Former law professor remembered for dedication

A former baseball salary arbitrator and University of Kansas professor died at Lawrence Memorial Hospital on Tuesday.
Raymond Goetz, 77, of Lawrence, was a professor emeritus of law at the University.
"Students had respect for him," said William Kelly, professor emeritus of law.
Calvin Karlin, Lawrence attorney, said that Goetz received recognition for his work as a baseball salary arbitrator.
He said Goetz arbitrated in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Karlin took four classes from Goetz when he attended the University.
Todd Thompson, Lawrence attorney, was in Goetz's Contracts class in 1979.
"He truly did use the Socratic method," he said. "It always paid to be prepared in his class."
Goetz used the "rolling boulder" method in his classes, Karlin said.
"He'd go down the rows and call on two or three people a class session and have each one describe a case and explore the pros and cons." Karlin said.
Goetz would stick with the "rolling boulder" unless someone came in late or was popping their gum, he said.
"He was never mean-spirited but tough," Karlin said. "You learned a lot, and he was truly a gentleman and a scholar."
He said he remembered when Goetz taught an evidence class for a professor but wasn't entirely familiar with the subject.
"He threw himself into it and learned it himself," Karlin said.
Thompson said Goetz was an excellent teacher and was Kansas's Kingsfield.
Kingsfield, a the fictional professor, used the Socratic method in the book and movie The Paper Chase about the first year of Harvard Law School.
Goetz's family yet has not released information.
KU teachers honored with appreciation banquet

Sixty-seven University of Kansas teachers will be honored for their teaching prowess at the Teacher Appreciation Banquet at 5:30 tonight at the Ballroom in the Kansas Union.
The banquet is sponsored by the Center for Teaching Excellence.
Fred Rodriguez, director of the center, started the banquet in 1998. He said he wanted to do something to honor teachers near the end of the school year.
Honoring teachers is one of the center's goals, Rodriguez said.
"One of the missions of the center is to encourage and support good teaching, and this is a good way to publicly acknowledge their work." he said.
Judy Eddy, programs assistant of the center, said the banquet was a great way to praise teachers.
"The focus is on classroom teaching," she said. "We wanted to recognize outstanding classroom teachers."
the honored teachers were picked by students. Each department chair chose two seniors to pick teachers who they felt deserved to be honored. After the two seniors picked, they then went through the selections with other students in the department. The nominees' names were then passed on to the Center for Teaching Excellence.
Mary Anne Jordan, associate professor of design, said being nominated for teaching excellence was a great honor because students nominated her.
"The most meaningful thing is that it came from students," she said. "I feel extra honored that it came from students."

Stephen Goddard, professor of art history, won the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Byron A. Alexander mentor award.
Mark Ashbrook, Glenview, Ill., graduate
student in mathematics, was one of five recipients of the Outstanding Graduate Teaching Assistant award.
He said it was great to be recognized for his teaching because it was such a big part of his stay at the University.
Mark Harpring, Batesville, Ind., graduate student in Spanish and Portuguese, was also a recipient of the award.
"It's a great feeling to know I'm making a difference and helping my students," he said
The outstanding graduate teaching assistant award winners each received $500.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway attended. He said graduate students deserved recognition because they educated future generations and helped make a better society.
Provost David Shulenberger said the ceremony was an opportunity to thank graduate students for helping others advance in their respective departments. He also said the faculty benefited from the graduate students.
The ceremony also included a performance by Bel Canto, a group of graduate students in the School of Fine Arts that sings everything from opera to musical theater.
