Family Life Department Started Here
Food is still one of the main ways to a man's heart, and clothes to a woman's.
But what was formerly the home economics department at KU believes there are other essentials for a happy home life.
Renamed the department of family life, its curriculum offers more than food and clothing courses.
And for both the homemaker and career girl, there is a relatively new course," Woman in Contemporary Culture," a study of women's multiple roles in today's society. This course has usually included several interested males.
For example, there are classes tracing the courtship period from engagement to marriage. After these come the less romantic aspects in such courses as Special Problems in Family Life, I, and II.
These changes indicate that Family Life focuses on a change of direction, according to Prof. Frances Horowitz, acting chairman of the department. Prof. Horowitz, a developmental psychologist, said staff members from disciplines other than home economics will strengthen both the undergraduate areas of emphasis and the graduate research program in cooperation with other departments of the University.
Particular stress has been placed on child development courses, from infant stage to adolescence. Child care and guidance classes, originally for nurses only, provide information to sooth anxious mothers.
Establishment of the Richard Marden Barnes Memorial Student Loan Fund at the University of Kansas was made in August.
Memorial Fund Set for'60 Grad
Richart, son of Dr. and Mrs. Conrad M. Barnes of Seneca, was president of his University graduating class of 1960. Following graduation, he was a member of a three-man team created to establish People-to-People programs at the college level in all 50 states.
He was fatally injured in an automobile accident near Seneca on July 16, 1964.
The fund was established through contributions of friends of the family. It will be used, on a loan basis, to assist worthy students from foreign lands studying at the University, a project in which Richart was much interested during his lifetime.
The memorial fund will be permanent on the records of the Endowment Association and will remain open for further contributions in his memory.
