Museum Shows New Art Works
The recent gifts and acquisitions of the Art Museum are now on display in a special summer exhibition from 8 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 1:30-4:45 p.m. on Sunday, reports Gerald Bernstein, acting director of the museum
The exhibit represents the entire year's acquisitions and varies from the Egyptian sarcophagus male head which dates back to 300 B.C. to the contemporary, represented by a painting "The Cathedral," by Rene Portocarrero painted in Cuba in 1954.
VARIOUS PERIODS in art history are represented and according to Bernstein, it is the variety that makes the exhibit unique.
The Renaissance is represented in both a religious way and a secular way. The religious aspect is displayed by paintings of two saints, St. Joseph and St. Anthony, by Giovanna Martini da Udine, who painted them during the 16th century in Italy. The secularism is represented by burss of Vitalio and Nero which were made by Pietro Tacca during the second half of the 16th century.
The Orient is portrayed by a bust of Kwan Yin, the goddess of mercy, which was made during the Sui Dynasty in the seventh century. This work is a gift of the Elizabeth M. Watson Fund of the Endowment Association.
Also on display is Seymour Lipton's "Avenger" which is a gift of the senior class of 1961.
Lawson New ISU Coach
Wes Santee, KU's former great miler whose school record was broken by Bill Dotson last month, will take charge of the Jayhawker track program effective Aug. 1.
Head Coach Bill Easton is in Malaya on a state department-sponsored trip and will not return to the United States until September.
KU was left without a coach when Bob Lawson, assistant track coach at KU for the past two years, was named head track and field coach at Iowa State University at Ames, replacing Burl Berry, who resigned.
Lawson is considered one of the finest all-around track performers ever developed at Southern California. He consistently scored high in national decathlon competition, despite the fact he was primarily a hurdler.
He attended high school at Aberdeen, Wash., where he earned allstate football selection at end in 1954. He came to Kansas from Oregon State where he served one year as assistant coach, while earning a master's degree in education. He was a freshman coach the previous year at Southern California.
New Bids Offered On Library Work
Improvement of Watson Library physical facilities is closer to completion this week after re-bidding on contracts for plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning.
The low bid, by a Lawrence construction company, is $280,280. Keith Lawton, vice chancellor for physical plant operations, said he expects the contract to be awarded sometime this week. Three other firms made bids.
Contracts for general improvement, electrical work, and work on the stacks have already been awarded. A bid of 5,280 has been given for new walkways, steps, and pavement widening in the building and grounds area.
KU Grad To Ethiopia
A KU graduate will accompany three other newsmen on a U.S. State Department trip to Ethiopia to hold seminars on American newspaper reporting methods.
He is George L. Brown Jr., a noted Colorado journalist and the first Negro Colorado state senator. He was elected in 1956.
PICNIC, ANYONE?—Here Marcia Myers, Topeka senior, puts the finishing touches on a bulletin board display telling of the Corbin Hall picnic tomorrow. Looking on is Mary Nan Seamman, Tarkio, Mo., senior. About 200 women are expected to attend the picnic.
Corbin Women Plan July 4th Celebration
The picnic will start at 6 p.m. so that the women can attend the fireworks display sponsored by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce to be held in Memorial Stadium at 8:30 p.m.
What's a Fourth of July without a picnic? That's how the women of Corbin Hall feel, so they are going to have a picnic tomorrow west of Potter Lake.
THERE WILL BE recreation provided at the picnic, according to Mary Nan Scamman, the picnic chairman. 'If the girls will wear
sports clothes and come to the picnic in the spirit of the holiday, we anticipate that everyone will enjoy the food and fun," Miss Scamman said.
The picnic committee is Cathy Cochran, arrangements; Linda Brehm, food; Sara Woodburn, recreation; Jackie Hawkins, bulletin board; Carol McCoy, invitations, and Marcia Myers, bulletin board.
The food will be served as box lunches and will be free.
The plans are made, the women are ready and one thing's missing—sorry chaps, its for women only.
Cancer Scientist Studies Teen-age Smoking Reasons
By Louis Cassels United Press International
WASHINGTON — Parents who don't want their children to smoke had better give up the habit themselves.
Tuesday, July 3. 1962 Summer Session Kansan Page 3
Why do they do it? This question especially interested Dr. Daniel Horn, a cancer society scientist who helped to make one of the pioneering studies linking smoking to lung cancer.
This stern and widely-unwelcome advice comes from the American Cancer Society. More accurately, it stands out in the findings of a survey conducted by the society among high school students.
One boy out of five begins smoking by the time he's in the ninth grade. By the senior year of high school, 44 per cent of the boys are smoking. Girls are slightly less likely to smoke, but 29 per cent of them are lighting up gaspers before they're out of high school.
The survey showed that millions of teen-agers are cultivating the cigarette habit, despite all of the medical warnings of recent years that it may contribute to lung cancer or heart disease.
Taking all grades and both sexes into account, approximately one-third of our high school youngsters are regular cigarette smokers.
Dr. Wescoe was named to a four-year term on the board of college education and church vocations last week at Detroit.
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe has been elected a lay leader of the newly-merged Lutheran Church of America.
Wescoe To Position
There were more than 200 pastors and laymen named to various key agencies of the church at the merger convention.
Dr. Horn could understand how adults, hooked to the habit, might find endless excuses for not breaking it. But he was appalled by the sight of so many youngsters deliberately developing the same hazardous addiction. Through carefully constructed questions which were asked of all the young people in the survey, he sought to determine what motivated them to smoke.
The findings can only be disquieting to any parent who has clung to the notion that he can warn his children off cigarettes, while continuing to use them himself.
The "most important" single influence in determining whether a youngster smokes, Dr. Horn found, is "whether or not his parents smoke."
In statistical terms, a youth is twice as likely to begin smoking in high school if both his parents smoke than he is if neither parent smokes.
"What is most revealing," says Dr. Horn, "is that if one or both parents have given up smoking, the rate of student smoking drops down to about the same level as among children whose parents have never smoked."
There are a lot more figures of the same general tenor. What they add up to, says Dr. Horn, is that "children's smoking is largely dependent on parental example."
Dr. Horn hopes that this finding may serve as "a powerful tool to the modification of adult smoking behavior."
"Quite apart from the effects of smoking on the health of adults," he says, "the fact that parental smoking is an important factor in teen-age smoking poses to each parent the question: 'Do I want my children to smoke?'"
He suspects that some parents, who wouldn't give up cigarettes for their own health's sake, may do so for their children's sake.
Vice-Chancellors In New Positions
Four administrators officially became vice chancellors of the University of Kansas Sunday, but stepped into their new tasks yesterday morning.
James R. Surface, former dean of the KU Business School, is now vice chancellor and dean of faculties. He spent Wednesday and Thursday at Indiana University, Bloomington, Ind., conferring with persons who have the same responsibilities that he now has.
George B. Smith, former dean of the University, is now vice chancellor for institutional planning with responsibilities for summer sessions, institutional research, planning council, extension and military affairs.
Raymond Nichols, former executive secretary of the University is now vice chancellor for finance with responsibility for budget, the controller's office and personnel. Nichols is vacationing in Europe and will not return until later in the month.
Keith Lawton, former administrative assistant to the chancellor for plant operations, is now vice chancellor for operations with responsibility for physical plant operation, traffic and safety and plans and procedures for new construction.
Wiley Mitchell, former associate dean of the Business School, is now acting dean of the school, replacing Surface.
The Surface position is the first addition to the University's central administration since 1946.
A nap, my friend, is a brief period of sleep which overtakes superanuated persons when they endeavor to entertain unwelcome visitors or to listen to scientific lectures.—George Bernard Shaw
Prof. Leone Has Book Published
Charles A. Leone, professor of zoology, is the editor of a book published this week on "Ionizing Radiations and Immune Processes."
The 518-page volume contains 18 papers presented at an international symposium of 150 immunologists, protein chemists, physiologists, geneticists and other medical and biological scientists. Dr. Leone was chairman of the symposium, which met on the campus last Sept. under Atomic Energy Commission sponsorship.
The book was published by Gordon and Breach, New York science publishers.
