KU sculptor first in KC art show
'Form 15'
This sculpture by Kenneth Ryden, Superior, Wis., graduate student, recently won first prize in the fourth annual "Thirty Miles of Art" Graphic Arts and Sculpture benefit show sponsored by the Kansas City Junior League.
A University of Kansas sculptor placed first and two others exhibited pieces in the fourth annual "Thirty Miles of Art" Graphic Arts and Sculpture benefit show sponsored by the Kansas City Junior League Feb. 11 to 15.
Kenneth Ryden, Superior,
Wis., graduate student and
assistant instructor in sculpture,
received the $300 first prize for
his polished cast steel "Form
15." Barbara Shanklin, Kansas
City, Mo., junior, exhibited her
welded steel "Man and Woman."
James Johnson, Poplar Bluff,
Mo., graduate student and
assistant instructor in sculpture,
exhibited his welded and cast
steel "To Catch a Fly."
The "Thirty Miles of Art" show, held on the Country Club Plaza, included pieces by artists working within a 30-mile radius of Kansas City. The main requirement for exhibiting in the show was that the piece be available for sale.
Ryden, now preparing another piece for a show in Iowa, admitted there was a great deal of work involved in making one of his pieces.

"After the casting, you have to fill in any cracks and imperfections, then grind several times with different abrasive wheels," Ryden said. "You have to polish it six or seven times with different grades of sand paper, and by the time you are done, you have a highly reflective finish, like silver or chrome."
KU film studies program to help deprived children
"Spearhead at Juniper Gardens" is not the name of the newest Clint Eastwood flick. It is not an underground epic produced on a wing and a prayer by KU Fellini s. It is a black and white 30-minute motion picture.
The film stars members of the Bureau of Child Research staff at work in the Juniper Gardens area as well as the children involved in the program.
"We used no professional actors," Hoyt said, "just the actual people in the program. We had no trouble once we explained what the film was for."
The film was first shown publicly at the American Association on Mental Deficiencies meeting in Boston last May.
"Spearhead at Juniper Gardens" is a film produced by the Kansas University Bureau of Child Research. It shows the community anti-poverty programs in Kansas City, especially KU's efforts in behalf of educationally deprived children.
Bob Hoyt, assistant director of the Child Research Bureau and script writer for the film, explained its purpose as "research oriented, not for public relations. It was not intended for the man on the street. Its circulation has been in educational circles and it was meant to be a research demonstration." Hoyt said.
The program is aimed at educating the underprivileged children in Juniper Gardens to bring them to the level of other children their age in less educationally denied areas.
Vance Hall, project coordinator, has estimated more than 10,000 persons have seen the film.
