SUA to Start Lectures On 'Absolutely Anything'
The Student Union Activities (SUA) announced the organization of a new weekly lecture series last night.
The series is entitled the Philosophical Bases of Absolutely Everything (PBOAE) and will deal with how the student and educated person can keep abreast of developments in his own area of study as well as trends in other fields.
ACCORDING TO DON Igelesrud, Minneapolis, Minn., senior, and chairman of the series, the idea for the Lectures began with the observation that most lecture series are too specific. He said the material is of a technical nature and it is difficult for many students outside of that field to understand and relate the lectures to their own areas of study.
These lectures are designed to help the student acquire a basic background in a field and a pattern for learning more about that area. For example, the student may be shown methods of obtaining an understanding of fundamental concepts in the field under discussion and be shown the most practical means of adding to this knowledge and keeping up with new trends in that area.
The need for this type of program, said Igelesrud, is attributed to the "knowledge explosion." This "explosion" is the sudden growth of many complex and varied fields of study. This complexity and variety make it difficult for students to understand any field but their own. Many students simply do not have the time to investigate many subjects extensively, he said.
THE AIM OF THE program is help the student obtain, by careful planning, a well-rounded liberal education.
Lectures will be given by faculty members on diverse fields of human activity.
The first lecture will be at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 22 in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union. A topic and speaker have not yet been selected.
