Butler said there were three reasons for KU students to take the Barton course.
Transfer
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
The first reason was the University's Western Civilization program can't fit in every student's class schedule, he said.
Associate Vice Provost Jim Carothers said full enrollment occurred with any popular course.
"It's a happy problem to have if you're teaching the subject," he said. "With the current system, not every student's need for flexible class schedules can be attained."
Carothers said expanding the budget for the Humanities and Western Civilization program would only fix part of the issue.
"Just having the money would not necessarily solve the problem," he said, "If we did not have enough qualified graduate teaching assistants who wanted to do the teaching."
The second reason was students pay less when taking the courses online. The class costs $125 per credit hour online regardless of whether the student pays in-state or out-of-state tuition at the University. Out-of-state students spend $337.45 per credit hour at the University. Thus, savings total $637.35 per three-hour course taken online. Although in-state students pay just $97.35 per credit at the University, Butler said, they still benefit by taking the courses from Barton.
"Even in-state students see the savings." Butler said, "Instead of paying $400 for books at KU, students pay just $100 for our material and no enrollment fees."
The third reason he gave was the perception it would be easier taking the equivalent online.
Spreckelmeyer said the Barton system didn't concentrate on texts enough, such as the KU program does. For this reason, she said, Barton may transfer better as a history course.
Butler said the KU's course, instead, might need the change.
"If you look at Western Civilization, it may be misnamed," he said. "It should be called 'Great Books' because that's what the course covers."
changes to the course.
"We don't like harping just on great books," he said. "It should be more like a history course, instead of reading entire books, just take excerpts from them."
Regardless, Butler said, his department would make an effort to keep the course transferable. He said he planned to send an updated syllabus to the University but not make any drastic
Spreckelmeyer said the course could become transferable again if Barton made changes even after the set deadline.
"What we have done is to tryto achieve a happy medium between those two descriptions," she said.

Cell phone radiation protection ineffective
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Two companies that sold small shields promoted as protection from radiation emitted by cell phones have been barred from making such claims. Federal Trade Commission officials said yesterday.
The government is unlikely to collect any fines or consumer payments, however, because the companies went out of business while the cases were pending, said an agency lawyer, Serena Viswanathan.
FTC suits last charged the companies with making unsubstantiated scientific claims about the shields that fit over cellular phone earpieces. The government says the shields do not work as advertised and may cause wireless devices to emit even more energy.
Major studies have found no harmful effects of cell phones, but longer-term research continues. Even if a danger is found, products that block only the phone's earpiece are ineffective because the entire phone emits radiation the FTC says.
The FTC reached a settlement with Comstar Communications Inc. of West Sacramento, Calif., which marketed the "WaveShield" as 99 percent effective at blocking radiation. An order approved last week by the U.S. District Court in Sacramento bars Comstar from making claims without reliable scientific evidence. Calls to a lawyer representing Comstar were not returned.
Ashcroft challenges injunction in court
The Associated Press
PORTLAND, Ore. Attorneys for the state told a federal appeals court yesterday that Attorney General John Ashcroft had no right to interfere with doctor-assisted suicide in Oregon because states had historically regulated the practice of medicine.
U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals considered Ashcroft's challenge to a federal judge's injunction last year barring him from interfering with the Oregon law.
"This case is about delegation of authority — did Congress delegate authority to the attorney general to override state law," said Robert Rocklin, an Oregon assistant attorney general.
The argument came as a three-judge panel of the 9th
The law, approved by voters in 1994, lets doctors prescribe a lethal dose of narcotics to terminally ill patients who request assistance.
In 1997, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that states could decide whether to allow assisted suicide.
But Ashcroft, citing the federal Controlled Substances Act, issued a directive threatening to revoke the licenses of doctors who aid suicides with narcotics.
