Committee to analyze hourly tuition equity
Changing enrollment patterns at the University of Kansas were one reason for the formation last month of a committee to study fee discrepancies, according to Jerry Hutchison, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs.
"Historically, most students at the University were full-time, resident students. They tended to enroll in a full load." he said yesterday.
A student who takes six hours pays $14 an hour; a student who takes seven hours pays the full incident fee of $205, or slightly more than $29 an hour. After about 14 and one-half hours, the student hourly fee again approaches $14.
But because of the present economic situation and off-campus programs like Outreach, more students are enrolling part-time, he said.
Now, a student who takes between seven and 14 hours a semester pays more per credit hour than a student who takes either less than six hours or more than 14.
Although the student who takes between
seven and 14 hours pays more relatively
than other students, an arbitrary per-hour
would raise hourly rates for all students,
and the largest financial burden would be
borne by the part-time student, Hutchison
The present system might be the most equitable, he said.
The goal of the committee is to determine the best way to simplify the fee schedule without penalizing part-time students, Hutchison said.
"The committee wasn't formed to necessarily change" he said.
Even if the committee ffecommends a new fee schedule, it would eventually have to be approved by the Board of Regents. Hutton's group was asked to attend matters at their June meetings, he said.
Last fall, there were 2,430 undergraduate resident students taking between seven and 14 hours. There were 1,495 students taking course loads of six hours or less. Data on this fall's student course load is not yet available.
But, according to William Kelly,
associate dean of admissions and records,
enroll figures are fairly consistent
from year to year.
A application to sell beer in the Kansas Union will be mailed to the Lawrence City Commission by the end of this week, accounted to Burk Burge, director of the Kansas Union.
The committee is expected to meet within two weeks.
Application to be sent; beer sales begin soon
Burge said yesterday that he expected beer sales to begin in two weeks and that he didn't expect the sale of beer to create problems.
Burge said that he would recommend that beer be sold in the Prairie Room and in the bar.
Burge said that the student union at the University of Oklahoma had sold beer for $1.25 a pint.
He said he had just returned from a conference of Big Eight student union
managers and had discussed the issue with them.
Burge said that he would like to get student and administrators together to discuss the method of sale and the atmosphere in which beer would be sold.
Burge said he was pleased with the Board of Regents' decision to allow the Union to govern.

An additional foreman will be hired to provide closer supervision, and the staff will implement a safety program and develop specific work rules that will be enforced. Watson said. There are now two foremen, and there isn't a safety program.
Watson said that if the commission approved the changes and improvements, he thought it would be in the interest of the city to retain the private service.
McKinney said he thought the city should wait until he completed a study of the money he would need to save, money could be saved. He said that although the sanitation department had done an excellent job of keeping costs down, Mr. McKinney still existed where money was being wasted.
The study will take about 60 days, he said. Clark said that because the rate increase wouldn't go into effect until Jan. 1, there would be no conflict with McKinney's study.
He said he was pleased to keep the present system because the city would have more control of its own sanitation system. In addition, he said, he was worried that if a new city was brought into Lawrence, some of the city's sanitation employees might lose their jobs.
Commissioner Marnie Arngeringer said she also was pleased with the decision.
The University of Kansas might also want to use the city's waste products in the future, he said, and that could prove useful or for both the city and the University.
"There's been a tremendous improvement in sanitation pickup since May." The staff came from a change in attitude from the owners. Our trash is close to our hearts."
