More than just another bakery, Joe ' s is a tradition It ' s late. You are exhausted from studying and really need a relaxing break. Your stomach is yearning for a late night snack. The solution: get a bunch of friends together and head to the perfect oasis Joe ' s Bakery. Sometimes when I ' m studying late at night, I get an immense craving that only Joe ' s can satify, Matt Paquette, Bolingbrook, 111., sophomore said. Joe ' s Bakery, located at 616 W. 9th St., opened 41 years ago and has been a popular place ever since. Joe Smith first started the bakery in 1952, and his son Ralph has owned the business for the last 13 years. During these past years, students most often get Joe ' s popular glazed doughnut. Many prefer to go during the baking hours from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., when the doughnuts are fresh out of the oven. Joe ' s tries to always have hot doughnuts when customers come in at night. When I walk into the store and see the baker take out a fresh, steaming hot tray of glazed doughnuts, I start to salivate with anticipation, said Alex Buxton, Sacramento, Calif., sophomore. They are the best tasting doughnuts I ' ve ever had. Ralph Smith agrees that the hot doughnuts are what draws in the crowds. What made Joe ' s the business that it is today are the hot, fresh doughnuts. Because of these doughnuts, Joe ' s can get to be a very crowded place. Their busiest times are from 9 p.m. to midnight during the week- days, and after midnight on Fridays. The What a great place the doughnuts, the people, the at- mosphere. God bless Joe ' s, Brad Brooks, Hill City freshman. bakery also gets very busy when there are special events in Lawence. On the days that football games are played, it gets very hectic around here, Ralph said. Everyone stops in to get their share of our doughnuts. Many people like the fact that Joe ' s prices on doughnuts are relatively inexpensive. A dozen glazed doughnuts cost only $2.60. It ' s great because the doughnuts are affordable for poor college students like me, but there ' s only one thing wrong with them, Natosha Hailing, Fairway sophomore said. They ' re so danger- ously addictive! For many years, students have been addicted to Joe ' s doughnuts. New students arriving at KU for the first time had even heard of the bakery from either friends or family members that attended the university. Business is often done by word of mouth. I heard about Joe ' s through my sister and my brother-in-law, who are both KU graduates. They told me it was one of the many traditions that I would encounter here, Brad Brooks, Hill City freshman said. And they were right because I absolutely love their doughnuts. In addition to doughnuts, Joe ' s offers a variety of foods such as cookies, croissants and sandwiches, which are also popular items. For Brooks, Joe ' s is more than just a bakery. What a great place, he said, the dough- nuts, the people, the atmosphere. God bless Joe ' s. O Joe ' s Doughnuts

DAILEY DOSES BY KATE HOUSE 66 1 ' Only instead of once a week, I do it two or tliree times a week. Dennis Dailey, Professor of Social Welfare, and Honors for Outstanding Progressive Edueators Award Reeipieiit. Sex. The word conjures up many ideas, but for Dennis Dailey, it means work. A profes- sor in the School of Social Welfare, and a Sexologist, Dailey has many memorable moments at KU. For a person who has fun all the time doing what they do, memorable moments are hard to identify, Dailey said. When people aren ' t doing what they love to do, and something extrordinary happens, it becomes a memorable moment. Instead, the slim gentleman with the grey hair, beard and snapping blue eyes names off a list of memorable things: being a part of the anti-war movement in the 70 ' s, seeing a student get it when they are sitting in class, the 1988 basketball championship, receiving a chancellor ' s profes- sorship, and doing something where students laugh until they cry. That ' s a memorable mo- ment, he said. Dailey teaches one of KU ' s most popular classes: Human Sexuality and Everyday Life, which focuses on the facets of human sexuality, male female social stigmas, and interpersonal relationships. His frank, colorful language and sense of humor are an extra attraction to the class. Born in Fergus Falls, Minne- sota, Dailey was raised in area towns until he was 12 years old. After that, his family moved to the Twin Cities in St. Louis Park, a suburb of Minneapolis. Dailey said choosing a career in social welfare stems from his background. I think I grew up in a home where helping people was valued. My religious background has something to do with it; connect- ing with people, he said. As an undergraduate, he was initially headed for the priest- hood. Lectures are more like sermons, Dailey said. Only instead of once a week, I do it two or three times a week. Dailey received his bachelor ' s degree in Sociology and Psychol- ogy from Hamlin University in St. Paul, Minn., his master ' s of science degree in social work from University of Missouri in Colum- bia, and his doctorate degree from Washington University in St. Louis. Having done all this, one might wonder how he happened to come into Sexology. Some of it was accidental. Dailey said. Some of it came from post master ' s clinical work. He also said some of his interest comes from personal and professional experience. After earning his master ' s degree, Dailey worked full time as a social worker, helping couples and broken families. It was while doing this that he realized sexual problems are often the cause of marital problems. When Dailey entered his doctoral program, he became a part of the Masters and Johnson program. That ' s where my real learning started, he said. Before leaving KU, Dailey does admit there are some things that he would like to accomplish. I would like to learn more and grow more as a teacher I don ' t want to stop doing that, he said. According to Dailey, there are about a half dozen books in his head that he would like to write and hopefully get half of those published. Thinking more, his format of future accomplishments seemed harder to come by. Dailey said, For the past 20 years, I have been doing exactly what I wanted to do when I grew up. I don ' t have any lofty ambitions about fame and fortune. If I can keep getting better at what I do, then I ' ll have achieved my purpose. Dennis Dailey, professor of Social Welfare.
