Seminars are second Saturday option
By DAN HOWELL Staff Reporter
It's Saturday morning and fans are streaming into Lawrence for the football game. The lucky ones have parked and turned to food, drink and pleasant talk.
Others find their cars and their tempers warming as they look futilely for places to park or eat.
But others sit in auditoriums or walk through buildings at the University of Kansas, learning about such subjects as human origins or modern sports. These people are part of the Saturday Seminar Series.
"that's the biggest value of it," she said. "Besides just making us look good, I think people get a lot out of it."
The series, presented by the office of research, graduate studies and public service, began two years ago as an alternative way to enjoy the campus, said Marilyn V. Yarbrough, associate vice chancellor.
THE SERIES' PURPOSE IS to share the expertise and treasures of the University with people "who just

three seminars are scheduled from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. on each of three home football dates: Sept. 8, Sept. 15 and Nov. 10.
Seminar subjects include "Human Ancestors," "Alumni, Recruiting and Student-Athletes" and campus buildings.
buildings.
Tours of campus buildings will be conducted Nov. 10. Tours will include the art and design studios, the anthropology museum and the new Anschutz Sports Pavilion and Shaffer-Holland Weight Training Facility.
BARBARA PETERSEN, ADMINISTRATIVE officer in continuing education, said that about 400 people had attended each previous series of seminars and that this year's roster had reached 346 last week.
Father, the seminars are free and open to the public, Yarbrough said, but advance registration is recommended. Letters about the seminars have been mailed to football season ticket holders, faculty and staff.
"How to Get Personal with a Computer," had been offered three years. Jerry Niebaum, director of computer services, has taught it each time.
Niebaum said he concentrated on basic information to help people begin to understand computers.
"One of my objects is to break down some of the fears people have," he said. "I try to make it entertaining."
Some participants are wondering how to decide on a computer purchase, Niebaum said.

they don't have to buy a home computer," he said.
"WE TRY TO let them know that
Niebum said the groups had ranged from eight to 80 in age and just as widely in computer knowledge.
Yarbrough said variety of ages was becoming an important factor in planning the seminars.
Yarbrough said she expected the series to continue because it had proved to be popular. Ideas for next year are already taking shape.
"I want to do something like a campus walk. In October the trees are so pretty, and we have lots of interesting foliage on campus."
