'Dynamic man'
Law student assists dean
By RICH LOVETT
The assistant to the Dean of Men also is a student. Or should it be said that a KU student also is the assistant to the Dean of Men?
JAY STRAYER
In the case of Jay Strayer, Shawnee Mission first year law student, the choice can scarely be made. Working toward a law degree and hoping for a master's in business administration later, Strayer devotes most of his remaining time to helping Donald Alderson, dean of men.
IN THE LATTER capacity much of Strayer's days and evenings are spent working with the KU fraternity system as advisor to the Inter-Fraternity Council (IFC) and the Fraternity President's Council. Coupled with other duties and activities, Strayer's schedule would put lesser men on tranquilizers.
How does he do it all? "I budget my time," he said in an interview at his apartment, where he is surrounded by furniture he refinished during "spare" hours. "Some days I wonder if I'm going to be ready for class, and sometimes I find myself studying during lunch, but I try to be more than just an onlooker."
Strayer originally was graduated from KU in 1964 and joined the Navy under the ROTC program. Upon completion of his tour of duty he planned to study law at Washington University in St. Louis.
"I HAD ALREADY been accepted, and had even paid my $50 deposit," he said. "My wife had a teaching job there in St. Louis. Then Dean Alderson called me and asked me to be the dean's assistant.
Straver accepted.
He said that although many times since he has told himself he took on too much, and that occasionally his present job "gets me down," he says "I'd be bored to death just being a student if I didn't have this job."
WHAT KEEPS STRAYER so busy? The Navy monopolizes his time every Monday night when he drives to Topeka for Naval Reserve meetings. During the rest of the week he attends IFC judiciary and regular meetings and does a host of other things in the interest of KU fraternities.
Part of his night time activities last week, for example, entailed being up until 3:30 a.m. Tuesday at the Phi Gamma Delta fire, attending an IFC meeting Wednesday which lasted until 1 a.m., and missing a Judiciary Council meeting Thursday because he had to attend a Delta Sigma Phi dinner, an IFC dinner and a rush seminar which he conducted.
"He's always doing things for us," said Dennis Taylor, Rancho Cordova, Calif., junior and IFC

"HE'S ONE OF THE most dynamic men I know."
The Strayer name is by now familiar at KU. When his sister, a high school senior, enters KU next fall she will be the sixth in their family to study on the Hill.
Strayer said his law schooling is valuable in such work because "we're trained to see and analyze both sides of a problem and come up with a solution."
All-sports crown goes to OU, second to KU
A title victory in tennis, a runner-up spot in golf, and a third place finish in outdoor track over the weekend aided the Oklahoma Sooners in edging out KU's Jayhawks for the Big Eight all-sports championship.
The Sooner victory margin was by a mere one and one half points, giving OU its 25th all-sports title in 39 years.
FINAL STANDINGS are based on 11 sports. Points are awarded on a basis of one point for a championship, two for a second, and so forth, with the low score taking the all-sports crown.
