4 Monday, June 30,1975 University Daily Kansan Chain mail unhorsed Let's not beat around the bush. This article is about chain letters. I hate chain letters. I have always hated chain letters and I always will hate chain letters. No matter what those nasty little missives promise—money, presents, recipes or whatever —I simply detest them. And the worst thing about them is that they always come (the little photocopied to) someone who is supposed to be a friend. The chain letter that finally destroyed my patience arrive last week. This was ostensibly religious in nature, with a little prayer at the top that said, essentially, "God likes you, and if you do what he says, he'll like you even more." Like all chain letters, this one began a quarter-century ago in the East and West. It was written by John C. McCormick. I was, of course, supposed to add my name to those already on the list and send the letter to 20 friends. By doing so, I could expect something very nice to happen to me within four days. Breaking the chain, however, would be inviting disaster. Well, I1, for one, am entirely fed up. This latest eptist has tazed my good humor beyond the trumpet that you just got in your following communication and send it postage to everyone who inflicts a chain letter upon you in the future: In 1678, a French dwarf named Le Petit, who was court jester and adviser to Louis XIV, scrawled these astrological symbols on a privy behind the castle. COMMENT comes in contact, you must make 86 copies of this letter, mail one copy to each person on the list, keep one and send the rest to Mickey Roeoney. According to Gallic legend, those who gaze upon these symbols will encounter amazing good fortune. One Monsieur Bordeaux, for instance, upon viewing the mysterious hieroglyphic, was relieved of severe constipation. A Senor Mercedes, while visiting Paris, saw the inscription and the inscription of a young woman near the Arc de Triomphe. I, myself, upon merely hearing the legend, was cured of acne and strep throat. Do not let this happen to you!!!

Another gentleman, a Herr Schwartz of Munich, broke the chain and was immediately arrested for indecent exposure!! Jim Merrill Take a garden to mulch Roughly translated, it means, "The chambermaid is easy." By MARTHA PERRY Kansas Staff Reporter To keep this incredible legend alive, thus allowing others to share in the magnificent power of the universe, we have For those of you who missed spring and put off gardening until next year, There are still many garden vegetables that can be planted this late in the season. If you have access to a water hose and are willing to subject yourself to a few bug bites, a little sweat and the chance of sunburn, you're ready to grow. Tomatoes are usually the most popular garden croc. They take 125 days to mature. so ripening time may be cut short. Green tomatoes can be ripened indoors. COMMENT The first frost for eastern Kansas is about 11-22 growing days for your garden, about 12-12.5 growing days for your garden, Pepper plants can also go in now. They will mature at the same time as tomatoes. Shaded areas are good for growing peppers and peppers this late in the season. He lettuce or cabbage shouldn't be late in the season because it will go to seed. Vegetables that have a short maturing period, such as turnips, beets and carrots, should be planted near the end of July. The cabbage can also be planted at this time. Leaf crops, such as spinach and leaf lettuce, are considered cool weather crops and shouldn't be planted until the end of August. Radishes can only be grown in cooler weather. If they are planted now, they will grow bitter and usually go to seed. They take 25-30 days to mature, so planting them in late August or early September would produce a good crop.

Covering your garden with muck retains moisture in the soil and keeps weeds to a minimum. Straw is one of the best materials for compost, but dried grass clippings can be used.

The clippings don't cut as readily as draw. Planting a garden can give you a great deal of satisfaction. Watering and weeding are very important tasks. Phillip Paludan, associate professor of history, will lecture on "John Brown's Soul," tonight at 7 in Swarthout Recital Hall. ON CAMPUS When KUOK completes the change from AM to FM radio broadcasting, it will have a different name and a larger potential audience. KUOK expands, becomes KJHK The Federal Communications Commission informed the School of Journalism Saturday that JKHK would be the call letters for the student-operated FM broadcasting station replaces KUOK, a radio car-cable AM station at the University of Kansas. He said the call letters KUOK couldn't be kept because a Coast Guard ship uses them. The FCC's assignment of call letters pertains to begin construction on the new station. Bruce Linton, professor of journalism, said Saturday that KJHK, an acronym for Kansas Jayhawk, was KU's second choice of five suggestions forwarded to the FCC. "Our first choice, KUSV, for Kanaas Student Voice, must already be read," Jiddah said. "The antenna and transmitter were bid in the middle of June with a 80-day delivery," Linton said. "It's possible we may be sitting by the time the fall semester begins." Linton said that once constructed, the station would go on the air and be tested. After a period of testing, KU must apply to the FCC for a license to broadcast, he said. Prof researches with computers By JACK FISCHER Kansan Staff Reporter Versatile is the best word to describe Robert Haralick, associate professor of electrical engineering at the University of Kansas. Among his interests are satellite computer programs, the feedback survey, a computer to help write music and participation in local government. The three research projects deal with remote sensing, in which a satellite circling the earth sends back information on the types and conditions of the crops that it passes over. A computer then stores the information for use by researchers. Haralick said remote sensing only was valuable in specific situations. For example, if there was haze below the hill, it would send back distorted information. Haralick's research is being conducted in the remote sensing lab at the Space Technology Building. Although he spends about half his time working on the projects, Haralick said, his teaching is more important. Haralick said his staff on the projects was made up of about half undergraduate students and half graduate students who have practical experience from the research. Haralick also likes to write a little poetry and ponder his philosophy of life when he isn't busy teaching or working on one of his books. He writes for NASA and the national Science Foundation. "The research supports the teaching," he said. With a grant from the National Science Foundation, Haralick said, he hopes to devise a program that will correct the problem of distorted information.

"The computer is a fast idiot," Haralick said. He said that a computer always had the limitation of its program and that it would not be able to process new data. "A computer will never be intelligent in the sense that a person is intelligent," Haralick said, "because as far as we know, people have no limits." What people will see. Haralck said, is more in all phases of business and used more in all phases of business. He said that the new survey, which might be ready this fall, would be shorter and would have questions submitted by the departments and schools of the University, so that the questions would be more appropriate to a course's content. Harackit is a member of the Curriculum and Instruction Survey Committee, which is revising the student feedback questionnaire on University courses. Harallick said he liked to play jazz piano in his leisure, but even in music his professional abilities became involved. "I'm working on the side with computer logarithms to help a composer compose music." Haralick said. In addition to professional and private activities, Haralick is involved in civic affairs. He is a member of the Douglas County Environmental Improvement Team. Haraldik has run twice unsuccessfully to, the Lawrence City Commission. He said he would like to be involved in the job. "It wouldn't be appropriate now"' University needs to have a chance, too. University needs to have a chance, too. Another project that Haralick is working on is the use of gamma rays and a computer at the KU Medical Center for the remote sensing of liver conditions. "I don't know, but I'm open in the future to academics, and becoming an M.D. "Harcalck said. Haralick said that he wanted to remain involved in research and that the Med Center might be the place where he would do it. Haralick received his B.A. in mathematics in 1964, his B.S. in electrical engineering in 1968, his M.S. in 167 and his Ph.D. in 1969, all from the University.
