computer science departments of any university in the Midwest.
"It has suffered under heavy demand but has maintained high levels of research activity." Lineberry said: "It is in many ways the finest science department in the Big Eight institutions."
Lineberry praised Wallace, saying that he had done an amazing job of managing scarce resources to meet as many needs as was possible.
"His resignation, so far as I know, was of his own making. He has an active research agenda and is very interested in the field."
Lineberry has asked William Bulgern, professor of computer science and mathematics, and a member of the math department,
science, to be acting co-chairman of the department. He said the search for a new chairman would begin in the next few weeks or a month at most.
WALLACE SAID HE had no regrets about leaving the administrative side of university service.
"I've needed it for some time," he said. "Seven years are enough. I have a reputation to try to build back after seven years of relative unproductivity."
Despite severe faculty shortages, he said, the outlook for the department isn't entirely grim.
"We'll eventually catch up," he said.
"There don't come a surprise."
"Things don't grow exponentially forever."
However, until that time, he said, enrollment
Because the department cannot accommodate all of the students who want to take computer science courses, he said, the department should establish guidelines that would determine who could enroll.
in computer science courses is a matter of "who can get in and who gets squeezed out."
GRADE-POINT AVERAGES, scores on college admissions tests and prerequisite courses in other departments might determine who could enroll in introductory-level courses, he said.
Daanell Tacha, vice chancellor for academic affairs, praised the quality of the department
"I think that Victor Wallace has served the university very well."
Department officials said they also decided to change the format of Math 101 because nationwide studies have shown that students did better in their self-study courses as they did in lecture courses.
Math

HE SAID HE hoped the department would complete a study on the effectiveness of the Math 002 program sometime this year.
"In our comparison of the Math 002 program now to the one before, it seems to be just as effective." Himmelberg said. "From our experience, the pass-fail rate seems to be about the same."
Montgomery she thought an advantage in the change would be that students would be more likely to learn.
self-study program, students must pass every test
"It used to be that students could fail a test and then they would try to get their average up by 10%."
BOTH HIMMELBERG AND Montgomery said they didn't anticipate problems with the new format, but they agreed that some students who were not accustomed to working in an unstructured environment might have problems.
"A major disadvantage is that most students are fresh out of high school," Montgomery said. "They come from a very structured environment to a completely unstructured course. It's hard for some to teach themselves on a daily basis."
Nobel
continued from p. 1
The five-member Norwegian Nobel Committee said Walesa, who ignited a mass workers' rights movement unprecedented in a communist country, had become "an exponent of the active longing for peace and freedom" in the world.
had been rewarded for seeking to resolve Poland's labor and social problems "by the peaceful method of sincere dialogue and the cooperation of all."
Lech Walesa
"In reaching this decision, the committee has taken into account Walesa's contribution, made with considerable personal sacrifice, to ensure that they will bring their own organizations," the citation said.
"Lech Walesa's activities have been characterized by a determination to solve his country's problems through negotiation and cooperation without resorting to violence." It

Walesa said he would turn over the $200,000 prize money over to the Catholic church's $2 auction.
Walera helped to establish Solidarity in 1980 after emerging as the leader of an 18-day strike at the Dgansk shipyards, an event that sparked a wave of unrest with workers claiming the right to participate in an independent union.
A TOUCH BARGAINER, Wales extracted from the government the historic Aug. 31, 1980 Gdansk agreement that recognized the right to strike and organize. But a year later, martial law was declared and Solidarity was outlawed.
"I was trying to persuade the authorities of the necessity of dialogue between workers
and the authorities," Walesa said yesterday. "I was trying not to turt the workers' conflict into a fight."
Nobel Committee Chairman Egil Aarvik predicted that the choice of Wales, the first Polish winner in the 82-year history of the war, would not please Poland's government.
"We don't expect a lot of thank yous." Aarvik said. "From the authorities we should perhaps expect negative reaction. But among the Polish population, joy and thankfulness."
Walisa's selection was hailed by leaders throughout the West as a tribute to one man's stubborn fight for human dignity under a community regime.
"A beautiful decision," Foreign Foreign Minister Claude Cheysson called it, summing up the praise for Walesa pouring in from Western capitals.
IN WASHINGTON, PRESIDENT Reagan said the Nobel Committee's selection "shows
that Mr. Wales has not been forgotten by the international community. And we assure him and his compatriots that they will not be forgotten by the American people."
Reagan said the award "underlines the need for the Polish government to turn away from a policy of confrontation, toward one of reconciliation with all of the Polish people."
Among Polish officials, the reaction was cool. In the Soviet Union and other East bloc countries, it was not a problem.
POLISH STATE RADIO waited six hours to break the news, and a government spokesman said, when asked for an official message, that "I have nothing to say at the moment."
Walaes, interned in Poland for nearly a year after the Dec. 1981 declaration of martial law, has been the target of a government campaign to discredit him in an apparent attempt to head off the Peace Prize selection.
WHICH IS CHRISTIAN?
Which is better?
Can Christians be socialists? or capitalists?
Democracy's freedom is often inefficient;
Socialism's efficiency often overrides individualism.
The Bible provides no one answer.
Christians are found in every system.
