Some profs to become paid students next year
If you notice a KU professor taking notes along you and the rest of your class, he may be a KU student at your institution.
Beginning next fall, the Kansas University Endowment Association will finance the KU Intra-University Visiting Professorship with a two-year grant from the Econ. Expo Fund.
Corporations and foundations often put up "seed money" for such programs and support the organization agrees to fund them, Todd Seymour Investment Association president, said yesterday.
Six professors selected for the program each year get a year of paid freedom from their departmental responsibilities, plus one summer month's salary. During that year they take classes and team-teach in other departments or schools in the University, according to Sally Sedelow, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
The professorships a professor to pick up from methodologies and to work in fields where the research is being conducted.
The program was originally available only to professors in the college who had taught for at least 20 years. It has been expanded to include any faculty member at the University.
"This shift is in response to a strong expression of interest from faculty members who have taught暂持 10 to 15 years and who have shifted his shift or career enhancement," Sedelow said.
Though she said she didn't know how many professors had submitted applications by the Nov. 1 deadline, she said many were from professional schools.
She heads the committee that will review the applications and announce the professorships in mid-December. The amount of funding available is more than six professors receive awards, she said.
Seymour said that the program would be financed with unrestricted money, which the Endowment Association's executive committee had after a recommendation from the chancellor.

"It certainly is possible to build up a tolerance, especially people in our field who have worked with them year after year," she said.
IF A DEPARTMENT receives several complaints about a TA because of his accent, Himmelmeyer said a professor would pass the class to see how much of a problem there was.
"You can't make rapid progress on a bad accent," he said. "The pool of people we can hire is so small that we are always forced to hire some non-natives."
Himmelberg said most foreign students were good students, so the department didn't want them.
Victor Wallace, chairman of the computer science department, said his department did not hire TAs who had trouble speaking English.
"To determine that, generally I speak to them and the instructor in charge of the course will talk to them," he said. "We carry on a normal conversation."
BUT, ONE STUDENT said he had a computer science TA who made the class dislike.
"I can't understand a word he says," said the student, who did not want to be identified.
She said the TA was teaching computer science for the first time this semester.

Hung Lee, a math TA, said he had to demonstrate his ability to teach and speak English in front of a committee.
"they gave me some topic just one one before taking the exam," he said. "I had to prepare a lecture. I demonstrated for 20 minutes."
CHARK BRICKER, professor of chemistry,
said many foreign students were hard to
handle in the US.
"We work with them to get them to speak
well and distinctly," he said. "Most of them
know English."
'I've been guilty of saying, 'We don't question your ability, but please slow down
Soppela said that the Applied English Center was not involved in the decision of who became a TA but that all non-native speaking students had to pass tests from the center before they could take regular University courses.

iridig Bergman is a psychiatrist trying to help ameliae (and possible murderers) in the case of her memory in this fine example of Alfred Hitchock's 40's work, with memorable scenes and moments only time Dail's work was brought to the screen with such solitarium Leseau. The film is a masterpiece.
