KUOK can be heard only in Carruth O'Leary, Gertrude Sellars Pearson, Grace Pearson, Corbin, North College and Douthart halls.
The reason for the lack of interest in politics in the United States is that it is not discussed with the young people soon enough and they develop interests in other things, said John Ise, professor emeritus of economies, in a Daily Kansan interview recently.
Colleges Ignore Politics,Ise Says
discussing politics with children when they are eight.
"A person can discuss politics if he doesn't mind getting into a lot of trouble." he said. "College students are usually way above the average person on the outside on keeping up with politics but after they graduate they forget it in a few years.
"My theory of teaching," he said, "is to get a discussion going. Students don't argue much. They may not agree with what I say but they won't say anything. Students are docile. Their social life and football are more important than politics and world affairs."
Dr. Ise said that professors don't discuss politics either if they want to lead a quiet life. He added that he perhaps talked too much after having made his living by talking.
"I can't get away from it even though I've been retired for two year," Dr. Ise said. "But talking helps us to stay alive mentally."
