Electronic Hall To Spark Up Talks Teachers in the Maine South history department feel that technology can be used to increase student interest in classes. In an attempt to prove this fact, lecture hall, C-127 is being used as an experimental room for new jlectronic devices. The equipment being used has been designed and built by the department with the help of the expert custodial staff. This experiment, which is constantly undergoing change and improvement, is designed to allow

complete control of all sound and light from the lectern. Because of the foresight of this school's designers, C-127 is perfectly adaptable to the new devices. The controlled equipment includes: light dimmers; a dropping wall screen, overhead projector, and its large stationary screen, a projection booth with the operation of an "off," "forward," "reverse," and "focus" controller, fading, an effect produced by two projectors alternating light projection; a public address system for large classes; remote con-
trolled tape-recorders; telelecture, a lecture on the telephone from outside the classroom which allows questions from the class to be answered; and sophisticated radio equipment from which foreign programs can bo heard, live, or on tape. The department has equipment for making its own slides and therefore most visual presentations are made by the teachers themselves. All of the remote controlled devices are controlled by computer relays and a basic control current of 24 volts.
The girls' basketball tournament will be held on Tuesday. January 23, from 7 to 9:30 p.m. in the spectator gym. Players representing e a c h class will participate against the other classes in a playoff tournament. The girls have been practicing after school for the past two months. The annual Faculty All-Star game will be played Tuesday, January 16, after school in the west spectator gym. Everyone is invited to attend.

able for the students in the laboratory. A regular 40-minute period does not allow ample time for problems and/or questions relating to the laboratory work. Mr. C. Lane Anderson, a physical science teacher, agrees that the trial class seems to have an advantage over the regular 40-minute classes because additional time will allow a more thorough investigation of the experiments, ample time to set-up and clean-up, and more time for discussion. He also stated that because physical science gives such a comprehensive background in science, all students would benefit from this additional time. Mr. J. Ronald Teller, science department chairman, states, "Even though we feel the class is going to show a marked improvement in the teaching of physical science, we will not be able to offer the course on a one-and-one-half period basis next year because of laboratory space limitations. If the course lives up to our expectations, we hope to offer it after the building addition is completed."

Technology can be used to improve education and its use is pracitcal in about two-fifths of a students time. Certain types of students definitely benefit from this kind of teaching.
Feb, 1 Deadline For State Grants students interested in the new Illinois state Scholarship Committee Grant Program covering college tuition costs are reminded by Mr. Sherman Roth, career counselor, that February 1 is the application deadline. "This grant program gives financial aid to many families in this area," Mr. Roth said. "The problem is that too many people feel they cannot qualify for scholarships because they think they cannot show financial need." The grant program offers financial aid whenever an imdue strain is placed upon the family budget by college costs. Total family income may be misleading since other factors are also considered in awarding these grants. "Another advantage to this grant program is that there are no pretest programs involved such as the ACT or SAT tests. A student simply has to be accepted in good standing by any approved Illinois college or university," Mr. Roth added. Further information about this grant program and application procedures may be obtained from Mr. Roth and all counselors.
