Equipment reaches
out, touches quickly

By DARRELL CLEM
Staff Writer

New equipment at UK can trans-
fer pages of information to places
across the nation at a rate of 30 sec
onds per page.

Bonnie Johnson. manager of Com-
munications Operations —— VOICE.
said the equipment. known as the
“facsimile machine.“ can be used in
this way: “Say you have a chemis-
try student who has a brilliant di-
agram and it needs to be sent to
Duke University. but the student
doesn’t want to wait for mail service
and it cannot be done over the
phone

“We can put the copy into the fac~
simile. dial the ‘facs‘ number at
Duke. and the photograph goes
(there: in a matter of seconds. The
response from Duke could come in
seconds. with corrections made on
the original copy."

John Calkins. a professor in the
department of radiation medicine.
said the machine "is really meat for
getting things around in a hurry "
Calkins is currently working on a
project with the Environmental Pro-
tection Agency and often needs fast
and accurate information from
Washington. DC.

"We need to communicate things
quickly. and the facsimile is great
forthat."hesaid.

The service. which has been open
to students. faculty. and staff since
June 14. cost about 36.000 to install.
Del Combs. director of communica-
tion and information systems. devel-
oped plans for expanding the Uni—
versity’s communications system
last year when money saved after
modernizing the phone system be-
came available.

"We decided to reinvest in other
services." he said. “We are trying
to develop a total communication
system. not just phone service."

Although the facsimile machine
has been used leI six times so far.
Johnson said she expects increased
usage as students and faculty be-
come aware of the service.

“Grades. resumes. dissertations.
physics formulas — whatever —
could be sent.“ she said. Another
facsimile machine must be on the
receiving end of the information. she
said.

Sending rates are based on the
number of copies transmitted. Cost
for one or two copies is $3. and the
cost per copy decreases as the num-
ber of copies desired increases.
More than 20 copies would net a cost
of 50 cents per copy. At the receiv-
ing end. cost is $2.50 for one or two
copies and also decreases with addi-
tional copies.

 

“We decided to
rein vest in other
services. . . . We are
trying to develop a
total communication
system, not just phone
service. ”
Del Combs.
director of communication
and information systems

 

Another communications service.
a Telex system which sends mes-
sages to practically anywhere in two
minutes. is generating more student
interest so far. according to Cindy
Taylor. secretary of VOICE. This
service was installed at about the
same time as the facsimile and cost
approximately $3.400.

Johnson said students are proba-
bly more aware of how Telex oper-
ata and said the service is ideal for
students who need money from
home quickly.

Taylor said the average number of
messages sent during the first
month was one and one-half per day.
Averages rose to about four during
the second month. and “we're going
into our third month “

"In the mornings. sometimes I do
notlung but work on the Telex." she
said

Although the center offers a
choice of Telex. mailgram. tele-
gram. or cablegram. Taylor said
“Telex to Telex is the cheapest way
to have messages sent

For the first two printed lines.
Telex costs $3 to send and $1 to re.
ceive. There is a sending charge of
50 cents for each additional line. By
contrast. Taylor said sending a tele-
gram usually costs about 320330 for
15 words or less. mailgrams cost
$7.50 for the first 50 words (with a
charge of $2.50 for each additional
word). and cablegrams cost 27 cents
per word.

Both facsimile and Telex services
are cash-based. but faculty and staff
may establish an account number
with VOICE and be billed

"We are a University service and
cannot make money on this." John-
son said. “This is a service to any-
one on campus.“

Taylor said she is not yet sure
what actual operating costs will be.
but “we should be getting our first
bill any day now. I expect we‘ll
break about even.

Sinatra returns to big band sound; Prince erratic

LA. is My Lady Frank Sinatra-
/Wamer Bros -Qwest Records

It has been said of Frank Sinatra
that he has bridged four generations
and somehow never found a gap. by
recording the definitive versions of
each era ‘5 finest pop songs

True. but there've been a few
clunkers along the way. Hrs new
album is no exception on either
count.

Sinatra couldn't have chosen a
better band leader/producer than
Quincy Jones. whose assemblage
here includes the redoubtable jazz
likes of George Benson. Bob James.
Michael Brecker and even the leg-
endary Lionel Hampton.

The result is as interesting an
album as we can reasonably expect
from a singer with nothing left to
prove. backed with a mostly young
band with everything to gain from
playing behind a living legend.

Sinatra is the first to admit how
little there is left to do with such oft-
recorded tunes as "Stormy Weath-
er" and Cole Porter‘s "It's All Right
with Me.“ After strolling his way
through the standard lyrics to
“Mack the Knife," he even offers
his compliments to those who sang it
before.

Never one to be content with hu-
mility for long. Sinatra soon enough
extolls the virtues of "Quincy‘s big
band" while the boys swing into
high gear for the rest of his orches-
trated ad lib. Sinatra rim to the oc-
casion with a rowing vocal that re-
calls his work with another big band
leader by the name of Basic. and by
the time he quip, “When I tell you
about Mack the Knife. babe/It's an
offer you can‘t refine.“ he’s earned
therighttosay so,

The title track. for all its video ex-
posure. Is as throwaway a tune as
Sinatra has ever fooled with. me-
chanically molded as it IS in the

mellow late-night I..A style.
Rhythms this senselessly lush
shouldn't be heard outside an Earl
Klugh album

For anyone who's never bought a
Sinatra album. “I. A IS My lady“ IS
a fine place to start Sammy Cahn‘s

“Teach Me Tonight“ even gives Si~

natra one more chance to brag
about the obvrous -

"I've played lmc scenes in a tltclz or
two.

And I've also met if (”llH h in tun
