A New Dish for Schools, Bui No ffoir JuU4mJH Vanessa uarnson, parpen mmum, tmmmmmw jf fe4JHm fx Satellite dish is just one phrase in the new communication technologies you need to know to keep up with what's going on or going to go on in the schoolhouse. Add these other words: videodisc, cable, videotape recorder. I-T-V consists of series designed to teach specific subjects.
Many of the packaged programs are produced under the aegis of Agency for Instructional Television, a consortium of education departments in Canada and the United States. About 15 million students, kindergarten to grade 12, learn some from instructional television programs during a school day. But there are I-T-V programs for all ages and types of learners, including post-secondary and adult learners. Topics range from reading to math to counseling and anthropology. But that's not all.
Nearly half-a-million students are enrolled in courses offered by intructional television in colleges and universities, the National Center for by PATRICIA McCORMACK UPI Education Editor If the kids say the school wants a satellite dish and they might some day don't look in the cupboard for something along that line to donate. A satellite dish has nothing to do with regular dishes. Also called a down-link, it has nothing to do with cuff, fence or golf links either. A satellite dish is part of the equipment in one of the new communication technologies making audio-visual waves around the schoolhouse. The technologies will give new flexibility to instructional television I-T-V, as it's called.
The "dish" catches beams signals from satellites. It looks like a dish but the diameter on a small one is three feet. Kentucky Education Television, for one, is preparing to perch small satellite dishes receivers atop every school in that state and to purchase a full-time satellite channel dedicated to delivering instructional television materials to schools. nisPI AVING HIS GRAND CHAMPION INSECT Ivell assembles a new collection every year.

Insiders say the satellites provide a means of transmitting signals across great distances and avoid the need for complex systems of land-based relays. The result: a major decrease in the cost of long distance, multiple-channel transmission. Present satellite receiving equipment down-links are relatively complex and cdstly. Small, simper and much less costly downlinks are being used successfuly for reception in several countries. A report from "Television Is for Learning," a program from the Public Broadcasting Service and the Corporation for Public broadcasting, said, "These smaller, three-feet in diameter receiving dishes will soon be available in the United States for both home and institutional use." Three other payoffs from satellite communications expected to impact on the classroom: 1.
Videoconferencing: Two-way visual links between several parties separated by substantial distances. A wide variety of educational, medical and business teleconferences have been conducted over the past two years. 2. Dissemination of educational materials to numerous interested parties on a regional or national basis. 3.
Dissemination of specialized materials to people who are widely dispersed and-or situated in relative geographic isolation. That is the problem Kentucky Education Television hopes to solve with satellite receivers on school tops. About those other words and systems you'll need to know in addition to satellite dish as alternative delivery systems from the new technologies become generally available: Videotape recorder and playback units: The rapid rise in consumer popularity of the small format (Vr in.) videotape cassette recorde brings with it a shift in control away from the broadcaster and towards the classrom teacher. In many schools, "teachers have I-T-V programs recorded off the air and, at some later time, fit them into a more appropriate time and sequence for that classroom. Up to six hours of instructional programming may be stored on one '2-in.
video cassette. Small format recorders, relatively inexpensive, are steadily being purchased for home use. It is con-ceiveable the classroom might be expanded into the living room. How this would work: student checks out pre-recorded material, takes casette home, plays it, studies. Videftape cameras: More schools are buying small video cameras and constructing some form of school television production facility.
Often, production process becomes part of the instruction. Students at Edward R. Murrow High in Brooklyn, N.Y., for one example, have gone into the surgical suite of a New York city hospital and taped operations. Prairie High students in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, working with Kirkwood Community College, produced 1,500 videotapes covering aspects of vocational education. Students use phones to request tapes stored at Kirkwood.
Media personnel inform students of correct channel to monitor, then transmits tape. After viewing tapes, students demonstrate to teacher they learned information on the tape. Tape topics range from auto mechanics to drafting, electronics, pottery-making and woodworking. Cable television: Cable TV is a system for disseminating TV by wire instead of over the air. This offers multiple channel television, voice, data and facsimile reproduction and, in some cases, interactive capability.
Most cable systems now in place have a 12 channel capacity. Newer systems will have increased channel capacity. A few might have up to 125 channels of information for cable subscribers.

Business firms are turning to outside guards, electronic surveillance and undercover agents to find ways to stop the losses. His firm concentrates on supplying undercover agents, while larger firms like Wackenhut, Burns and others supply guards and a wide range of services. "The demand for agents to spy out theft and business espionage is large," Beck said.
Beck said a good security firm can help a company cut this type of crime considerably. "Most firms are good at manufacturing their product but poor at holding the line on security." He said he finds loopholes in almost every company he goes into. The undercover business is labor intensive and its success depends on the quality of the agents, said Beck, who has enlarged his workforce about five-fold in the last few years. Typically, the undercover agent goes on the payroll of the client company. He or she has to be versatile, able to do or make a good show of doing many kinds of jobs.
Agents come from all sorts of backgrounds and some, like Beck, have had training in acting. The pay is good. Agents get double pay on the job, from the client and from the investigating firm. Beck started his business in 1957 to give him "something to do in his spare time." His full-time career as an actor, director and choreographer soon gave way to the part-time venture. While he admits that white-collar crime can never be completely eliminated a sound security system can cut it to a minimum.
"The secret is to discourage the thief. it so tough to steal that it is easier to be honest," he said. BAYOU VISTA ELEMENTARY School dental health poster winners are shown above with local orthodonist Dr. Wybra Duay. From left is Jessica Howell, first place; Dr.

Corporate theft and corporate espionage have become so pervasive that supplying such agents to combat them is a thriving business, says Lee Beck.
Beck's firm, Searchers Investigating Co. of Los Angeles, has represented some of the biggest firms in the country, as well as law enforcement agencies and lawyers. In one of its recent publicized cases, Beck was hired by MCA and caught the chap who was pirating messages recorded by Pope John Paul II while he was still a cardinal. "Actually, that was a small deal as business crime goes," Beck, a former actor and stage director, told United Press International. The toll of crimes against corporations and crimes by corporations runs to billions of dollars a year, he said, and is a major contributory factor to the nation's high inflation rate.
"Stealing from the company, or shady larcenous practices by companies against each other have become a way of life in America," he said. So much so that companies now accept inventory losses of 6 to 7 percent from such theft. Many companies are reluctant to prosecute white collar crime, he said. This encourages dishonest employees to broaden their depredations with little fear of harsh punishment. It isn't moral lethargy, but the gross inefficiency of American criminal court procedure that makes firms unwilling to prosecute a dishonest employee, he said.
The court procedure is rigged in favor of the thief. The complainant often "must sit eight hours in court in WINNERS IN A DENTAL I1KALTII poster contest at Maitland Elementary School in Morgan City were, front row from left, Michael Shayne Duplechin, first place; Jimmy Morgan, second; and Laura Orgeron, third.
