Thirty-eight mile lecture
PATRONIZE KANSAN ADVERTISERS
TV links KU with Med Center
By Alison Steimel Kansan Staff Reporter
A sociology professor walked into 203 Bailey and began lecturing. Her class started taking notes-38 miles away at the KU Medical Center.
The instructor was on television.
With KU's microwave hookup, professors and students can be either in Kansas City or in Bailey Hall; television cameras, monitors and television sets in both classrooms mean students and teachers can see and hear each other.
The equipment in each classroom consists of one television
Canadian to talk on provincial life
A Canadian professor will discuss life in the provinces Dec. 8 at KU, but not the provinces of his homeland.
Roy M. Wiles of McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, will discuss English rural life at 3:30 p.m. in the Kansas Union Forum Room. "Life in the Provinces: Views from the 18th-Century English Press," the speech topic, is drawn from Wiles' work on the English provincial press.
Wiles also has published "Serial Publication in England before 1750" and "Scholarly Reporting in the Humanities." Currently he is a visiting professor at Ohio State University.
camera and one or more monitors.
A trained operator is necessary for both cameras during the classes. The operator sets up the equipment, changes the lens and follows the instructor's movements.
Kenneth Gill, microwave engineer at KU, supervises the three part-time KU operators. These are students, employed by the university and usually radiotelevision majors or graduates with training in operating the equipment.
One special feature of the TV cameras used in the link is the zoom lens. This lens can be changed, by pushing in a lever, from a wide cover shot of the room to a tight enlargement of the instructor or materials being used.
On other types of cameras the operator must change lens to get a closeup picture.
Four classes now use the microwave system. Gale Adkins, professor of radio-television and coordinator of instructional television, said three more have made plans to use the link next semester.
The classes must be scheduled through Adkins, in Room 302 Flint.
Also, he wants to install a radio frequency system which would allow classes to go on at several locations both at KU and the Medical Center.
The equipment is available for classes at no cost to departments at the present time, said Adkins. The link is a service of the university.
Gill said he would like a more professional broadcasting type of camera than the industrial model used now.
An instructor in one building wanting to see the class in another building on the same campus could do so by plugging in the correct circuit.
KU searching for visual arts dean
KU needs a new kind of administrator—an associate dean for the visual arts, Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe announced today,
The new associate dean will work in cooperation with Thomas Gorton, dean of the School of Fine Arts, in being responsible for the departments of drawing and painting, design, and occupational therapy.
A faculty search committee is now working to find the right man to fill the new position, which will open next year.
Last year at KU 76 people earned bachelor of fine arts degrees. Bachelor of science degrees were awarded in occupational therapy, and 13 master of fine arts degrees were earned.

Guess who forgot his NoDoz.
As Rip Van Winkle failed to learn, there's a time and a place yourself nodding off at the wrong time or in the wrong place, rescue (You do carry some with you at all times, don't you?) A couple of NoDoz and you're with it again. And NoDoz is non habit-forming NoDoz. When you can't be caught napping.
THE ONE TO TAKE WHEN YOU HAVE TO STAY ALERT.
