Communication class hooks up to the Internet

Professors from four states will teach a communication studies course next semester, but they won't be needing the chancellor's guest house.
KU professors and professors from Arizona State University, the University of Texas and Rutgers University will teach a course about the Internet using you guessed it. The Internet
"We've talked for a long time about universities without walls," said Howard Sypher, chairman of communication studies and an instructor. "This is a step toward that."
Students in Communication Studies 620 will learn to build their own home pages on the World Wide Web. And instead of going to the library or the bookstore to find some of the required readings for the course, they will look on the Internet.
"It is almost like they will all be independent studies because so much of the work will be done outside of class," Sypher said.
KU students also will communicate with students at Arizona State, Rutgers and Texas enrolled
in similar courses and will receive instruction from teachers of those courses.
Frederick Williams, professor in the College of Communication Studies at Texas, said that he would post on the Internet portions of a textbook he is writing about communication technologies.
Steven Corman, associate professor of communication studies at Arizona State, said that he and another professor had taught a course at the University of Illinois through the Internet last year. Corman said that he and Sypher may set up a video conference between Corman and Sypher's class.
Tracy Russo, assistant professor of communication studies, will teach a course at the Regents center next semester that will deal with some of the same issues. Her course will be mostly for business people who want to learn about new communication technology.
"Howard's approach is to explore." Russo said. "Ours is to simulate a business and let students use the Internet the way they would in a business. We're both doing brand-new things with these courses."
CITY COMMISSION G. Willikers will be downtown
By Tara Trenary

The Lawrence city commission voted unanimously at last night's meeting to approve a drinking establishment license for G. Willikers, despite concerns of Lawrence residents and merchants.
"My idea of a good time is not to go out drinking," said David Longhurst, representative for Ken Campbell, president of the Downtown Lawrence Association. "It's not my personal vision for downtown Lawrence."
Longhurst said the location for G.Willikers, 733 Massachusetts St., presented the potential of downtown Lawrence becoming another Aggieville. He also cited potential problems with enforcing the 55 percent food requirement ordinance on some Lawrence bars.
John Connellly, resident of an apartment above G. Willikers, asked the commission to consider restricting the hours of the deli/bar because of possible disruptions from loud music and drinkers.
"My neighbors and I enjoy living downtown a great deal," he said. "I believe our requests are reasonable."
Rob Phillips, owner of the 733 Massachusetts St. building, said that when he bought the building 12
years ago, he had to get permission from the commission to put apartments downtown.
"What I see happening here is that our downtown tenants want to dictate what commercial activities can happen in downtown Lawrence," he said. "What I don't want to see is our downtown district being controlled by residents."
George Paley, owner of the 737 Massachusetts St. building and Natural Way, 820 Massachusetts St., said that the spirit of the 55 percent food requirement ordinance was to keep food primary and alcohol secondary in downtown.
That was exactly what Vernon Dolezal, owner of G.Willikers, promised to do.
"We're not even open yet for business, and other people are deciding what kind of business we are going to run," he said. "Our feature attraction is food."
He said that reducing business hours was not fair, since the city had received no other complaints from other downtown residents.
Mike Wildgen, Lawrence city manager, said that the commission could conduct a public hearing about how to fix the problem if the welfare of local residents was damaged.
"I would certainly encourage continued communication," said Commissioner Jo Andersen.
New artwork will be displayed outside
said John Nalbandian, city commissioner and associate professor of public administration and government.
The arts commission will place a notice in the newspaper to select a member from the general public, too, she said.

"I think the depot is a great site,"
A selection committee will be set up at a later date to choose both the artwork and the final location. Wells said that one member of the arts commission would serve on the committee and that the Depot Management Board and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board also would be involved in the assignments of the committee.

Wells said that in the past, the Lawrence Arts Commission had placed other works of art in community, including the Totem Pole by the Hallmark Plant.
The restored train depot at Locust and N. Second streets is under consideration as a site for a work of art to be purchased with the money, Wells said. The work will be outdoor art, possibly a fountain.

The Lawrence Arts Commission went before the city commission last night to voice plans for the 1996 Percent for Art Project, which now is in the works, and to get guidance from the city.
Bonnie Wells, president of the Lawrence Arts Commission, said that the commission set aside a certain amount of money dedicated to permanent art in Lawrence. This year's amount is about $32,000.
