Senior citizens emphasized the need for a city bus specifically designated for their purposes. Victor Turner, a senior cit- zen, said "I think one item ef- fectively left out (of Colburn's recommendations) is transpor- tation for senior citizens." "MANY SENIOR citizens can not drive, climb stairs, or even walk-we want our own bus," said William Burns, a member of the Burns Park Senior Citi- zens' Governing Board. City council further moved to authorize some $1.5 million in tax anticipation notes to for- stall a cash overdraft for the J"% city. City Administrator Sylvester Murray said the notes are need- ed to pay "April, May and! June's bills." The Municipal Finance Com- mission must authorize the is- sue of the notes but Murray was hopeful saying "because of our deficit they will look at us closer but I think they will approve the borrowing." The city has a current debt of $600,000 with a projected defi- cit for this year of $286,050. Artist KANSAS CITY (M) - Artist Thomas Hart Benton, who once said an artist fails only when he stops working, is dead at age 85 after just completing his last mural. Best known for his rugged scenes of rural mid-America, Benton collapsed in his studio, apparently while inspecting his final work-a mural depicting the origins of country music. WITH THE increased popular- ity of abstract and expression- ist! painting, Benton once con- fessed that he was plagued by{ "gnawing suspicions of failuree" but continued working. "Merely to survive in that pursuit is a success," he wrote in the' third revised edition of h i s autobiography. "Pictures '-U' keel (Continued from Page 1) was strictly a Regental appoint- ment. They bypassed the ad- ministration's choice.'' The source contended that; both Rhodes and President Rob- ben Fleming had favored Frye for the deanship, and that this accounts for the administra- tion's three-day silence on the appointment, which the Re- gents voted Friday in a tightly closed session. Neither the president and the vice president were available for comment yesterday. The University has so far made no official statement on the ap- pointment of Cobb. Assistant to the Dean John Meeker observed, "The general impression is that Rhodes was very supportive of Frye, prob- ably on the basis of his running the college so well." ASSISTANT to Vice-president Rhodes Edward Dougherty con- firmed the Regents' final author- ity in the selection and said he expected a statement from the Administration within the week. Thoma may fail to please, movements may fail to survive, but the art- ist has his rewards anyhow. He may lose his public and his1 market and still get full com- pensation for his efforts. "The rewards of art, for the1 artist himself, are concomitants of its practice. They lie in the life-heightening acuteness of his everyday occupational experi- ences. The only way an artist can personally fail is to quit work." MATTHEW Baigell of Rutgers University, a leading authority on Benton's work, said the Mis- souri artist will "be considered the last of the 19th century painters who believed in the American myth." rs mum The Regents, University President Robben Fleming and Rhodes all kept a tight clamp on information yesterday, refus- ing to comment on the Daily's report. Several high officials said the fact Cobb's was a black woman was the double-edged key to her selection. One source claim- ed, "Because the University was having trouble with affirm- ative action, they picked the ideal person - a woman who is black. It's perfect." HOWEVER, Affirmative Ac- tion Assistant Kathy Shortridge denied that any groups had ex- erted pressure on the univer- sity. Associate Dean for Academic Affairs Charles Morris dismiss- ed pressure from affirmative action - concerned people as a factor in the Regents' support for Cobb. He asserted, "The presence of one black woman won't have that much of an im- pact on total figures." Associate Dean of Curriculm Jean Carduner, who had re- ceived no word from the admin- istration, explained his disap- pointment with the Regents' move. "The faculty all wanted Frye." Mathematics Prof. Maxwell Reade reported that several fac- ulty members had called him Sunday for clarification of the unexpected appointment. Affirm- ing his own support for Frye, Reade emphasized, "You could believe him." ~'AEWCtit Aed Woe ,go$t 90A s Benton dies "We're too involved with in- Country M"sic Foundation i ternational prblems now," Bai- Nashville, Tenn., was to be hi gell said.
