Students man weather line
By JOHN RODRIGUEZ Staff Reporter
For those who need more weather information than many forecasts provide, the student staff of the KU Weather Service offers a 24-hour telephone line to answer questions about past, present and future weather conditions.
Students often call the service to find out what the weather will be like during weekends or a holiday, said John Greenwood, Kansas City, Mo., senor, and one of the students who prepares the forecasts.
prepares the forecast.
But people use the service for a variety of reasons. For example, lawyers call the weather service to verify weather conditions at the time of an auto accident, Greenwood said.
Greenwood is enrolled in Meteorology 605, Weather Forecasting Practicum, the class that operates the weather service phone line. Joe R. Eagleman, professor of atmospheric science, supervises the weather service.
The local forecast by the KU Weather Service is available at 864-3304. Specific questions about the weather can be answered at 864-4329
GREENWOOD SAID student forecasters didn't receive much criticism from callers after a missed forecast.
"I've given some bad forecasts but nobody's ever caught me," he said.

He said the students' forecasts were checked against the records of observation posts near Lindley Hall, which measured precipitation, temperature, air pressure, wind speed and direction.

If their forecasts are off more than 5 percent, the students have to explain their mistake to Eagleman.
Becky Reheis, Olathe senior, said the students' forecasts sometimes
conflicted with those of the National Weather Service.
weather services.
ONCE HER FORECAST differed with the national forecast, she said, and a local radio station seemed to place more faith in the National Weather Service. She said she felt vindicated when her forecast calling for rain turned out to be correct.
"We're like stockbrokers, except we go out loud with our predictions." Rehels said. Weather forecasters always hear criticism when they make wrong forecasts, but are never given credit for correct forecasts.
Eagleman said the course helped students qualify for jobs after graduation.

"Practical experience is a big factor in getting them jobs," he said.
Kenex said, "without this course,
you really can't go out and forecast."
We're can't go out and Greenwood said the weather service soon would move to Malott Hall, where personal computers from International Business Machines Corp. and a satellite dish would improve the gathering of weather information.
India's growth limited,prof says
By SHARON ROSSE Staff Reporter
India has the manpower, resources and desire to prosper, but economic and social problems have restricted its growth, the chairman of the department of psychology said yesterday.
Howard Baumgartel, the chairman, said that setbacks in economic development, a growing population living in poverty- and conflicting societal and religious factions were some of the problems that have interfered with India's growth.
Baumgartel conducted research at
Xavier Labour Relations Institute in Jamshedpur, India, during the spring of 1894. He spoke yesterday to about 60 men on his impressions of the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave. His speech was part of the weekly University Forum series.
Fotofish YEAR WAS a tough year for India." Baumgartal said. "There were riots in Bombay, the Golden Temple suppression, Indira Gandhi's assassination and a major industrial accident in Bhopal."

Despite huge investments from India and foreign sources, India is not reaping economic rewards, Raumungerlai said.
aumgartner said. "It takes twice as much investment to get one unit of GNP growth are it did 25 years ago," Baumgartel said. "These huge investments are not paying off."
not paying for the problems of India's problems, Baumgartel said, is the illiteracy and the increased disparity of wealth among its people.
among its people. During the last 25 years, the percentage of Indians who are illiterate and live in poverty has remained about 40 percent, Baumartel said.

But India's population has increased at a rate of 12 to 13 million people each year during that time, he said.
"And poverty in India means nothing, bare subsistence," he said.
