Bricker to speak at SUA forum
"The Energy Needs of the World" will be discussed in the Last Lecture Forum series at 4:30 p.m. Thursday in the Kansas Union Room Forum.
Assisting Fallin in organizing the club are Chris Barteldes, Lawrence sophomore, Jeff Rockwell, Wichita sophomore and Dick Bacon, Neodesha senior.
Clark Bricker, professor of chemistry, will be the featured speaker.
THE LAST LECTURE Forum series is sponsored by the Student Union Activities (SUA).
The 89th Congress passed the bill providing for regional allocations in 1965 after President Johnson recommended a regional approach against the diseases in a 1964 special health message to congress. The medical community previously had opposed the government getting into medicine, has been cooperating in implementing the bill since it was enacted.
This way, Reed added, the professor can be as philosophical as he wants or he may talk about a current problem.
The idea behind the Last Lecture Forum, Darrel Reed, Leawood freshman and chairman of the SUA forum, said, is to ask a professor what he would talk about if he had only one more lecture to give.
The lecture is open to the public.
