French professor receives H.O.P.E
Students credit his Socratic approach
By Lynne McAdoo
Kansan staff writer
The sixteen students in Professor Ted Johnson's humanities class sat in a conference room in the Spencer Museum of Art. Johnson made half of them face the wall and the other half view a multi-colored drawing. He then asked the students to describe the drawing to the ones who were turned around.
He walked around the room smiling as the students tried to describe how the picture sounded.
One student described it as a New York traffic jam; another student described it as a noisy playground. He gently prodded the students to try and form a mental image of the picture from the descriptions.
Andrew Rymill, Spring Hill senior, said that he thought the picture looked like a child's drawing that might be posted on a refrigerator.
"That's wonderful, develop that idea." Johnson fired back.
The discussion wandered to the topic of how the refrigerator might be the most important appliance in the house

Poems
For what is a body but the jail of a soul?
For what is a name but to pin on a corpse?
Sudden bursts of energy that trail through the night; Quick, hard explosions in the gunnery sergeant's site
and I ignore the way you fondle your pen when I speak,
though I try to pretend;
it is hard not to wish
I could back from this room,
Forms float before my eyes, they are nothing.
or your tongue licking
at your lips
as my dress rides
my thighs,
Dear Sir,

Juxtacomposed
I try not to notice your eyes pressing between my breasts between imaginary hands,
so I would not feel your eyes burning through my clothes as I leave.
The Mountain trembled into the deep, dark day Infinity will always win at the game
