BLAH, BLAH, BLAH BLAH, BLAH, BLAH BLAH, POOBAH IS DEFINITELY NOT A CASE OF...BLAH, B BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH Ph.D. Work Led to Largest Concordance Computer Helps Compile Book By MARILYN K. KING Kansas Writer The largest concordance in the world has been compiled by Dean E. Klinger of the English at Baker University and Lawrence resident, with the help of the huge Honeywell 635 upper deck at the University of Kansas. The 7000-page "Concordance to the Plays and Prefaces of George Bernard" contains nearly twenty countries and is nearly times the size of other giant concordances, as those to those in the heart of Europe, Wordworth and the Bible. It was published in February be Gale Research Co. of Detroit, The concordance, which is Bevan's dissertation for his Ph.D. degree, took five years to complete. Aided by a key punch and the help of a friend in the Bevan home in Lawrence for a year and a half, and the honeywell computer, Bevan was able to accomplish in a relatively short time what a friend in Lawrence might have taken several months must complete by hand. "SOME OF the scribes who were born in Palestine Wordsworth concordance worked for most of their adult lives, and many died before the work was completed." Bevan described a concordance as an "ultimate index" to a literary work. It lists alphabetically each important word in the text, "and," "the," and other common words; tells where the word is used; and may give the context in which it is used. The Shakespeare concordance, second in size to Bevern's, has more entries than the more entries per page, but entries in the Shaw concordance are from two to four times longer. There are more entries 11 by 14 by 17 inches. The size of the concordance can be attributed to the fact that Shaw, a British playwright and composer, was continuously from the late 19th century until his death in 1850 at the age of 43. He is best known among them "St. Joan," "Man and Superman," and "magnificent woman" the inspiration for the Broadway musical "Musical Fair Lady." Bevan received a grant of $1,500 from the Kansas City Regional Council for Higher Education for the keypunching work, which was used to create the keyboard and hire key punch operators. THE SIXTY plays and prefaces referred to in the concordance contain more than two million punch cards, punched into computer cards. Omission of common words resulted in a 60 per cent reduction in volume, but a staggering increase in the number needed to produce the concordance. "I would come home at night and there would be a stack of cards about a foot high that had been punched that day. I put the pouch of puffed each one and a punch a new card every time I found a mistake. You can't erase a hole in a card." You can’t erase a hole in a card.” THE FINAL. computer programming.

The there print pages were photographed, reduced by 50 per cent and printed at 8.25 x 11 inches. "I read the entire contents of the concordance three times—once in play and preface form for my Ph. D. exams and twice in entry form when proofreading and primotit." Bevan remarked. Bevan decided to complete the concordance after his thesis adviser, Edwards. AEdwards, a doctor of Engineering at the university there was a need for one. It will allow research to be done on Shaw that was never before discovered and discovered several potential thesis topics while completing the concordance and will probably paper a year on Shaw. Shaw. "SHAW IS THE greatest English dramatist or playwright is the most favorite literary figure. "He was a public man, not a literary one." The concordance will be purchased by libraries and private scholars at a cost of $275. Bevan said that British and American colleges should be interested in the concordance. However, as yet By LESLIE RISS Kansan Staff Writer 'Because' Offers Listeners For Troubled Students "When you're weary and feelin' small, When teras are in your eyes, I will dry them all."

Although Canterbury House is connected with the Episcopal Church, because it is not part of the service. The building was available and the atmosphere was because 'we were established there.' Students starting Because were given minimal training by Thomas Reilly, assistant professor of psychology. Many calls were received when the service began last spring. When the fall semester began, a teacher was unorganized and unused. A student who called the service in the spring, called again last fall to ask when it would start happen. He and other students got to know the organizer of Because. 15-20 students volunteered to help. Several of the volunteers went to the Mental Health Center at Akilwa where he Dyndsy Neekabu supported.

Because has become better organized she knew this service for her. She will be 8-12 p. m. every week night and from p. m. to 6 a. m. on Sundays. The calls that are received are primarily from lonely, depressed students. One male freshman called who was living in a dormitory and was having trouble finding friends. He called Because to talk and tell someone his problem. Later in college, he met Captain House to talk further. A female graduate student missed her boyfriend who lived in California. She needed to talk to counselor and called the listening service. A recurring problem seems to be adjusting to a college environment after being in other environments.
