Pharmacy school considers change
5-year program may be axed
By Katy Monk

Money is the torture and technology is the haze in the KU School of Pharmacy's race to catch up with a rapidly advancing world.
For 12 years, the school has had approval to institute a six-year doctorate of pharmacy program, which is called 'Pharm D'. But actually the program took so long that the program didn't get the ground until last semester.
Now How Mossberg, team of pharmacy, said chances were about 50:30 that in the next 10 years the school would phase out the free-year program entirely and only offer a doctorate of pharmacy program
Students now complete the five-year bachelor's degree and attend one extra year to receive a doctorate.
Mossberg said the change would likely take place only if the doctorate became a requirement for licensing.
Harold Godwin, director of pharmacy at the University of Kansas Medical Center, said that more than half of the 74 pharmacy schools in the country now had Pharm D programs to keep up with the field.
"The thing is that medicine today is very, very specialized. Godswill Smith says, "You are patient you are using one set of drugs, and with an oncology or cancer treatment."
Despite its name, the doctor of pharmacy actually is an undergraduate degree. The degree is a dean of pharmacy, explained that similarly, a medical doctor does not have a doctorate.
but is still called a doctor
Eight students are enrolled in the program's first year, eight more will be enrolled in the next year, that if it can afford to, the school will increase the program to accommodate more students.
The numbers are low because the intensive clinical work students must take more courses in their faculty ratio. Mt schools have a ratio of about four to students one in every three.
Students spend a full semester doing intensive clinical clerkships at the Med Center. Each student goes through rotations in drug information, pediatrics, internal medicine and family practice, plus two electives. Must be psychiatric or infectious disease director or instructors teach one or two specialties.
Three new faculty members were hired, in part to help teach the program.
Mossberg said the school planned to add the equivalent of two more faculty members for the doctorate program in the next two years. To do that, she took a whole school to the program, about another six positions would be added.
Godwin explained the value of the sixth-year program in a field that requires almost as much education as becoming a philosopher does.
"I gives one a broad variety, but it then gives you a specialized look, and then it gives you a more height, that want to be on the cutting edge, are probably very willing to work."
"And in the long term, they may be compensated for that specialized knowledge."
'Word' premieres
Video is tribute to William Burroughs
Kansan staff writer
By David Stewart
A new video tribute to best poet William S. Burroughs will thrust Lawrence once again into the national spotlight.
The video, "Rub Out the Word," premiered in four shows. Friiday night at Dyche Auditorium. About 60 people attended each show.
Roger Holder, the producer of "Rub Out the Word," said that the show "Nightflight" on the UC cable network was interested in airing the play.
"I talked to the producers, and what they want to do is show it right before the elections." Holden said.
That's because *Rub Out the Word* has a heavy political theme. The movie stars *Tobey Maguire* and Part 2' referring to the movie about nuclear war, which was filmed in Paris. (The film is based on the book.)
"Rub Out the Word," a three-minute, 28-second video tells students who take over Lawrence. The board's activities include the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II and the house of the Word, an atomic monitor.
Eventually, the citizens of Lawrence defeat the board, which represents an overly powerful government.
Originally, the plan for the video was more grandiose. Holden said.
"It was supposed to be the board of directors take over the world," he said. But because of a hiatus, he couldn't close up for the live action crowd shots.
"So, it became the board of directors take over the town." Holden said.
But the town was to be the focus of the video, anyway, he said. All the live scenes were shot in Lawrence and that production was produced in studios here.
Lawrence also is where Burroughs lives.
"This video is a tribute to Lawrence resident William S. Burroughs," Holden said. "I think we all thank him for being our neighbor."
Burroughs, an author who emerged from the beat movement of the 1950s, narrates "Rub Out the Word."
David Yonah, Overland Park senior who played a mad scientist, said that although he had worked on 'New Girls Don't Explode', a full-length movie shot in his studio, he would act for a national audience.
Although Burroughs is famous, the airing of "Rub Out the Word" on the USA network will be the first time the show has been seen by the rest of the nation
Holden said the film's narrative was taken from the album "Nothing but Love," which was made in the early 90s. The album includes selections from other albums.
The video also marks the first time Holden has been able to use, in a production of his own, a computer animation system that he invented. However, Holden's system can be operated by a touchpad, "heading Gainow," be said.

KANU radio variety show hits airwaves for 6th year
But the crowd of about 200 who crammed into plastic chairs in the Lawrence Arts Center, North and Vermont streets, corrected the actor with a beauty cry of "Love you." The cast was also its "it's the Imagination Workshop."
Lawrence residents who tuned their radio daily to FM 81 at 5 p.m. Saturday told a caller impersonating President Reagan blow his radio deboit with the line 'Live in New York, it is a Saturday Night.'
The workshop, directed by KANU's program director Darrell Becker, featured the theater broadcasts that were modeled after the old time radio show "The Walt Disney Show."
"Great," the actor responded in Reaganese. "My big chance, down the toilet."
troupe has been performing the shows live since May 1985.
"This is what many of us feel is the way radio should be." Briondon said before the broadcast. "We have a lot of fun having a part for it, but not everything there is a kind of underground of radio enthusiasts in Lawrence"
Troupe members used only their voices, a piano, a synthesizer and a table full of sound effects paraperlumba to perform three plays.
Opening with "The Painter," the 11 workshop players created a new piece of art played by Lawrence resident Gene Carr, wanted to capture some raw emotion.
But the people waiting for the buspeed in traditional stances and looked over the artist's shoulder to watch his progress.
"Hey, is that smudge me?" Iave the right to know if I am a smudge or not, "one of the people at the bus stop asked
The comedy ended with all the people agreeing to meet at the bus stop the next day to finish "their" painting.
