Moonies leave Lawrence behind
Staff Writer
By RICK PADDEN
The Unification Church, a worldwide religious organization that once was active in Lawrence, has packed up and moved to Wichita.
The church is a Christian fundamentalist organization, founded in 1854 in Korea, which offers a new interpretation of the Bible.
The church's members professe a vowure past before he could believe that Christ died before he could believe that God, and that the Rev. Sun Myung Oh complete that work by eliminating the world and creating a "heaven on earth" for the workings of the church's members.
of Kansas through an organization called the Collegiate Association for the Research of Principles (CARP), and its Lawrence of Principles were in a rented house at 700 Ohio Street.
The church was active at the University
A UNIFICATION church official said recently that, at one time, nearly 500 people at KU participated in CARP, which spanned from the late 1970s and discussions about psychic phenomena.
The church also had active chapters located in Manhattan and Emoria, but in November 1975 it shifted its centers to Wichita and Kansas City, Mo.
The Moon follower, often referred to as Moonesi, no longer have a central communication role.
Tim Miller, assistant professor of religion at KU who has studied the activities of the
Rose said yesterday that injuries in the labs were seldom serious enough to require hospitalization. He said the only serious accidents he could remember in his 14 years with the department had occurred recently.
Protective eyewear, shields and rubber gloves have helped to prevent fatal accidents in the chemistry laboratories of Malott Hall, according to Jack Rose, director of laboratories in the chemistry department.
Burman was injured last spring in a lab explosion and was blinded for several days. Burman said that he had fully recovered, but there is still no worth of work as a result of the accident.
Few serious injuries in Malott laboratories

STITT SUFFERED burns on his hands
for five weeks ago in a fire flash. He, to-
mos and his family were moved.
Two graduate students, Anand Burman, Madison, India, and Richard Stitt, Lawrence, were injured in unrelated incidents.
Laboratory safety standards vary, Rose said, depending upon whether the student is an undergraduate or graduate student. State law requires that all students wear protective eyewear, but the degree of protection required varies. Undergraduates wear full goggles, and graduate students may wear special protective glasses.
WHEN A PROPOSED addition to Malott is built, Rose said, the heating and cooling system will be more efficient; the system will be able to move more air, eliminating the chemical smell that sometimes permeates the hallways. The oven is only in the planning stages. Rose said.
In addition to eye gear, ventilation hoods and Plexiglass shields are provided in the labs to protect students from potentially dangerous chemical fumes or explosions. Showers also are provided in case a dangerous chemical is spilled.
Rose said it was difficult to set up rules for the labs because few guidelines apply to KU. He said he tried to have the labs meet standards set by the Occupational Safety Council, which required observed safety techniques in other labs and had implemented some of them. Rose said that in cases of flash fires, the type of clothing worn could determine the severity of any burns received. Instructors determine what dress standards they will enforce.
"BUT IT'S TOUGH in these libertarian times to tell someone he can't come into the house."
When a student is injured, he is taken to Watkins Hospital for treatment.
"No matter how minor the injury, we check the student health services people check them out." Rose said, adding that some students don't think their injuries weren't very serious.
Miller and Donaldson said they hadn't board of any CARP activity at the University.
JOIN DONALDSON, a graduate student in the School of Religion, has written a research paper about the organization. He said that the movement hadn't been getting much response in the area and that unintended results may have made the church less effective.
Engineering students and faculty members will be able to do faster and easier research because of a grant to develop and improve information retrieval from computers.
Grant to speed engineers' work with computers
Dale Rummer, associate professor of electrical engineering and principal investigator for the program, said yesterday that the new system saved time and made the retrieval of engineering information easier.
The National Science Foundation awarded the University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., a grant to carry out a research program in the areas of Technical Information Services (STIS).
One of the problems with using the STIS is that the computer is in California, Humbermer.

san. The system is limited to selected classes, he said, but anyone can go to the Science Library in Malott to use it.
Capt. Walter Parmer of the Lawrence Fire Department said he couldn't remember the last time a fire call had been turned in from Malott.
He said that in his 19 years in the department, Malott had accounted for only on or two calls a year, and half of those calls were false alarms. The rest of them were minor incidents, such as small fires from faulty light fixtures.
THE CHURCH SENDS many of its members on fund-raising projects to earn money to maintain its more than 200 "unification centers" throughout the states.
ROSE SAID the 22-year-old building wasn't a fire hazard. "Our safety requirements are geared almost 100 per cent toward the protection of life," he said.
The solicitors working in the Lawrence area are working on national mobile fundraising teams and have no connection with any Lawrence Unification center.
The church has been accused of not letting its fund-raisers, many of whom work 12 to 14 hours a day selling candy, flowers or candles, keep any of the money they bring in.
A SIX-YEAR church member from Germany, Werner Seubert, who is the assistant director at the Wichita center, said that the church had undergone some changes on the local level and that it had consolidated its operations in Wichita.
Seubert said that the organization didn't moved from Lawrence because of adverse publicity, but that local changes were the only reasons for the relocation.

Sabert said that many members of the Lawrence and Manhattan chapters had gone to Barrytown, N.Y., site of the church's seminary, to go through an in-depth training designed to heighten the member's understanding of their spiritual commitments.
He said that CARP was inactive now in Kansas, but that it was till operating in Missouri.

Fansher's parents had contended that affiliation with the church's Lawrence chapter had made their daughter mentally incompetent and court-ordered restraints were imposed on Fansher that had limited her travel and activities.
THE UNIFICATION Church has made national headlines for several years and is an important source of many American youths in Moon's teachings and because of the reactions of members' parents, who in some cases have accused the organization of brainwashing their
The church made headlines in Kansas in the summer of 1975 when the parents of two former KU seniors, Pan Fansher and Jan Osborne, attempted to break their daughters from the church's ranks through a process known as demograming.
A COURT BATTLE ensued when Fannsie and the Unification Church protested against a court ruling.
Fansher was granted her freedom by a Great Bend district judge, who said the restraints weren't justified. Fansher has shifted to mediationization despite the efforts of her parents.
