Computer card price punched up

The time may not be far off when a University of Kansas student will have to write home asking for money to buy, of all things, computer cards.
The cards have been sold since last week through vending machines for 35 cents a hundred at the computation center in Summerfield Hall.
Until last week, a student just grabbed as many cards as he needed from a bin that was too small to hold them.
But that practice led to waste, Paul Wolfe, computation center director, said Wednesday. It also depleted KU's supply of computers months before the end of the school year.
"The major effect is in the beginning computer science classes." Wolfe said.
He said most beginning students would be able to make it through a semester with two or three packets of cards if they were frunal.
"Essentially, we feel that those costs are supply costs that a student usually experiences in other classes," Wolfe said. "Up to this point, computer cards were convenient and, anything that is free isn't banded as carefully as anything that cost money."
Wolfe said the practice of selling cards was common at some universities.
Students said Wednesday at the computer center that they weren't upset with the teachers.
He said the program could, in the next two months, reduce the total amount of cards used by the University community by 15 to 20 per cent.
"It's pretty much understandable," said Delphy, like Davina. They were getting along very well. Cards ripened as cards ripened.
Joe Scharr, salina sophomore, said, "It's not big of a deal. I have two projects that are in the planning stage."
Another student who, like Scurr and Deliwig, is in the beginning computer class said, "it's frustrating, but there's nothing you can do about it."

She said there had been no announcement of the proposed selling of cards in computer stores.
Another student said she got her cards free through the department of physics.
The vending division of the concessions department of the Kansas Union is handling a large number of machines, Wolfe said. The cards are bought by the computation center from the state for about 17 cents a hundred. The computation center is hundred to the concessions department.
The five-cent difference is for the costs of separating and bundling the cards into one set.
The vending machines sell the packs of cards for 35 cents. The 13-cent markup, Wolfe said, is to pay the concessions that customers provide in the machines, collect sales receipts, remit proper sales tax, make refunds of money lost by customers of the machines, prepare records of all sales and provide sales figures periodically.

This placement of mildly handicapped children in regular classrooms instead of special education classrooms has come about as a result of three factors, according to Kaufman. They are: pressure from professional educators who ask for this placement for such reasons as removing the stigmatism associated with special class; recent court decisions concerning the right of the handicapped to placement in regular classrooms; and state governmental policies that affect the funding of special education classes.

Kautman defined mainstreaming as "the temporal, instructional and social integration of eligible exceptional children with a variety of individually determined educational planning and programming process." He said mainstreaming required a clarification of responsibility among regular and special education teachers, instructional and summertive personnel.

After Kaufman's address a panel of people involved in public schools and mainstream reacted to his remarks and spoke about their involvement. The adults stressed the need for training children in camaraderie to deal with handicapped children.
Gary Freeman, a Lawrence public
school principal and panelist, said KU could help the implementation of mainstreaming programs by preparing "non-categorical teachers"—teachers who could deal with all kinds of children.
The conference participants broke into group sessions during the afternoon.
