An analogue digital interface computer was given to SCoRMEEE, the council of black engineers, Wednesday by the McDonnell Douglas Corporation.
SciOMBE, then donated the computer Engineering and the University of Kassan.
The computer was obtained by SCoRMEB to create a greater capability to provide meaningful instruction for all students within the School of Engineering.
William E. Hogan II, associate dean of the School of Engineering, said Wednesday that he is confident his visual screen equations that were processed in a computer program. The computer presents a more direct learning experience than conventional printout materials that convert printed-out prints, he said.
He said it would be used in analogue and simulation courses for engineering seniors and graduate students, for research and in undergraduate courses to teach
Luther G. Bellinger, Corporate Director of the Equal Opportunity Program at McDonnell Douglas, gave the presentation. Bellinger will be heard the computer
Bellinger said he hoped the computer
would be used by the entire University and not just ScorMREB.
"We believe that the strength of the nation depends on the quality education of its youth," Bellinger said. "We are convinced one is KU's major goals.
The donation of the computer was made
through the McDonnell Douglas Afr-
formation Center.
"Our company tries to help schools become and remain competitive with other institutions in the country. It is important that we find a place in the complex industrial society."
"One objective of the program is to provide aid in order to produce quality engineers of both minorities and non-minorities," he said.
He said that most equipment donated through his equal opportunity program went predominately to minority schools. He McDennell Douglas donates to all schools.
Ten other colleges competed with KU to get the computer.
"Our determinant was which school would put the computer at the best use," he
Tours, films featured
Films and guided tours will highlight Open House Day this spring and give visitors attending the KU Relays a chance to become familiar with the campus.
Open House Day, sponsored by the All-
House Committee, is scheduled for April 20.
At a committee meeting Monday mor-
ronally, the Julian committee coordi-
nated outlined plans.
According to Julian, visitors attending the relays will be given a large campus map with some of the history and traditions of the University described on the back.
Visitors may then tour the campus on their own or a take a guided tour if they so choose.
Julian said those choosing to take the guided tour would ride on a bus that was at various campus buildings. Visitors also could tour the buildings.
Most of the main halls, the museums, the libraries and the campanile will be open to the public.
Another feature of the open house will be a film showing the highlights of the 1975 KU Relays, Ross Copeland, associate director of the Bureau of Child Research, offered to donate six cameramen from the bureau to shoot films of the relays.
According to Julian, the athletic department has offered to pay half the cost of the
Another film, intended to spur the interest of prospective KU students, is also scheduled, according to Marcia Hill, assistant committee coordinator.
Hill said that several high school counselors would be asked to estimate the number of students from their schools who planned to attend the relays.
Finding places for these high school students to stay is often a problem, according to HINC and said that the two programs guidance counselors so that places for them to stay could be located in fraternities, sororites, residence halls and private
For very young visitors, cartoons will be shown on the Union.
Julian said that 75,000 inserts describing the relays weekend and Open House Day had been printed. They will be distributed by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce and sent out in the March statements of several area banks.
Frank Reiber, associate professor of design, said his graphics classes were designing logotypes to be put on ads, posters and one page of the basketball programs.
Julian said that the student whose design was chosen as the best would receive a $50 first prize. Cash prizes also will be given to second and third place winners.
Julian suggested the installation of a system of waterproof building and tour signs. Several committee members said they had never seen it, but that didn't have signs outside the buildings.
Hill said that if the department of buildings and grounds wasn't able to absorb the cost of the signs, a possible alternative be to have the Girl Scouts make them.

Davis, who had been a member of the commission since its creation last May, was one of three persons replaced Tuesday by Bennett.
Mike Davis, University general counsel, is no longer a member of the state's Government Ethics Commission. Gov. Bennett has decided not to reappoint him.

Davis said only three of the eleven persons on the commission were appointed by the governor. The state's chief justice, the president of the Senate and the speaker of the House, passed a resolution to the minority leaders in the House and Senate each appointed one person, he said.
Bennett replaces 3 on commission
He was disappointed that he didn't get to serve another term, Davis said, and the governor had the power to appoint new members.
Brennett said then that although the three persons he had replaced had done an excellent job, he wanted to name his own team as they would represent authority on the commission.
the eight other members reappointed last week, are for two-year terms.
primarily, the commission administers the law regulating campaign financing and the law relating to conflict of interest, which regulates regulation of *lobbying*. Davis said.
Although the commission has recently been criticized, Davis said, he didn't think the changes were politically motivated. He said that he just wanted to install his own people.
The new appointments, as well as those of
The three persons removed from the commission were all appointees of former presidents.
Davis said much of the controversy had resulted from misperceptions and the need to be careful.
Davis cited an instance in which several lobbyists resigned from positions because of an alleged interpretation of the laws by the commission.
It was rumored the commission had ruled that lobbyists couldn't sit on advisory boards, he said, and several lobbyists were either not violate this interpretation.
The commission never made that interpretation," Davis said. "Things just got misinterrupted."

Criticism erupted again after the commission's recent decision that lawyers, psychiatrists, salesmen and others with clients would have to report all fees over $1,000 collected in the preceding calendar year. Davis said.
"The commission struggled for over two hours trying to interpret the statute another way, but they finally gave up and accepted the statute on its face," he said.
clarify certain points.
Some state legislators have said the commission in making some rulings has made too much sense.
"I don't think the criticisms amount to anything other than people learning, to their dismay, what a tight law they've written," he said.
Davis said the commission had already suggested changes to the legislature to
The commission is presently empowered to issue advisory opinions, issue rules and regulations interpreting the laws and inquiries to complain of violations of political correctness.
J. B. Littlejohn, a Topek businessman; Mrs. Nancy Kassabeau, daughter of former Gov. AIM Landon; and former State Senator Bennett, served by Bennett to serve on the commission.
The commission has been active only eight months, but already a bill has been introduced to abolish the commission, create a new commission with limited powers and alter the laws the commission was established to enforce.
Although the commission has only issued advisory opinions so far, Davis said, it is in the process of auditing the campaign finance reports from the last election.
