Computing committee to assist in research
Another computing committee recently was created to work with an existing one, not to rival it, Robert Sweeney, vice vice clancher, said yesterday.
Dean Lebesky, chairman of the Academic Computing Committee and associate director of the Kansas Geological Survey, recently told University Senate executive committee members that he was afraid the new committee, an ad hoc computing committee, would duplicate the original committee's work.
But a member of the ad hoc committee, Robert Aangeenbrug, professor of geography, said that the workshops would work closely together.
The ad hoc committee would do the fact-finding for the Academic Computing Committee's projects, Cobb said.
"The ad hoc committee's fact finding will extend beyond what's
historically been the charge of the SenEx committee," he said.
The new committee will do shortterm research on issues in computing such as University use of electronic mail. Cobb said.
The Academic Computing Committee can use the information that the new committee finds to be useful. For example, he said, saving it lots of busywork.
With electronic mail, a person types a letter into a computer and sends it to his correspondent's computer. The computer automatically copies the letter and files it.
The Academic Computing Committee will research broader computer issues and more long-term issues and the other committees, Cobb said.
This year, the Academic Computing Committee developed a recommended policy on the use of University computers for word processing for theses and dissertations.

Winning six months of free passes to films in a local theater contest was gratifying to Mike Gebert, Wichita junior, but not as special as the undergraduate research award he received this semester from the Spencer Art Museum for his play-directing techniques.

Gebert, who also is the Student Union Activities Film Director, said yesterday that she received the research presentation at this semester with the highlight of his two years with SUA.
He said that the award's objectives were to honor a student who had shown creative ability and research initiative in the arts.
"I submitted a proposal telling the University what my project would be—explaining who I thought were the most interesting foreign directors," Gebert
"I told the University that the films by F.W. Murnau, the great German

The other noteworthy occurrence in Gebert's term at SUA came last spring when he entered Commonwealth Theater's "Pick the Oscars" Contest.
Gebert also had an exhibit of Walt Disney cartoons from the silent era.
Gebert said that his work was not limited to directing films.

"I've done program notes for the film series too," he said. "I've also done two exhibits over there. One exhibit was on John Reed, the journalist Warren Beatty portrayed in the movie 'Reds.'"
Gebert said that the Murnau film series had been shown every Saturday since Feb. 20, at the Spencer Art Museum's auditorium. The films will run until April 10. He said the response to the films had been good.
"People flock to see those cartoons, which are all shown in 3-D," Gebert said.
"I've always been interested in criticizing films and I felt that this was a golden opportunity to see how acclaimed it can be" said it to the professional critics," he said.
“This year has been much better than last in the fact that we're showcasing earlier American films,” he said. “I'm proud of all the foreign films that we've brought in—very impressive films of great directorship.”
