Prof returns to Spanish church
On June 13, just two weeks after their finals, 104 KU students will head for Europe.
A 12th century religious pilgrim would probably journey either to Rome to see the Pope; to Jerusalem, the Holy City; or to Santiago, Spain, to the Cathedral of St. James.
Student Union Activities (SUA) is sponsoring two flights to Europe this summer. Students taking the first flight travel to Europe for two months for $270.
Europe flight draws crowd
The second flight leaves August 8 and returns in September; cost for this flight is $305.
The Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, located in the northwest of Spain, is also the goal of a University of Kansas professor who seeks to study its significance in the history of medieval art.
The June flight flies from New York to Paris and from there students are on their own. A few of the students are enrolled independently in study courses in Europe, and others are going to do research for theses, but most plan to just travel.
MARILYN STOKSTAD, PROFESSOR of art history, chairman of the history of art department, and director of the KU Museum of Art, has received an $11,000 grant to make the study.
The June flight is filled up, but reservations can be made on the August flight until June 28.
This is not the first time the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela has come under the eye of Miss Stokstad, for she studied it for her Ph.D. thesis at the University of Michigan.
Miss Stokstad received the B.A. from Carleton, the M.A. from Michigan State University, and the Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. She has studied under a Fulbright fellowship to Norway, an AAUW fellowship to Spain, a Watkins summer fellowship and two research fellowships from KU.
The grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities, will send Miss Stokstad to Spain for the summer of 1967 and the spring and summer of 1968.
She came to KU in 1958 and became chairman of the department of the history of art in 1962.

"THE CATHEDRAL IS THE largest body of Romanesque sculpture from one workshop in existence," Miss Stokstad said. "As the goal of one of the most important medieval pilgrimages, the Cathedral played a key role in the development and dissemination of the Romanesque style in architecture and the visual arts during the 11th and 12th centuries."
Her project is composed of three parts: a definition of the distinctive Compostelan style, its origin and development through the 12th century; the reconstruction of the 12th century appearance of the cathedral and an analysis of the significance of the work of the Compostelan sculptors to European art.
Pharmacy building up by fall
Even though campus construction projects are progressing on schedule, only one new building will be ready for use by next fall semester, Keith Lawton, director of plant development said yesterday.
The $200,000 pharmaceutical building, located west of Iowa Street and south of 19th Street, is now 30 per cent completed and should be ready by September, Lawton said.
LAWTON SAID the mechanical engineering building and Malott Laboratories will undergo remodeling this summer.
SCHEDULED FOR completion the first of next year is the U.S. Geological Survey Building located west of Iowa Street just north of the pharmaceutical building.
The Spencer Library, located in back of Strong Hall, "appears to be pretty much on schedule" and should be ready one year from now, Lawton said.

He said the experimental biological research building, under construction now east of Summerfield Hall, should be completed by the first semester of 1968.
With the exception of the summer remodeling, there will be no construction projects started this summer, Lawton said.
