Language taught with space technology
By Gary Duda Of the Kansan staff
Signals beamed from satellites will be used by students learning foreign languages at the University beginning this semester.
In May, the language laboratory, 4069 Wescoe, received a satellite dish that they had been trying to get for more than $2\%$ years.
Ermal Garinger, director of the language laboratory, said that he was excited about the new dish and that it opened a whole new method of
teaching for the University's language departments.
"A lot of universities have systems like these," he said, "but this is new to us in the language laboratory."
The dish, which cost more than $3,800, sits atop the south side of Wescoe. Garinger said that by electronically moving the dish from right to left, it could receive transmissions from a string of 26 satellites orbiting the equator.
"There are up to 24 channels on each satellite, with a potential of up
to 500 different stations," he said.
While the satellite dish was experimented with this summer, Garinger said this fall would be the first time students would use the dish. Programs will not be seen live but will be taped for later use and stored in the language laboratory library.
Students won't be limited to classroom use of the system. Garinger said that a student could come into the lab on his own after arrangements had been made with his teacher.
"We have to have the teaching potential," he said. "We now have one station of full-time French coming out of Canada and two complete stations coming out of Latin America."
Garinger said that students won't be able to watch just anything.
"Right now there is a possibility of
Besides the immediate use of the system by the foreign language departments, Garinger said the system could possibly be used in other areas of the campus.
working with the meteorology people to provide them with current weather data." he said.
Garinger said that KU now had four satellite dishes. The other satellites are for KANU, the School of Engineering and the Kansas University Endowment Association.
Garinger said although there were many things the dish could do, it could do only one of them at a time.
"The problem is when you use one on a satellite you can only get one station."

Stephan OKs tavern-dance halls
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Taverns may segregate beer drinkers from dancers with partitions and retain their licenses to sell beer, according to Attorney General Robert T. Stephan.
In a legal opinion issued to Rod Ludwig, Mitchell County attorney, Stephan said tavern owners may use partitions to separate drinkers from dancers as long as management ensured that those under age 19 did not consume, purchase or possess beer in or around the premises.
"A failure to do so may result in revocation of the owner's license."
Stephan warned in the non-binding opinion.
Ludwig told Stephan in a letter that a tavern owner in the north-central Kansas county wanted his operating license changed to cover only the south side of his building.
"If the county commission determines that the dance facility and tavern are two distinct places of business, a license for only the tavern portion of the building may be issued." Stephan said.
The tavern owner planned to convert the north side to a dance hall and allow individuals of all ages to attend the dances. However, those too young to buy beer would have their hands stamped to prevent the illegal sale or consumption of beer.
Currently, beer is sold in the entire building.
"As opposed to laws regulating private clubs, nothing in the cereal malt beverage statutes precludes persons of legal age from bringing beer into the dance portion of the building, as long as the purchase was completed in the tavern." Stephan said.
There was another concern about beer's being brought into the dance hall by adults.
