Wednesday, June 15, 1977 Spooner staff prepares to move Staff Writer Although construction of the Helen Foreman Spencer Art Museum is almost finished, the staff of Spooner Art Museum has been working for over a year to ready the museum and the new building, according to Charles Eldridge, director of Spooner Art Museum. The building, which will provide four unturns of Spooner flail, is 30 per square foot. The floor space is 2,500 square feet. Transferral of the museum's approximately 25,000 objects is expected to take place on Tuesday. For the two-block trip to the new building west of the Kansas Union, Eldredge said, professional movers, museum staff and University of Kansas personnel will pack the objects as if for a long distance move. The museum has no address yet, he said. He hoped the cost would be less than the $10,000 allotted for the move, a part of the project. Staff Writer Because the increased space and improved environmental controls and security measures in the museum to add to its collection and to display the museum storage, a major conservation program, City band's new season starts tonight BY DAVID WALSH Staff Writer South Park on Massachusetts Street usually is a quiet spot during the hot summer evenings in Lawrence where one might see couples strolling, and a few kids playing. The park's quietness usually is broken only by the sound of passing vehicles. Beginning 8 p.m. tonight and continuing for about an hour each Wednesday evening through July 27, the park will come alive during the event. See www.lawrenceconcert.org concert series of the Lawrence City Hand The band, sponsored by the city parks and recreation department and Local 512 of the Musicians Union, will play popular tunes, familiar marches, concert overtures, popular classics and show tunes free for anyone who wants to gather in the park. TONIGHT'S program will include: "The Barber of Seville," by Rossini; selection from "Oklahoma," by Rogers and Hammerstein; "The Entertainer," by Joplin, and the overture "The Merry Wives of Windsor," by Nicolai. The band's director, William L. Kelly, associate dean of admissions and records, said that if any program were rained out on him, the band would be performed the next evening. This year's band has 58 members, nine more than last year's band, Kelly said. Band members are universal, personal, and everyone wants to be part of who wants to have some fun while he plays. p rolling. "We have as much fun as the audience" screamed. "People who play, are doing it strictly." THE TRADITION OF A Lawrence band goes back a long way, Kley said. Last summer, a gentleman in his early or middle 80s told Kelly that a tune the band had played was one he remembered listening to and 18 and his father had taken him to a concert. Kelly said that it was hoped that conducting the concerts on Thursday nights, when the downtown stores remained open and people were allowed to the shopper would stop by to hear the music. The idea caught on and since Kelly assumed the directorship of the band in 1896, both the number of band members and number of concerts has continued to grow. Kelly said that the city had a small band in the early 1900s. That one was replaced by the band after most of the high school players had left the area to find jobs, the musicians union formed a band that played three shows on skating shoppacing areas of the city during the summer. Kenny Boomquist, who preceded Kelly as the director of the Lawrence City Band, started the tradition of conducting the concerts in South Park in 1967, Kelly said. That time, the band conducted three concerts during the summer on Thursday nights. THIS YEAR'S SERIES of seven weekly concerts is one concert more than was offered last summer and the band's size has almost doubled, from 30 to 88 members. But the size of the band has now been limited by a factor that Kelly thinks makes the music sound like "pain." The gazebo won't lift any more members than the band has now, Kelly said, but it is the gazebo that really makes the concerts interesting. Kelly said that the gazebo is original, although some renovations have been made to make it safe for the band members. The gazebo stands amidst flower beds, thick grass and trees, presenting a very visual image. And it is the gazebo that is the focal point of the concerts. The band gather in it to play their music and the audience gathers around it to listen. There are some park benches for the crowd to sit on, Kelly said, "most people bring blankets or lawn chairs." THE AUDIENCE, he said, is a cross-section of the community. KU students, high school students, older persons and middle-aged persons attend the concerts. And there are a lot of children running around, Kelly said. A majority of the objects restored have been paintings, he said, but sculptures, textiles, tapestries and Japanese and scrolls have also received attention. "As long as the music will emit something from each person, that's great," he said. funded by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the KU Endowment Association, has been underway for 18 months, he said. The silk scrolls have been sent to San Francisco to be remounted on new silk mounting and to have breaks repaired, Eldredge said. The increased space will also provide adequate office space for the department of art history, now in Spooner, and classrooms and a slide library. Eldredge said the art library would bring books, faculty, artwork and museum curators all under one roof for the first time. Spoon lacked the space to house that, he formal dedication of the building is scheduled for January 1978 and will coincide with the 50th anniversary of an art museum at the University of Kansas. Sun-weary find relief with movie schedule By LYNN BONNEY KIRKMAN Staff Writer In the years before air-conditioning became commonplace, movie theaters used to lure customers on hot summer days by advertising.
