Professors. commissioner prefer farm life
By TERRY DIEBOLT
Staff Reporter
City and farm life are not necessarily opposites.
Some residents of rural Lawrence are employed in the city but still find time for
Robert Nunley, Route 1, McLouth, was raised on a farm. He came to teach at the University of Kansas in 1982 and moved into a house near the campus.
"Even though we lived in the city, we ended up driving into the country about every day," he said. "So we decided to get a house in the country."
"My wife is an artist and needs the solitude, and I have always had trouble living in the city. I like to be able to look out my window and see no other houses."
The Farm Dunley has owned for nine years
has gone through several stages of
development.
"I took over an old abandoned farm, and the first three years were spent building
"THE NEXT three years were spent trying to provide horses for people in Lawrence to ride, and the last three years I managed to get enough training and bainting with only a couple of horses."
Nunley said farming and his position as professor of geography went together well.
The farm has been supplementing projects of undergraduate and graduate students, including an experiment on a wind power generator, he said.
Nunley was raised on a farm and is used to waking up about 4 m.
"The first two hours of the morning I spend meditating and playing classical
The next two hours are for farm work. During this time he takes care of his horses.
Nunley teaches a basic earth science course and a course on population geography, which teaches how people feed themselves.
NUNLEY GROWS lettuce, tomatoes,
carrots, onions and zucchini.
"My wife is the zucchini cultivator," Nunley said.
He said he thought she had cross-bred some zucchinis accidently to create some giant squash that are coming up in the garden.
Robert Nesl, Route 1, Eudora, has been a tarnier all his life. In addition to working 30 hours a week at the school.
B.G.S. requirements scrutinized
Additional requirements for the University of Kansas Bachelor of General Studies degree program are being considered in an annual review of the program.
Jerry Lewis, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said yesterday the program was being reviewed by the Committee on Undergraduate Studies and advising and by the B.S. task force, which wished to review the Committee on Policy and Education Goals.
The B.G.S. degree was devised at KU in 1973 as an alternative program for students seeking a degree without all the requirements of the Bachelor of Arts degree. Students must take English, speech, math, western civilization or a foreign language.
"The reason why the B.G.S. was created instead of modifying the B.A. degree was that a substantial number of faculty members and administrators objected to reductions in the traditional requirements, he said.
Lewis said any review group would raise questions about these missing
The B.G.S. requires that students complete three courses in each of the four areas of science and sciences departments. However, B.G.S. students also must fulfill the same requirements for their major that students do not wish to take unless they do not wish to declare a major.
"But just because a subject is not required does not mean student don't take it." Lewis
Lewis said he thought that all students should have courses in English and math and that these requirements could be added to the B.G.S. degree.
He said most students did not make a decision about the B.G.S. degree until they had 60 credit hours. Students cannot declare a major until they have accumulated 60 credit hours and by then most have already completed some requirements. Lewis said.
Of the students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, 30 percent of the students
Often, Lewis said, the reason students
Faculty member files bias suit
A University of Kansas woman faculty member has filed a class-action suit against KU and the Kansas Board of Regents, in a lawsuit against women in pay and promotions.
The woman, Flora Silini, associate professor of music performance, filed the suit Aug. 4 in the 18th U.S. District Court in Wichita.

apply for the B.G.S. degree is to get away from the foreign language and math requirements. This especially applies to students who are already away from school to finish their education.
Mental health care system deficient, Teasdale says
BOSTON (UPI)—Gov. Joseph P. Teadale of Missouri said yesterday the governors of America should correct what he called disjointed, fragmented and uncoordinated mental health delivery systems.
Lewis said few B.G.S. students were trying to get away from difficult courses. Instead, he said, they were expending their time on an interdisciplinary education.
"The time has long since passed when we in positions of leadership could justify the failure to provide effective care to the mentally ill."
The greatest need in the area of mental health is better leadership at the state level, Teadead told the Committee on Human Rights of the National Governors' Association.
MORE THAN half of the money spent for mental health goes for care in large cities.
percent of the mentally ill to be treated outside of state institutions.
Teasadle also criticized inertia of bureaucrats, the failure of state mental health agencies to coordinate their work with other agencies and the dumping of patients on communities not equipped to handle them.
That was one of the recommendations of the President's Commission on Mental Health, TeenSAd said, and the governors agreed to force to analyze the work of the commission.
Teasadle, who recently directed the Missouri Mental Health Commission to improve the operation of the Mental Health Foundation, said planning must be improved.

NEIS SAID the county was his first priority and farming second.
"I became a commissioner because I was disatisfied with the way things were being done," she said.
Neis, in office about 18 months, was elected to four-year term.
"I'd like to be elected to one more term," he said. "You get educated the first term, and the second term is when you get down to business."
Nesis said he cannot hand any livestock because his commitment to the coveted prize is high.
"Cattle need more care and time than I can give them," he said.
However, John P. Augelli, Route 2,
Baldwin, does run a small herd of cattle.
Augell, also a KU professor, became a farmer because that was the life he always wanted.
Augelli received a lot of help from his neighbors while starting out.
"I'M AN EASTERNER, big-city type and my idea of the good life was always living on a farm."
"When I first started raising cattle I
didn't know one end of a cow from the
other," he said.
The amount of work on his farm depends on the season, he said.
The farm is secondary to teaching, he said.
"In the winter and late fall, I have to be on to feed the cattle every day." he said. "And you are going to need pasture. I take care of fly control and see to it that they get enough supplemental food."
Augellii is a professor of geography. He teaches physical and human geography. He specializes in Latin America and political geography.
"In physical geography, when I talk about erodes, I use the time that one struck my truck."
He was told that a person could lose his shirt running a farm, but he would rather lose it there on a psychiatrist's couch, Augellii said.
Ugelloil said his farm was not a money-
making operation, but he got a lot of
taxes.
THE FARM ALSO is valuable for soil
studies and for observing crops and
landscape.
