Students Like LA&S
By ANN GARDNER
Kansan Staff Writer
Since the introduction of Liberal Arts and Sciences 48 courses to the University of Kansas many have drawn their share of controversy from both faculty and students, but they continue to be among the most popular courses on campus.
About 1,800 students were enrolled in 30 LA&S courses that were offered last semester. Jerry Lewis, director of Centennial College and associate dean of the Liberal Arts, attribuited popularity to the nature of the courses themselves.
"They're popular because most of them are taught as small seminar classes," said Lewis. "They cover topics in which the students are interested."
Many students enroll in LA&S courses that cover topics not available in any established department, according to Lewis.
In most LAS& courses, students and faculty work together to set up what they think would be a useful addition to LAS& department, be afraid, Almost all LAS& 48 courses are taught by graduate students or under the supervision of a faculty member.
The faculty member is responsible for supervising the teacher as well as the subject matter of the course. The faculty member's name appears with the course in the timetable and his signature appears on the grade sheet at the end of the semester.
The LA&S department is funded by the student Senate, and only students with teacher certification are admitted.
Health Center Receives $244
A contribution earmarked for the gynecological clinic of the new student health center has been presented to Dr. B. Toughey and Dr. M. Watters in health service. The contribution is for $244.
The contribution was presented to Schweiger Friday by the University of Kansas Panhellenic Association. The gift was surplus money collected from cold drink machines of the association's member sororities.

faculty sponsors or professors who teach receive any compensation for their work
If a student wishes to set up an LA&S course, he must first secure a faculty member who is willing to sponsor the course. After they have obtained approval it must be approved by the LA&S governing board which is composed of two professors from each of the departments of social sciences, natural sciences and mathematics undergraduate student.
If the governing board approves the course, the course must then be approved by the Educational Policies and Procedures committee. In addition to the initial screening process, every course is reviewed each semester before it is offered again.
When a student wants to pursue a subject not offered in LA&S or any other department, he may create his own independent study program with the aid of a professor. The student may enroll in as many as four hours of an independent course of study that has been approved by a professor and Lewis.
This semester LA&S offered courses on such subjects as the problems of the american indian drugs and the import export indian medicines. In these courses, that were first offered in LA&S have grown
Although some students have called LA&S courses worthless, Lewis contends that LA&S courses are not that different offered in other University departments.

"We know the majority of them are good, solid courses. The grading would approach ours."
Graduate students teaching LA&S courses this semester expressed their support for the department. According to Vield Hamer, Lawrence graduate student, an interest in women's studies prompted an interview with a woman of women in the Contemporary World."
Rasberry first became interested in LA&S through his work at Centennial College. He said he believed the courses were good because they approached vital issues that were often not covered in the traditional curriculum.
Robert Rasberry, Oklahoma City graduate student and assistant director of Centennial College, is teaching a course on human relations of Human Relations in University Life."

know where they wouldn't otherwise,
