Woman Architect Displays Unique 'Arcollete' Art Work
"How much do I earn in making these arcolletes? Of course not very much. But I enjoy very much doing them," Mrs. Lili Rankin said.
Mrs. Rankin, sponsored by the Student Union Activities, inaugurated yesterday a collection of 12 projects that are being used all over the world. She calls her work "arcolletes," a special word with which she explained the relation between architects and craftsmen.
"THAT EXACTLY is what the word means; it represents the collaboration of the architect and craftsmans wherein the craft becomes an integral part of the basic architectural design. This exhibition demonstrates some of the steps taken in this direction" she said.

Arlene, Geneva, Switzerland.
Since 1957, she has been working with her arcolletes. She has participated in exhibits in many parts of the U.S. and Europe, including places as Munich and Brussels. In Pittsburgh, Pa., she was awarded the First Award Church Architects.
Many organizations and institutions have requested that Mrs. Rankin make her arcolletes for them. So, in many places in the U.S. and Europe are exhibited Mrs. Rankin's hangings.
"THIS SHOW has been basically organized to show the architects, with examples, what they and the craftsmans can do working together," Mrs. Rankin said.
Mrs. Rankin was born in Bohenia. She has been in the United States since 1947. She has made her home in this country and is now married to Charles Rankin, Douglas County Judge.
NOW A SPECIAL student in architecture at KU, Mrs. Rankin has studied in Kunstgewerbeschule, Wien, Austria; Akademie der Kunst, Munich, Germany; Salzburg, Austria; San Miguel
The show will run until Nov. 20 in the main floor of the Kansas Union.
The works were hung by members of Alpha Alpha Gamma, an association of women students from the Department of Architecture.
The problems in the field of education in the world community are increasing daily and cannot be solved except through interdependence, Laves said.

LAVES GAVE some of the advances that the U.S. had made in the field of higher education in the world community. He included the attempt to rid Latin American countries of their German cultural influence before World War II, the re-education program in Germany and Japan after the war, the Fulbright Plan, and the various other foreign aid plans such as the Point Four Program and AID.
"From about the mid-thirties until the present time there has been a considerable effort on the part of our government to stimulate the universities," he added.
HUSKERS ON SUSTAGEN
LAVES SAID the U.S. government has made some outstanding advances in this field of foreign relations through cultural exchanges.
Okay, the secret is out—it is not the players at Nebraska who have made the Huskers No. 2 nationally, its that sustagen, a high caloric liquid diet. According to Dr. Kenneth Rose, head of the Nebraska Student Health Center, sustagen takes about two hours to be absorbed into the body, while a full meal takes from four to six hours. Nebraska's players cat an early breakfast on game day of a steak and the trimings, then drink a glass of sustagen about noon.
Colleges and universities were urged to support the advancement of higher education in the world community last night by Walter H. C. Laves, chairman of the Department of Government at Indiana University and 1965-66 visiting Phi Beta Kappa scholar.
Guest Speaker Urges World Education Support
Speaking at the 75th anniversary of the founding of the KU chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, Laves told the group, "We are at a point where everything has been done by the government to show the potential and to lay the foundations for higher institutions to take the initiative."
