University to sponsor three lecturers
Author, journalist and Reagan administration official to talk on variety of topics
By JENNIFER FORKER
Staff writer
Lectures presented by an author, a journalist and an official in the President Reagan's administration will take place at the University of Kansas in the next two weeks.
Nicholas Daniiloff, U.S. News & World Report diplomatic editor, will speak at 8 p.m. Monday in Hoch Auditorium about his 1986 detention in the Soviet Union. Daniiloff was serving as the news magazine's Moscow correspondent when he was arrested Aug. 30 and held for 30 days. Soviet officials accused Daniiloff of being a sow.
Tom Wolfe, author of "The Kandy-
Kolored Tangerine Flake Streamline Baby," "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" and "The Right Stuff," will speak at 8 p.m. Wednesday in Hoch Auditorium about his writing and what inspires him to write. He also will answer questions from the audience.
Michael Johnson, chairman of the department of English, met Wolfe in April 1972 when Wolfe was at KU to talk about new journalism, which Wolfe practices. Johnson said Wolfe was a flexible writer who changed his writing style to match the events he covered.
"He tries to get the style close to what he's dealing with," Johnson
saw.
Johnson said although Wolfe wrote subjectively, he didn't judge the events he covered.
said.
"He usually suspends moral judgment." Johnson said.
bain lectures are sponsored by the Student Senate lecture series. They are the series' final lectures this semester.
Elliott Abrams, U.S. assistant secretary of state for inter-American affairs since July 1985, will speak at 1 p.m. April 21 in the Kansas Union Ballroom. An advocate of U.S. aid on the contrasts, Abrams will speak on, "Central America: What Are the Alternatives?"
The Latin American studies department is sponsoring his lecture.
Abrams graduated from Harvard University in 1969 and Harvard Law School in 1973. He also received a master's degree in economics with a specialty in international relations from the London School of Economics.
Charles Stansifer, director of Latin American studies, said Abrams' lecture probably would be used as foreign affairs policy and be printed in the U.S. Department of State bulletin.
"He has been talking about it as a major foreign policy address," Stansifer said.

Stephan speaks to law students about the necessity of lawyers
By CAROLINE REDDICK
No profession is more important to the quality of life in the United States than the legal profession, Kansas Attorney General Bok Stephan yesterday told a group of KU law students.
Staff writer
"That's why I think it should be strictly regulated." Stephan said.
Stephan, speaking at a noon forum, sponsored by the Student Bar Association, discussed his February trip to New York with a group from Lawrence.
"Gorbachev is something else. He's a politician's politician. I really like him. He's short and bald," short, balding Stephan said.
He also criticized the law profession.
"The profession, in some respects,
quote, unquote, is a supermarket," he said, referring to advertising by attorneys.
"Lawyers are quick to say they're not ambulance chasers, but their activities sometimes belie that statement."
Figures that indicate an overwhelming abundance of U.S. lawyers by comparing the number of lawyers in the United States and Japan are misleading, Stephan said. The Japanese figures include only lawyers practicing in court, not those in business and other fields, he said.
"Everybody thinks that there are a lot of lawyers. It's difficult to say. If we had one lawyer, some people would say that's one too many."
He discussed a recent Florida case in which a lawyer went to jail for stealing evidence.
"I think that's a sad commentary on our profession," he said. "The truth, guilt or innocence are not as important as they should be. They ought to be at the core of our concern instead of on a back burner."
