Real world is classroom for education students
Program lets students teach By Kathleen Stolle
By Rutheen Oster
Kansan staff writer
After her first two days of student teaching, Lawrence senior Cristi Boyer was exhausted.
"I must have rubber-cemented 1,000 lions today," she said with a weary smile.
Boyer is one of 175 education majors currently getting a peek at the real world by working in area schools.
boyer, who helps teach 60 first-graders at Deerfield Elementary in Lawrence, said she was most surprised by the fatigue and long days of teaching.
"There's no way KU' could prepare you so that you walk in and go. This is a snap, I've got it," she said.
During the first semester of their fifth year, education students typically student-teach for six weeks at schools in Lawrence and surrounding cities, said Judy Hills, coordinator of field experiences for the School of Education. Graduate classes fill the remaining 10 weeks of the semester.
For the second semester, students intern for 14 to 16 weeks in a different classroom. They assume more responsibility and implement new models of instruction.
These field experiences supplement several hours of hands-on credits the
students already earned during their undergraduate studies, Hills said.
"We want the students to have as many experiences as possible with as many different kids," she said.
Hills said that when in 1982 KU added a fifth year to its education program, it was one of the first universities to do so. After four years, education students who receive bachelor's degrees and plan to teach continue for a fifth year to receive graduate credits.
Boyer lauded the five-year program because she will have completed about half of a master's degree by May, That, in turn, puts KU graduates on a higher rung on the pay scales at most school districts, she said.
As part of a new program. KU sho
dents also may gain field experience by working in teams with teachers. A dozen such KU students are working with teachers in the Turner School District in Kansas City, Kan.
Lawrence senior Kristen Bays taught at New York Elementary in Lawrence last spring. She said her cooperating teacher eased her into various responsibilities, from taking lunch count to teaching spelling and other subjects.
This fall Bays is interning at Broken Arrow Elementary in Lawrence. She said she planned to apply the philosophy of real experience with her own students.
"You can't learn about it in books or whatever, you've just got to do it," she said.

Lawsuit in works against KU police
By David Stewart
Kansan staff writer
A Lawrence attorney said yesterday that he intended to file a lawsuit today against the University and members of the KU police department.
Attorney Donald Strole said he would file the lawsuit in Topeka federal court on behalf of three KU graduates who were stopped and handcuffed outside Robinson Center in April.
Stole's clients are Jonathan Jasmine, Chad Clark and Teddy Newman.
According to the account by Jasmine last April, the KU police stopped Jasmine and his companions in a parking lot behind the center, where the three men had been playing basketball.
The police had responded to a 911 emergency call that said three African-American males in a brown car were pointing a handgun at bystanders in Lot 90. a parking lot
behind the center, said Lt. John Mullers of the KU police.
The officers stopped Clark, Jasmine and Newman, all of whom are African-American, as the three exited the lot in a maroon Honda Accord, Jasmine said.
The police made the men kneel down with their hands behind their backs while an officer pointed a gun at the detained men, Jasmea said.
the police searched the vehicle, but no weapon was found. No arrests were made or charges filed.
KU officials said before investigating the incident that they thought the officers had followed standard procedures.
Saying that the detaining officers had deprived his companions and him of their human rights, Jasmine alleged that the officers had prejudicial attitudes that led to the detained men's treatment.

Strole said that his clients' detainment violated their Fourth Amendment rights.

'Haqua' — bottled water with a twist of Jayhawk
By Traci Carl
He calls it "Haqua."
Mike Cerney has a new product to quench a Jayhawks' thirst.
Cerney, president of Collegiate Water Co., said the idea began when the company looked into producing a private label.
"It'll just be a local product, obviously," he said. "I think it will be a lot of fun."

appropriate."
Cernay had Haqua was available at Checkers Grocery Store, 2300 Louisiana St., and at KU football games. He said he expected other grocers to start stocking Haqua this week.
A 12 oz. bottle costs $45 and a 23 oz.
bottle costs $79 at Checkers.
Jim Lewis, owner of Checkers, said the product was doing well.
"We sell a lot of bottled water anyway," he said. "We thought something with the Jayhawk on it would be
Cerney said that bottling the water was delayed because the company had to bottle water for cities where water was contaminated during the flood.
Cerney said he thought the demand for purified water was increasing
Stacy Anderson, Rolling Meadows, ill. senior, said she didn't normally买 bottled water. But the fact that the company pays Ki for the logo and that the money is for student scholarships impressed Anderson.
"If it does benefit KU, I might buy it," Anderson said.
Carlos Palmitesta, Caracas,
Venezuela, junior, said he thought the
water was a good idea.
"There are a lot of brands out there that are more expensive," he said.
Cerney said he thought Haqua would be something that would do well.
"We hope it becomes a mainstay in KU vocabulary." Cerny said.

Minister gets students' attention
Idol sins provoke travelling ministry
Brother Jed Smock's "Christianity 101" class did not earn him much praise from students for his fundamentalist preachings yesterday on the lawn east of Wescoe Hall.
By Chesley Dohl Kansan staff writer
But he did accomplish one of his goals. He got their attention.
Students who congregated around the minister from Ohio said that it was their curiosity that urged them to stop and listen.
"This is by far the most entertainment I've had in a long time," said Brad Farbia, Wichita senator. "I'd have to rank this right up there with David Letterman — except this guy is a whole lot funier."
For many KU students like Farha.
Smock belted out his interpretation of the Bible to students for about four hours until rain showers drove students away shortly after 4 p.m.
Smock's preachings, which criticized abortion, prenatal sex, drugs and rock and roll, meant a time of fun listening.
"Christ sent me here to save you," Smock shouted. "My message is, 'Repent of your sins and follow Jesus, or you'll burn forever in a fire.'"
William Arnold, associate professor of sociology, said that campuses are a prime target for field preachers because they know they will have a captive audience.
"College students are at a stage in their lives where they're trying to find out what they're all about," he said. "They've rejected a lot of ideas already, and they're trying to establish their own philosophies about life and beliefs."
"it's the same preaching approach
used by Jesus in the Bible."
Cindy Snock, Jet's wife, also spoke to the crowd. She said that the main goal of their two-week tour to universities around the nation was to get student attention and interest.
Ted Frederickson, associate professor of journalism, said that Smock's harsh anti-homosexual and anti-feminist public speeches on college campuses were legal.
"What the law says is that if a public institution lets a facility be used by one group it is to be used by all," he said. "A university is a public forum—the Gideons can hand out Bibles, and fundamentalists can yell at people."
"We can't go out on the street corners and say 'Smile, Love loves you,' and expect anyone to stop," she said. "Instead, we come out like the prophets of old and speak against the four main idol sins — sex, booze, drugs and rock and roll."
