Spring course to take dual approach to crime
By MARK ZIEMAN Staff Reporter
Don Vito Corleone, Jean Vallean,
Perry Smith—if you ever wanted to
know why these men did what they
did, and not just how, it woud be a
crime to miss a new course at UKU.
UKU English and sociology departments.
Titled Crime in Literature and Society, the English 479 course, cross-indexed under Sociology 600, will be team-taught by Margaret Arnold, assistant professor of English, and her husband, William Arnold, associate professor of sociology.
"We discovered that almost every work of literature had issues that related to Bill's study of language," Margaret Arnold said last week.
THAT DISCOVERY, her husband said, called for a course offering both an English and sociological viewpoint.
"To get a more whole picture of crime, it might not be a bad idea to get a sociological perspective as as a literary perspective," he said.
"Margaret will do the literary analysis, then I'll talk about the kind
of crime, the kind of criminal process that is emphasized in the novel as if it really is out there."
According to the Arnoldis, the course will cover four to six topics, including types of crime, political corruption and system processing, and use the works of a varied group of authors—Fyodor Dostoevsky, Leonard Puzo, Kuci Haru, Dashiell Hamnett, Truman Capote and others.
THE ARNOLDS SAID that they first got the idea for the course last year while driving home during the Thanksgiving holiday. They have offered a similar course to church groups, they said, and at times the discussion between the Arnolds grew a bit heated.
"An older lady (at the church) was convinced that we were about to break up, and she was worried," Margaret Arnold said, laughing.
seng married has its advantages in teaching the course, she said, such as the ease in which the couple can get together and prepare.
However, she added, being married may also have its disadvantages.
"I wonder if we are going to become obsessed with this and discuss crime at the dinner table and that sort of thing," she said.
The selection committee for the University Scholars program will soon choose 30 of the applicants for interviews.
About 60 students applied for the new program by the Dec. 1, deadline, Al Johnson, assistant to the vice chancellor of academic affairs, said yesterday.
From that number, 30 will be selected for interviews and 20 will be named University Scholars.
Field of scholars is narrowed
The University Scholars program, designed primarily by Denead Tacha, vice chancellor for academic affairs, teaches students in the arts and encourage them to be outstanding.
The program will use faculty mentors to guide undergraduates in their studies.
Johnson said that the 30 students chosen for interviews would be notified within 10 days and that the interviews would be during finals.
"We are hoping and planning to have the interviews on the 18th of December."
The interviews will be a get-acquainted session between the applicant and the selection committee.
the committee plans to make a decision on the scholars by Dec. 17, Johnson said.
"The basic purpose is a face-to-face contact before the selection takes place." Johnson said.
The program will begin next semester when the students are matched with their mentors and enroll in the "Map of Knowledge" course.
Johnson said that the committee had asked several faculty members to be mentors and that most of them were interested.
The program has been designed
through a fresh curriculum and juniors'
A possible future project for these students is setting up a scholars residence.
"The idea is to have a meeting place to the people in these programs," he said.
The plan is to have a meeting place for the University Scholars and other outstanding students to study and attend seminars.
The 11 members of Alpha Phi Alpha, the first black fraternity at the University of Kansas, will be in national 78th anniversary today.
House toasts 75th
Sixty-four years ago, Alpha members founded the KU chapter. There are now 11 members and 80 students. We enjoy oururity residence at 1014 Mississippi St.
“It’s one of the oldest black organizations existing today,” Keith Rainey, Kansas City, Mo., junior and vice president, said. “I feel proud that Alpha Phi Alpha has played a major role in the
development of black Americans' efforts of equality."
Another member, Dale Brooks, Kansas City, M., senior, said all of the KU members felt a lot of pride, especially on the anniversary, for their accomplishments toward equal rights.
"We celebrate this for everyone," he said. "We started the black Greek community going."
On the record
