Several faculty members said that many groups might think that university professors would be dull at best and over their heads at worst.
"There's a fear that the stuff that will come out of the professor's mouth will be on so high a level that no one will understand." "We know it won't know. There may be something to that."

According to a recent survey, 61 per cent of college students today favor sexual freedom, which compares with 43 per cent in 1969. Apparently, more and more students have picked up the beat of the 80s and 90s by the 80s who heralded the sexual revolution.
Jan Sanders, assistant dean of women, said she believed sex had become much more open at the University of Kansas in the past several years.
By MARIAN HORVAT Kansan Staff Reporter
"People have been doing the same things for many years," she said, "but now they're doing them more openly. A choice has been made," and only they have the power to make it.
Sanders, an adviser to the Commission on Human Sexuality program, said a new openness was helping to clear up conflictingceptions that both males and females had.
She said it had become increasingly important that each individual had access to the Internet.
Special Ed to Get $249,728 Grant
"Women are told 'Sex is an animal instinct; it is dirty' on one hand, then 'Told but save it for the one you love best,' "' Sanders said.
A $249,728 grant to the department of special education was announced recently Edward L. Meyen, professor of education and head of the department of special education
Campus Sexual Freedom Lauded
Meyen said he thought it was the largest grant ever allotted for a single project.
The project will focus on improving instruction for handicapped and gifted children in elementary schools. The grant requires the department to work with faculties in regular schools rather than in special education facilities.
The Educational Personnel Development Act awarded the grant after national competition. Meyen and Jerry D. Chaffin, a professor of education, are jointly directing the project.
"For a good number of years, handicapped children were served in separate programs," Meyen said. "Now we're going back to thinking of providing, as much as possible, education for handicapped kids in the regular classroom."
Four school systems of about five schools each will be involved in the project. Two systems will be in large population centers and two in rural areas. Each system will have a custodian administrator who will be freed from normal duties for one year and paid by grant funds.
Clark E. Bricker, professor of chemistry, said that when he was in charge of finding a speaker, he always tried to find someone who answered the speaker before he asked the speaker.
Howard W. Smith, associate professor of aerospace engineering and a volunteer speaker, said he thought the request for his support would be for groups to begitate to request a speaker.
provide interaction with and assistance to the schools.
This grant is very large for a one-year activity according to Meyen. The typical "good" grant, he said, runs from $80,000 to $100,000. This is the first grant the special education department has received from the Educational Personnel Development Act.
The project will probably employ five graduate students and possibly as many as 10. It will be possible for students to receive training in shops and in-service training will be offered.
Past educational improvement programs usually have centered on teachers. Meyen said the new approach would allow the children to develop their needs of handicapped children in new ways.
Men used to have to prove what stus们 were, which also involved a lot of pressure,
In addition, a support center of consultants at the University will coordinate school system activities. The department provides media resources available to the schools.
“It’s a problem solving, mutual relationship,” Meyen said. “Out of it we hope to get better ideas about how our institution can function in terms of schools.”
"They're learning they also have choices and don't have to perform like a sex machine just because they're males," she said.
Sanders said she thought barriers against some sexual practices were also doing.
He said he wasn't at all convinced that people had become more tolerant.
"For example, people who are gay don't have to be locked in an almost "never" have to.
NO FUNDS are available for this service. The booklet requests that groups that normally pay travel expenses do so for KU speakers. Dary said that when a group couldn't expense his, office tried to find funds on an individual basis.
A less optimistic view on the subject of sexual freedom came from Bill Robinson, who was an anti-Semitic activist.
"I have some concern it will get tighter, though," he said. "Gradually, it may lead to a highly polarized situation where people retreat to their privacy, even secrecy, rather than cope with bars and criticisms from opposing groups."
"I suspect people are talking about the same things they were five years ago," Robinson said. "Possibly they are talking more, but I see no trembling turmoil."
Robinson said that on the college campus, at least, people who openly stated preference for homosexual relationships had a bit more freedom.
"I find a new kind of intolerance, instead. There is a great intolerance that focuses on people perceived as being intolerant. It is what I call the reversed bigot."
The project is unique, Meyen said. It emphasizes the decision-making power of each system, the total school setting and work with regular teachers. It will also
"I think it is a good thing that many more women are willing to state personal rights and assert themselves in sexual relation, and defend their right to orgasm." Robinson said.
Robinson said he thought women's liberation in regard to sex was a very perilous one.
Dan Baton, assistant professor of social psychology, also indicated that the change was due to changes in the
Lee Hubbell, Lawrence graduate student, an active member of Lawrence Gay Liberation, Inc., said he believed people were just now really beginning to discuss such things as sexual liberation and preferences.
"I tend to attribute some of it to the
way in the way of responding to
questionnaire items," he said. "If you think
cool to answer questions a certain way,
you will be good."
"I wonder, though, to what degree people are sincerely. Hobbell said it will or will aplythy me."
'but considering that we've gone from
perscription to real life, we need a big step.
relatively quickly.'
Habbell said homosexuality hadn't even come near acceptance by society today. But it might have been so for a long time.
"I don't know how much good it does just to prepare a list," said Gerald Pearson, who is in charge of special projects in the department of continuing education and is a professor at the university. "I think, is to whom these lists are sent and how much effort and follow up goes into it."
"It is more an awareness for individual freedom that we're concerned about, not
freedom that we're concerned about, not necessarily just sexual freedom," he said. A counselor for the Gay Counseling School requested an anonymity agreed with Hubbell.
A booklet, "Have Topic Will Travel," lists all the faculty members who have volunteered to speak and the topics they are prepared to speak on. University Relations sends the booklet to any group that may be interested.
"The ability to love without fear is much more than a sexual type of thing," she said. Lynn Taylor, dean of the Kansas School of Religion, tended to disagree with many of the reservations concerning sexual freedom on the University campus.

The office of University Relations coordinates the activities of the service, which started operation in 1970. David A. Doyle, Director of University Relations, said recently.

Little Demand For Speakers From Bureau
A Kansan poll of 35 of the 199 volunteers revealed that only two had received speaking requests that were attributed to the service. Only one of the two who received requests actually spoke. The other is scheduled to speak next year.
