Med Center united by literary journal
Kansan staff writer
A literary journal put out by University of Kansas Medical Center students and staff, is evidence that medical students and faculty have a creative side.
The semiannual journal, "Synapse: Making Connections," features poems, short stories and essays by students and staff at the Med Center. The second issue, put out one month ago, is available at various offices at the Med Center.
'Synapse' uncovers creative talents
John Westfall, managing editor of the publication and second-year medical student, said he planned to publish the journal twice a year as long as money was available.
"I think that we have plenty of material to keep two issues going a year," he said.
year.
So far, the journal has 25 to 30 contributing writers, but Westfall would like to have more.
"We'd like to have over 100 contributors on our list next year," he said.
Robert Hudson, chairman of the department of history and philosophy of medicine, is the faculty adviser for the journal. He said he provided both financial and moral support for the project.
journal's title appeared in an editorial in the first issue. A synapse is a neurochemical connection between two or more neurons or nerve cells. It allows for communication between two nerve cells.
The idea behind the journal is to connect campus members and workers through creative expression. The function of a synapse, and of "Synapse," is to provide connection, response and action.
The idea for the journal originated when Westfall and another medical student were discussing a William
Carlos Williams poetry competition in Ohio. Williams was a physician and poet and the inspiration for "Synapse," Westfall said in his first editorial.
Hudson said that so far, only students and staff from the Med Center had contributed material for the journal. But future contributors may not necessarily be from the Med Center.
"We're not keeping it just Med Center people, but that is the major focus," he said. "We will accept writings from other sources."
Westfall said there was not enough money to distribute the journal on the Lawrence campus yet.
Candidate ready to take on Slattery
By Paula Messbarger
Kansan staff writer
Although his opponent has won three straight elections to the U.S. House of Representatives, Phil Neinhardt remains confident that he will take Kansas' 2nd District by storm.
the world.
"Jim Slattery (D-Kan.) no longer represents the people's needs in Kansas," Meinhard said yesterday on a campaign trip through Lawrence. "I'm going to bring this to the attention of the voters. The clear choice is with me."
Meinhardt, 53, is a retired U.S. Air Force officer and has been living in Topeka since March. Before then, he spent more than 30 years in the U.S. Navy and the Air Force with assignments around
the World.
Although Meinhardt has not lived in Kansas since 1952, when he left his family's farm in Bawainae County to join the Navy, he thinks his experiences in other states and countries can only benefit him in office.
“It’s a benefit, not a handicap, to see problems in France and England,” he said. “The experience is invaluable.”
Meindhäuf's Air Force career included 14 changes of station. He was a pilot and engineer and he earned his degree in business from UCLA.
Meinhardt said he produced the first military payload for the space shuttle, helped plan the evacuation of hostages from the Congo and
refugees from the Mideast and India-Pakistan border conflicts and participated in early research on the Strategic Defense Initiative ("Star Wars").
Meinhardt said his technological education had been "fabulous."
education had to "If I am called upon to deal with 'Star Wars,' I've actually participated in it," he said. "I have a good frame of reference to deal with technology."
with technology.
Meinhardt said he had a strong
Republican philosophy.
Meinhardt said his proposal to improve the United States was to
"The federal government should stay out of our pockets and off our backs," he said. "I am against tax increases and the government dictating what we do here in Kansas."
freeze government expenditures where they are now, which includes freezing military spending and the farmers' budget unless there is a change in the cost of living.
Meinhardt said the government should move carefully when making changes. He said the Democrats had too many programs that were not thought out, which can only add to the U.S. deficit.
"The way I work." Meinhardt said, "is like I am doing a formal analytical paper. I lay out the problem, examine it with many options and get everyone's cooperation. I don't propose to give solutions to all our problems, but I know how to get there."
