KU's new computer has larger load, faster output
The stereotyped computer freak isn't the only person benefiting from the University of Kansas' new Honeywell 6860 computer. The computer, which has two memory and speed of KU's old Honeywell 630, makes life easier for many people at KU.
During fiscal 1977, the old honeywell serviced 460 projects in research and instruction, including class projects, masters' courses, summer programs and special student research projects.
ALSO USING the computer were various campus organizations, state and governmental organizations, the library and KU's administration.
After the new computer was installed, its use increased by more than 15 per cent.
"because of the greater capacity in the new computer," Ray Kramer, business executive, Computation Center, said recently. "we're starting to see people do different things."
Kramer said many undergraduate students used the computer for research projects with no thesis or dissertation goal. However, a student who just wants to play with the computer might have trouble gaining access to it.
We see this as an educational tool and not as a system intended for people to play with it.
KRAMER SAID that most students using the computer gained access to it through some department in the University. Students enrolled in computer courses don't pay a fee; graduate students are cleared through their faculty sponsor.
"The project is actually in the name of the faculty sponsor and the student is the institute's administrator."
He said all projects were charged to departments. The cost depends upon the ba

Sykes said the new computer system was chosen because it was better than the old computer for the instruction and research purposes. Sykes also noted that Honeywell could use the same mode of programming for both the batch and time-sharing methods used by various companies.
THE HONEYWELL 60/60 was chosen over four other computers after a six-year study. Sykes said the computer probably uses relatively obsolete in five or six years.
"But that's just for our purposes," he said. "After that we can probably sell it somewhere else where such a large capacity isn't needed."
A team of five students from the University of Kansas School of Law won the International Moot Court Competition last weekend in San Francisco.
5 law students win competition
The students who participated in the competition were David Davenport, Shawne Mission third year law student; David Jeans, Independence, Mo., second year law student; Katherine Clubb Kaufmann, Lakeville, Minn., first year law student; Jonathan Clarke, first year law student; and James Prentice, Turon, Kan., first year law student.
Jeans placed first and Davenport third in individual oralist competition. KU placed second in the written arguments competition.
This year, the KU group competed against 100 American law schools and 300 other universities.
The competition was based on a hypothetical problem dealing with nuclear proliferation. The teams were divided into national and foreign divisions.
After winning national division honors, the KU team defeated the foreign division winner, the University of Toronto, Canada in the final competition.
Throughout history, childbirth has stirred fear and uncertainty in the minds of many women, who relied on old wives' tales and misconceptions to themselves, themselves for their children's births.

But today, as a result of the work of many doctors and other concerned people, organizations have formed that have as a goal educating a woman's mind, body and feelings so that labor and delivery can be a time of trust, joy and predictability.
Classes deal with childbirth fears
With this goal in mind, seven women and their husbands gathered last Thursday night at the First Presbyterian Church, 2415 W. 23rd St., for the first of six two-to-three children. Prepared Childbirth, Inc., of Lawrence, to live to seven couples attend each session.
BEFORE THE SIX weeks are over, the couples will have learned exercises to prepare the woman's body for labor and delivery, become acquainted with one another, explore the experiences, doubts, fears, hopes and dreams about their pregnancies.
Prepared Childbirth, a nonprofit organization begun three years ago in Lawrence, is one of many in the United States begin after results of the work of a nurse. Fernald Lamaze was brought to the country by returning travelers in the 1980s.
The travelers were impressed with the success of the breathing techniques developed by Lamaize, which were designed to relax the body and take the woman's mind of pain, Sandy Dolezal, an instructor for the childbirth sessions, said Saturday.
Using the Lamaza method and other techniques, knowledge, relaxation and exercises are taught to break the cycle of fear, tension and pain, Cindy Murray, an nurse at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, said Murray taught the class Thursday.
The number of groups was small until the mid to late '60s, she said, but have increased drastically in recent years.
*HAPPY PURPOSE IS TO make it a joyful,
  healthy experience for the Mother
  in need.*
The program is open to both married couples and single women and costs $20 a couple or $10 a person. Most women who enroll are pregnant for the first time,
Murray said, and have learned about the classes through friends from information sources.
The women complete the course during the last eight weeks of pregnancy.
Kathrin Kittler of Tonganoxie said she was pregnant with her first child and wanted the baby to be born in New Zealand.
she says to know what you're getting into," she said. "If you are the birth, and be awaken when it happens."
ALTHOUGH THIS is her second pregnancy, Sue Andrews, Tonganoxie, decided to enroll because she hadn't been prepared for the first.
"I want to relax," she said, "and you can't teach it at the last minute."
The people who teach the methods became involved on their own, Dolezal said. Although four of the five instructors who teach in Lawrence are nurses, it isn't
necessary to have medical background since no medical advice is given, she said.
All instructors, however, have been trained at workshops conducted by the International Childbirth Education Center of the umbilical organization of childbirth groups.
BOTH DOLEZAL AND Murray emphasized that a prepared birth wasn't necessarily a painless birth because the work of labor was demanding. Murray likened the exercises to the training of an athlete.
They also prepared childbirth wasn't necessarily unmedicated. The right medication, Murray said, may boost the effectiveness of a woman's skills.
"It isn't an endurance contest," she said.
An important part of the prepared childbirth experience is the role played by the husband as "coach." Husbands participate fully and learn every technique that their wives learn. By preparing and working together, they become a part of the obstetrical team, Murray said.
The coach helps the woman with her breathing and in any other way that he can, because she is better at it.
SINGLE PERSONS MAY choose whoever they want to serve as their coach, Dolezal said. But there is sometimes a problem obtaining permission for them to enter the delivery room. Husbands are allowed in, she said.
"He knows what to expect," she said, "and can be alert to signs that perhaps she is. It hoped that through these lessons, a woman can enjoy her pregnancy more and look forward to the changes in her life that the baby will bring, Murray said.
"Calm, easy-going, relaxed people have a much easier time," she said.
