Foreign news available bv phone
Project Interface, a two-year-old foreign language news service, was created to add "apontanity" and "naturalness" to KU language programs, Ermal Garinger, director of the language laboratory, said yesterday.
By dialing a telephone number, the caller can listen to foreign news in Chinese, Russian, German, Portuguese, French or Spanish.
"We thought we were doing a pretty good job giving students a standardized, structured language program," Garner said. "It was canned on pork and beans—it's the most important aspect of spontaneity and naturalness because it was directly related to the textbook."
HE SAID THE language departments thought they owed graduate students in language, linguistic and international politic fields more.
"Many foreign students get hungry for news from home," he said, "and the watered down, slightly slanted American news doesn't fit the bill."
The American news doesn't cover events such as elections and social happenings that may be important to the foreign student, he said.
News programs are recorded directly from foreign shortwave broadcasts, such as Radio Moscow and Radio Peking and are programmed into six tape decks in the language laboratory, which are connected to the Bell Telephone System.
FOUR ANTENNAS on top of Wescott Hall receive the short wave beams from international stations. Three antennas are permanent, and the fourth rotates. The antennas rotate through Europe, the Orient, Latin America and Canada. The rotating antenna "fills the
Berman suggests debates
Arnold Berman, 2nd district Democratic candidate for state senator, offered yesterday to engage in a series of public meetings, his opponent, incumbent Ardn Wood.
Berman said that political debates shouldn't be restricted to presidential elections because the majority of the laws passed by Congress were passed by their state legislatures.
"I think the problem of deficit spending in state policy by the Republicans that is chewing up a surplus by Bocking coughing out our tax system in this state," he said.
Booth, when contacted about the

said he met Berman for the first time
vestday at a women's club meeting.
"He didn't mention anything to me about debates then," Booth said. "I did receive a news release with his name on it about debates, but his name was misspelled. That leads me to believe it's all a personal joke. I don't think he'd think a challenge that way."
Booth said that he thought the issues of the ban could be dictated by the person who is being banned, not by Brennan.
"Anyone who knows me knows that I like to respond to the issues, and there will be ample opportunity to do so," Booth said. "The people will bring up the issues that are hard, not one person. I'm not going to respond to a bunch of political bullshit."
The programs, which last from five to eight minutes, are updated two or three times a week, depending on weather conditions and the staff's schedule, he said.
blankes" if one of the other three fails to pick up a broadcast, Garner said.
Voice of America, an overseas news agency, is the back-up source for the news service. Voice of America sends broadcasts to countries in various foreign languages, and the news service uses the broadcasts if it cannot be unable to receive a country's stations.
"THE NEWS IS Americanized, however," Gartner said of the Voice of America broadcasts. "And we avoid that whenever possible."
The news service received 12,748 calls last week for 50-100 calls for each language program.
News programs, can be heard at any time of the day by calling 843-3003 for Chinese; 843-3012 for Russian; 843-3004 for German; 843-3019 for French; 843-3065 for French and 843-3018 for Spanish.
students also can obtain copies of old broadcasts by requesting from the language laboratory the news broadcast by the date and language.
The University Council yesterday elected Don Green, professor of chemical and petroleum engineering, to replace Donald McCov, professor of history, on SenEx.
Green gets SenEx seat
McCoy was elected to Senex last spring, but he resigned the post effective yesterday because he soon will take a sabbatical in Ireland.
A new method for installing telephones, called the modular system, is saving students time and money.
Southwestern Bell began the new system two months ago, and, according to Lyle Young, wise chief for Southwestern Bell, students at University of Kansas students are using it.
New modular telephone system designed to save time and money
Students who have had their telephone hook-ups, or jacks, switched to the modular system can install their own phones for $17. The cost of having the company install the phones is $24 for one phone and $3 for each additional phone.
A student on the modular system can pick up his phone from the Southwestern Bell business office, install it himself and receive calls the next day.
Young said the $17 helped pay for the equipment and representatives and other telephone service people.
Twenty-five KU students hired this summer converted phone jacks to the new system. You said most of the remaining jacks would be converted by next year.
"I really think it's fantastic," he said of the system. "But we have had a lot of problems."
One of the problems has been people ripping phone wires out of the jack to move the phone. Young said that the phones weren't meant to be portable, and that moving them incorrectly could damage them.
there's no way that I know that we can keep their fingers from it once they find out but let them do it.
Southwestern Bell plans to extend the modular system to include repair service, Young said. People with a damaged phone need immediate center to avoid an expensive house call.
THE PURPOSE of the modular system, he said, is to lower the cost of phone service.
