Huge Sculptures "Rock" Campus
By Hector Olave
Curiosity among students and the public yesterday was aroused by arrival of three new sculptures at the Museum of Art.
A big crane, two trucks and 15 men were putting the sculptures in the garden outside the Museum. Among them, a man, wearing a blue sweatshirt, white dirty jeans, and with a red face and long blond hair, shouted the commands to finish the task in proper way.

DALE ELDRED, a 33-year-old sculptor born in Minneapolis, Minn., who was taking care of the correct placement of his three largest sculptures, which will announce the opening of his show Friday.
The show, which includes the three sculptures outside the Museum and nine models for landscape sculptures and two relief wall plaques, will run from Nov. 5 to Dec. 12.
Eldred will attend a reception from 3 to 5 p.m. on Friday. This will be the first time in the history of the KU Museum of Art
SDS Adopts Viet Orphan
The members of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) have decided to adopt a Vietnamese child.
This decision at the Thursday meeting was favored over the proposal by John Garlinghouse, Salina junior and president of SDS, for a blood drive project for the victims of the Viet Nam war.
"SINCE NUMEROUS organizations are sponsoring blood drives for war victims and the donations are beginning to total more than the amount needed." Garlinghouse said, "the chapter felt its child adoption efforts would support another humanistic phase of the war relief effort."
A child between the ages of 5-15 years will be adopted by the chapter. The adoption will probably be handled through the Save the Children Federation, a non-partisan, non-profit war relief organization, according to Garlinhouse.
So the SDS members can become acquainted with their adopted child, the chapter will receive a picture and biographical sketch of the child.
KU'S SDS chapter will contribute $15 each month for supporting the child. This amount will be used for food, clothing, educational supplies and medical care in the best interest of the child, Garlinghouse said.
Taped Library Aids Students
A vocational library on tape, possibly unique among American colleges, is the outstanding feature of the Occupational Information Library in 116 Bailey.
Gathered by graduate students in the School of Education over the last 10 years, the library consists of taped interviews, representing about 600 different occupations.
Richard M. Rundquist, professor of education and library administrator, said he knows of no other library in the country with a similar collection.
THE SPECIAL value of the collection, Rundquist said, is in the nature of the tapes. They manage to retain the personality of the subject interviewed while providing occupational information.
that an artist whose works are being exhibited will attend the opening of the exhibit. He will discuss his work with anybody who wishes to speak with him.
ELDRED'S WORKS have been exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Walker Art Gallery in Minneapolis, the Nelson Gallery in Kansas City, and the Time-Life Building in New York.
Critics have said Eldred's sculptures have value in that they can be exhibited on a luxurious terrace of a modern building as well as on the rough soil of a desert.
"The Truug-Nichols Company of Kansas City, Mo., bought the biggest of the three sculptures here. I call it "Sisu." It weighs almost 8,000 pounds," Eldred said.
"THE PUBLIC doesn't necessarily have to like my work. They have to be envolved with it in some way and try to understand the meaning." Eldred said.
Eldred's background includes his studies in the University of Michigan, where he received his Bachelor's Degree; and in the University of Minnesota, where he obtained his Master's Degree. Although an artist, he studied on a football scholarship.
Most of his sculptures, some of them with about $2,000 in materials, were in the New Talent Exhibition in 1859.
