Artificial intelligence is the topic of
an international conference sponsored
by NT’s Information Systems Research
Center Sunday through Tuesday in the
University Union.
Artificial intelligence is defined as
“a study of how to put human rea-
soning and learning in sensory and put
it into a computer,” said Dr. Richard
Vedder of the information systems
faculty. “We want to get a computer
to view the world using human senses
and see the world like a human.”
The purpose of the conference is
exploring the use of artificial intelligence
in business and industry. About 200
people are expected to attend. “People
are coming from as far away as Fin
Pre-law group meets
land.” Vedder said.
Representatives of American Airlines
Inc., Atlantic Richfield Co., IBM, J.C.
Penney Co., Frito-Lay Inc. and the
Southland Corp. will be among company
personnel attending. University teachers
are also invited.
Three speakers will give presentations
at the conference: Karl Wiig with
“Applied Artificial Intelligence and
Knowledge Technology”; Robert Flast
with "Al in the Financial Services
Industry"; and Takashi Gomi with
"The Sixth Generation: AI Directions
for the 1990s.”
The future looks bright for the field
of artficial intelligence, Vedder said.
“People are projecting that artificial
intelligence will dominate the entire
computer market by the year 2000.”
Vedder said.
Someday, with the help of artificial
intelligence, people will be able to talk
on a cellular phone in English and have
someone receive the call in Japanese.
Vedder said. Translaton of languages
is an example of technology in artific ial
intelligence.

T7ie North Texas Leadership Training Organization
aims to develop leadership skills in upperclassmen by
, ^ns^^ojar^^ei cseiiwm
Tuesday.
The purpose of the seminars is to give additional
leadership skills to upperclassmen who already have some
leadership experience.
NTLT member Edwin Young, Haslet senior, said the
seminars are targeted at upperclassmen, but any NT
student may attend. A similar program the group presented
earlier this semester, called the Emerging Leader Seminar,
was for freshmen and sophomores.
All four seminars are from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in University
Union 410. The registration deadline is today; students
may register in the Student Activities Center on the fourth
floor of the Union. There is a $2 registration fee.
Tuesday’s seminar features Kevin Jackson of Texas
A&M University. The topic is situational leadership.
The second seminar Oct. 18 will cover organizational
dynamics. Young said it will teach “targeting individual
goals of members (of an organization) toward group
goals." The guest speaker will be Kathy Rowe of
Southern Methodist University.
Theories of learning are the topic of the third seminar
on Oct. 25. Participants will be asked to complete short
forms that will help them see how they learn best.
Different people learn different ways. Young said.
“Some learn by doing, some by reading," he said.
In this seminar, given by Kevin Canruthers of Texas
A&M University, participants will “learn a better way
to lead people in the right direction.”
The final seminar Nov. 11 will cover organizational
communication. Young said this seminar will teach how
to communicate both within and outside of an organi-
zation. Dr. Greg Sawyer, assistant dean of students, will
conduct the fourth seminar.
lawyers at work. The group also invites
guest speakers to its bimonthly meetings.
NT does not offer a pre-law degree,
said the pre-law adviser. Dr. Frank
Feigert of the political science faculty.
“You should major in a discipline
that vitally interests you one that
would probably be your major even il
you were not going to law school later
"Students who are not sure of what
form of law they want to practice should
major in a social science or a human-
ities,” Feigert said "It you are
reasonably sure you would like to prac-
tice some form of business law, then
you should major in buviness admin
istration."

NT joins DISD's war on drugs
By Julie Hemby
Daily Reporter
The NT sociology department and the
Denton Independent School District arc-
conducting a survey to identify junior
high and senior high school stdents with
drug-related problems, a Denton ISD
administrator said.
The results of the five-year study,
which began during the spring, so far
have shown that 13- to 15-year-olds have
the most problems, because they are in
a transitional period between junior high
and high school, said Larry Mankoff,
coordinator of the Denton ISD Student
Association Program.
The school district compiles the data,
and the sociology department analyzes
it. The surveys take into account a
student’s age. race, home location and
answers to questions.
School administrators use the survey
results to gain a better understanding
of the problems facing students today,
Mankoff said.
“This helps administrators and
teachers identify a problem student,"
he said. "The Student Assistance
Program pays special attention to drop-
outs, students who may have drug or
alcohol problems and student, who
suffer from depression
"Mainly, the program works with
students sent to it by teachers who
suspect drug or alcohol abuse or have
discipline problems related to drug or
alcohol use "
The data NT has been asked to
evaluate is good material for u graduate
student working on a thesis or dis
sertation, Mankoff said
