More parents attend
By MARTHA BRINK Staff Reporter
More parents of KU students than ever before are coming to KU's sum-mor orientation this year. Linda Thinno, director of admissions, said yesterday.
This summer 2,300 parents are registered to participate in one of the 15 sessions, 300 more than last summer.
Even though the number of parents has increased, Thompson said she expected no significant rise in the rate of student absences. 3,200 students have registered to attend.
"Parents are taking more of an active role," Thompson said.
ONE REASON FOR the increase, she said, is that it is more socially acceptable for parents to take part in their children's activities. Also parents from previous years have spread the word that orientation is worthwhile.
Another factor is the tight economy and high tautomation costs, Loyal Ulmer, and other factors.
"Most parents want to know where their money is being spent." she said.
Although most students come from Kansas, last year 682 visited from out of state. The University provides housing for students. Call Sellaway Pearson Residence Hall
During orientation parents and students do not follow the same schedules because of their different needs, Thompson said. Parents are concerned with the problems and uncertainty of sending a child away from home.
However, the students' program is aimed at easing the transition from high school to college, she said.
During the morning parents meet with academic deans and with representatives from the division of student affairs.
After lunch they learn about housing financial aid and the health center at an information fair.
TOURS OF THE CAMPUS, the Museum of Natural History and the Spencer Museum of Art are also provided.

Students' morning sessions include meetings with staff members from the division of student affairs and student leaders.
Parents also ask practical questions about safety, he said, and are often concerned about whether there is night bus service.
In the afternoon they talk to their advisers and enroll in classes for the fall semester.

DeRoin said he joked with students and told them to leave room in their schedules for soap operas.
"I tell them to keep in mind that they're not alone in their anxieties; others feel the same," Marla Prather, Salina graduate student, said.
Both parents and students attend the welcoming program and luncheon in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
There will be four more orientation sessions: July 11, 14, 16 and 18.
