Distributed enrollment questions to be answered
Kansan staff writer
By Colleen McCain
Although distributed enrollment will not be coming to a computer near you until April, University Registrar Richard Morrell wants to begin answering students' questions about the process now.
Distributed enrollment, which should be a reality for students enrolling in summer and fall classes in 1995, will allow students to enroll by computer at several campus locations.
To quell students' fears about the new sys-
term, Morrell has opened an e-mail account to answer students' questions. Any student may send his or her questions about distributed enrollment to Morrell at this e-mail address: DE@ST37.EDS.UKANS.EDU.
"Almost everyone knows someone who has e-mail," Morrell said. "There is a level of anxiety about distributed enrollment, and this is one way to provide students with information. This is not an answer for everyone, but the recognition is that a lot of students have access to e-mail and would benefit from this."
With distributed enrollment, each student will be given an enrollment start time, and the
student then can enroll at any time after his or her start time at a campus computer or a personal computer. Morrell said that students had concerns about where they could enroll and about enrolling by themselves.
"There are a lot of details to know about distributed enrollment, and everything we can do to answer questions will help ease the transition," he said. "The timetable next semester will have an explanation of distributed enrollment, and the e-mail account also will help us know what students are wondering."
Brenda Selman, assistant registrar, said other efforts were being made to increase
"During enrollment this semester, we had a banner posted, and we gave outliers about distributed enrollment to alert students that there will be a change." Selman said.
awareness about distributed enrollment.
Selman said the registrar's office would continue to inform students about the new system in the coming months by putting up posters and holding demonstrations.
Change often scares people, but what's scary is the unknown," Selman said. "We're letting people know what's coming so that their fears are lessened."
Sex class will bloom in spring
By Ashley Miller

But not at KU.
Students interested in taking Dennis Dalley's class, Human Sexuality in Everyday Life, next semester still will be able to do so.
Ecumenical Christian Ministries,
1204 Oread, will offer the class in
the spring, and Dailey will teach it
for no credit.
The class, offered in nine sessions,
will begin Feb. 1, and it will meet
Wednesdays from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
There will be a $25 fee, which will
pay Dalley's honoraria, the utilities
and advertising, said Thad
Holcombe, pastor for ECM.
He said that the ECM approached
Dailey after it knew the class was not being offered next semester at KU.
"We took the initiative," Holcombe said. "We knew Dr. Dalley would have time, and we think we can handle 200 people."
Dennis Dalley
Dailey, professor of social welfare said the class at ECM would cover most of the topics regularly offered, but there would be no tests or required readings.
"My primary motive was that I had a lot of seniors contact me saying this spring would be their last chance," Dalley said. "It's an important course for students to have."
Although Holcombe said that he would like ECM to offer the class again if it was a success, Dalley said that he would not teach it again.
"I would like the University to offer the class," he said.
Heather Milligan, Springfield, Mo,
junior, was a member of the
ministry's leadership team that consulted
with Dalley about teaching the
class. The team of four or five
students is responsible for planning
activities at ECM.
In offering the class, the ministry was concerned whether students would be interested in a no-credit class, Milligan said.
Miligan said that she also planned to take Dailey's class at ECM.
The class at ECM also will be more informal, which was what the group wanted. Milligan said.
"It's a subject that really needs to be discussed, and a lecture doesn't really facilitate discussion sometimes," she said.
Milligan said that she also was looking forward to the class because of its reputation as one of the best classes offered at KU.
"When we were talking about it, Dr. Dailey said that he didn't want to leave out what he would put in the lecture," she said.
Those interested in taking the class can register at the ECM center until Feb. 1.

KU students form singing group, cut record

The a capella men's singing group 8:1, formally Eight Men Out, will begin recording with Black Tie Productions, 509 Shoal Lane, in December and will release the disc in March.
A group of current and former KU students that got its start singing to passersby in the Strong Hall rotunda, soon will be recording a compact disc.
"We are all ready for the CD," said Billy Davis, Topeka junior and a tenor in the group. "This will give us something to always hold on to."
"We got a great response from the crowd," said Andy Ramaley, Lawrence resident and a bass in the group. "So we decided to form a group to sing for fun."
The group began singing in December of 1992 at a Kiwanis Club meeting.
Ramaley said that in the beginning, the group sang because of its interest in singing.
"It was fun," he said. "We had no expectations of honoring professional singers."
Ramaley said that the group's popularity required it to hire a manager in March.
"We just kept getting more calls for us to do gigs," he
he said. Now they have to contact our manager. The group has performed at many high profile gigs throughout the region. Some of those include performing for President Clinton in Independence, Mo., singing the National Anthem at both a Royals and Chiefs game and performing at the Thanksgiving Country Club Plaza Lighting Ceremony in Kansas City, Mo.
said "It was in our best interest to get a manager."
Dr. Reed said that a manager must be led to used to
"People used to contact us when they wanted us to sing," he said. "Now they have to contact our manager."
giving occasion to in the group, Bud Anderson, Lawrence senior and a tenor in the group, said that the most interesting gig the group had ever performed was a Harvest Jubilee in Ethel, Mo.
"We drove three hours to see horsefeet that were as big as our fists," Anderson said. "And the parade was about a block long."
"It doesn't matter if we're in front of 75,000 people at a Chiefs game or 100 people in front of a harvest jubilee," he said. "We look at everything as another gig."
But Anderson said that the group always performed with the same energy no matter the crowd's size.
Ramaley said that he didn't get as nervous anymore. "I used to get nervous when we sang at Strong Hall," he said. "But now I'm over it."
