Med Center, KU share classroom
Besides the more conventional means of communication between the Lawrence campus and the KU Medical Center in Kansas City, like the six cent stamp or Alexander Graham Bell's fantastic invention, the campuses are connected by closed circuit television.
Located in Bailey Hall, the TV room is used for fifteen class periods weekly. Some are classes and others are faculty conferences. It is also used to transmit special conferences and short term classes to the Medical Center.
Although classes may be transmitted from either Lawrence or

Kansas City, most classes originate in Lawrence.
One of the teachers who has both Lawrence and Kansas City students, Norman Yetman of the sociology department, admitted to feeling hammy in front of the camera. But he also said that TV classes were effective only for lectures.
He said it was difficult to talk freely with the TV student.
Nancy Winkler, Kansas City, said, "I feel self conscious when I walk in the door. It's easier to watch him on TV."

Marsha McClain, a nursing student at the Med Center, told her feelings on the TV classroom via camera, "I feel inhibited."
Lee Cramer, also a nursing student, said, "It's not as free a communication as in a real classroom situation."
Everyone seems to concur that while the TV classroom is valuable and interesting it does not substitute for a real classroom or a real teacher.
Steve Parker, Rochester, N.Y., junior, has a place to live until Oct. 20, when he will move out of his West Hills apartment.
Beards can stay 3 weeks, no rent
Parker was previously threatened with eviction from his apartment effective today, if he did not shave his beard.
The eviction notice was issued by Wilbur Almquist, manager of the apartment, who called bearded students a "threat to the security of female tenants at West Hills."
Parker spoke with Alquist last night about moving.
"We told him we were going to move out about Oct. 20, and asked him if we could pay by the day until then. He told us that he already has a new tenant and that we didn't have to pay," Parker said.
"Wilbur was very nice about the whole thing. He apologized for inconveniences and offered to loan us a truck to move with. He also said he would make a settlement on our expenses, like getting the phone - disconnected." Parker said.
Parker said that he and his roommate, Boss Messman, Wichita senior, plan to move into a duplex apartment located on New Jersey street.
"We are really pleased with our new landlord. He's very open-minded, which is quite a far cry from Wilbur," Parker said.
Parker said both he and Messman urged Almquist last night to make it clear to tenants from the beginning that beards aren't allowed, at West Hills.
"If it were in the rules at West Hills," Parker said, "this situation would never have happened. If the management is going to ask people to leave because of beards then it should be in the rules."
Messman said he plans to speak with stockholders from Vickers Oil Co. about having such a rule clearly stated in print.
"If students just stand up for their rights they can accomplish things. I can't understand why there is no agency on campus to protect students from situations like this," Parker said.
"Some people only listen to power or money. We feel if we
hadn't had the power of the UDK press, we couldn't have accomplished as much as we did," said Parker.
Union rents prints Monday
Drab walls and dreary rooms may be brightened Monday by renting framed prints of fine paintings from the Student Union Activities (SUA) Picture Lending Library.
The prints are on display this week in the Kansas Union south lounge for 50 cents per semester.
"Any student, faculty, or staff member is eligible to rent two pictures per semester," said James Congdon, Wilmette, Ill. junior and chairman of the Lending Library. The prints range from Rembrandt to J. Miro. "There are lots of impressionists, surrealists and some Picasso," Congdon said.
The Lending Library was started in 1958 by SUA and most of the prints were donations.
