'Hello Fido? This is Rover.'
Man's best friend seems to find this convenience of his master's world perplexing. Perhaps among his other duties he will some day be required to answer the telephone. He probably will never be bothered by long waiting lines. If only he had a dime...
Credit/no credit option available Feb.16-26
William L. Kelly, KU registrar,
said students may fill out their
credit/no credit options between
Feb. 16 and Feb. 26.
Kelly said if one is interested in taking a course on the option, he should pick up a credit/no credit option card and instruction sheet from his dean.
After filling out both sides of the card, it should be double checked to make sure the SSN number is correct. There was some problem last semester with students incorrectly copying their SSN number, said Kelly.
The completed card should then be returned to the dean's office. Upperclassmen in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences should turn their cards in at the registrar's office, window 1. No cards will be accepted without a KU-ID for identification.
The program has not been changed since last semester, Kelly said. The grade option is opened to all undergraduates except those who are in the schools of business and education.
The instructor will not be informed of those students choosing this option. He will assign the student a letter grade for the
course and the registrar will convert the grade into credit or no credit. The grade report will be the first visual indication that the students has chosen the credit/ no credit option.
Credit will be received for grades of A, B or C with no credit for grades of D or F.
Students may choose this option only during the third and fourth weeks of classes. Once a student has made his selection, the course will remain under this option.
If a student drops a course after Feb. 27 the course will be graded "W" if his work is of passing quality on the date he dropped it. He will be given no credit if his work is not of passing quality.
Courses marked credit or no credit will not count in computing the grade point average. Courses marked credit count in the total hours earned by the student for graduation; courses marked no credit do not count as hours earned.
No courses in a student's declared major may be taken on the credit/no credit option.
Engineer shortage foreseen, KU enrollment also slips
Enrollment in engineering in the past few years has decreased while general enrollments have swelled said Associate Professor Paul G. Hausman, state chairman of the Engineers Council for Professional Development, Wednesday.
Hausman said 30,000 to 40,000 engineering graduates will be available this year, however, some sources quote 75,000 will be needed. At KU there are 250 interviewers from different companies speaking to more than 150 students, he said.
Hausman attributed the downward trend of enrollment at KU to many of the junior colleges established in the state. He also said surveys show a decrease in physics and chemistry courses taken
The system was originally designed by the Department of Communications at the Medical Center in order that medical students on the parent campus would have the opportunity of taking the basic science courses. At the end of the first year of operation in 1966, four to six hours a week were transmitted over the microwave.

Gordon Titus, director of communication services at the Medical Center, said that the estimate for 1970 transmission over the microwave would be close to 1,-100 hours.
in the country's high schools and if such trends continue, they could cause problems, Hausman said.
The media of television has become a link between education at the University of Kansas and the University of Kansas Medical Center.
To increase enrollment in engineering, Hausman said he aided in establishing a guidance program while he was chairman of the Mid-America Engineering Guidance Council of the ECDP. The purpose of the council is to acquaint the industrial and technical societies and schools in guiding students interested in engineering.
Today classes are transmitted and received equally between the two campuses. The variety of courses being taught over the closed circuit TV include anthropology, civil engineering, computer services, general education courses and special conferences of faculties of both campuses and other special events. In all, 30 departments are involved in the programming.
Through a closed circuit television between KU and KUMC students can participate in classes on the other campus. This link between the two campuses provides greater integration of their educational programs and activities.

There are three areas in which the council helps high school and junior college counselors. Those areas include the councils film library which provides taped cassettes, films, and video tapes to the schools, the speaker's series, and literature provided by the council.
COLUMBIA, Mo. (UPI)—Harold Condra, housing director for the University of Missouri-Columbia, has turned over the processed names of students who participated in last Friday's "intervitation" to the dean of students, it was announced Wednesday.
Dean Matthews made no comment but Condra stressed that his office has handled the matter in the same way it handles any violation. Condra added that further action would have to come from Matthews' office.
University officials warned students that they might be subject to disciplinary action if they took part in the protest visits.
The Committee for Concerned Students, a local activist group, has scheduled a play for noon Thursday in front of the student union. The group says the play will show trial and execution of students for violating the school's intervitation code. Executioners, the CCS said, will represent the university board of curators.
The CCS also planned a rally for Thursday night in front of the student commons.

uling of exams so that he can give the exam in person or he can call in a graduate student to proctor the exam while he watches over the class from a television set.
The class at one campus sees and hears the professor at the other campus on TV monitors. The professor, in turn, is able to see and hear the students on a TV monitor at his end. Questions can be raised and answered from either end of the system. When a student speaks, the camera focuses on the individual so names are connected with faces.
Exams present no problems. The instructor has several alternatives. He can stagger the sched-
There is one channel of audio video each way between the two campuses. An underground cable stretches from classrooms at KU to a tower behind Marvin Hall into the master control system. The signal is transmitted from there to KUMC.
Through the use of this program a professor can instruct two classes simultaneously. Titus said it could eliminate the need of huge classes or the alternative of smaller classes taught by graduate students.
