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.
"That's wonderful, develop that idea," Johnson fired back.
Andrew Rymill, Spring Hill senior, said that he thought the picture looked like a child's drawing that might be posted on a refrigerator.
The discussion wandered to the topic of how the refrigerator might be the most important appliance in the house.

My Queen
by David Burgett
Sixty-four,
will you still love me,
and much too far away.
One and one-half inches,
squares,
and you remain motionless
on the other shore
of our sea.
An ocean composed of
one and one-half inches.
My hand rests on a figure.
My hand rests on a figure cut away in relief
from a chunk of marble.
You form a message and send me consternation on the wrinkles of your brow.
My hand twitches, but will not move.
Your discomfort becomes an objection to uproot my indecision.
On the other side of the sixty-four you know I have touched the piece, I must move it.
So I wonder, will you still love me.
