It's in the bag . . .
A design III class jumped inside bags Thursday afternoon as a sculpture project. Being inside the white linen sacks gave the students freedom to perform whatever motions they wanted to express. When asked how long they would be in the bags, their instructor, Bill Blackhurst, said, "Oh, we'll probably let them out for dinner."
Sculptors gather for display
Sculptors from across the nation have gathered at the University of Kansas for their sixth conference on the campus.
A collection of artist's works is being displayed in Allen Field House while panel discussions and lectures are being held in Woordruff Auditorium today.
The conference was started at KU 10 years ago to make it possible for sculptors to get together to communicate on what is going on in their profession. KU was chosen for the conference because it is centrally located and because of its outstanding sculpture department.
Persons attending the conference are instructors and students involved in sculpture as well as people from industry who are helping sculptors find a market for their talents and to show them new equipment and techniques.
The displays in the field house include artforms in steel, bronze sculptures, wood plastic, neon lights and even includes a display made of red and blue balloons filled with helium.
COST BY ACRE
ST. THOMAS, Virgin Islands (UPI)—The $25 million paid by the United States for the Virgin Islands in 1917 represented $295 per acre, compared with 2 cents an acre paid for Alaska and $38.80 an acre for the Panama Canal Zone.

A prominent sculptor from New York is scheduled to speak Saturday on environmental sculpture. Isamu Noguchi was described as "one of the real pros of American sculpture." His most exciting designs are in the environmental area and were recently the subject of a feature story in Life magazine, said Elden Tefft, instructor in design at KU and director of the conference.

Events will be scheduled in Woodruff Auditorium and the Kansas Union until the end of the conference Saturday.
Amidst a week of terror and tension, at least a few KU men have been able to turn the situation to their advantage. These are the handful of men who have volunteered to guard the sorority houses and women's halls during the curfew.
"It wouldn't have helped if someone had stormed the house," she said, "but it did calm everyone down a little bit."
The women seemed to feel much safer with men around, Priscilla Myers, Overland Park junior and member of Chi Omega sorority said Thursday.

As a result of meetings Wednesday of the Panhellenic Presidents' Council and a housing committee, it was suggested that at least two men student volunteers be posted at each sorority house and the women's residence halls which do not have regularly assigned patrolmen.
Teftt said it is especially important that sculptors meet with industry because so few companies deal in supplies for them. The lectures from industry tell the sculptors how best to build their ideas to be useful to industry.

There were no men guarding the Kappa Alpha Theta house, a resident said. She said the girls felt guarding the house was too much responsibility to place on a couple of men. Besides, she said, the Theta house is between the Beta Theta Pi and the Sigma Chi houses and the men from those fraternities were watching over the grounds.

MARK OF EXCELLENCE
Two new Chevelles at two new lower prices.
We took America's best selling mid-size car. Then, added two new lower priced models, including a Sport Coupe that's priced less than any other mid-size hardtop you can buy.
Still, they both have Chevelle's smart new grille for 1970. And Chevelle's newly styled Body by Fisher. And Chevelle's Full Coil suspension with custom fitted springs at each wheel. And Chevelle's
wide-stance chassis design, side-guard beams in the doors, cargo-guard luggage compartment, bias belted ply tires.
Lower priced they are, by as much as $148. But lower priced looking and feeling they aren't.
Which will get us no love notes from the competition. But maybe it will from you.
Putting you first, keeps us first.
