As soon as he confessed he was a Missouri fan, fraternity members booed him and duct-taped him to the wall. Tamblyn, a 1979 KU graduate and alumnus of Sigma Alpha Episcopal, said he enjoyed coming back to a KU fraternity.
"Nothing has changed from 1979. They are still wild." Tamblyn said.
Med Center offers other career paths
Students undecided about their majors have several more options if they consider programs at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan.
The Med Center offers several undergraduate programs that require one to two years of course work on the Med Center campus. This work begins after a student's sophomore or junior year.
Enrolling in these courses takes planning, because most have several prerequisites. These prerequisite classes should be begun during students' freshman or sophomore years.

The five undergraduate programs offered are cytotechnology, health information management, medical technology, respiratory care and occupational therapy.
Cytotechnology involves detection and diagnosis of abnormal
cells. It is a 12-month program completed during a student's senior year. Four applicants out of about 40 are admitted each year.
Students interested in business and science can pursue a career in health information management. Students who obtain this 12-month degree work with medical, financial and administrative personnel at the hospital.
Kellogg said a recent report in a State of Kansas Human Resources publication stated health information jobs would expand by 75 percent by 2005.
Medical technology, also a 12month program, involves laboratory work to perform tests diagnosing and treating diseases.
Occupational therapy involves creative treatments for people with disabilities or disorders. These graduates usually have their choice of jobs before graduation, Loescher said. They work in schools, hospitals, psychiatric departments, rehabilitation centers and skilled nursing centers.
All of the programs are able to place students in jobs within three months of graduation, Loescher said.
