Budget ax trims down art show
By PAUL SCHRAG Staff writer
Some high school art teachers are upset that the University of Kansas' annual Gold Show has been scaled down, but KU professors say budget restraints left them with no choice.
Rumors had circulated that the Gold Show would not take place this year. In the past, the show has included both an art scholarship competition for high school seniors
and a judged exhibition for grades 9 to 12.
The show was never canceled, said Peter Thompson, dean of fine arts. But he said no announcement was made until Monday that the show had been cancelled, but didn't know until last week whether it would be financed at all.
Despite the budget cut, $5,000 is available for the scholarship competition for seniors, said Jerry Moore, associate dean of fine arts.
But so far no financing has been provided for the judged exhibition.
The Gold Show will open March 1 in the Art and Design Gallery.
Pat Nennchock, an art teacher at Lawrence High School, said the cutback had eliminated the most important part of the show.
"We depended on it because it gave the students and the programs an opportunity for recognition," Nemchock said.

By a Kansan reporter
The University Council will have an emergency Senate Executive Committee session today, before the Council's regularly scheduled meeting, to discuss pending state legislation that would reduce some KU employee's salaries by 3.8 percent.
University of Kansas faculty and administrators, who make more than $50,000 a year. This includes 126 employees on the Lawrence campus and 113 at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan.
The bill, introduced by State Sen. Bob Frey, R-Liberal, would reduce the salaries of an estimated 239
Mel Dubnick, chairman of the University Senate Committee, said SenEx would examine and discuss the bill and then report its findings to the Council meeting at 3:30 p.m. in 109 Blake.
Another subject to be discussed is a
proposal to organize and effect collective bargaining units within the faculty. The proposal would establish a permanent faculty representative in Topeka to lobby on behalf of the KU faculty.
Other subjects on the agenda include the proposed smoking policy, approval of the 1988-89 calendar, readmission requirements for students not in good academic standing and reports from the various committees.
