Museum used as learning aid
Huge snow-white statues surrounded by brilliant blue walls and bright lights greet visitors who come to the Classical Museum in Linnon Hall.

Sometimes those visitors are KU students who come with a class to observe or sketch the casted reproductions of classic statues, such as the Venus de Milo, or authentic antiquities, such as a stone slab stating in ancient Greek a greeting to the "Gods of the underworld."
Betty Banks, curator of the museum, said the museum was used sometimes as a learning tool.
Classical reproductions teach
"We set it up with sort of a seminar area for our classics classes," she said. "But what has been participation in this kind of art and history classes come and go."
Phillip Blackhurst, associate professor of art, said that he had brought drawing classes to the museum in the spring. He said the variety of interesting drawing projects.
"It's a variety and a change of pace," he said. "The statues are interesting to draw because they're pure white, and when the light hits them, there are very strong shadows."

Banks agreed.
Banks said the practice of drawing the museum's statues was more popular decades earlier when it was in Old Fraser. Since the museum has moved to Lippincott, there has been a revival of that tradition.
"The first year it was open, it was only used by the classics department and not being used on a regular basis by classes in different areas of the University."
It also is used by classes outside of
KU Lawrence High School and Baker University students have used the collection as well.
"We've had a lot of use both from people on campus and off," Banks said.
Bill Carswell, associate professor of architecture, said that this semester he brought a class to the museum for the first time.
He said the trip to the museum was helpful for'the students.
"It's a very worthwhile and interesting collection because of its age, and because it's the only easy way Midwest students have access to statuary in three-dimension," he said.
"It gives them a deep appreciation for the classical basis of architecture. Carswell said, "They've grown up and it's been very broadening."
New war movies get differing reactions
By Vanessa Fuhrmans
Kansan staff writer
George Bush may be saying thumbs-up, but at the movies, war has been getting mixed reviews at best.
Although the United States has been waging war with Iraq for less than two weeks, two movies playing in Lawrence movie theaters already are grabbing audiences a taste of war and Middle East espionage.
"Flight of the Intruder" premiered at Dickinson Theatre, 23rd and Iowa streets, the day after the United States and allied forces bombed Baghdad. The film's plot involves the daring air attacks of three U.S. Air Force pilots during the Vietnam War.
The movie, which stars Danny Glover, Willem Dafoe and Brad Johnson, has been drawing large audiences since opening night, said Rachel Willis. The film, which said the audience had been predominantly male.

and he saw the movie because of his love for
xylation.
"I knew that they were using that same kind of plane (in the gulf)," he said. "I was thinking about it all the time I was watching the movie. But I probably would have seen it anyway."
"They usually are the burly kind of men," she said. "Guys who have been in the Navy, or ROTC guys."
Although war movies usually are hits with men, Willibald said she thought the war in the gullet added to the movie's appeal.
"It got a really bad review," she said. "But I think because of the time it came out, it's done really well. we have it in our big house, and it fills up pretty well each night."
A movie that focuses on tensions in the Middle Ages without its Daughter, which is playing at Hippodrome St. Stevens.
The film, which stars Sally Field, is set in Iran immediately after the Ayatollah Khomeini seized power in 1979.
In the film, Field plans a harrowing escape after her Iranian husband becomes a Muslim fanatic.
the movie was drawing only average-sized audi-
ences despite the war in the gulf.
"It's not what I would term a flop," he said. "But I was a little surprised that it didn't do a little better considering what has been going on."
Sheri Shuler, Plymouth, Minn., senior, said that although she saw "Not Without My Daughter" before war broke in the gulf, the movie's anti-Arab theme was apparent.
Rance Blann, Crown Cinema city manager, said
"It wasn't until after the movie that it stucces that it was pertinent to what is happening now," she said. "Apparently, it was based on a true story, but at the same time it made me think about Iran and the Muslim culture and the way it was shown in a negative light."
Chuck Berg, KU professor of theater and media arts, said that although there were war-related movies on the market now, the crisis in the gulf is still dealing dearly directly with current Middle East problem.
M.C. hammers competition at awards ceremony

the male pop-rock artist and album categories,
LOS ANGELES — Rapper M.C. Hammer dominated the 18th annual American Music Awards yesterday with five trophies while Janet Jack son picked up three awards in a series of interviews by battles to U.S. forces overseas.
"I'd like to dedicate this award to the troops in the Persian Gulf," Hammer said as he picked up his gun. "I hope you will." "Please Hammer don't Hurt 'Em."
Hammer lost only to Phil Collins in
Hammer, who had a leading seven nominations, also won best single for "U Can't Touch This" and favorite male artist in the soul-R&B category and favorite artist and album in the rap category.
It was the second-best showing by an artist in the history of the awards. Michael Jackson remains the all-time leader after winning seven competitive trophies and the Award of Merit in 1984.
Janet Jackson, who entered with five nominations, won favorite female artist in the categories of pop-rock, soul-R&B, and dance-music. She faced strong competition from the likes of Paula Abdul, Mariah Carey, Madonna, Sinead O'Connor and Regina Belle.
Quadruple-nominated Madonna won
a Grammy for "music dance-
single trophy" for "Yoga."
Vanilla ice, a white star rap in a genre dominated by African-American artists, was named top new artist in both rap and pop-rock.
In accepting his award, Ie thanked his supporters but also made a crue suggestion for "the people who held me down and talked bad about me." Backstage he said he was referring to critics who did not believe "that a white guy like me can grow up in the streets."
