Campaigning for grades OK in this political science class
By Susan White Kansan staff writer
Some KU political science students will be getting firsthand experience in the political world while earning class credit.
Scott Wagner, professor of political science, has given the students in his Political Science 110 class the option to work on political campaigns since he began teaching at the University in 1992.
Wagner said that at the beginning of this semester he had given his students a survey that had included a question about what students thought of politics. Most of the
responses he received — such as "dirty politics" — were negative.
"Ihave students work on campaigns so they get to see the positive side of politics," Wagner said.
Four of his students will start working on campaigns within the next few weeks.
During the project, the students will write journal entries of what they do each day.
"They keep a log of their activities," he said. "They write what they did and what the strategies and the politics were for the campaign."
paper analyzing the experience.
Allison Davidow, Leawood senior, said that she had taken the class during Spring 1993 and that she had worked on Jo Andersen's campaign for City Commission. She learned much from her experience and recommended the class to other students, she said.
"Iattended weekly campaign meetings every Sunday night," she said. "They talked about strategies and future plans for the campaign. I also researched Lawrence crime statistics and environmental issues. It was a good excuse to get hands-on experience with political campaigns and candidates."
Student seeks indicators of autism
By Roberta Johnson Kansan staff writer
The lack of certain blood cells may be a sign of autism, said Fred Metzinger, Lawrence graduate student of psychology.
Metzinger is searching for a correlation between autism and a lowered number of CD-4T helper cells.
Autism is a mental disorder characterized by extreme withdrawal and an inability to communicate or relate with people.
Veronica Zysk, administrative director of the Autism Society of America, said she had not heard of
any evidence tying the lower number of the cells to autism. She said, however, that there was a correlation between autism and childhood illnesses such as rubella.
Metzinger said that a correlation between the number of cells and autism would not necessarily mean that children were more susceptible to illnesses.
"It may just be a diagnostic indicator." he said.
The CD-4T cell is responsible for a number of activities within the immune system, said Lawrence Draper, professor of microbiology. The cell creates antibodies, kills virus-infected cells and triggers other cells
within the immune system.
To prove that the lower number of CD-4T cells typically occurs in autistic children, Metzinger said, he took samples from normal, healthy children and from children with Tourette's syndrome.
Metzinger said that some medications could affect the immune system and that cells from children with Tourette's syndrome were sampled as a psychiatric control.
Children who are not on medication and who are between the ages of 7 and 20 may participate in the on-campus experiment, he said. Participants and parents receive $20 for one hour.
