UNL Researches digital phones
A UNL research project to develop a "digital"
telephone has been granted $17,000 by the
. National Science foundation, according to Jerry
Gibson, UNL assistant professor of electrical
engineering.
The project, under Gibson's direction, "is
concerned with providing efficient digital voice
communications using existing telephone
facilities," he said.
Digital voice transmission involves changing
the sounds produced by the voice into number
patterns sent over telephone lines by a signal
similar to that of a voice signal. The patterns are
then translated back into sounds through the
The system, when completed, will fit into the
handset of today's telephones, Gibson said, and
will improve the voice quality of the
transmission. It will consume less energy t.u be
less expensive to replace than the current system,
and the ease with which the system can be
encoded makes it useful for defense purposes, he
added. , . . . ,
The grant will be used mainly for salaries and
computer time, according to Gibson, and will be
spread over two summers and the academic year
in between. The money began coming April 1 , he
said.

AUF spring drive ends
Emeriti to receive $1, 700
The All University Fund (AUF) spring faculty
drive ended last week, and members expect to
have more than $1,700 to give to the Emeriti
Association, according to Sandy Huber, AUF
committee member.
The Emeriti Association is an organizqtion of
UNL and UNO retired professors who have been
granted emeriti status. When a professor retires,
his department chairman can recommend him for
this title, with approval coming from the Board
of Regents.
The money from AUF will be used to aid
those members of this organization who are
found to be in financial need, either with
monthly payments to supplement income or
with special payments for financial emergencies.
Much of the money will be used to aid
professors who retired before the UNL pension
plan went into effect in 1961. Professors who
retired before that time are now getting
anywhere from $290 to a maximum of $2,400 a
year as a total pension payment, and are
therefore in need of assistance.
The Emeriti Association was chosen by a
ballot sent to all UNL instructors, administrators
and researchers in late February. Two-hundred
fifty-eight (258) of the 1,600 ballots sent out
were returned to the AUF office, according to
April Lowder, AUF chairman.
The other charities on the ballot were the
Open Door Health Center, the Capital
Association for Retarded Children, the
Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease Association
and Senior Diners.
According to Huber, the total at the end of
last week was $1,300 and it is expected to reach
$1 ,700 by the time all pledges received.
Last year the faculty drive raised $1,528 for
Tutors of Nebraska Indian Children (TONIC).
AUF committee members appeared before
faculty members at their April departmental
meetings or sent letters to them explaining the
Emeriti Association and asking for donations.
The money came from individual faculty pledges
as well as contribution baskets which were placed
in the faculty lounges, Huber said.
