Art Museum Opens Season
A rare bronze cross, believed to be from the Byzantine period, will be exhibited for the first time Sunday during open house at the KU art museum.
The cross, part of the museum's permanent collection, is a gift from the KU Endowment Association. The
THE OLD PARROT
cross is surrounded by mystery, Bret Waller, museum curator, said, since no historical facts are known about it.
WORK BY ROBERT Sudlow, associate professor of drawing and painting, and the private collection of Oscar Salzer, art dealer, will also be displayed.
Sudlow's paintings include Grecian landscapes and figure studies.
The Salzer collection includes still-lifes and trompe Foil (fool the eye) painting. Subjects for the still-life works are fruit and flowers plus several "kitchen pieces" and vanitas paintings.
The artists represented in the Salzer collection painted in the 18th and 19th centuries in Dutch, German and Spanish schools.
KITCHEN PIECES, as the name suggests, depict kitchen scenes or arrangements of cooking utensils, Walter said. He explained that vanitas paintings recall the swift passage of time and are marked by an object such as an hour glass, almanac, or skull and crossbones.
The term "vanitas" comes from the expression "vanity, vanity, all is vanity," Waller said.
Special artistic skill is required to produce a trompe Poeil painting, Waller said. The concept underlying trompe Poeil work is to give a two dimensional object, canvas, a three dimensional appearance.
A "TROMPE L'OEIL" painting doesn't look like a painting, Michael Stoughton, museum registrar, said. Instead, when looking at the painting, the viewer has the impression that he could actually handle the objects in the picture.
Waller explained that there are two elements involved in the paintings aside from the artist's skill: muscular activity as the eye focuses on the painting and a change that appears to take place in the spatial arrangement of the picture when the viewer changes position.
THE SALZER and Sudlow collections will be displayed to the public through Nov. 1.
Parking space is not restricted near the gallery on Sundays.
The malarial diseases must not only be suppressed, they must be completely eradicated, said Dr. Edward F. Elsager, speaking on a vaccination for malarial disease, yesterday at Malott.
Malarial Pests Must Be Destroyed
Dr. Elslager, the developer of a widely used vaccination, Povan, for pinworms, lectured on "Long-term Protection Antimalarial", the first in the KU chemistry department's colloquium series this fall.
If the malarial pest, the pworm, which infects the intestine, is eradicated it will be the first in the history of man. However, malaria has been eradicated in the United States and in some countries where it was prevalent.
Tests for this experiment were made on monkeys and mice.
In developing the pinworm vaccination, Dr. Elslager and his staff realized that the medicine would have to be effective three or more months in a single dose. It also had to be fast-acting, non-irritating, and inexpensive.
"THE FIRST STEP toward eradication is the realization of medicine for the malarial diseases," he said. Millions of people live in regions where malarial diseases are a major health problem.
Finally the vaccination, Povan was found by Dr. Elslager to be effective against the pinworm.
Dr. Elsager cites one of the first problems encountered with the vaccine was administering it to the

TWO KU graduate papers on problems of city managers have been awarded first and second place by the International City Managers Association.

Recipients of the awards are Winston O. Franklin, Elgin, Ill., and Gordon L. Schrader, El Dorado. Both received their Master of Public Administration degrees from KU in June.
tropical natives. The people would put the pill in their mouth then go behind the barn and spit it out. Pretty soon a small mound of vaccine was found on the ground. To correct this problem the vaccine was administered intravenously.
DR. ELSLAGER used slides illustrating the chemical compounds used in the process of the vaccination's development and the final product.
Dr. Elsager offered encouragement for chemistry students whose experiments frequently turn black and sticky instead of crystallizing. If for no other reason than to lift the spirits, he suggested they make chlorguanide, an antimalarial, that turns a sparkling, white crystal. He added this happens quite frequently in the research laboratories.
Dr. Edward Elslager, a specialist in tropic disease control, is a chemist in the Parke-Davis Research Laboratories, at Ann Arbor, Mich. He is the author of 75 technical papers and holds several patents.
Franklin is now assistant to the city manager of Elgin, and Schrader is city manager of Osawatomie. Kan.
Franklin will receive the first place award of $300 and expenses to the annual city manager conference Sept. 30 in Chicago for his paper, "Related Factors in a Deteriorating Central Business District."
Schrader will receive the $200 award for second place at the conference. His paper dealt with "Police and Fire Integration."
Franklin received his A.B. from Ohio Wesleyan University in 1952.
