Prof retires to pursue writing
Retiring professor
Edgar Wolfe, professor of English, will retire at the end of this semester after 30 years of teaching. Wolfe, who teaches creative and science fiction fiction, has has two books and one manuscript.
City hall proposal rejected
Lawrence's new city hall won't be built between the county courthouse and the Douglas County Judicial and Law Enforcement Center, 11th and Massachusetts streets, the county commission decided last week.
The commissioners' unanimous vote rescinds an offer made by last year's county commission. A project architect was directed to proceed landscaping the vacant lot as a pedestrian mall with sidewalks, trees and grass.
The commissioners said that a strong public reaction against letting the city use the water is going to continue.
City officials have expressed interest in two locations for a city hall—the proposed

county site and one by the Bowersock Dorm near 6th and Massachusetts streets.
Lawrence's present city hall occupies two floors in the First National Bank building at 145 W. 76th St.
Edgar Wolfe has done a little of everything in his 70 years.
He sold household goods door-to-door in Topeka, he was a Kansas City welfare caseworker during the great depression and was an English in Leavenworth Army barracks.
And at the end of this semester, Wolfe, a professor of English at the University of Kansas, is going to retire and devote his time to favorite pastime—writing for fun
He has been at KU for the past 30 years, teaching creative and fiction writing, KU requires retirement at age 70, but Wolfe said he wasn't terribly sorry to be leaving.
"It's pretty hard to do that and teach, too." he said recently.
HE WILL BE able to devote more time to writing, he's been trying to do that.
But despite the time he spent teaching and caring for his late wife, who suffered from a lingering illness, Wolfe has been a productive writer.
Approximately 100 of his poems have appeared on magazine pages, and he has
sold several book-length manuscripts. Two have been published, one of which was a critical success. The other two, although purchased, have yet to be printed.
The successful book, "Widow Man," written with background information Wolf collected as a caseworker in the Rosedale section of Kansas City, Kan., was published by The New York Herald's list of best books and was an Associated Press book of the week.
"It did a lot better with the reviewers than it did with the general public," Wolfe said. "I had the feeling that there are so many people who were uptight about so many people who accept blacks in any way. So I felt that it was important to put them in general. In this book is a case of a black and white marriage. Here's one. Take a look at it; see if it's so bad."
IF THE BOOK had come out later, it probably would have been more easily accepted, Wolfe said. Interracial marriage wasn't a popular subject in the 1980s.
"Train By Ice," the other book by Wolfe in print, is an anthology. Although it wasn't widely read, it also did well with the critics, he said.
Director Watkins to visit classes through Monday
Independent film director Peter Watkins will be on campus as a short-term visiting professor.
"Edward Munch" is a film biography about the Norwegian expressionist artist and will be shown at 7:30 tonight and Thursday night in Woodford Auditorium. His life and work is an attempt to combine sound and image in a psychological dimension.
During that time he will be appearing at classes, seminars and public forums, and will speak at conferences.
Probably best-known for "The War Game," which won an Academy Award in 1966, Watkins has directed seven other films, including "Privilege" and "Culledon." During his stay at KU, he will show "The War Game," "Edward Murch" and a videotape of "The Trap," a studio production made for Swedish television.
life and work of Edward Munch, and to help bring a greater audience to the work of this extraordinary man," Watkins said in a telephone interview yesterday.
Watkins also said he had definite reasons for choosing "The War Game" and "The Trap," both of which will be shown at 7:30 in the Forum in the Kansai Union.
"my purpose in bringing this film to KU again is to present a detailed study of the
"These two films illustrate exactly the complete cycle in the nuclear arms race,"
All film showings are sponsored by SUA.
In addition to the film showings, Watkins will conduct open forums at 2:30 p.m. in the Walnut Room of the Kansas Union.
His visit is sponsored by the departments of English, film, art and history and speech in London.
Watkins' last visit to KU was last spring.
