Kansas House, Senate recess
By CHRISTOPHER HINES Staff writer
The state Legislature took a two and a half week recess Friday without finishing some of its homework, including several bills concerning money and programs for the University of Kansas.
State lawmakers did, however,
approve a state lottery, liquor by the
drink and a bill prohibiting nuclear
waste disposal in Kansas, before
going into recess. Two weeks ago, the
Senate threw out by four votes the
death penalty, despite strong support
from Gov. Mike Hayden.
"This year is exceptional in that so many bills are in conference and that so many issues are unresolved," said State Rep. Jessie Branson, D-Lawrence. "This is becoming more so every year."

Calligraphy
Lawrence artist uses more than pen and ink
By Kjersti Moen
Doodling on note pads during boring classes developed into a craft, an art and a profitable business for Cathy Seibel, a Lawrence calligrapher.
With a careful hand, she meticulously draws old-fashioned, elegant letters using black ink and peculiar-looking pens.
Her centuries-old craft brings to mind European monks spending years hand printing Bibles with quill pens in poorly lit monastery vaults during the Middle Ages.
Nothing is left of that image in the modern calligrapher except that the artist still does the work by hand and sometimes uses a quill pen. Unlike those monks, Cathy wears sweats, works in an airy studio full of sunlight and doesn't hand-letter Bibles.
She does hand-letter diplomas awards, certificates, book covers advertisements, business logos, per 18 KANSAN MAGAZINE/April 10.1987
And people do pay. Cathy charges anything from a couple of dollars to several hundred, depending on the type of work. For example, she charges about $2 to hand-letter the name on a preprinted certificate. When she creates a custom-made certificate, the price can be more than $400.
"People are attracted to the human quality," she said. "There is a magical quality about something that's done by hand."
Her calendar is full of appointments and deadlines. Apparently, the demand for calligraphy is great.
sonal gifts and anything else that people pay her to create.
Her hand lettering is the heart of Pandion Graphics. She and her husband, David, run the business from an office in their home at 1446 Kentucky St.
David is the manager. He handles calls, customers and the bills, while Cathy works at her desk at 8th Street Artists, a large studio and gallery she shares with two other artists at 619 E. Eighth St.
Cathy's co-workers are painters, and Cathy paints too, from time to time.
On the gallery walls hang many paintings with Cathy's signature. They are mostly pastel water colors of flowers, trees, grass and animals. The free-flowing paintings are very different from the elaborate, strict lettering in her calligraphy.
