Father, daughter share same teaching experience
In 1964, University of Kansas professor Anita Herzfeld taught one semester of Spanish. Saturday she met with one of the students from that class and his daughter, who is now one of Herzfeld's students.

Herzfeld, associate professor of Latin American studies, was approached this semester by Amy Schuetz, Great Bend senior, in her Language and Society in Latin America class.
"He's sort of an unforgettable character," she said.
"All of a sudden, Amy shows up in my class and says,
'My dad knows you.' Herfeld said.
She said although she hadn't seen Schuetz's father, Perry Schuetz, since he was a student at the KU Medical Center, she remembered his name instantly.
"He's sort of an unforgettable character," she said. She said that while teaching Spanish she had a couple of outstanding students — one of them was Perry Schuetz.
"There are some kids you always remember," she said. Perry Schuetz, who majored in Spanish and chemistry, also remembered Herzfeld after he graduated. He said when University faculty visited Great Bend he would ask them about her.
"It was like we walked out of a room and walked back in." Perry Schuetz said.
"She was just a fantastic teacher," he said
She was just hard at work. Both Perry Schuetz and Herzfeld said it seemed like no time had passed when they met again Saturday at Herzfeld's house.
herzied said she had never met with father and daughter students at the same time.

Amy Schuetz, a fifth-generation KU student, said she took the class because she needed a non-Western culture class and wanted to learn more about her father's interests as a way to become closer to him.

Doctors discuss cancer treatments
By Sue Franke
Kansan staff writer
The pendulum is swinging from radical surgery to intervention for women with cancer.
John Weed, director of gynecologic oncology for the University of Kansas Medical Center, and other physicians gave presentations Saturday at the "Women's Cancer Issues Symposium" in Kansas City, Mo. Topics included cancer screening techniques, alternative hormone therapies and genetic testing.
The goal was to identify the most important risk factors for major cancer diseases, said Carol Fabian, medical director of the University of Kansas Cancer Center.
Fabian works with selective estro
gen receptor modulators, which are alternative medications for treating breast cancer. A trial of one drug, Tamoxifen, showed a 49 percent reduction in the number of new breast cancers and a 20 percent reduction in hip and arm fractures, she said.
"Cures used to be rare," Fabian said. "We can now cure two-thirds of women with breast cancer. Because cures are now possible, women are not as frightened to undergo surveillance and treatment."
Until the development of these medicines, Weed said surgery was the only alternative.
"With the advance of technology, patients avoid cataclysmic treatments and suffering for the rest of their lives," he said.
Henry Lynch, professor of medicine at Creighton University in Omaha, Neb., gave a presentation emphasizing the use of family histories as cancer-screening tools.
"Women should take a well-orchestrated family history of parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles and analyze it critically," he said. "It could help doctors know where to go in terms of management and surveillance."
Lynch said that nearly 10 percent of all cancers were hereditary and that men also pass cancer genes on to their children.
More than 125 oncologists, obstetricians, gynecologists and other health care professionals attended the symposium.
