What inspired you to teach? When I was a doctorate student I started teaching investments. The students were wonderful. I didn't expect to enjoy teaching so much. I expected to just do research.
way off-topic, everyone was laughing and it was very embarrassing. The speaker had an answer for them, but it was totally inappropriate.
What clubs or organizations were you involved in? During my doctorate, I was a co-founder of Association of Business Doctoral Students. But during my undergrad and master's, I worked in the physics department.
Favorite Type of Music? Delta blues
Any funny moments while you
teaching? Yeah, I had a guest
speaker come in to speak. One of the
students asked a question that was
Anything memorable that stands out from your time in college? Just all the study groups that my friends and I got together. A lot of friendships were made through those study groups.
Favorite Disney movie? "The Lion King" and "The Little Mermaid." Favorite sports team? Well, KU is No. 1 of course, and the Texas Tech Red Raiders. I grew up in Lubbock, Texas.
What's the worst job you've had?
Working at Dunkin Donuts.
Jason Baker/KANSAN
Where have you traveled? Lots of places: Senegal, West Africa, Tunisia, China, India, lots of places in Europe, the Canary Islands, the Caribbean, Singapore, Mexico. I was in the Foreign Service, and that's how I went to Senegal, and I lived in Italy for a few years. The Foreign Service is an ambassador program sponsored by the
U. S. Department of State.
Favorite concert you've been to? I went to The Who concert. That was probably the best concert I've been to. And Otis Redding was great, too.
Favorite TV channel? The Food Network
If you weren't teaching what would you be doing? I would probably still be working for the Foreign Service. What's your favorite restaurant? Lidia's in Kansas City. It's an Italian
restaurant. They have the best Sunday brunch, and it's not expensive at all.
Favorite vacation spot? Taos, N.M.
What's your ideal weekend? Playing golf and watching football.
Favorite color? Green
What made you come to KU all the way from Lubbock, Texas? No idea.
I just wanted to get out of town.

Two figures, part of the Chinese Terraccotta Army exhibition in the British Museum, wear face masks in central London on Monday. The British Museum is reviewing its security procedures after an eco-protector put the face masks on the two figures. Martin Wynne, 49, from Hereford, climbed over a barrier stretching around the 2,000-year-old precious exhibits to draw attention to China's alleged recording record.

Butter, Mo., Sophnomore "I don't think that its their place to really help us. Some TAs are really good about it. Professors are kind of iffy about helping, but overall the level is somewhere in the middle."
"In my experience, teacher assistants and professors have been really willing to give assistance both in and out of the classroom."
HILARY KELMAN Shawnee senior
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE LEVEL OF HELP GIVEN BY PROFESSORS AND TEACHING ASSISTANTS?
HANNAH AUSTENFELD Overland Park junior
"Some teachers do, and some don't. There are some TAs that you never see outside of class, but for the most part they are helpful."
ANGELO PHILLIPS Chicago freshman
"Every teacher is different with assistance because some have better office hours than others. A few TAs even put their cell phone numbers on their syllabus so that you can contact them."

John J. Conard St, former director of University Relations and assistant to three former KU chancellors, died Friday at age 86.
After leaving the University, Conard was speaker of the Kansas House of Representatives in 1967 and ran for lieutenant governor in 1968. He was then the executive director of the Kansas Board of Regents from 1976 until he retired in 1982.
Dykes said Conard lived by the Rotary Club's motto: service to others. "His ethics were absolutely superb" Dykes said. "He had a brilliant mind."
Former Chancellor Archie R. Dykes, who was chancellor from 1973 until 1980, said that Conard, who was his assistant for much of his time there, helped the University maintain "very good relationships across the state."
Chancellor Robert Hemenway said in a press release, "Dr. Conard had a long and distinguished relationship with the University of Kansas, dating back to his undergraduate days as a Summerfield Scholar."
Conard earned a bachelor's degree in journalism and a master's in political science at the University of Kansas. He then went to the University of Paris with a Rotary Club scholarship and earned his doctorate in international law.
"People thought well of him," Dykes said. "When he would introduce me, a young guy from Tennessee, people would accept me, because John Conard was doing the introduction."
Graveside services with military honors for Conard are today at 10:30 a.m. in Fairview Cemetery in Greensburg. Funeral services were held yesterday at Plymouth Congregational Church in Lawrence.
