Short-term memory span described Wednesday
Remembering the first half of this sentence while reading the end of it is an example of short-term memory, now being studied by behavioral researcher Eugene Golline.
Golline, of the psychology department of Fels Research Institute, Yellow Springs, Ohio, presented the findings of his experiments to about 15 KU students and instructors Wednesday afternoon in the Kansas Union Forum Room.
In describing his memory experiments at Fels Institute, Golline said he used a box-like apparatus with a panel of small lights. The lights flashed in a series to form a pattern, usually
a letter of the alphabet. Time intervals between the flashes, the brightness of each light, and the duration of the light stimulus were varied to discover the subject's ability to perceive, he said.
Golline's research is an attempt to see what extent children can function at a cognitive level.
In all of Golline's experiments, his adult subjects had superior short-term memory spans, proving, he said, the traditional theory that memory span increases with age.
His findings will probably be used by school teachers and those who work with mental retardates, he said.

Coeds cook meals for profit
By Jill Brackbill Kansan Staff Reporter
It's Leap Year, and what better time is there to test that pillar of philosophical wisdom: the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.
Unfortunately for the romantics, hearts and flowers are not the main objectives of two graduate students, Karen Wade, Columbus, Ohio, and Mary Jo Thomas, London, Ohio. They hope to provide economical food service—at a profit.
Miss Wade and Miss Thomas placed an ad in the Daily Kansan Feb. 23 offering home cooking for those who are tired of restaurants or can't stand cooking for themselves.
After having dates in for dinner, and after watching men suffering in supermarkets, it occurred to them that they could be a service and at the same time profit themselves, Miss Wade said.
At present the two cook dinner for two undergraduate Monday through Thursday evenings. They have turned down calls from seven graduate students because they run out of dishes after serving four people. They hope other women become interested in this type of operation so they can refer the extra men to the new volunteers.
"It's something like 'An Operation Match,'" Miss Wade said.
She and Miss Thomas charge $1.25 for a meal and consider it more economical to cook for four than two.
"The men have been agreeable, liking almost anything we fix," Miss Wade said.
"They don't expect the dinners
to be too time-consuming, but if anything is taking extra time it's having to answer the phone constantly," she said.

Editor-in-chief David Ives and associate editor Gene Younger quit after the paper had criticized the administration for not renewing many grants and teaching assistantships for the coming school year.
