THERE ARE ABOUT a dozen students in the class and a few others outside the class who are working on the project. The project has produced an on-camera program.
Fantastic Moonlight Savings!
The executive producer and teacher of the class, George Rasmussen, said he decided to put the necessary work on his students. He thought his students could handle it.

"I was impressed with the class to where I thought I would put something on the air," he said.
“It's an excellent learning experience,” Sally Hadley, Wichita junior, said. “It beats reading books and doing exercises.”
Rasmussen said he had no idea what kind of audience the show had.
FOR THE CLASS, each student is required to do four "remotes," which are on-the-scene features that take from five to 10 hours to complete. All stories are written and edited by the person who must come up with their own ideas.

School of Business to raise grade point average standard
The School of Business will raise its grade point average requirement for admission in the fall of 1982.
Peter Lorenzi, director of under-
graduate programs, said yesterday
that the grade point would be raised
from 2.5 to 3.0 in fall 1982 and then to 2.5 in fall 1983.
The Undergraduate Affairs Committee approved the change on March 27 after discussion in three previous meetings.

"In the short run it will have a negative effect in the enrollment," he said, but in the long run, more materialistic students make the school even more attractive."
Committee, said that student meetings on the subject showed that students were almost unanimously in favor of the change.
She said the quality of the school and the quality of student work would improve.
Lorenzi said the school completed a survey last fall of other universities and their standards.
Most universities around the nation require a 2.3 to 2.8 g.p.a., she said, and now KU's business school standards will conform to the national standards.
