introductory foreign languages to calculus and financial accounting.
COURSE CAVALOGS ARE distributed throughout the state at other Regents schools, community colleges, high schools and public service organizations. Colyer said.
Tutrition for each class ranges from $96 to
$200, plus fees for book study guides and
workbooks.
Students have nine months to complete each course, but may finish as quickly as they want. If they need more time, they can get a three-month extension for a $15 fee.
Most independent study courses are written and taught by KU professors, Colyer said. Graduate teaching assistants often help grade correspondence assignments if a professor leaves the University or is busy with other projects, she said.
Robert Shelton, associate professor of religious studies and communication studies, teaches one of his classes both on carpus and through the independent study program.
BUT SHELTON SAID he preferred teaching his class, Religion 475, "Loving Relationships," in the regular classroom environment.
"The students taking the class by correspondence miss out on group discussions," he said. "With correspondence, all we can do is watch them and forth. There's no student interaction."
"Both classes cover the same topics and use the same study manual. But some students are extremely sloppy in their independent study work."
Jo Lutz, coordinator of student services for the program, said the first assignment was the most crucial for the independent study student.
"We try to get students going on the first lesson as soon as possible after enrollment," she said. "We send out letters six weeks after enrollment and six weeks before the scheduled completion date to monitor the student's performance."
MOST INDEPENDENT STUDY classes require a great deal of reading and writing of essays and term papers — more than most lecture classes. Lutz said.
"The major stumbling block is self-discipline," she said. "Some people are surprised at just how much time a correspondence class takes."
David Willer, professor of sociology, said he made few adjustments in a course he recently rewrote for independent study — Sociol. 1502, "Social Problems and Ameri-
there were very few adjustments in the curriculum in terms of what I expect the students to learn at home," said Will *r*, who has taught the class on campus or five years. "I just took the material appearing in lecture, bolted it down a bif and wrote it all
"THE COURSES ARE very similar. There no way you can hold a gun to a student's head in class and make him work. And there no way you can force an independent study student to do his assignments, either."
Milissa Stuffings, Gardner junior, lived at home last summer but took business 544, "Personnel Management," by correspondence. Stuffings said she took the class by independent study to pick up extra credit while living at home.
"Mostly, I wanted to work at my own pace." Stuffings said "And I didn't want to take the class at jucie because I didn't know whether it would transfer."
Stuffings said she received plenty of feedback on her assignments and completed them well.
"The only thing I was worried about was the final," she said. "It was the only test required in the course, and I wasn't sure what it would be like."
LUTZ SAD THE final exam was the acid test for independent study students because they can't pass the course unless they pass the final
conduct life-science experiments. The other crew members are Jon McBride, David Leestma and Paul Swift-Power, an Australian-born U.S. Navy oceanographer.
Shuttle continued from p. 1
Moore said the three KU experiments would be the last NASA experiments involving radar images until 1988.
He said all three experiments involved recording radar images with the help of an antenna mounted on the shuttle. That data were then digitized and readable readings taken by established methods.
IN ONE EXPERIMENT, the shuttle's radar system will beam signals at different angles at the Amazon rain forest in South America on each of six or seven passes over
Moore said changes in the recorded signal would show how the radar antenna responded to the space environment. The antenna's behavior in space could change from its behavior in ground tests, he said, because of the absence of gravity, the process of unfolding the antenna and heat factors.
The difference in temperature between
The Amazon basin is the largest flat area with consistent land features, Moore said. This allows collection of consistent data from any point within the area.
the sunlight and the shuttle's shadow is huge and it can cause bending," he said.
He said arrangements were pending with the Navy to have low-flying planes take radar readings over the rain forest at the same time the shuttle took readings.
MOORE AND VICTOR Frost, professor of electrical engineering, are in charge of the experiment.
Moore developed a second experiment with Willard Pierson of the City University of New York. Using radar, they will measure winds over islands of mid-Sea, mostly in the Caribbean Sea.
The leeward, or downwind, side of an island typically has an area of lessened winds (which are greater in the south).
Comparative data for the wind experiment will come from radar units on the ground and in the sky.

operations from West Beirut to the embassy annex was made on the basis of the best information available and all concerned agencies agreed this the wisest course of action," a statement said.
"As the Secretary of State George Shultz said, if there was negligence we would hold him accountable."
President Reagan has suggested part of the reason for the attack could be ascribed to a weakening of U.S. spy efforts in the years before he took office. He also compared the incomplete security arrangement for the annex with delays encountered in remodeling
the report demonstrated someone failed to heed intelligence warnings "and is guilty of a fatal error in judgment or an inexusable administrative oversight."
"The president must stop trying to sweep the major incident under the rug," the拷
Presidential spokesman Larry Speakes said there would be no immediate comment from the White House on the report.

While campaigning Tuesday in Texas, Reagan responded to sharp criticism of his assessments of culpability for the bombing by declaring he alone was "responsible, and no one else, for our policy and our people being there."

funding. Then Carla Vogel said she would veto the appropriations packet if GLSOK didn't get funding."
Imber said that he went to Vogel and told her he disagreed with her stand. Vogel sang back, "What a wolf!"
"I WENT TO talk to Carla and told her I thought she was blackmailing the student body," he said. "In effect, she told me that if I could help it, I could start my own petition. So I did

Vogel said last night that when she said she would veto the appropriations packet if it did not include funds for GLOSK, she was simply answering someone's question.
"IT WAS NOT my intention to blackmail anybody, "she said. "That was just a truthful answer. I felt very strongly about funding for GLSOK."
Iber said that he worked hard gathering enough signatures on the petition. But this week, the Supreme Court
"I got involved in this thing and lost control of it," he said. "I's crazy now, all of the real issues are incredibly clouded. It' been a whole mess with all of them. Committee, myself, the UDK and GLOSK."
Imber said that it was not his original intention to single out GLSOK in his petition.
"I apologize if it appears I've singled GLOSK out," he said. "I think it was singled out by others, not me. I think they are a valid reason for my funds going to support that body."
One solution, Imber said, would be for students to pick the groups they would like to join.
"When students enroll, all of the student groups should be listed, and students could check which groups they would like to support or something like that," he said.
