Husser says his primary goal as a teacher was to "help students understand how much they can learn and to realize and appreciate their own potential. The important result of the educational process, Husser says, is that students learn through mastery of concepts in chemistry or any other subject matter.
Earl Husser, professor of chemistry at the University of Kansas, is one of the five finalists for the 1970 Nobel Prize in the Progressive Arts. He served as Senior Class Leader.
Morris Kay, Republican state representative from the 40th District, and Kevin Kay, the head of west of Massachusetts Street, describes his job as the responsibility of making good choices for students Kay participated in informal discussions with a group of KU law students Monday afternoon at Morris Kay's office.
The most exciting thing that can happen, Husser said, is to see "the light coming on in somebody's face, when he realizes his capability."
He said it was most satisfying when students come to see him

The challenge in teaching comes in getting and keeping the students attention. Huyster said, "Can I get the student interested and excited?"

"Nobody ever really teaches anything anything." Huyser said. He explained that teachers can only call attention to the fact that students
Huxer said he didn't use notes for his class presentations because he thought he would become too dependent upon them.
"I can remember what worked and what didn't work." he said, and
The students are the best source of information about the results of teaching methods, Huysser said. He said he values a "sincere student evaluation" of the techniques and methods used in his teaching because it can tell him exactly how effective his teaching approach is. He also emphasizes the importance of interaction between faculties of the different disciplines was cited by Huysser as one of the major faults in KU's educational process.
he uses that as a basis to provide a new and fresh approach to the subject every semester.
"It's very easy to make drastic changes, but you don't know how it will work. You can't imagine the overall will be. It could be negative," he said.
Huyser expressed a concern that changes in the system of education in KU might be made drastically and to meet certain pressing needs.
The slower the movement that aren't so obvious, Huyser said, are the ones hat will be most meaningful and long lasting.
"I see more promise in what we can do a University at KU than as a lot of other schools." Husser said. He attributed this statement to the fact that KU has a lot of "good, solid scholars that are interested in education."
Husser labeled college years as the most exciting years in a person's life. He advised students to "make the most of them."
"You only have one chance. Have fun, but also get the feeling that you are becoming a productive student and citizen." he consoled.
more money for penal systems is not popular with the public. He said one way to correct the situation was to put politics and put it in hands of interested and responsible people. He said the problem would look at proposed programs in Kansas penal institutions.
Huyser joined the KU chemistry faculty in 1959 and was promoted to full professor in 1966. He was a National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow and visiting professor in organic chemistry at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands in 1964-65.
Kay said the highway problem in Douglas County went back to 184-187 when the turnpike was built. The turnpike, considered one of the most successful results in other highways problems being ignored, he said.
Highway 10 has the lowest efficiency rating in Kansas but money in now being appropriated Highway 39 to make them freeways.
Kansas Religion School Thrives, Offers Broad Course Curriculum
The Kansas School of Religion (KSA) is an interdisciplinary and ininterdisciplinary school where students learn about the humanist fields, along with philosophy, history, literature and fine arts, at the Lawrence campus in 1929, is

Although financially and administratively independent of the University of Kansas, the K.S.R. School of Nursing is academically, functioning somewhat as a department of religion at the University of Liberal and Sciences.
The school has primary responsibility for the masters of arts degree in religion, a recent graduate program. The curriculum encompasses the requirements associated with the theological learning. These are the Bible, philosophy with an emphasis on ethics.
K. S.R. offers a broad curriculum of courses in religious studies for a total of 89 hours. All students must have a bachelor's degree credit by KU and approved by the University. An individual student may take 25 hours in religion toward his BA in history or liberal Arts and Sciences.
Graduate courses at K.S.R. have been designed for students interested in religion. They can take the school's M.A., as a step toward a Ph.D. in religion elsewhere, or a philosopher in a related field such as philosophy.
A big problem, says Kay, is drug traffic in Kansas. This is why a new division of KBI which deals with drug problems is being considered.
The school has divided its graduate courses into three areas of specialization—Bible, History, and Religion and Society. Each student in the graduate program chooses one of these areas and must complete 12 hours in his or her course. There are two courses in each of the other
Although the school is designed for graduate study, a greater number of undergraduates are enrolled in the courses designed to prepare them for religion as a background for work. Lynn Taylor, dean of the

Enrollment in undergraduate courses for the semester is 5 per course, so this time last fall. There are 1,250 students enrolled in religion courses and 1,200 undergraduate courses were Religion 21 and 31, The Life and Death of Jesus.
Kay takes no stand on the liquor-by-the-drink issue. He says he will put it on the ballot. Kay does not think it would be a big revenue producer and does not want to see the street turn into a saloon of a stripes.
"If we are not getting the atmosphere of learning or a good quality of students, we have to get it at the administration," Kay said.
When asked about academic freedom or freedom of speech on the KU campus, Kay said the students should not be shielded from information and that it took a certain level of judgment to weigh the issue.
the Kansas TOPEKA—East College, six state-supported colleges and universities in Kansas failed to meet its enrollment expectations. The Board of Trustees of Bickford, executive officer of the Kansas Board of Regents, said
Lower State Enrollment
Special to the Kansan
Bickford told the regents in their regular October meeting that every institution was below its projected enrollment.
The regents passed a motion to revise all legislative requests on the basis of the new enrollment information.
How much the general revenue appropriations for each school will be decreased depends on the size of the school enrollment, Bickford said. He said small differences between actual enrollment and projected enrollment would be taken into account when the revisions were calculated.
Bickford said that there was a small increase in the entire system, and that "actually our students were less than 100 students."
Figures released Sept. 28 showed a total enrollment for the UMN at 19,384 of a gain of 392 students and a two per cent gain over last fall's enrolment. The figures included the KU Medical Center in Kansas
Enrollment on the Lawrence campus was 17,947 and in 1,446 in Kansas City.
