Thus far, there have been no unexpected problems in the conversion. Wolfe said.
Some trouble did develop shortly after the system was turned over to users for the first time July 1. Within two weeks, eight disc units that retrieve information malfunctioned, a power unit developed problems and there was trouble with output printers.
"We expect a certain shakedown period, a certain period when mechanical adjustments or other adjustments have to be made," Wolfe said. "At this point, we're very pleased with the performance of both systems."
RECENTLY, THE conversion caused a short delay for users, Wolfe said, when printers on the new system were tested. A printer that will be transferred from the old system to the new one was tested on the new computer, slowing out for a time.
Several regular computer users
daily need approval of the conversion
to new versions.
Francis Tuggle, associate professor of computer science, said turn-around (the time between submission and completion of the thesis) had "gone from hours to minutes."
"I haven't found any problems, and turn-
around has been improved significantly"
Ronald Bass, assistant professor of physics and astronomy, said that, except
--for the periods when the printer was being tested on the new Honeywell, the turnaround on his programs had been reduced significantly.
"IT'S THE DIFFERENCE between five hours and 15 minutes," he said. "Especially during the summer when there are no courses, turn-around has been 15 minutes."
Victor Wallace, who came to KU about a month ago as new chairman of the department of computer science, said the conversion had raised the possibility of eventually changing some of the computer languages offered at KU.
Wallace also praised the new system and said he expected further improvements.
"As far as the performance is concerned, it's bound to improve," he said. "We have every indication that it will. It has more indications and we're not working up to the limits."
Long dry spell withering state
TOPEKA (AP)—The summer of 1978 is proving to be the best in Topeka and many other cities.
Phil E.  E. Shideler, meteorologist in charge of the National Weather Service office in Topeka, June July-August 32 and 50 inches, the lowest since 2.68 in 1936.
Shidler said the jet stream and storm track had been running across Canada and the northern border region of the United States and had ignored Kansas and the plains.
Chances improve for Mars life
PASADENA, Calif. (AP)—The latest results from a biology experiment aboard Viking once again raise the possibility of life in Mars soil, scientists said yesterday, though nonliving, chemical explanations haven't been excluded.
However, Dr. Harold P. Klein, leader of the biology team of which Horowitz is a member, was more cautious. He said "alternative explanations must be rued out" before any pronouncement about life could be made.
As in past reports, scientists were equivocal, refusing to make firm con-
Scientists emphasized one of the prerequisites for announcing life on Mars clearly hadn't been met; the discovery of organic matter in the soil. It was thought that Martian life would produce organic compounds. So far the laboratory has found none.
Dr. Norman Horowitz said the data "increase the chance" that the activity detected by the robot lander is a living biological process.
