matter how less challenging but something
different."
Filling a gap in the regular offerings of the University has led many times to the absorption of LA&S courses by established university departments. Lewis pointed with his studies at the American states and women's studies department. KKU is one of which started from LA&S offerings.
"Westart a class and keep it until it can be taken over by a regular academic
department," Lewis said. "If," he added,
"they're useful courses. Not everything we offer is absorbed by the regular departments, of course.
As an example of the program's economy, Dewey said an average of 3,000 class hours
A major strong point of the program, both pawty and Lewis is, its ability to get people moving.

Libraries . . .
SenEx members often are speaking about matters that deviate from the planned discussion and they sometimes make comments with implications they don't have time to fully consider, one SenEx member said in an interview.
SenEx meetings aren't governed by the senEx parliamentary procedure, as are the meetings of University Senate and University Council. A third member said that SenEx had the

because SenEx member served on each major committee and was supposed to take on more responsibilities.
SenEx agreed that press coverage of its meetings shouldn't contain quotations or references.
Costs are kept low, Dewey explained,
because graduate student instructors are
less likely to use them usually less
than they could if ghey taught a class in
an established department.
He asked SenEx members to look at a charge he would suggest to library committee members, which would include ideas drawn from both previous charges. He was told to go ahead with presenting the charge in writing and then to relate its thoughts to SenEx.
The libraries committee has twice been charged with duties and there is confusion as to which charge should be followed, the library representative said.
Instructors of LA&S & classes who are members of KU's regular faculty, in fact, don't get a penny for their work. These classes are often taught Dewey said, by professors with specific interests that aren't taught in their regular courses.
A third member said that SenEx had the

"It will require a lot of effort," he said.
Humanistic psychology, he said, is a controversial area in psychology because it is seldom researched. And because the LA& course is so wide open, Smith said, he and his wife plan to learn a lot from the course.
"Actually, it's an exploration of how true and how deep that metaphis is," McClure
"I'ts not going to be a Mickey Mouse class," said Jeff Smith, Lawrence graduate student, who, along with his wife Sandie, and his sons, Jesse and Alex, wrote about Problems in Humanistic Psychology."
The stated business of SenEx is to set the agenda of the University Senate and to consider what items should be on the agenda, the third member said.
He said that SenEx did very little that he would consider "newsworthy," and that he didn't understand what the sudden interest was in the committee's meetings.
"Thetheatrical—The World As Stage" is taught by J. J.McClure, Lawrence graduate student. He is the metaphor about all the plays being a stage had prompted the class.
"We're also going to critique the course," he said. "We're going to question it. We're not going to sell it. Too many teachers are busy trying to sell their courses to the student. Maybe the student in our class will say he doesn't like it after all."

tertaining?" and "Why do certain things catch our attention?" are two questions the class will ultimately ponder. McCure said.
Two textbooks are required in the class, which has 13 students.
He said the students might travel to movies, plays and a symphony to see how to interpret these events to determine if the metaphor is correct.
"We're going to be applying to these events some of the conventions of theatre."
SenEx members decided to place the question of how much press coverage should be allowed for University Senate members for the next Senate meeting on Sept. 12.
"You know, if you get a few people
you can get quita a bille," he said.
The loop also may take much of the ballpark at 11th and Delaware where many of the area children played softball in the summer, Brubaker said.
After the work ELIA request and was granted a second meeting with Oblinger-Smith and the Lawrence City Commission to consider changes in the loop. The meeting is scheduled for 7:30 p.m., Sept. 9 in the East Lawrence Center.
"If it (the loop) is right," Br爪ker said, "I think it's going to benefit Lawrence. You'll be surprised at how much traffic goes up and down this street (11th St.). It'll take a lot of these trucks off the side streets and away from the schools and crossings."

OMBUDSMAN
The embudsman is the office you go to when you've been everplace else. If you have a problem, question, or complaint that deals with any facet of university life we'll probably be able to help. Embudsmen act as mediators, not judges. We'll investigate and try to arrive at a solution that is fair to everyone involved. The embuddensman tries to take some of the frustration out of coping with the system. Drop by the office. B-108 in the Union or call 864.3607.
