leader, pacing around the room and gesticulating as he gave his own theories about the story.
"This is it!" he said of the story's last paragraph. "This is where Jewett bangs the gong and says, 'Clang! Reader, wake up!'
Hemenway has a doctorate in English and has been teaching for almost 30 years. He's not alone among KU administrators, either. The profession was the common starting place of almost all of them and many continue to teach today.
"That's the pattern of all academic administrators at KU," said David Shulenburger, vice chancellor for academic affairs, who teaches a course in economics at the Regents Center in Overland Park. "We came up through the ranks as teachers. The reason? We enjoy it. It's a change from our usual administrative duties. And, we might want to get back into our fields later. It's important to keep in
touch with what we started with."
Hemenway said his students would be able to come to him with questions and comments, regardless of his other job. He has a graduate teaching assistant, Amy Lerman, who will help with grading and student consultation.
"They might have to come in at six in the morning, when I come to the office, but they can reach me," Hemenway said of his class. "The students have to come first."
Hemenay said he was considering lecturing once a week in Western Civilization next semester.
For the duration of class, Hemenway was never interrupted by a rustling newspaper or talking students. He had laid down his ground rules earlier.
"First," he said, "no reading the Kansan in class. I'm going to say so many important things, you'll achieve cognitive dissonance if you try to get them all."
His class, in his university, had to chuckle.

The University of Kansas residence halls are filled with thousands of students that, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, will each discard approximately 3.6 pounds of waste every single day.
So far, the University's residence halls haven't implemented a comprehensive plan to recycle some of that waste. And members of residence hall governments have found that working without such a plan can be difficult.
Cris Altman, Kansas City, Kan. senior and vice president of McColum Hall, said that the department of student housing had placed each residence hall government in charge of its own recycling.
"In the past, we have taken it to Wal-Mart," he said. "Unfortunately, last year it got to the point where it
all started to fall apart. Eventually they would just throw everything out."
Altman said the hall government was taking applications for this years' environmental chairman at McCollum.
"We are determined to get a program off the ground this year," he said. "It is up to the residence halls to
government, said his hall was electing an environmental coordinator.
