Prof says grads should not teach low-level classes

gram, they aid operators of small businesses with consultation and advice.
These students have helped the small firms with their biggest problem—the distribution of their products, Sorter said. They have also helped in setting up accounting systems for the firms, he added.
Sorter said Chicago students have also demonstrated their activism by seeking out small firms to participate in campus recruiting.
"I don't see this sort of involvement here in Kansas. There is a lack of zeal," he said.
Sorter said KU students seem to approach their education without much inspiration. They expect to be taught routinely in "cookbook fashion." They won't get excited, he said.
Students should go into a classroom ready to think for themselves. "Too many of them sit and wait for that 18-year-old demigod teaching assistant to reveal truths to them. Learning is too complex to come that easy," Sorter said.
Sorter said he was surprised to hear KU students addressing him

as Dr. Sorter. At Chicago no one but physicians are called doctor he said.
He said the title, doctor, is a psychological obstacle to a student's challenging the professor in debate. A favorite sport in Chicago is to catch a professor in a fallacy, he said. "The students pounce like starved animals."
Sorter said at KU he could make a mistake on purpose and the students would just copy it down in their notebooks.
Because of this, Sorter said he thinks the students here need to be shaken up. "You can't have a viable learning process without first shaking up people. You have to wake them up. There has to be some trauma," he said.
Sorter said he does his best to get his students to start thinking. The test he recently gave his beginning accounting class didn't have a single number in it, he said.
He wanted the students to investigate and understand the interrelationships in accounting, he said. "I want my students to think, not follow rules blindly."
Many courses would be more inspiring if the instructors broke from the traditional presentation of the material. Sorter said.
"Some professors here are highly imaginative," he said. But, he added, it's too bad they're not teaching where they're most needed—in the beginning courses.

in 1957 from Dartmouth College where he was a history major and a varsity basketball and baseball player. He received a law degree from the University of Michigan School of Law in 1960, earning the Juris Doctor, a designation awarded honor students there.
At Michigan he was a member of the Order of the Coif, an honor distinction in law comparable to Phi Beta Kappa in the liberal arts. He served as a member of the Board of Editors and assistant editor of the Michigan Law Review.
After graduation, he practiced with the firm of O'Melveny and Myers in Los Angeles and later with Margolin and Kirwan in
Kansas City. He joined the KU faculty in 1964 as an assistant professor and was promoted to associate professor in 1967.
At 35, Blades is one of the youngest deans in KU's history. He is four years older than James K. Logan, who when he became dean of the Law School in 1957, at the age of 31, was the youngest law dean in the United States, as well as the youngest dean in KU history.

If you're new in Lawrence, we'd like to get acquainted with you. If you already know about us, you will be glad to know that we're still here. We haven't changed!
There has to be a good reason why students and faculty alike continue year after year, to patronize us. It could be our warm, friendly atmosphere, fine food, "Old World" decor, or just the fact that we're different. Our four dining rooms, furnished in birch, cherry, walnut, and oak, are perfect for dinner dates, meetings, and even wedding receptions. But, whatever the reason may be, we're glad you've made us the most popular restaurant in Lawrence. We've been that way for 20 years.
