Football tradition compared to law school's
By PAMELA SPINGLER
Staff writer
History of standout individuals adds prestige to both programs, Valesente says
Football head coach Bob Valesente could not be found in Parrot Athletic Center yesterday afternoon. He received a change of venue.
Valesente spoke about the KU football program to about 15 law students in Green Hall in a weekly noon forum sponsored by the Student Bar Association.
Although he wasn't on his turf, he stuck to his priorities, with academics ranking first, he said.
"There is no rule that says if you want to be a good football player, you should be a bum," he said. "In the long run, when you are 40, you realize what you did in the classroom was more important than what you did on the football field.
"You don't build a good house unless you have a strong foundation. Education is the foundation of our society and, in this atmosphere, it should be held in high esteem."
Valesente compared the football program to the KU law school. He
said that both had the tradition to attract top recruits.
"Traditionally, the law school is ranked as one of the finest in the country, and it started with these people on the walls," he said, pointing to the pictures of graduating classes that line the room.
"KU can attract a lot of good football players because of tradition." Valesente said. The tradition doesn't come from bowl games, but from individual players, he said.
To help build a stronger tradition.
he said, a sense of continuity was important.
Valesateen compared the number of football coaches, 34, to the number of basketball coaches, six, that the University of Kansas has had since the programs began. He said programs had difficulty flourishing if leadership kept changing.
"In any type of business, if you empower the leadership, it will cause more success."
The continuity of the leaders also helps the team build a winning attitude, he said.
"We have a fragile attitude on this football team because we haven't had continued success," he said.
Valesente mentioned the team's opponent this week, the University of Nebraska, and said its football program was one of the best.
"If I lost three tailbacks, I would have to go ask a manager to play." he said. "Nebraska has a true system of red-shirting that they've worked out. They have a truly outstanding football team."
Class displays a bit of culture
"This gives students the chance to display the products from different ethnic groups that have contributed to America." Weiss said. "It is a required class so that all students can appreciate the multicultural perspective."
The School of Education created a melting pot in the Kansas Union yesterday.

Pat Weiss, assistant director of economy education and curriculum and instruction, and her multicultural education class displayed cultural elements from countries such as Poland, Ireland, Japan, China and Germany.
The school requires education majors to take the class, which teaches students about the contributions that ethnic groups have made to the United States. Forty-five students are enrolled in Weiss' section of the class this semester.
She said some students in the school came from small rural towns and
ethnic group Students a different as
culture and to write a research paper.
Peggy Bolin, Fairway sophomore, said, "She's a good teacher. She makes the class interesting with this and things like field trips. She keeps our attention better than a textbook or lecture."
Weiss said participation in the exhibit and enrollment in the class would help those students who went into teaching to integrate different ethnic cultures and to know about them. For example, the students in their classrooms.
The class took a field trip to Haskell Indian Junior College recently.
Kathy Fick, Overland Park sophomore, was responsible for contributing information about prominent Irish Americans. In addition to finding Irish celebrities
"With the cooperation of Haskell, we learned more about Indian cultures," Weiss said. "There are so many different cultures within a single tribe."
Lara Bowen, Overland Park junior, was part of the Italian culture exhibit.
"We get first-hand knowledge of how Italians lived," Bowen said. "We can relate to Italian-Americans now."
Bolin said she learned that the noodles used to make spaghetti were not from Italy but probably from China.
The Polish table displayed sheet music, an album, graphs and even a polish sausage.
"It's been helpful," said Mary Holt, Great Bend sophomore and member of the Polish culture group. "We've learned about different places."
Rob Podrebarac, Kansas City, Kan., junior, said he didn't know that Polish-Americans had the highest median income of all European groups in the United States.
Lisa La Rocco, Chagrin Falls, Ohio, sophomore, said, "I don't
