upper-division courses for students interested in obtaining masters degrees, he said.
Gary Thompson, assistant registrar, said that degrees in business administration, social welfare, chemical engineering, education, urban planning and computer science were available through off-campus programs.
Most of KU's off-campus courses are taught at the Regents Center, Hutchison said, but there are also specialty courses taught in Topeka and Wichita.
He said courses also were taught at Leavenworth Penitentiary and at the Command and General Staff College at Ft. Leavenworth.
The courses available are wide-ranging.
Hutchison said, from architecture to engineering, social welfare to education.
Besides duplication of courses, the report examined facilities for off-campus students and staff.
Hutchison said that KU was aware of the needs of the off-campus students and was trying to satisfy those needs by building a library at the Regeens Center.
The report also was concerned with insuring the quality of education off-campus as was good.
All faculty members who teach off-campus courses also teach at the Lawrence campus, he
He said that the library was in the planning stages and that a proposal would be ready early next month.
Conflict

THE SOVET UNION. Iraq's major supplier of arms, said it would remain neutral in the conflict and urged both sides to show "restraint and common sense." But a commentary in the Communist Party daily newspaper, Pravda, took a swipe at the United States.
"Imperialism . . . is doing its utmost to regain its positions in the Persian Gulf. It is not by chance that the U.S.A. is stepping up military preparations in the area." Pravda said.
departments in the area. Flavio said.
In Tehran, the Iranian Parliament, which on
Tuesday said it was freezing its debate on the 52 American hostages for the duration of the crisis, met in secret session to hear the latest battle recoats.
President Abolassan Bani-Sadr also met with the Libyan and Syrian ambassadors, creating speculation that Iran, hampered by a Western arms boycott, would seek their military help.
Syria and Libya recently announced a merger which diplomats at the time took to be directed against Iraq. Syria's arch-rival for leadership in the Arab world.
New pipe organ lends chapel musical appeal
By REBECCA CHANEY Staff Reporter
Complementing the traditional atmosphere and rich woodwork of Danforth Chapel, an oak pipe organ is filling the tiny chapel on Lilac Lake with baroque music.
The organ was installed last last spring, replacing a small, obsolete, electric Hammer.
FUNDS FOR THE organ were donated two years ago by Arthur R. and Eileen Burkhardt Malty, Lee's Summit, Mo., to the KU Endowment Association. The unrestricted gift of $10,000 was the largest contribution ever made to the university's annual General University Fund malting.
Modeled after early barque instruments, the new organ was called a "terrific investment" for the University by Robert J. Pipe and for Reuter Pipe Organ Company of Lawrence.
The Maltyby gift was designated for the organ in 1979.
"This organ will probably last in excess of
three hours," she said. "The only thatps
that can wear out is the blower's."
The blower is the only electrical part of the organ. Its function is to supply air to the pipe.
Vaughan designed the organ and Reuter custom-built it for the chapel for $10,000.
THE ORGAN IS operated by "tracker action," which means the sound is manually and mechanically controlled by the organist rather than by electrical means.
"Organists like the feel of opening pipes directly," explained Vaughan, "just like race car drivers like the power of rack-and-pinion systems in the feel steering where they can't feel the road.
"There is more opportunity for nuances of expression in the attack and release of
Vaughan said there was historical significance in the construction of the instrument. The colors of the keys, unlike modern pianos, are reversed like those of a harpschorst in the European tradition, with white keys on black and red keys in wood. The organ box and pipes are enclosed in a case similar to a bandshell to direct the sound.
The organ has only two sets of pipes, each of which yields a different quality of sound. Thus, for 56 keys there are a total of 112 pipes and the set may be used singly or blended together.
By comparison, the organ in Swarthout Recital Hall has 72 sets of pipes.
Car dealer to fight city complaint
A Lawrence automobile dealer says he will fight a city complaint filed against him in Municipal Court for failing to remove an extra sign. The complaint was filed Wednesday.
In January, commissioners denied a variance request from Hopkins and ordered him to
Bob Hopkins, owner of Bob Hopkins Volkswagen, 2522 Iowa, said the city ordinance limiting the size and number of outdoor signs was unconstitutional.
"I feel that the sign ordinance is arbitrary," Hopkins said. "It does not really accomplish that much from an esthetic standpoint."
Tuesday night, Hopkins asked for city approval of a site plan for a Subaru dealership next to his business. Commissioner Barkley Clark and other commissioners said they considered voting against the site plan because Hopkins had been charged with the sign ordinance, which was passed in 1975.
"I think it was extremely manic to use the insults, partly to try to tie it with the mission," Hope said.
Hopkins is the first person to be taken to court over the sign ordinance.
The case will be heard in Municipal Court on Oct. 9.
