Gift buys new computers for School of Business
1960 graduate donates money for technology
By Laurie Fletchall
Kansan correspondent
During winter break, the School of Business purchased 13 new computers and remodeled the Wagon Computer Room, 418 Summerfield Hall. Each computer is partitioned off, providing private work stations.
The computers were purchased with money donated by Ken Wagnon of Wichita, a 1960 graduate of the school, for whom the computer room was named. Approximately $40,000 was used for the room's remodeling
and purchase of the computers.
Gorden Fitch, business administration professor and director of technology, said the computers purchased were Del Pentium Pro 200s and will help students keep up with new technology.
The room and the computers were worn out, Wagnon said, so he gave the money for an upgrade.
Keeping up with the latest in technology is a necessity for business students, said Steve Jones, Ottawa senior.
"The computers we have now are 10 times better than what we were working with before," he said.
Elaine Gort, Loveland, Colo., graduate student, agreed.
"It's greatly improved," she said. "Now we don't have to wait in line for a computer."
Patricia Elfner, Louisburg graduate student, said the new room made

students were not the only ones who liked the new room.
Jeff Marrow, business instructor, liked the new look and thanked Wagon for his generosity.
"The partitions have reduced the chatter factor by a massive margin," he said.
The Wagnon computer room is open to any student, but business students have priority, Podlazov said.
Retired art professor honored
By Mark McMaster
Kansan staff writer
Robert Sudlow, a Lawrence artist and retired KU professor of fine arts, was recognized Friday as Kansas of the Year by the Native Sons and Daughters of Kansas.
"I met a lot of fine people. It was a big deal, and I'm very grateful for it," Sudlow said.
Sudlow received the award at the group's Kansas Day banquet in Topeka. Gov. Bill Graves was one of 400 people in attendance.
Sudlow was to receive a plaque during the ceremony, but the award was lost.
"They couldn't even find the darn
thing," he said. "I suppose they'll mail it to me."
Sudlow, 76, has numerous works on display on the KU campus and throughout the state. One of his works is displayed in the governor's office. He was selected as the first governor's artist in 1976 in a program in which the governor's office commissions paintings by Kansas artists.
Sudlow's art also is displayed at the City Art Museum of St. Louis, Kansas State University and the University of Nebraska.
Sudlow graduated with a bachelor's degree in art from the University of Kansas in 1942. He taught at the University from 1947 until his retirement in 1987.
Most of Sudlow's works are landscape paintings, often depicting Kansas scenery.
"My paintings aren't detailed or photo-realist, but more or less impressions of the landscapes," he said.
Sudlow's preference for landscape art differentiated his work from that of other KU art instructors.
"He was painting landscapes through the 60s and 70s, when the rest of the world was painting abstract," said Peter Thompson, dean of fine arts. "He's had a lot of influence on people."
He said that Sudlow's work was part of the reason for landscape art's popularity during the 1970s.
