12 Wednesday, March 25, 1987 / University Daily Kansan KU to celebrate Victorian era jubilee By JOSEPH REBELLO Staff writer For three days this week, the University of Kansas will celebrate the age of Queen Victoria, the haughty, humorous mournarch who ruled Britain through most of the 19th century. About 40 scholars from the United States, England and Canada will meet at the conference to consider literary and cultural advances made during the Victorian age. The conference will take place tomorrow through Saturday. Lectures are free for all Lawrence residents. "This conference is unique," said Harold Orel, professor of English and conference coordinator. "We're the only university in the entire country that's celebrating Victoria's jubilees." Most people think of the Victorian age as a time of strife and oppression. Orel said. "It was a grim and dark period," he said. "The worst excesses of industrialization took place during this time. Among the scholars scheduled to present papers at the conference are Sandra Gilbert, professor of English at Princeton University, and Susan Gubar, professor of English at Indiana University. "But it was also a period of tremendous intellectual excitement. We're using Victoria as a model to explore the century of splendid achievement." Gilbert and Gubar, both noted feminist literary theorists, have authored several books on women in Victorian literature. They will speak Friday in Alderson Auditorium at the Kansas Union on the male point of view in the battle of the sexes in Victorian Britain. The conference, organized by the English department and the division of continuing education, commemorates the 100th anniversary of the massive jubilee celebrations Victoria's subjects held in her honor in 1887 and 1897. Tomorrow, Richard Atkill, professor emeritus of English at Ohio State University, will speak in Alderson Auditorium on whether there was a cause to celebrate Victoria's tubbies in 1887 and 1897 Also Friday, William Freedman, professor of English at the University of British Columbia, will conduct a slide show at Adams Alumni Center on how Punch, the British magazine, portrayed Victoria. Other lectures and presentations will deal with the influence of such writers as Rudyard Kipling, Thomas Hardy and George Eliot on Victorian society. A concert of Victorian music will be at 8 p.m. Friday in Swartwout Recital Hall in Murphy Hall. The concert will include such late 19th century music as the operas of Gilbert and Sullivan.

As children, we were constantly reminded to "drink our milk". We have all grown up since then but the calcium which milk contains is even more important to our bodies today. Calcium is a mineral which builds strong teeth and bones. It also acts in the coagulation of the movement of all the body's muscles. Adequate calcium intake throughout life can help prevent bone loss osteoporosis. Best sources of calcium are found in dairy products like milk and cheese. Most adults can meet their daily requirement by drinking two glasses of milk a day. delivers Yello Sub delivers 841-3268 Sponsored by the Emily Later Women's Resource Center 218 Hall, Hard Haitl for John Robinson 84-1552 This workshop takes a close look at the interactions between mothers and daughters.
