Walker said they plan to have plaques with more information and the number to dial for the audio tour installed at each sculpture by the end of the year. For now, students can get the tour pamphlet at the Spencer Museum of Art and the Kansas Union.
Niquette said the accessibility that An Ear for Art gives students would increase his appreciation for the University'sscampus.
"I feel like it adds importance and tradition," Niquette said after learning about the history of the "Uncle Jimmy" Memorial.
An Ear for Art is made possible by the Shumaker Family Foundation. The audio guide can be accessed by phone or by visiting the Spencer Museum of Art website: http://www.spencerart.ku.edu/

The ongoing border dispute between North and South Korea led to the cancellation of an event that would have commemorated the anniversary of The Korean War, the University announced Wednesday.
Han Duk-soo, Republic of Korea ambassador to the United States, and Kathleen Stephens, U.S. ambassador to the Republic of Korea, were scheduled to attend an event at the Dole Institute of Politics on Nov. 29.
"We regret that these events must be canceled at this time," Dole Institute Director Bill Lacy said in a press release. "We hope to reschedule this important meeting between the two countries' ambassadors at a later date."
The dispute intensified Tuesday
when North Korea reportedly fired on a South Korean island, killing two South Korean soldiers and two civilians.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little spent a week in South Korea earlier this month. She was there to visit with universities involved with exchange programs at the University and received a $100,00 donation from a member of the KU Korean Alumni Association. Korea is third among foreign donors to KU Endowment.
While there, Gray-Little visited the demilitarized zone between the two countries. She said her visit was within only a day of warning shots being fired in the area.
"It's sobering to see it," she said in the Nov. 10 Kansan article, "Chancellor Gray-Little returns from Korea trip."

CAMPUS
Sock drive held to help the homeless
The weather's getting colder, but the Center for Community Outreach is going to help the homeless keep warm. The student-run organization will host the Dream into Action Sock Drive this week.
The CCO will place collection bins throughout campus this week only for students to donate new or slightly used socks. All socks will be donated to the Lawrence Community Shelter that, according to the shelter, can hold up to 136 people in freezing weather. Emily Lamb, a junior from Lawrence and co-director of the CCO, said socks were a simple yet important item in the winter months at the shelter.
"Unfortunately they are something that the shelter doesn't always have enough of" she said.
The center decided to collect
socks this year because they thought it would be an easy way for students to help the community. Lamb said the center did not set a specific goal but would like to collect 100 to 200 pairs of socks.
"Hopefully people will have new socks from their parents," Lamb said. "Yes, we are students, but we are also civically engaged to the community."
Kellen Bolt, a junior from lola and co-director of the CCO, said the sock drive was part of the
Martin Luther King Dream into Action Program, which is a yearlong initiative sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Affairs. He said the program focused on issues that King worked to alleviate. The CCO is working to fight poverty.
"Donating socks is an easy way to give back to the Lawrence community," Bolt said. "They might not seem like much but socks are really important in winter."

ADMINISTRATION
New position to help entrepreneurship
With the appointment of a new senior administration official for next semester, the University is placing an increased importance on academic entrepreneurship.
Julie Goonewardene was named associate vice chancellor for innovation and entrepreneurship earlier this month and will join the University on Jan. 17. The position is newly-created.
Coming from Purdue University and the Purdue Research Foundation, she has held several roles in academic entrepreneurship, including director of business development.
In her new position, Goonewardene will work at the Lawrence and medical center campuses with faculty, staff, students, alumni and the investment community. She will help bring innovations and inventions into the marketplace, facilitate more University involvement in the entrepreneurial process, and seek funding for pilot and start-up companies
based on faculty and student research.
Steve Warren, vice chancellor for research and graduate studies, said Goonewardene's experience and connections with major companies and investors make her a valuable addition to the University.
The University of Kansas Chapter of
"She can help get more people interested in the technologies that come out of Kansas universities and impact the University's engagement in economic development,"Warren said.
