KU's anniversary gets official logo
By Pam Sollner
Kansan staff writer
The KU campus will be covered with Janet Moore's logo design next year.
The 125th Anniversary Committee chose Moore's logo Jan. 26 from about 15 entries. The logo will be placed on all the publicity printed for the 125th birthday of the University of Kansas, which will be celebrated during the 1990-91 academic year. The theme of the celebration will be "Building on a Great Tradition; 125 Years at the University of Kansas."
Moore, graphic designer for the Spencer Museum of Art, said the logo took a week of visual planning but only one day to complete. Moore said the numbers inspired her.
"To me, it's the image of the numbers that was the main attract-
tion." she said.
Moore said this was her biggest achievement in logo designing. She received her graphic design degree from KU in 1976. Since 1984, she has designed exhibition posters and other publications for the art museum.
Moore won two tickets to every KU athletic and cultural event to be held in the 1990-91 academic year.
Delbert Shankel, chairman of the committee, said Joanne Wrenrof, Lawrence resident, was the runner-up in the contest. Her design included a Jayhawk and the skyline of the campus.
Harold Orel, professor of English, has planned three lectures about KU's history for each semester.
"The idea is to try and celebrate the 125th year in everything we do," Eversole said.
Bill Conboy, professor of communications studies, is planning a symposium about the future.
Robin Eversole, director of university relations and a committee member, said subcommittees were planned for the fall semester and social events for the entire year.
He said the subcommittee was searching for four or five well-known, respected speakers to lecture during the main program in Spring 1991 about the future of higher education.
Retired KU chemistry prof dies in KC after long illness
By Ines Shuk
Kansan staff writer
Jung Kong Lee, former KU associate chairman of chemistry, died Wednesday at St. Luke's Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., after a long illness. He was 65.
He came to the United States after he war. In 1863, he earned doctoral degree from Harvard University.
Lee was born in Hong Kong, where he joined the Chinese Army during World War II. He served as interpreter and troops in China, India and Burma.
A year later, he began working at the University of Kansas, and in 1970 he became associate chairman of the chemistry department. Lee retired in 1980. After leaving KU, Lee managed a family investment enterprise in Hong Kong.
He was member of the Chancellor's Club at KU, of the National Council of the Salk Institute in San Diego, Calif., and of the board of trustees of United College of the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
Lee helped draft a new constitution that will be installed in 1997 when control of Hong Kong reverts to China.
Lee and his family traveled often to Hong Kong but kept a home in Lawrence.
Survivors include his wife, Ingrid; his son Oliver; his mother, Hysan Lee, Hong Kong; five sisters and three brothers.
The family suggests memorials to the J.K. Lee Fellowship Fund through the KU Endowment Association. Services are pending.
Len Bias' mother may speak at KU
By Matt Taylor
Kansan staff writer
Plans are being finalized to bring the mother of the late basketball star Len Bias to campus to speak about drug problems facing students.
Student Senate's Drug Awareness Task Force said last night that it was finalizing plans to bring Lonice Bias to the University of Kansas on March 5 in coordination with Drug Awareness Week.
Len Bias died of a cocaine overdose soon after his selection as a number one pick in the 1986 National Basketball Association draft. Bias was an All-American at the University of Maryland.
John Birkhead, chairman of the task force, said that Lonice Blas had spoken across the country about drugs and that her speech here should be well-accepted.
"Drugs are a big problem that demand big notice," Birkhead said. "Everyone's hearts of drugs and athletics. She ties this in well with students. She is very effective and very inspirational."
Birkhead said Len Bias' death was recent enough that it would hit home with students.
"College students think of themselves as indestructible," he said. "We need to look at someone as unfortunate as Len Bias and realize that we are not indestructible."
Bias' speech tentatively is scheduled for 7 p.m. at the Kansas Ballroom in the Kansas Union.
Birkhead said the task force planned to contact the Athletic Department about arranging a forum between Lonice Bias and student athletes that day.
Lonice Bias requested a $4,000 honoraria to speak here, said Michael Moschini, task force secretary. The task force will ask Senate for the money, he said.
Drug Awareness Week will be March 4-9. Moschini said the purpose of the week was to get information about drugs to students and have them make decisions based on facts.
