Colloquium to address careers of congressmen
By DAN PARELMAN Staff Reporter

A talk on the career development of U.S. congressmen will launch the university of Kansas' division of education 1982 Adult Development Colloquium.
The crises and stages of adulthood affect congressmen as much as they affect anyone else, although congressmen are usually analyzed on the basis of public lives, Burdett Loomis, assistant governor of political science, said yesterday.
"What happens when they turn 40 and realize they're not going to make it to the Senate or become president?" Loomis said.
Loomis will talk at the colloquium from noon to 1 p.m. *u Tuesday at Aloeve* Dr. Loomis will speak
The colloquium is a meeting of those interested in and studying adulthood, said Vivian Rogers, assistant to the dean of continuing education.
ONE REASON WHY the colloquium was started last year was to allow professors, graduate students and administrators from different fields to share their knowledge of adult life cycles, said Rogers.
She said Loomis' research showed the wide applications of the study of humus.
Loomis sent questionaires in 1976 and 1980 to the 70 members of the House of Representatives' Democratic freshman class of 1974, called post-operative films to do a follow-up to his study in 1984 with another questionaire.
His questions in 1975 asked the freshmen representatives how they learned their jobs and how they adjusted, Loomis said. The 1980 questions dealt with how the congressmen obtained power.
Loomis said he planned in 1894 to ask them more personal questions, such as how being in Congress had changed the job of the job had affected their family lives.
People who enter politics in their late twenties and early thirties, such as many members of the class of "74 did, are still forming their life goals and will
probably become professional politicians. Loomis said.
OTHERS WHO enter politics at an older age after having had successful careers in other areas may act differently when they are first elected than younger men, according to Loomis. Such politicians often Sen. John Glenn, the former basketball player with the New York Knicks; Sen. John Glenn, D-Ohio, a former astronaut; and President Ronald Reagan, a former actor and businessman.
"teagan is a wonderful example to me because here, at the age of 55, he enters politics. I think those people act much greater confidence." Loomis said.
He said people who were elected to public office after being successful in other fields might not be overly sensitive to their constituents.
"You may not have to prove anything " he said.
Also, these politicians may tend to be more dogmatic than younger politi-
Middle-aged congressmen may also be re-evaluating their lives, Loomis said. Changes in their private lives, such as their children becoming adults, may influence the death of their parents; may influence the policy decisions of congressmen.
THE AGING of their parents and the maturity of their children may be reflected in a congressman's votes on social security and drugs.
Loomis said the findings of researchers of life cycles, such as Daniel Levinson at Yale University and Andrew College, bad influenced his work.
Rogers said that such research and programs such as the colloquium had helped the University's continuing education program.
The schedule for this year's colloquium will be Tuesday, Loomis; Oct. 20, various professors speaking on the subject of "Round Table: Cross-Disciplinary Approaches to Adult Development"; Nov. 16, David Holmes; Nov. 17, Rachel Nielsen; Elliott and Rochelle Harris, graduate students in psychology, on "Women's Adult Development"; Jan. 18, Rogers on "Development of the Adult."

"A plaque in Alderson Auditorium inscribed with halls' names will have greater lasting value than money," McEllen said.

Alderson served the University of Kansas from 1948 until his death in 1981. During that time, he initiated brown-bag lunch with student leaders and encouraged academic excellence, once with an unusual program.
After the program starts, the winning living units will be the ones that show the greatest increase in grade point average each year and not necessarily the ones with the highest overall GPAs.

A new scholarship fund should encourage students living on campus to boost their grade point averages, and residential programs said yesterday.
Applications are available in the Student Senate office, 105-B Kansas Union. If you would like more information or have any questions contact the Senate Office at 864-3710.

Because fewer people will watch each game, however, advertisers will pay less for television time, decreasing earnings for each game, he said.

The director, Fred McElhenie, said details of the scholarship program were tentative until approved by the Residential Programs Advisory Board.
In 1961, Alderson offered to serve dinner to every student in any hall that maintained an overall grade point average of 2.0. Pearson Scholarship Hall earned his services as waiter for one night.
The scholarship program is dedicated to the memory of Donald Alderson, former dean of student services.
"When he died, lots of people made contributions to be used for this purpose," said Marian McCorkill.
The first-place winner will also get the traveling trophy.
The professor, Ira Horowitz, who teaches management at the University of Florida, said the ruling meant more college football would be televised.
The grade point averages of residents in each category will be tabulated, and in fall 1983, the living unit with the highest group GPA in each category will receive the second-place award will be $50, and third place will be $25.
"Don was a good friend and colleague," said J. W. Wilson, director of housing. "He was interested in and willing to talk with them."
THE RPAB COMMITTEE recommended that the money be restricted to academic and cultural expen- tment other than social activities, McElhene said.

As an expert on sports broadcasting, Horowitz testified against the NCAA for the University of Oklahoma and the University of Georgia Athletic Association in their Oklahoma City court fight to rid themselves of the NCAA's control.
Calling the NCAA a "classic cartel," U.S. District Judge Juan Burciada said in a decision released Wednesday that the NCAA violated the Sherman Antitrust Act by monopolizing television networks he determined which teams will appear on television and how many times they will appear, he said.
