KU plan for education facility eyed amid campus projects
Chancellor Archie Dykes would review a preliminary architectural plan for a 110000 square foot continuing education facility at Kansas University. A rural accident injured five of six passengers as a station wagon hit a bull, killing the animal. Fundraising nears 30 percent of a 50000 goal for the Lawrence Arts Center renovation, co-chairs Charles Haverty and Jan Erland leading. Kansas University Chancellor Clarke Wescoe declined comment after student groups voted to proceed with a controversial film, Operation Abolition, despite earlier postponement advice from the chancellor. The film depicts student demonstrations from the House Un-American Activities Committee hearings last May. Opponents claim it portrays criticism of the committee as Communist-inspired. Years ago, March 7, 1901, the Lawrence World editorialized about wealth and merit in success. The Journal-World invites letters to Public Forum, limited to 350 words, with name, address, and phone required.
