Art Moves to Sand Bar
Some art students at KU felt restrained.
Although the general belief is that any art today, and therefore the artist, is hardly restrained, some student artists felt cramped by the lack of space on third floor Strong.
Thus several ingenious art students conceived the idea of moving to a sand bar and building along the beach.
FOR THE LAST two weekends the students making the field trip to the sand bar have not been restrained by water, wind, rain or night. Nor has their native art work been restrained.
Utilizing old materials carted from Strong and Bailey annexes, they also took advantage of the sand and water.
One art student, who preferred to keep his identity as anonymous as his art work, said that in some peoples' minds this might be considered as "littering the beach."
But if they built sand castles, they were ten or fifteen feet high with black pipes sticking out at creative angles or tin cans and other debris lining the castle walls.
Or further on, one might see a student at work laying a piece of red cloth and hanging a canope over a well-known piece of equipment, called in slang a "throne" and better known as an "outhouse."
MUCH CAN BE DONE with leftovers in the food department, like the prickly cover of raw pineapples, forming a design in the sand which is flanked by raw hotdogs and empty milk cartons.
Some students did take the clue from nature and planted tree stumps in the sand, or dug irrigation ditches criss-crossing one another.
"In my mind it is unrestraining the innermost creative urges of the artist in an open area unbounded by walls or criticism," he said.

NSF Grant Continues Professor's Beetle Study
Robert R. Sokal, professor of statistical biology has received a $29,700 grant from the National Science Foundation for a three-year study of the red flour beetle, a common pest of stored grain products.
The grant continues NSF support of the project begun in 1961 under a $25,300 grant. Title of the study is "Natural Selection During Population Growth of Tribolium." Tribolium is the scientific name for the beetle.
Dr. Sokal's research is in a relatively new borderline field between genetics and ecology. He is attempting to throw light on the environmental components of evolutionary change.
