Liberal Arts task force to study change in course requirements
By DAVID POWLS Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
A dean's task force will be appointed this spring to recommend changes in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, a KU official said Saturday.
Michael Young, associate dean of the college, said the task force would use suggestions made by four faculty-student seminar groups and work with the University to core curriculum培训 to make a single proposal next fall.
Robert Cobb, executive vice chancellor, and Deanell Tacha, vice chancellor for academic affairs, appointed members of the committee members last fall. said Young

"THE COLLEGE'S seminar groups have undertaken a broader task of reviewing the general educational programs in the college. The final recommendations will overlap each other."
Many KU officials in the college said last week that they would oppose a project that takes 50 percent of a department's budget and gives that money to other departments to finance graduate students.
For more than a year, the Western Civilization program and the departments of history and philosophy part of a test project that does lust that
And Robert Lineberry, dean of the college, said similar projects were
James Akagi, chairman of the
microbiology department, said he would oppose projects similar to the Western Civilization model.
"WE USALLY don't have to graduate students to teach our own courses," he said. "Only the chairman knows the real needs of that department."
He said it would be possible for graduate students in microbiology to teach biology or other science courses but not English or humanities courses.
"Many science students do not have good backgrounds in English," he said.
"And if we used English graduate students to teach our introductory courses, it would be dangerous for students."
Each year the microbiology department receives enough money to pay 15 teaching assistants, but the department hires 22, he said.
He said extra money to pay the seven others came from salaries of faculty members who were on leave without pay or on sabbatical.
"It USED TO be that the college kept 60 percent and our department received 40 percent of the absent faculty." "We don't know how we have to ask for the extra money."
"We never get what is coming to us. Charles Himmelberg, chairman of the department of mathematics, said he too would oppose any new administrative system that would require his department to guarantee teaching positions for graduate students not in the mathematics department.
"When we hire, we want to hire the best candidates," Himmelberg said. "Surprisingly, good candidates for our job were born from many different departments."
"But I would not like to be obligated to certain departments."
HE SAID THE mathematics department hired approximately 50 teaching assistants each year, and that 12 of them usually came from outside
Graduate students from the schools of Engineering and Business and from the departments of philosophy, economics and biological sciences usually applied for teaching positions in mathematics, he said.
But Victor Wallace, chairman of the computer science department, said projects similar to the Western Civilization could be used throughout the college.
"It's a good thing to do, with caution," Wallace said. "I think graduate students from other departments could be made qualified to teach the Computer Science 200 course.
"Some could teach the course now."
The computer science department has teaching assistants this year and only one is from outside the department.
GERHARD ZUTHER, chairman of the department of English, said he opposed the Western Civilization model and did not expect the English department to be part of a similar project in the future.
"It's not the ideal solution," Zuther said. "Departments in which teachers teach should have authority over them."
He said he thought the English department might be asked to help
Requirements for graduate students within college departments may be lowered, and those graduate students might be required to teach a few courses in an integrated liberal arts and humanities program, he said.
Investigators use computers, planes to catch horse thieves, cattle rustlers
By United Press International
LAS VEGAS, Nev. — Horse thieves and cattle rushfiers still roam the range, but the days of possees and a hangman's noose have been replaced by computers and lawmen flying in airplanes.
About 50 members of the Western States Livestock Investigators Association met this weekend to compare the results at Laughlin, Nev., on the Colorado River.
Ward, who works out of the Kern County Sheriff's Department in Bakersfield. Calif., said it was almost perfect with a rusher or horse thief in the act.
"It's bigger than most people would think," said Doug Ward, president of the 11-state, 100-member organization. "It's a quite a problem for runners."
THEY JUST drive a truck or van
out onto the range and load 'em up," he said. "In one day, the animal can be in California or Texas or Colorado. That makes our organization so important."
"It is very easy to dispose of stolen livestock," he said. "As a rustler, I can consume it myself, sell it to my neighbors and I've found a few restaurants in my area who will take stolen meat."
Capt, Bob Nordtome of the Arizona Livestock Department said that people nowadays usually rustle for money, not food.
"People think it just went on in the territorial days, but it's bigger than that," she said. "We primarily for money, rather than because they're hungry." It's greed."
has increased by about 30 percent in the past year to about 12 cases each month, sheriff's Sgt. Bill Bacon said.
"A modern rustler looks for a good, fat, healthy horse," he said. "He comes back at night, walks the horse into an arena and hits the freeway for Phoenix.
"The horses are killed, cut up, packaged, frozen and air shipped to France and Belgium, where consumers regard horsemeat as a delicacy; it is also sold in stores and on horsemeat over there is about $40 a pound. In Japan it goes for over $60.
EVEN IN Los Angeles, horse stealing
Phoenix is the site of the closes slaughterhouse with a federal permit to butcher horses for human consumption.
"The average healthy horse is about 1,200 pounds. The thief gives 40 to 50 cents a pound, so he's getting $500 to $600 a horse."

Libyan attack in the works Sudan says
By United Press International
The United States' involvement with Libya stemmed from an intercepted memorandum by a top Libyan general that detailed plans for military troops in three countries, it was reported yesterday.
- KHARTOUM, Sudan — Sudan accused Bilya yesterday of breaking uprest in its troubled southern region and massing warplanes on the Libyan-Sudanese border in preparation for bombing raids.
"The Sudanese army and people stand together to repulse and crush any Libyan attack against Sudan," the Sudanese information and national guidance minister, Mohammed Abu Sag, said in a statement.
A MASTER'S RECTAL, by Isobel Bartz, soprano, will be at 8 p.m. in Swarworth.
The Los Angeles Herald-Examiner reported from Washington that initially no one in the U.S. government took the memo seriously. The memorandum reportedly outlined plans for overthrowing the governments of Mauritania, Tunisia and Sudan and installing pro-Libyan regimes in such a way that the overthrows would appear as internal coups.
The United States sent four AWACS surveillance planes to Egypt and the aircraft carrier Nimitz to the waters off Libya last week in a show of strength. The AWACs and the Nimitz had been ordered to leave the area this week.
Abu Sag said Libyan Soviet-made Tu-22 bombers and MIG-23 jet fighters were on alert at Libya's Al-Kufra axis near the Sudanese border and in the Libyan-occupied Aozou and Faya Largeau regions of northern Chad, which shares its eastern borders with Sudan.
U. S. AND Egyptian officials said, however, the threat of a Libyan attack against the pro-American government led the pro-Jeaffa Numeiry bad diminished.

New diet cola becomes most popular KU drink
By SUSAN WORTMAN
Staff Reporter
It's not "the real thing" but it's selling like it.
Diet Coke has been in campus vending machines for about four weeks and it is the top-selling drink at the University of Kansas. Diet Coke has a strong hold all public schools at KU, according to Forrest Jolly, manager of KU vending.
More than 36 percent of Americans are drinking diet something, he said. Even so, Coca-Cola waited a long time before putting out Diet Coke.
"DIET IS definitely the market now; it's the only part of the industry with a good growth rate."
"We've just unloaded 840 cases of Diet Coke off the truck. That's 20,160 cans of pop. And that's only enough to last us about a week." Jolly said.
Thanks
But new products always sell well, he said.

AN ARMED ROBBER stole drugs and cash worth an estimated $581 Friday from the Medicine Shoppe, 1901 Massachusetts St., police said. The robber was reportedly armed with a knife and some weapons were stimulants and painkillers.
On the record
A MOTORCYCLE worth an estimated $6,000 was reported stolen from a Lawrence resident Saturday, police said. The cycle was parked in the 900 block of Mississippi Street. Police have no suspect in the crime.
Tab will probably be pushed out of the market and will be replaced by Diet Coke, Jolly predicted.
"WOMEN DRINK more diet pop and women will continue to drink Tab, so it will be there," he said.
