DIAL•A-LESSON University Park, Pa.—"lf you spent less time on the phone and more time with your studies, you'd be a better student" is a frequent parental lament. But students at The Pennsylvania Universi*y are spending more time on the phone and more time with their schoolwork too—and at the same time. As easily as one can "dial a prayer" or "dial for dollars," Penn State students can "dial a lesson" at special "phone booths" located throughout campus. An audio system devised by Listening-Learning Services allows students to "dial up" taped lectures, musical presentations, and medical advice at one of the 150 listening stations. Since the program was begun in July, 1969, approximately 725,000 calls have ben made by students, according to Willard M. Martin, director of Listening- Learning Services. Martin emphasizes that nearly half of the calls were made within the past year. The concept is simple. When a student dials the number assigned to the program he wants to hear, a computer at the control center sends the call to the appropriate program terminal. Within seconds, the student can hear the 1 • 44t• wow* lof 1 i our 2rilliani Win g alleclion LEAVES NO gone UNTURNED HOWARD'S Diamonds—Gifts—Jewelry—Luggage till 9:00 Open Weds. 34 W: Broad St. Hazleton presentation on high fidelity headsets. For some popular courses, time clocks are used to start the lesson tapes at preannounced times, some starting as often as ten times daily. The program offerings range from "instant replays" of lectures for students missing regular class sessions to professional counseling concerning certain personal problems. Listening stations are located in selected residence halls, fraternity houses, libraries, and classroom buildings. Stations are also now available at the Ritenour Health Center for students absent from classes due to illness. Martin points out that although the potential for such a system is great, there is a danger in overemphasizing technology. "To be sure, reliable equipment designed to serve a wide range of academic needs is essential, but the successful use of any dial , access system depends ultimately on the quality and relevance of software used on the system," he says. "Unless the tape recordings are carefully integrated with the program of instruction and testing, dial access will likely prove to be of limited educational value."
