WSU is Wichita State University, in the flatlands of Kansas. We have an enrollment of about 13,000 students. We have about 200 students per semester roll though the introductory labs, and scheduled things so that no university labs are held on Fridays--that's when we have the high school students come on campus. 200 students per semester is "small numbers" for some places, but since we don't have "large numbers" and can free up a day, heck-- why not do something constructive? The key, was getting a Physics Alliance up and running, and then holding meetings at the high schools, with presentations by high school teachers. Once some people saw what the high school labs were like, and that it was really hard to teach physics with only one or two lab set ups and limited time, weeellll, why not have them come up to WSU? I expect next year I'll have to take reservations, but right now, all I need is a day or two notice, and bingo! the lab will be ready. C. W. Robertson
