& SERVICE, WE CAN'T BEAT!
Robert Frauf, professor of physics and astronomy, and T.P. Srinivasan, professor of mathematics, have been Jayhawks for a combined 65 years
By Dan England Kansan staff writer
They will use that experience when Franf, head of University Council, and Srinivasan, head of University Senate Executive Committee, take their new positions June 1.
"I remember thinking how nice it would be back then if we could grow to 15,000 students," Friauf says.
Experience will rule Council
Friauf stares at the wall when asked about the 1950s, as if he is sifting through his 40 years of memory devoted to KU.
Long-time professors chosen to head SenEx University governance
Frauf's first year at KU was 1953, when KU had an enrollment of about 10,000 students, he says. KU's current enrollment is more than 26,000.
"A lot at kU certainly has changed, but a lot hasn’t," he says. "It’s still avery pleasant place, and

"BRILLIING THE SCS OF CHEESE" marked Primus as the underground band set to crawl ashore on the Next Wave. Pounding out a carbonated cyberfusion of funk metal and jazz grunge. "PORK SOOD" is irresistibly strange and wonderful.

"The intellectual level of the students are equal, but the requirements are not," Srinivasan says. "At KU there is more of a multi-faceted development of the student."

Srinivasan he prefers Ku's focus on athletics and academies to India's focus on just getting a degree.
But physics and KU aren't the only things he ponders. He taught Western Civilization for two years. "I think we should all have a chance to sample every aspect of life," he says. "It's worked that way for me here."
It's also worked that way for Srinivasan, who has worked at KU for 25 years. He used to alternate teaching between KU and India, his birthplace.
Friar's office is filled with folders of University documents that surround him at his desk. A blackboard with physics equations scratched out on it hangs on a wall.

"At India the students do what you tell them to do," says Srinivasan, who has taught in India for 10 years. "At KU they do what they want when they want."
"DYNAMITE MONSTER BOOGIE CONCERT"
is a set of aggressively addictive songs
that bring together bottleneck guitar,

grindin' and waitin' not heard

were still in the charts
But it is the students that Srinivasan says he loves the most about KU.
attitudes are different from India's students
"I see their initiative and their creativity," Srin-
vasan says. "It's contagious. It's what keeps me
going."
"There was such a time of student liberalism in the '60s and '70s, and now the '90s seem to be rather ordinary." he says.
This will be Srinivasan's third time on SenEx. He vowed two years ago never to be involved in University Governance again.
Now, KU students may be more similar to their predecessors from the '50s than they think. Fräuf says
proud of the fact that KU is seen as an outpost of liberalism.
Even so, Friauf says he is
the students are still young and enthusiastic."
