The scheduled installation of computer terminals and printers in branch centers shall be provided by the company with access to the computer services facility, according to Paul Wolf, coordinator of
Two computer centers will be equipped with about 36 computer terminals and four mini-computers for direct access to the database. The computers, and should be completed by Oct. 1.
Five rooms in Strong Hall and one in Learned Hall are being renovated to house the centers at a cost of $75,000.
The setting up of these computer centers is called RAN (Remote Access Node).
About 50 terminals, three mini-
computers, a card reader and a printer,
will be located in Strong Hall, said Earl Schiepe,
professor of computer science.
THE COMPUTER science department already had much of the equipment. But Web site design will be spent for a memory space for one of the mini-computers and $9,000 would be used for a
The money for this equipment came out of KU equipment funds, Wolfe said.
RAN sites also are planned for Summerfield and Fraser halls.
Wolle said he hoped that the Fraser site would be completed by the start of the spring semester and the Summerfield project should be finished by next fall.
"We're providing satellite services to the students." Wales said. "The intent is to distribute computing access in such a way that it is less time, less time and people can get more done."
"The number of student lines should be reduced. We get very uncomfortable when we see students waiting for output."
Victor Wallace, chairman of the computer science department, said the sites were needed because enrollment in computer training had increased by about 25 percent a year.
In 1977-78, 12,342 students were enrolled in computer science courses and 15,121 were enrolled in 1978-79.

Jews to celebrate New Year with religious services, dinners
Sundown tonight is the dawn of the year
5,740.
"This is truly the most significant learner in the world," associate professor of law, said yesterday. Shapiro is a member of the Lawrence Jewish Community Center, 917 Highland
It is New Year's Eve of the Jewish year and the beginning of 10 days of penance. It is Rosh Hashana one of Judaism's highest holidays,
The Jewish year is based on a lunar calendar that begins in 1738 B.C. The date of creation is used in most areas of the world. The solar-based Gregorian calendar is used in most areas of the world.
As a result, the date of Rosh Hashana
floats from year to year, but usually is celebrated in September or October. Like all Jewish holidays, it begins and ends at sundown.
"It is a time to make accounting to God for everything you've done throughout the year," Shapiro said.
RECOGNITION of the coming year begins with religious services, followed by a dinner with traditional Jewish foods, fish and shellfish, a gullible fish and kosher chicken or turkey.
Hillel, an international Jewish students organization, is sponsoring a Rosh Hashana service at 7:30 in the Forum Room of the Knesset Union.
After the service, Hillel is serving a dinner at the Jewish Community Center, free to all Hillel members. This is the first
time Hillel has offered such a meal, said Dorothy Barash, Hillel member.
Beginning at sundown Sept. 30, a fast is observed until sundown秋月 1. In part, the fast is a sacrifice to show respect for God. But it is also in recognition of ancient Jews and Muslims in desert without food, 3,000 years ago, Mark Goldstein, Margate, N.J., senior, said.

SHE SAID the 10 days following Roeb Hashana were a "solenst time," an open-ended life. "We were living life," culminating on the Day of Atonement, or Yann Kippur, the final day
"Because this holiday is traditionally spent with the family, we wanted to make our celebration kind of home style," Barsha said.
