Educational films provided by visual aids bureau
By Marla Babcock
Kansan Staff Writer
Furnishing instructional films to KU classes is only one service of the Bureau of Visual Instruction, a part of the KU Extension Division.
The bureau also provides educational films to public schools, service organizations, churches and civic clubs throughout Kansas, Mrs. Paul B. Lawson, manager of the bureau, said.
the bureau, officially begun in 1923, has expanded and changed its services through the years, Mrs. Lawson said.
It originally included radiotelevision-film operations, which are now in the School of Journalism and the department of speech and drama.
The KU photographic services, now independently-run, originated in the bureau.
"The Bureau of Visual Instruction now has two areas of operation," Mrs. Lawson said. These include the film rental library and the campus audio-visual service.
SUA Carnival features skits booths, crowning
Twenty-four living groups are devising skits and booths on the international theme "Carousel of Countries" or "As the World Turns On" for the annual SUA Carnival Saturday.
"The theme is purposely general," Fred Meier, St. Louis junior and carnival chairman said. Highlighting the carnival from 7 to 10 p.m. in the Kansas Union will be the announcement of booth and skit winners and the presentation of the SUA Carnival Queen.
Tickets, on sale this week for 75 cents at the information booth and the SUA office in the Kansas Union, will be $1 at the door Saturday night, Meier said. "Booths will be set up in the ballroom and Jayhawk Room while skits will be scattered throughout the union," he said.
Those living groups presenting Carnival skirts are: Watkins Hall,
"It's a Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad World" or "Sin is In"; Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity, "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly"; Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, "George's First Try Through the Jungle"; Phi Kappa Epsilon fraternity, "Screwing Around Foreign Affairs" or "How to Work Abroad;" Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, "Stop the World, I Want to Get On . . . or . . . Come on Baby Light My Fire;", Gamma Phi Beta, "Gullables Travels" or "The Fool from the Hill."

The film rental library serves the entire United States. "In the last five years," Mrs. Lawson said, "we have sent films to every state except Alaska and Delaware."

The film library, housing about 32,000 titles, is located in Bailey Hall basement.
Mrs. Lawson said there are presently about 8,000 prints of films available. A print, she explained, is a copy of an entire movie. The library has from 1 to 20 prints of each title.
Depending on the length of the film and whether it is color or black and white, film rental ranges from no charge to $20.
Mrs. Lawson said damage to films is common, especially at the beginning of the school year. Many teachers forget how to operate projection equipment during the summer, she said. Sometimes such equipment is in bad repair.
The bureau is constantly sending reminders on projector use and proper repair to film users, she said.
To insure top-quality films, the bureau employs 15 to 20 students to inspect and repair each returned film. She said these students are specially trained in film repair by the bureau staff.
reels, she said.
Mrs. Lawson said total annual shipments from the film library average about 12,500. This represents between 25,000 and 30,000
Probably more familiar to KU students, are the bureau's student employees who transport audiovisual equipment to classrooms.
Mrs. Lawson said the campus service provides equipment to classes in all University schools
and departments.
Most films are shown in the projection room in Bailey Hall. Since the projection room is in full-time use most days, some films are moved to classrooms, Mrs. Lawson said.
The services are not limited to
films, however. Record players, tape recorders, microphones, cameras and video-tape facilities are also available.
Video-taping is used primarily for self-evaluation of student teachers, Mrs. Lawson said. It is in its second year of operation.
It's not often an engineer gets to design a company.
When he does, he tends to take care of his own kind.
He designs a company that is one heck of a good place for an engineer to work.
You can tell LTV Aerospace Corporation is an engineering oriented company.
The ratio of engineers to everybody else is exceptionally high.
The Robert McCulloch research laboratory is the newest and one of the finest big labs in the country.
The computer support is tremendous.
The engineer who wants to be a technical specialist here can do as well as the engineer who gets into administration.
The engineer who wants to keep working on an advanced degree can do it right here.
And the projects; they range from deep space to the ocean floor — military and commercial aircraft, V/STOL; launch vehicles; extra vehicular activity research and development; high mobility ground vehicles; missile systems; computer, technical and management services.
No question about it: the engineers at LTV Aerospace are taking care of themselves.
An LTV Aerospace representative will tell you how to get in on it.
