Family building on KU tradition
By Kady McMaster Of the Kansan staff
Loyalty to the University of Kansas branches out in Lisa Karr's family tree: She is one of more than 30 members of her family to attend KU in the past 80 years.
"I'm proud to carry on the family tradition," Karr, St. Louis freshman, said yesterday.
Events planned for parents p. 11.
Lisa, a fourth generation Jayhawk on both sides of her family, will be honored with her family as the 1985 Parents Day family tomorrow at Memorial Stadium before the KU-Eastern Illinois football game.
The Karrs were selected about two weeks ago by the Parents Day committee and the University of Kansas Alumni Association for their family involvement in KU, said Loren Taylor, the alumni chapters and student programs.
"The choice is based on a review of names of families of incoming freshmen listed in the 'Jayhawk Generation,' published anually in Kansas Alumni magazine," Taylor said.
Taylor said the 'Jayhawk Generation' listed freshmen and their families who were at least second generation students at KU. He said the committee selected the Karrs
because they were the family listed in the magazine as best exemplifying family involvement at KU.
The University has been honorin families at Parents Day for five years.
"It is an attempt to do something special for families at KU," Taylor said.
Lisa's father, Michael, said he and his wife, Janet, were thrilled about the recognition.
"We are terribly pleased, honored and excited," he said yesterday.
Seven members of the family will be honored at the ceremony, after eating lunch at Chancellor Gene A. Hewitt's football sit with Budig at the football game.
Lisa, her parents, her sister and her grandparents will attend the ceremony.
He's grandparents on her mother's side of the family are Edwin Phelps, 1936 graduate, a former standout on the KU football team, and his wife, Bonnie, a 1939 graduate, both of St. Louis. Her paternal grandfather, Robert O. Karr, Girard, a graduate of KU law school, also will be at tomorrow's ceremony.
Michael Karr said the relatives planned to meet at the Lawrence home of Donald Phelps, Edwin's brother, after the game.
Lisa said that although her family had a long history at KU, she never
rent pressured to attend the University.
"I wasn't sure I was going here until August," she said. "There was never any pressure. I was just always aware how much my family loved KU.
"I think what makes my family special is that the whole family has had a love affair with Lawrence and KU."
Parents Day activities are planned for other families visiting the University tomorrow.
There will be an all-University reception in the main lobby of the Kansas Union starting at 10 a.m.
Morning reception or open houses are planned by the schools of Architecture and Urban Design, Business, Engineering, Pharmacy and Journalism and Mass Communications and for the departments of chemistry, psychology, African studies and civil engineering.
The office of study abroad, the language laboratory, computing services, college honors program and military sciences also will conduct open houses.
The museums of art, natural history, anthropology and entomology will be open tomorrow, as well as galleries in the Union, the Art and Design Building and Spencer Research Library.
