Professor Ise was 'outspoken'
Dr. John Ise, 83, professor emeritus of economics, died yesterday at Lawrence Memorial Hospital after a long illness.
The University Daily Kansan once quoted Mr. Ise as saying he spent the first 20 years of his life

sitting on the west porch of his home in Downs looking for rain.
He spent most of the rest of his years at KU.
Mr. Ise first enrolled as a KU student in 1904. Seven years later he had earned bachelor's degrees in music, English and law. He received his master's degree in economics from Harvard in 1912 and a Ph.D. in economics in 1914, also from Harvard.
After holding an assistant professorship in economics at Iowa State University for two years, Mr. Ise returned to KU in 1916. From then until he retired

in 1954, the "old curmudgeon," as he was fond of referring to himself, taught nearly 12,000 students, many of whom remembered him as their favorite professor.
Mr. Ise was one of the most outspoken professors at KU, both during and after his tenure, freely expressing opinions ranging from U.S. conservation policies, Presidential campaigns to socialism. He was frequently called on for speaking engagements by universities and civic organizations across the nation.
Mr. Ise authored books and pamphlets including "United States Forest Policy" in 1920, "United States Oil Policy" in 1926, and "Sod and Stubble" in 1936—a biographical novel about his mother, an early Kansas pioneer.
In 1946 he wrote "Economics," which became one of the most widely used textbooks in the field. The 731-page introductory text was written, said Mr. Ise in the preface, only after "resisting the lure of lucre and the blandishments of publishers for 30 years."
Mr. Ise was a member of the Unitarian church, Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Delta Phi, Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, Delta Sigma Phi, Beta Gamma Sigma, the American Economic Association, the American Geographic Society, the American Association of University Professors and several conservationist and humane organizations.
He also donated the Charles Ise Memorial Animal Shelter in Lawrence in memory of his son who died in 1955.
The KU Medical Center will have 38 interning physicians next year-16 more than last year, reported Dr. Jack D. Walker, associate dean of the School of Medicine yesterday. The interns will report June 20 for one year of educational experience prior to the practice of medicine or additional training in medical specialties he said.
KUMC lists interns
Thirteen physicians will go to KU Medical Center for rotating internships; 15 are in medicine; four in surgery; four in pediatrics and two in pathology.
Of the 38, 18 are in the 1969 KU medical class. Others are from the Universities of Arkansas, Colorado, Miami, Michigan, Nebraska, Utah and Wisconsin; Boston University; Columbia University; New York
University; St. Louis University; Medical College of Georgia; Harvard Medical School, and Marquette School of Medicine.
Walker said, "The results are most encouraging and represent a great amount of vigorous work and recruitment on the part of the medical staff and the house staff committee at the Medical Center.

Ace Johnson, popular proprietor of The Stables (famed home of the KU student) confidently flashes the victory sign as he prepares to ride an uncooperative bucking horse. In this ill-fated contest of man against beast, the horse won, launching Ace into midair moments after this photo was taken. Undoubted with this ego shattering experience, Ace will continue to practice for the 3rd Annual KU Rodeo coming April 11th at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.
