CAMPUS/AREA UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Free concerts spice up lunch hour downtown
By Leslie Taylor Special to the Kansan
The sounds of blues and jazz are reverberating through downtown this summer as the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Brown Bag Concert series enters its third decade.
The shows can be seen every Thursday at noon in front of Mercantile Bank on the corner of Ninth and Massachusetts streets.
The Parks and Recreation Department has sponsored the Brown Bag series for more than 20 years, and the concerts have elicited quite a following.
Julia Galas, Lawrence resident, said she never misses a show.
"These shows are a great idea," Galas said. "My friends and I have been coming out to hear these concerts every Thursday for the past 31/2 years — since I moved here. We truly enjoy them."
The series features a different jazz or blues band each week. Duane Peterson, Special Events Supervisor, explained that usually the same bands come back each year.
"We do have a waiting list of about 10 other bands who would like to play," he said.
Bands scheduled to play during the summer are as follows: River City Six, Thursday; Chuck Berg, June 22; Full Circle, June 29; The Jim Stringer Band, July 6; Lonnie Ray Blues Band, July 13; Tommy Johnson Experiment, July 20; Radio Trio, July 27; Billy Hunsinger and the Lonesome Hobos, August 3; and Debbie and the Mystics, August 10.
In the event of rain, the concerts will be moved to Watkins Community Museum, 1047 Massachusetts St.

SCIENTIST: Taylors to call KU new home

"His research experience will help in providing a necessary link between botany and the Natural History Museum," he said. "We instantly became one of the top places to
pursue the study of paleobotany."
Charles Michener, professor emeritus in etymology, the only other National Academy of Sciences scholar the University and state has ever had, said hiring the Taylors was very important for KU.
"It puts us on the map as far as paleobotany is concerned," Michener said. "Many people measure the excellence of a scientific institution on the number of NAS people they have. If you compare ours with neighboring states, there is a striking contrast."
He said Missouri has 19 academy members, and Colorado has 25, 12 of whom are at the University of Colorado.

"For KU, this is a very big thing," she said.
"We are actually on the low side, and to get scholars like the Taylors is quite a coup for
Michener taught at KU from 1948 to 1950 and was elected to the academy in 1965 for his work on the systematics of bees and the evolution of their social behavior.
Philip Humphrey, director of the Natural History Museum, said the Taylors' appointments would benefit the museum.

"He will be the curator of botany for the museum." Humphrey said. "They will have responsibilities for working with graduate and undergraduate students, overseeing the management of exhibits and helping provide museum services to the public."
One of those projects involves creating a virtual database that would provide cataloging information for the museum on the Internet, Edith Taylor said.

She said the museum's reputation made their decision easier.
"It is good to be part of a museum that will archive our material and preserve our research for future generations."
