UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
B
Ox found for mural display Watkins salaries can't-
By Bob Butler Kansan Staff Reporter
Last fall, the Daily Kansan published an article about a KU professor who could not find an ox.
Less than a week after the article appeared, he found four.
Raymond Eastwood, professor of drawing and painting, began his search for the beast after he was commissioned last fall by the Farmer's State Bank of Gardner to paint a mural depicting the site where the Oregon and Santa Fe Trails branched off to the west and south-west. Gardner is reputed to have been built on the site of that fork.
"I had to have real oxen," Eastwood said, "because they walk differently from horses or cows. There's something about the way they bend their fetlocks (hooves)."
His search ended soon after the Kansan article appeared. He was invited to come to the
Benjamin Stables in Kansas City, Mo., where a western town is being built. The stables had oxen.
"I crawled around in knee-deep mud taking all kinds of pictures of those beasts," Eastwood said. "I got pictures of them walking and standing still and from all angles."
He said he used the photographs plus models of horses and wagons, and numerous other photos as painting references. The mural, measuring about 18 feet by 6 feet, is now nearly completed.
But Eastwood also had to lick a second problem.
"Besides oxen, I had trouble finding sunflowers in the winter," he said. "How do you like that? In the Sunflower State the only sunflower I could find was in my own back yard, and it was in pretty bad shape. I finally got my sunflowers from a firm in New York that grows them for birdseed."

KU stock holdings featured in 'U.S. News'
By Ron Yates Kansan Staff Reporter
KU's Endowment Association has a total of $22 million invested in 350 companies throughout the United States—the most widely scattered holdings of any university in America, Irvin E. Youngberg, executive secretary of the Endowment Association, said.
Youngberg's comments were in reference to an article in the March 4 issue of U.S. News & World Report magazine, which told how several American universities, including KU, have invested their money in stocks and bonds.
Youngberg said the $22 million KU has invested includes assets
in stocks, bonds and real estate.
In addition, KU owns six office buildings and 32,000 acres of farm land in Kansas. The Endowment Association received a 5.2 per cent return in dividends in 1967 from the $22 million it invested—or about $1,144,000, he said.
KU owns the largest number of its stocks in the Phillips Petroleum Co. of which Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe is a board member.
Youngberg said the Endowment Association has about 45 per cent of its total endowments invested in common stocks and bonds. KU does not speculate in the stock market; rather it seeks a steady return on its money. The rest of
the money in the Endowment Association is used to provide scholarships for KU students and to construct new buildings on campus, he said.
KU ranks well below other universities in the amount of its largest single investment which is 7,100 shares totaling $385,000 in Phillips Petroleum Co.
According to U.S. News & World Report, Harvard University had the largest single investment of all universities with a total of 92,109 shares totaling $45,-824,000 in IBM stock.
Kimberly-Clark, General Motors, Panhandle Eastern, Christiana, Kansas Power & Light, Standard Oil of California and Continental Oil.
In addition to the Phillips Petroleum Co. stock, KU also owns large amounts of stock in Standard Oil of New Jersey, AT&T,
Britain drinks bubbly in growing quantities
Britain, fast becoming a nation of champagne drinkers, already is imbibing more than five million bottles every year and importing more of the bubbly than all the Common Market countries combined. In 1967, sales of champagne rose by 12 per cent.
Right now the top doctor's salary, without longevity raises, could go no higher than $17,736 a year.
Watkins' problem isn't getting skilled doctors, it's getting doctors at all.
"The situation now," Schweigel said, "is totally unrealistic. And as the student population increases, so will the problem."
Professors write text
Two KU professors have collaborated to prepare a new senior and graduate level textbook in structural analysis to be published in April by Prentice-Hall, Inc.
The book is "Matrix Analysis for Structural Engineers," by William Max Lucas, acting chairman of the department of architecture and architectural engineering, and Nicholas Willems, professor of civil engineering.
