in applying the principles we were learning."
Jahanian said Frederick's personality made him a great teacher.
"He really wanted to make sure everyone succeeded. He pulled me aside after my last class period with him and asked me about my goals," Jahanian said. "He wanted to make sure I had the right connections so I could move forward. That really set him apart in how he was ingrained in student's life."
Sarah Thompson, 2008 graduate, said Frederick was willing to extend his help even after she graduated.
"As I was in the process of looking for jobs he was constantly e-mailing me contacts and checking on my progress," Thompson said. "This man was the athletics director for 14 years. He was more than well enough off to leave KU after his time was up. However, he came back to do what he loved best — educate young adults. I am so very fortunate to have known what I believe was an earth angel."
Bernie Kish taught sports facilities and management class with Frederick and said he felt blessed to have worked with him.
"He was the most caring individual I've ever been associated with," Kish said. "He cared deeply for the little people that did things that are not usually gloried. The people who maintained the buildings, he cared about them as much as he did about famous coaches or chancellors."
Nossaman said he was unaware of Frederick's involvement in many organizations until after his death. An obituary provided by Frederick's family listed organizations he was involved with, including Kansas Special Olympics Advisory Board, Big Brothers, Big Sisters Advisory Board, the Sunflower State Games, Board of Directors and was also Kansas' spokesperson for Bicycle Helmet Safety, Kansas Safe Kids Coalition and Character Counts Sports.
"He did a lot of things that a lot of people didn't know." Nossaman said. "He never tooted his own horn. He didn't talk about the things he did, he would just do them."
A memorial service for Frederick will be held at 1 p.m. Wednesday, at the Lied Center on West Campus.

Iranian reformists fight for recount

TEHRAN, Iran - Thousands of pro-reform protesters marched Tuesday in a second straight day of street demonstrations in the Iranian capital, defying both their leader and the government after the clerical regime said it would recount some disputed ballots from the presidential election.

Thousands of people waving Iranian flags and pictures of the supreme leader massed Tuesday at a rally organized by Iran's clerical regime but the government barred foreign media from covering the rally.
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called on Iranians to unite behind the cleric-led ruling system despite the rival demonstrations and street clashes, state television reported, and he said representatives of all four candidates should be present for any limited recount of disputed ballots.
"In the elections, voters had different tendencies, but they equally believe in the ruling system and support the Islamic Republic," Khamenei said.
Supporters of reformist candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi marched
about the same time as a state-organized rally where thousands of people waving flags and pictures of Iran's supreme leader.
Khamenei said Monday the government would conduct an investigation into the election. This was followed by a rally of hundreds of thousands of people that presented one of the greatest challenges to Iran's government since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
