Kelly said that during enrollment students were furnished with a form on which they could make suggestions to improve the enrollment process. He said that he personally read all of the suggestions and implemented them. He also saved the others for future use.

Tickets in the form of "Big Eat" label buttons are on sale for $2 each at several off-campus locations near the Kansas Union.
"ONE OF THE most common suggestions is that we implement computerized enrollment and pre-electronly enrollment. Kelly said the near future. We just need more time and more money to develop it. We're taking one step at a time, so that when we do it, we will do it as well." We also want an improvement in next semester's enrolment procedure."
The green computer cards, obtained in the past before he was born, are filled out by students, will no longer be used he said. He instead, a student will pick up a student card and give it information about him already printed on the sheet. A student will need only to correct errors on his cards.

Kelly, who is interested in student suggestions and reaction, said that his door was always open to students who wanted to come in to talk about enrollment or any other academic problems.
Kelly returned to KU to earn his doctorate degree in music. In 1982 he became 'assistant professor' and 1988 he was named registrar.
Although his responsibilities as registrar take up much of his
time, Kelly said that he was deeply interested in music and tried to take part in music in actually in the jazz and concert fields.
