Board raises fare 10 cents for bus riders
Starting this summer, people without a bus pass will have to pay 50 cents to ride a KU on Wheels bus instead of the current 40 cent fare.
Melanie Branham, University of Kansas Transportation Board chairman, said that the board had voted at its meeting last night to raise the cash fare for bus rides. The cost of bus passes will remain at $30 for summer and fall.
In other items on the agenda, the board voted to eliminate the Trailridge and Meadowbrook bus routes during the summer. Both routes would be reinstated in the fall
Branham said the board also had voted to add Jayhawk West Apartments, 509 Fireside Road, to the Trailridge bus route beginning this fall. The bus stop for Trailridge Apartments, 2500 W. 60th St., would be changed from Schwartz Road to the corner of Mesa Way Street and Frontier Road beginning in the first, Branham said.
The board also voted to run the route that goes from Daisy Hill to campus to downtown ( twice each hour during the summer.

frequent trips across the street to the Laundromat.
Every day, a tide of about 300 to 400 of the students flock to the landmark Laundromat to buy snacks from the candy and non machines.
"I get a kick out of coming here because I'm an atheist," said Jay Walburn, Lawrence High senior.
as soon as students from the first lunch period go back to class, a second cycle of students starts lining up at the Coke machine.
"I get a lot of the renegades from over at the high school." Everett said, "but yet I have an excellent rapport with them, because I have been in their shoes."
EVERETT SAID he had spent $2,000 a week on cocaine before becoming a born-again Christian four years ago. Now he's hooked on Jesus — not drugs.
"If there is any way I can shed any possible light on their lives and make them think it's not as bad, then my being here has been well accomplished."
Everett said he occasionally became agitated because the students were messy with their phones.
"I have trash cans for trash and ashtrays for ashes," he said. "And I wish people would learn what they are for."
Whenever there is any static among the students, Everett tactfully breaks up the squabble and shoes them out the door, said Tracy McGaugh, Lawrence High senior.
"He's a real cool dude," he said.
Even though the Laundromat attracts large numbers of high school students and is not supervised in the evening, Everett said vandalism was only a minor problem.
"It's because when I leave, Jesus is here watching over the place," he said.
In spite of the sign, many of the Jesus Laundromat's customers come to the store.
"I come here because it's close," Hudson said.
He said that one summer day as his clothes spun and he summed, a man asked whether Jesus was inside washing his drawers.
I went to the Bible School.
Steve Nelson, Stanley senior, said he,
too, came to the Jesus Landromat because
it was convenient.
"I went in and checked," he said.
Despite his success. Everett said, he doesn't want to stay in the Laundromat business.
"I don't want to be what I call a Laundromat executive for the rest of my life."
Enroll continued from p. 1
October by Robert P. Cobb, executive vice chancellor, to review the effectiveness of computer enrollment with the goal of improving it.
THE LEARNING PROCESS associated with computer enrollment sometimes leads to complaints. Some students have trouble understanding the system. Because of the confusion, professors say, they must spend extra time explaining it.
Arno Napper, professor of business, says a typical student spends "about 20 minutes in my office for advising, untold amounts of time reading the Timetable and about two hours standing in line at the enrollment center."
But, he enrolls, enrollment takes considerably less time for students who understand the requirements and prerequisites and who miss the long lines.
Some professors say enrollment would work better if the computer system could keep a list of students who try to enroll in closed classes.
"Right now, when a course closes, the computer doesn't keep any record of the number of students who want into that course." Shulen burger says. "That makes it difficult for a department or school to add another section, because we don't know if there was one student or 40 students who didn't get in."
BROWER BURCHILL, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs and chairman of the Enrollment Study Committee, says a waiting list can be built into the system by fall.
Along with complaints about the "dehumanized" computer enrollment system, some professors say they spend too much time advising students in the middle of the semester so they can go through early enrollment. Before computerized enrollment, professors advised students before the start of classes each semester.
GARY THOMPSON, director of student records and registration, says, "People complain about advising during April. We're not doing that because of the enrollment system, we're doing it because we're enrolling during April."
Dennis Quinn, professor of English, says,
"It is just not convenient to advise when we still have to concentrate on exams and papers for our regular classes. We are asked to drop everything for advising and extra appointments, yet the time we are able to give is sometimes not adequate."
