Seniors live, learn together
By Monte Mace Kansan Staff Reporter
Five KU students are living in a professor's home while he is spending a year abroad as a visiting professor.
The senior men made the arrangement with Aldon Bell, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences after learning that he would be a visiting professor at London and Sussex Universities in Brighton, England, during this school year.
Met Bell at CIB
Two of the men, John Hoppe of Ottawa, and David McClain of St. Joseph, Mo., became acquainted with Bell while serving on the College Intermediary Board. Bell was advisor to the organization.
The other three students living at the Bell home are Jim McCalla of Lawrence, Al Martin of Shawnee Mission, and Tom Swale of Prairie Village.
"We got the idea of living at his home after hearing he would be gone," said McCain. "When we asked, he said yes we could live there."
Bell left early last month and the five moved in.
Share house duties
Share house duties They share cooking and housekeeping responsibilities, and have access to Bell's library, his collection of classical records, as well as the family's automatic washer-dryer and dishwasher. In the backyard is a goldfish pool, a flower bed and garden. The home also has a patio and sunporch.
KU profs to speak
Professors J. Sheldon Carey and Evelyn DeGraw of the KU design department will deliver lectures and give demonstrations for the 2nd annual meeting and conference of the Kansas Artists-Craftsmans Association Oct. 20-21 at Washburn University, Topeka.
Professor Carey's subject will be ceramics and Miss DeGraw will present weaving.
Other phases of the conference will be in metalsmithing, furniture woodworking, sculpting and decor in architecture.
Rock collecting has grown so popular that some states publish special maps showing good hunting areas, says the National Geographic.
The two-story, eight-room house is located at 1645 Crescent Road.
The men admit they're living in style this year.
They pay rent for use of the home.
The men plan to create a living-learning program at the home after they enroll in a 20th Century fiction readings course next semester. Professors will come to the home to instruct the class, and visiting speakers may be invited.
Also, the students plan to invite various professors to dinner at the home for discussion and informal lectures.
To dine with professors
The men appreciate being only about three blocks from campus. Disadvantages are the lawn and garden care, and the inevitable task of shoveling snow from walks later in the year.
A fringe benefit is a bee colony and its honey, which Bell told the boys they were welcome to. But they must collect it themselves.
Home eases study
Studying in such a comfortable home makes schoolwork easier, said one of the men.
"We're not cramped for space and when you're on the back porch the inside noises can't be heard," said John Hoppe. "It really is conducive to study."
The men said they are pleased with the living-learning arrangement.
"But we must admit." said one, "we're doing more living than learning."
