KU officials awaiting affirmative action's fate
By KATHY BRUSSELL
Staff Reporter
KU officials are not worried about the future of the University's affirmative action program, despite a plan to abolish such programs proposed by a future U.S. Senate committee chairman.
Mike Edwards, director of KU's office of affirmative action, said this week that he was not sure how much significance to attach to a statement made recently by Sen. Orin G. Hatch,
Hatch, who is scheduled to become the next chairman of the Senate Labor Committee, said last week that he would push for a constitutional
won't know the effects on his own program, he said.
Bob Filmore, associate general counsel for the University, said he saw no reason for concern.
"I personally have seen or heard nothing to indicate that President-elect Reagan would not be committed to affirmative action at either the federal or state level," he said.
The constitutional amendment proposed by Hatch would have to be ratified by the states, and the influence of the Reagan administration would enough to get the amendment passed, he said.

tech talk:
Ceramic pass band filter
explained.
A ceramic pass band filter is one of those bits of electronic wizardry that most people aren't aware of, unless it fails to do its job.
if a ceramic filter is functioning, as it is in the superb MCS Series 45-watt system, you get clean, crisp, virtually interference free station separation.
Usually interference free systems If it's not included as in the case of less sophisticated systems you could get interference, overlapping stations and stations that fade in and out.
How a ceramic filter works is even more complicated than what it does. The ceramic crystal is tuned to vibrate at an extremely high rate of speed, 10.7 megahertz (107 million vibrations per second). When you tune in a station that station's frequency is automatically converted to 10.7 megahertz, allowing the filter to react to that station's signal and reject the others.
Back to that station's sign How well does the ceramic filter in the MCS Series 45-watt system perform? So well that an adjacent station would have to be thousands of times more powerful than the station to which you're tuned, to cause any interference at all.
interference at all.
But this kind of technology is par for the course in the 45-watt system. And so are features like a floating LED indicator to let you
know the strength of the signal being received,
and a digital frequency read out, that
shows you in big bright numbers exactly to which station
you're tuned.
And you get an amplifier that provides you with 45-watts of power, $0.05\%$ T.H.D., a loudness control switch that lets you enjoy full rich sound even at low volume levels and a dual power protection system to protect your speakers.
protect your speakers.
You also get a stereo cassette deck with metal tape capabilities, a Dolby** noise reduction system, fluorescent record meters, independent bias and equalization switches to match with normal, chrome and metal tape and much, much more.
