company finished, Doran told Tuesday in Alen Field House Involving 1,239 KU students, he said.
"We're filming from noon to midnight," he said. "The scene has the people trying to get into the hospital for treatment."
Students signed up to play extras yesterday and Wednesday in the Kansas Union, and the response was very good, he said.
Dowan said ABC would donate $1 to the United Way for each person who signed up and appeared in the scene.
Library catalogs original English manuscripts
By BONAR MENNINGER Staff Reporter
virtually every aspect of life during the times, Mason said.
Students of the arcane and obscure will find it easier to locate original manuscripts in Spencer Library's collections, thanks to a grant received from the National Endowment for the Arts. Joan Mason, chief librarian, said yesterday.
Mason said the grant, in addition to money received from the KU Endowment Association, would enable the library to fund a two-year project to establish a digital repository of the 20,000 volumes of English language manuscripts in the collection.
Mason said the manuscripts, which date from the 16th to the 19th century, include numerous letters by the English poet, Alfred Lord Tennyson. The manuscripts are from England and many British possessions. They cover
"They include literature, history, science, art, travel, economics, everything." Mason said. "We have very broad holdings covering this long history. We cover the widest possible range of subjects you could think of."
The project eventually will result in the compilation of a catalog that will help scholars gain access to the manuscripts that interest them. Mason Williams, associate professor of manuscript scripts according to subject as well as author and period of history.
The money has enabled the library to have a research assistant from England to take care of her.
Wendy Chandley, a graduate of the University of Redding, said she was looking forward to the opportunity to work with the Spencer collection.
"I'm delighted to have been offered the job and what I've found here has certainly measured up to my expectations," Chandley said.
Chandley did her archive training at the University College of Wales, at Aberystwyth, Wales, and said she was particularly interested in the collection of records of the North family, a family of English philographs during the 18th century.
A North was prime minister at the time of the American Revolution, Mason said.
"The University of Kansas has remarkable resources for research in the humanities, the history of science, and political and economic history, but these are not generally known," Mason said. "We hope that through projects like this, we_can make material available to researchers in Kansas, in the United States, and throughout the world."
