Stocks jump ahead
NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market roared ahead Monday in a binge of buying that produced the heaviest activity in New York Stock Exchange.
Brokers gave a large part of the credit to falling interest rates and a public welcome on Wall Street to a federal appeals court's ruling in favor of International Business Machines Corporation in an antitrust case.
The Daw Jones average of 30 industries jumped 28.65 to 692.66 for its largest gain since it took a 3.28 point leap last Oct. 9, and its eighth largest gain since it took a 1.74 point leap last Oct. 9.
Big Board volume hit 32.13 million shares, shattering the old record of 31.73 million set Aug. 16, 1971.
IRS unit criticized
PHILADELPHIA (AP)—A top secret Internal Revenue Service investigative unit that collected personal information on thousands of U.S. citizens has been ordered to disband immediately and destroy its confidential files, the Philadelphia Bulletin reported Monday.
The Bulletin said the order to wipe out the unit came last weekend "as top government officials began to fear that the current probes into illegal domestic activities of the Central Intelligence Agency might soon reach the IRS and IGR."
KBI files checked
TOPEKA (AP)—Retired Kansas Supreme Court Justice William J. Wortch of Wichita and Chief Atty. Atte. Gen. Donald R. Hoffman Monday began going through some 250 files kept by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation on private citizens and public officials without arrest records. Schneider appointed Wertz and Hoffman last Friday to search the files and whether they have value or were maintained more as a "possessor" list.

Exemptions . . .
RON HAMILTON, UNIVERSITY CONTROTLER, said the University had estimated that the first-year cost for implementing the plan would be $121,441, with yearly costs after that estimated to be $69.441.
These estimates, however, were made without including the costs for sending out additional forms at each pay period, which would show the amount of sick time and leave each employee had used during that period, he said.
"This is an impractical plan for the University," Hamilton said. "We would have to send out 6,000 books of paper to tally this information and then record it all. This is a tremendous administrative task that requires us as it is now, without this added trouble."
He also said that administration studies showed that faculty members preferred to be paid monthly rather than biweekly and that they would not reason why the plan shouldn't include them.
Hamilton said his office had computed the previous estimates in which these leave forms would have been included only every month. He said this method could provide the same accuracy without the headaches of the new plan.
JAMES SEAVER, CHRIARMAN of SenEx,
said the presidents of the University senex
"The plan is a nuisance and a waste of money," Seaver said. "Faculty members feel that they can plan a month ahead with no problems."
had recommended that faculty members be exempt from the plan to avoid the added taxes.

Seaver said that faculty response to the plan had been negative and that extreme problems might arise if strict accounting was required.

McCollum splurges with surcharge
By SHANNON GREENE Kansan Staff Reporter
Last fall, the McCollum Senate unanimously passed a resolution repealing the 1973 proposal for a communications ball
"Students said they wanted the money spent on better food, improved photo equipment in the darkroom, more typewriters and calculators." he said.
Joe Fishbein, McColm Hall president,
said Sunday that after the resolution,
McColm students ran a survey to
determine how the funds should be used.
"thirty of the 50 dollars have gone to an increase in steak nights, more sundaes, more salad bars and larger hamburgers." Fishbain said. "We had these things about once or twice a month before, but now we have them about three times a month."
The money from the surcharge then was divided into three categories.
Jim Tren, Columbia, Mo., junior, said the food was now better.
"I don't know whether they implemented the money correctly. The 50 dollars seemed a little bit expensive and extravagant. I think most of the people on my floor would want the money back. But I'd rather have the food."
Sima Kordestani, Tehr an, Iran, junior,
said the food was good so far.
"The food was my biggest grenice." Tren said, and I saw his expression on though. They never told us.
"I don't know whether it will last, though," she said. "I would pay the 50 dollars again next year if they guaranteed good food for the whole year."
"The yoyurt is better, and there are more steaks, shrimp, ice cream bars and salad bars." Miller said. "I would like to see them spend the money on something more permanent, though. I would like for them to put a TV in the lounge on each floor."
Sue Miller, Hutchinson Junior, also said the food was better.
Of the remaining 20 dollars of each sur-
vival grant, the university requires for McCollim student. Fishbain said this study will not be published.
That is most beneficial for graduate and
student teaching. The program is also
pretty far away to go home during school

Handicapped.
However, one big problem remains. About $20,000 was spent on equipment for the communications hall. That equipment is now in storage because no one wants to use it.

Regardless of whether the lamp is on or off, he said, whenever the telephone rings the small box will turn the lamp either on or off.
breaks, he said. Prices were lowered by two dollars a day for McColm residents.
The final 12 dollars went into a special improvement fund, Fishbein said. It has been used to purchase a new pool table, a weight lifting machine and five typewriters. A new sauna also may be purchased, he said.
"What we're trying to do is to complete the project, meet the cost criteria as close as we can and then make it available to the deaf community," he said.
RUPF SAID THE IDEA of a telephone indicator wasn't original. He said he believed Bell telephone already sold similar devices.
Rufp, who got his masters degree at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the area of sensory aid for the blind, said he would finish his project within the next year.
Phil Frickey, president of the Association of University Residence Halls (AURH), said the idea of a communications hall was eliminated because the people who were originally in favor of the idea had left. The new people just didn't want it, Frickey said,
The indicator would just be an additional aid for the handicapped, he said. It would be helpful in some situations, he said, but it wouldn't change his behavior. "I have no intention of pursuing this thing."
Some of the 15 dollars also goes toward rental of computer room equipment, which is required by law for all students.
I 'have no intention of pursuing this thing financially or even promotally', he said.
"We've had the system operating but not with our current practices, so it's a considerable practical design work to do."
The equipment includes a portable black-and-white video-tape camera, a stationary black-and-white camera and a color camera and monitor.
J. J. Wilson, director of housing, said he students needed a communication hub.
Rupf said the project had encountered various problems. First, it has never been a high priority project at the University, he said.
"It would have been a good service to the students," Wilson said. "The use of audiovisual equipment is a proven method of instruction and communication.
Also, the low cost of production initially set has proved difficult to meet, he said.
"initially, we set the component cost at $10 for the device, but it seems it's almost impossible to build this device. We build this device for a component cost of $30 then there would be no problem."
FINALLY, HE SAID, since the project is only being funded by the department of electrical engineering, students have discovered that it is better to buy the components themselves than use the official channels to order the parts involved in the project.
Even though electronics has developed some modern techniques in assisting the deaf and the blind, he said, it will be a long process to enable computers to replace a major sensory system.
Students are entirely involved in the work he's doing, Rupf said, and those students enrolled in the practical projects course are now in charge of the device.
"If the project is finished it will be an entirely KU student project." he said.
"There are experiments in which people have implanted electrodes into the visual cortex of blind people and that would produce visual images," he said.
