Not all KU out-of-staters can gain residency
Bv DEB MILLER
Staff Writer
It takes time and true desire by out-of-
state students attending the University of
Kansas.
For the 1975 fall semester, 4,739 of 23,941 KU students were out of the state; and this semester the number is 4,744 of 22,796. Most of the out-of-staters come from Missouri and other neighboring states. The smallest group comes from the East Coast.
William Kelly, associate dean of admissions and records, said recently he forewarn no trend toward an increasing number of out-of-state students at KU.
"Their number increases proportionately as KU's enrollment increases." he said.
Tuition is $638 a semester, compared with
$288 for in-state students. This amount
will increase as the semester advances.
"IT USUALLY depends on the area," Kelly said. "For instance, the University of
Colorado's out-of-state tuition is higher than KU's. A larger number of students apply
About 400 out-of-state students a semester apply for Kansas residency.
James Henry, assistant registrar of admissions and records, estimated that about 40 per cent of the applicants actually obtain residency.
"Most are turned down because they cannot prove complete financial investment."
IN ADDITION TO being financially independent, students must be able to prove that they've physically resided in Kansas and have completed their education immediately before enrollment or re-enrollment), have relied on in-state sources for financial support and have done so without obtaining student ID.
The last factor includes having a Kansas driver's license, voting and registering in
"It isn't easy to establish residency," he stressed. "It takes more than financial need. It takes a lot of dedication and a real desire to become a Kansas."
W. Henry said this was the most important factor.
Students should apply three weeks before enrollment to obtain a decision by May 1.
Kansas, paying taxes in Kansas—in short,
living here.
Students wishing to apply should pick up a copy of the regulations and an application in the Office of Admissions and Records. Their case will be reviewed by the University Residence Committee, headed by Mike Davis, University General Counsel.

International week-long festival at McCollum to celebrate Asia
Marie Faust, St. Louis senior, recently gained Kansas residency.
Indigo batiks, Asian fabrics, rugs and brasswork are just a few of the things that can be seen at the McColum Hall International Festival display set up to celebrate "Asia Week," beginning today in McColum.
"The program is really a cooperative effort between the foreign students at McCollim, and the other residents of the dorm," Deborah Francisco of the Office of the Dean of Foreign Students said yesterday.
Tonight, India and Pakistan will be celebrated, and a cooking school for Thailand.
THE PROGRAM for each week includes different countries' menus nightly in the city.
Gayle McBeth, McCollum social chairman, said the festival had been planned so that four different areas of the world could be recognized in a program every other week.
"We try to have a cooking school nightly," McBeth said. "They are designed to give the participants new recipes and bring in the good of the country that is being recognized."
The cafeteria also prepares a native meal each night, in which cooks are advised by foreign students on how to prepare the meals correctly, she said.
All the cooking schools are held during dinner so that the students can eat the meals they've prepared, McBeth said. She added that all the classes were informal and that the students could get a lot of individual help in preparing the meals.
TOMORROW, Hong Kong, Korea and Japan will be celebrated and a Thai slide show will be presented. A continuation of the Thai cultural presentation plus a Vietnamese celebration is planned for Thursday.
The week of festivities will end Friday when all of Asia will be recognized.
The program focuses on four main areas of the world: Latin America, the Middle
East, Asia and Africa, and it involves as many foreign countries and students as possible.
The festival was planned entirely by McCollum residents, McBeth said, and it has no connection with the KU International Club.
"The idea was proposed to the Pearson Trust Fund by the dorm residents and we were funded $3,080 for the activities," she said.
"ASIA WEEK!" is the third in the festival series, McBeth said, and both the Latin
American and Middle Eastern celebrations were successful.
"The other weeks were very well accepted by the dorm residents," she said. "Everybody seemed to enjoy participating in new things from the different countries."
The Latin American week included a
Latin party and Latin American music and
art.
"The most successful part of the Middle Eastern week was the belly dancing," McBeth said. "The main entertainment for the event was dancing and a disco for the dorm residents."

To obtain residency, Faust said she did everything in Kansas.
"I had no support from home. I bought my car here. I voted here. I got my insurance here. I live and worked here in the summer. I was even hospitalized here," he said.
"I decided just to see what would happen," she said. "But surprisingly it was the only place I applied to that didn't charge for application. I also liked the occupational therapy department, I wanted to travel and I was accepted into a scholarship hall."
Laura Lee Charlton Heights, W. Va,
sured, said she applied to KU at first as
a freshman.
MARK BLZJACK, Tulsa sophomore, also came for the occupational therapy department. And he got a partial scholarship.
Bigjack, however, doesn't plan to apply for Kansas residency.
"I really like it here and I'm definitely coming back next year," he said.
"I run a small business in Tulsa and I'll be there during the summers."
Sainan Trainer, Middletown, R.I., freshman, came to KU for both academic and
"I came here for the School of Journalism," he said. "The William Allen White School of Journalism has a good reputation on the East Coast."
"I'm glad I'm here. The pace is slower and it's worth the out-of-state bullets," she said.
DR. RONALD J. KOEHN Chiropractor
Dana Sullivan, Louisville, Ky., freshman,
originally came to KU for the School of
Business at the University of Illinois.
STILL, SOME OUT-OF-STATE students find their loyalty remains at home.
"Basically, I like it here," Sullivan said. "But I plan to transfer. I'm not really worried about that." He touches the social side is great. But the Middle West experience has been very pleasing."
