Spencer Museum of Art hires interim director for this year
Pawlicki has served on planning committees for arts facilities in the region and is on several boards of directors for regional, state and local arts organizations. He was director of operations for the Kansas Expocentre in Topeka before coming to the University in 1992.
Fred Pawlicki, associate director of the Lied Center, will take over as interim director of the Spencer Museum of Art. Pawlicki will replace Andrea Norris, who has been the museum's director since 1988. Norris is on leave until June 30, when her appointment as director ends.
Pawlicki will retain a half-time appointment at his current position at the Center.
"I look forward to working with the very capable and professional staff members of the Spencer Museum and assisting them in their preparation for new vision and leadership," Pawlicki said.
The search will begin later this year for the museum's permanent director.

Same-sex marriage licenses granted in another pacific city
NATION
PORTLAND, Ore. — A new front in the battle over same-sex marriage opened yesterday in Portland, where county officials issued dozens of licenses to gay couples after deciding that Oregon law allowed the unions.
Soup's on
New York's attorney general, meanwhile, said gay weddings in that state are illegal, even though he personally would like to see the law changed. His opinion didn't deter a second mayor in the state from announcing not only that he would conduct gay marriages, but that he intends to marry his own same-sex partner.
Rachel Balzer, White Water junior, got herself some soup yesterday morning outside Stauffer-Flint Hall. The Center for Community Outreach sold home-made ceramic bowls, which came with soup, for $5 a piece to benefit the Jubilee Café.

This was the first of a series of drives to be conducted on the campus that spring.
Seventy-five years and
Students noticed a fire on the third floor in Snow Hall. The cause was from students who used a hole on the first floor to get rid of waste paper, matches and cigarette stubs. That was the second time it happened in ten days at Snow Hall and janitors believed the cause of the fires were the same.
Ninety years ago
