Lawrence Eeth Feth has accepted the position of chairman of the speech department's division of science-hearing: sciences and disorders.
Feth, an associate professor in the department of audiology and speech sciences at Purdue University, will teach courses for the chairman, Marston replaced Jim Lingwall, who left the speech department in January 1881, to become director of standards and research in the Speech and Hearing Association.
Feth, who will start July 1, said he planned to help build the research program.
"The department down there has been very enthusiastic. There seems to be a strong emphasis on research recruiting graduate students," he said.
FETH, WHO received his Ph.D.
from the University of Pittsburgh in 1969, brings to the department a career's worth of research.
Feth said that by comparing people with impaired hearing to people with normal hearing, he had tried to determine how normal ears process and encode sound and how impaired ear falls to do so properly.
Through his noise exposure research, Feth said he had discovered that after five minutes of exposure to loud sounds, a subject's ability to tune in on one sound among competing sounds, declined.
Feth said that his continued research in these areas would be bolstered by the KU speech department's new laboratory which can create a variety of sounds, including synthetic speech.
The Big Eight conference meetings in Kansas City, Mo., on Thursday, Friday and Saturday covered general business items, but also included decisions on eligibility and discussions of the possibility of stadium lights—both important items to the University of Kansas.

Big Eight grants Bell eligibility
Staff Reporter
Bell suffered a knee injury Sept. 26,
during the KU-Kentucky game and was
unable to play for the rest of the season.
He was out for October and was in
a cast until December.
Sophomore KU tailback Kerwin Will will be eligible to play next football season because of a waiver on an NCAA continuing eligibility rule, according to Del Brinkman, NCAA and faculty representative to the meeting.
THE DECISION, a routine one made by Carl James, Big Eight commissioner.
Bell enroll in and pass 12 academic hours this semester.
Another of the decisions made at the meetings will affect track participants by allowing track team members to participate in a role with eligibility in five years, Brinnan said.
This would be an advantage to players who were hurt or red-shirted and unable to play for a year.
NCAA rules allow players in other sports to compete够优秀 in a fifth year, and the conference decision will essentially make Big Eight rules equivalent to NCAA rules, according to recently named KU athletic director.
Lessig said that another item discussed at the meetings was the possibility of providing lights for big Eight stadiums.
LESSIG SAID the Big Eight was discussing the capability of using portable lighting systems that would be used in the conference schools at each of the conference schools.
The NCAA recently signed a contract
with WTBS, Ted Turner's Atlanta superstation, to broadcast games. CBS and ABC also have signed contracts to manage theuberader games for the 1982 football season.
Several people have been concerned that football games beginning in the late afternoon may need more light if they are to be televised.
Brinkman said there had not been any discussion among administrators at the University, although Brinkman, football coach Don Fambrough and others have responded to questions in the press.
Lessig said that he had gotten a company brochure from the meetings

that contained more information about the lights, but that he had given the brochure to Del Shankel, acting athletic director, to bring back to KU. Shankel was out of town this weekend and unavailable for comment.
Lessig said the final amounts of revenue from bowl games and television contracts in the Big Eight were tabulated in time for the meeting.
A percentage of the money earned from bowl games and TV contracts is paid to the participants, and the rest is then divided among other conference

WORKFARE: JUST ANOTHER GOVERNMENTAL IMPOSITION
Someone on the very fine editorial staff of the Kansas City Times recently discussed a concept known as workfare which would require government-decrement work of that admittedly small percentage of welfare recipients able to perform. While admitting that "Society can choose ... to help those who ... cannot be self-sufficient," this piece claims that said choice is "a matter of charity, not right," and attempts to bolster this thesis by noting that the criteria for public assistance have "changed substantially over the decades." This editorial effort also assures us, perhaps just a shade paternally, that "If the jobs are more busy work, as they must be, clients can benefit from a sense of accomplishment as well as by picking up a few good work habits."
While public assistance to the dependent appears to be "a matter of charity," it is really the primary corollary function of a democratic government which regards each individual as, in the words of the Declaration of Independence, "equal" and therefore "endowed with certain inalienable rights." These fluctuating eligibility requirements for public assistance serve to establish not the charitability but the imperviousness of the governmental behmetho. Both the editorialist and the proponents of workfare those eligible for workfare as lacking in a sense of accountability have been criticized for their omissions of workfare choose to ignore our government's corrupt definition of free enterprise which is the actual cause of unemployment, poverty, and our society's decline.
We are rulen, in large part, by a lifesecure bureaucracy which shamelessly uses public funds to support activities and entities in the private sector, e.g. the construction of at least some shopping malls, the dishonest use of tax-free industrial-development revenue bonds which, although designed for use in economically depressed areas, have been used by successful organizations such as K-Mart and McDonald's to finance profit-making ventures elsewhere, loans to Chrysler and other floundering corporations; while only superficially meeting its commitments in the public sector, e.g. a public education system which often fails to transmit information, an understaffed law enforcement apparatus unable to keep order, and a staggering judiciary seemingly unwilling to punish disorder.
If there is work, as the editorist and the proponents of workfare claim, which is more than "busy work" left undone by both the private and public sectors, this is a shortcoming of our economy's modus operandi. One democratic resolution of capitalism's indispensable failure to provide full employment would involve limiting the use of public funds to, and guaranteeing each willing individual a job in, undertakings in the public sector. Workfare, however, is just one more ham-handed attempt by the Reagan Administration to turn back the clock and penalize the relatively helpless.
