100 new courses to brighten enrollment
By MARK ZIEMAN Staff Reporter
Preparing your schedule for next semester? Don't forget to include History of Art 666, Chinese and Japanese Calligraphy or that other favorite, Math 596, Fibonacci numbers. Wait a minute, you almost forgot a new blockbuster—History 102, Islamic history from Mohammed to Khohmien.
Any student would be happy to have those courses on his schedule, yet they are only three of approximately 108 new courses per semester at the University of Kansas.
From Anthropology 220, Ethnology of Art, to Urban planning 520/720, History of Urbanization, KU's new courses offer students a slew of practical, experimental and innovative academic opportunities, including many courses that are team-taught by KU professors in different fields or schools.
Always at the forefront of new course ideas, partly because of its size, is the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, which covers half of the proposed spring courses.
WITHIN THE college, the economics department is offering two new courses; the geography and meteorology department is offering one new course; the anthropology department is offering two new courses; and the biology department is offering two new courses, including the new best seller Biology 413, Diversity of Organisms, which unhappily takes the place of three other courses, including
the not-soon-to-be-forgotten Mammalian Anatomy course.
Not all of the new courses are being offered just for a good time, however. Some will actually move you up in the world of academics, such as Math 450, mathematical foundations for computer science.
According to Charles Himmelberg, chairman of the math department, this math course is designed for "students in higher-level computer science courses."
Not only will the course enable the student to bound ahead in his chosen field, but it can also be taken with the sole prerequisite of Math 122—not the two prerequisites that the Tunable timely demands, Himmelberg explained.
Other departments within the college also are offering a large variety of new courses, including the English and an annual storehouse of novel ideas.
Two standouts in the literary courses are English 990, Studies in Nature and Land Values, and English 479, Crime in Literature and Society.
NATURE and Land Values will be team taught by Peter Casagrande, professor of English, and John Gergazc, assistant professor of business. Crime in Literature and Society will be team-taught by William Arnold, sociologist, and his wife, Maigaret Arnold, assistant professor of English.
If those courses cause students to crave more information, the English
department has prepared its handy biannual course description lists which are available in the English department office, 3116 Wescoe Hall.
In fact, all the departments have prepared some kind of list or can at last tell students what courses are coming up. All they have to do is ask.
Other schools within the University are also busily preparing new spring courses.
Officials from the School of Engineering said yesterday that the school was involved with its new Engineering Management Program, a master's degree program offered at the Regents Center in Overland Park and designed primarily for engineers already out in the work force.
The KU College of Health Sciences in Kansas City, Kan., said that its new courses also revolved around a new bachelor of science program in allied health, which the college began offering this semester.
The School of Education will offer three new courses; the School of Journalism will offer one new course; the School of Law will offer one new course (lawyers); and the School of Social Welfare will also offer one new course.
THE SCHOOL of Fine Arts has yet to decide how many new courses the school will offer, or what they will be, but interested students can check with the school tomorrow or Monday, officials said.
The School of Architecture leads all the schools with nine new courses, most of which are described in the front-hall showcase of Marvin Hall.
And, alas, students in the schools of business and pharmacy, or in the department of occupational therapy, can hang their heads in empathy and understand that the two schools are not offering any new courses for the spring semester.

Many arsonists are not pyromaniacans, he may say. They will fire to buildings to collect the fire as as an isolated prank or for revenue.

Based on the few studies scientists have done on pyromania, Goodwin said, most pyromaniacs seem to have had a history of setting fires in buildings. They usually stay around to watch the buildings they set ablaze burn.

Pyromaniacs repeat crimes says KU Med Center prof

However, he said that the normal childhood curiosity that compelled children to light matches and small toys be not oncused with pyromania.
The fire alarm rang at your dormitory last last night, and everyone had to be evacuated, including the unlucky guy who lives next door.

He made his comments in the wake of a wave of major arson fires that has swept the United States and jailed you, he says, on Saturday's fire in Lynn, Mass.,
He huddled with everyone else in the cold parking lot watching the fire fighters put out the fire in a broom closet, listening to the fire fighters saying that it had to have been arson.
Joe knew that it was arson, because he had set the fire, and he enjoyed watching it burn.
Pyromanias are people who feel compelled to set fires and watch them burn, Donald Goodwin, University of Kansas Medical Center psychiatry department chairman, said recently.
