KU to start mail-in fee payment program in fall
By Jenny Martin Kansan staff writer
Fall 1992 will mark the first time KU students will not have to stand in line to pay tuition and fees.
A new mail-in fee payment program will begin this semester.
Rich Morrell, KU registrar, said yesterday that the system would be advantageous to students and the University of Kansas.
Students will not have to return to campus until classes begin, and the University will be able to plan class sizes sooner, he said.
"The University will know who's coming and who's not by the first part of August," Morrell said. "We will get to know the minor adjustments to class offerings."
"I hate to see these students standing in line. Plus, if they don't have to return until classes start, they can spend more time on their summer jobs."
During main enrollment in April, students will register their summer address, receive a fee assessment and
be given a payment due date. By mid-
July, enrolled students will receive a
bill that will be due by the first week of
August. Students who miss the deadline
will have their enrollment dropped.
Residual enrollment will no longer exist. Students who do not enroll during main enrollment will be charged a $10lute fee.
"We want to make it advantageous for students to go through the main enrollment process." Morell said.
A committee of administrative staff members began developing the mail-in fee payment plan in 1245.
The plan is the third phase of a threepart project the committee developed Morrell said.
The first phase computerized fee assessments. The second phase consolidated University billings and financial aid.
Linda Mullens, assistant vice chancellor for student affairs and a member of the committee, said financial aid would be applied to the new bills.
*Applying for financial aid early is critical, "she said.
The earlier financial aid is applied for, the sooner the University can determine the balance of the bill, she said.
Mullens said the plan also would aid class planning.
"I think it will be highly beneficial to the academic sector, knowing ahead of time the number of people enrolled in such programs or of sections needed." Mullens said.
Del Shankel, interim executive vice chancellor, said that at the start of the semester class rosters often included students who had enrolled but were not returning to the University. With mail-in fee payment, those students' enrollment will have been dropped by early August.
"I think it will free up classes some what," he said. "It won't be a total solution, but it will help."
Paige Wilson, Nashville, Tenn., freshman, said the new plan would save time and money.
"I'm from out of state, and I'd rather not wait around a whole week for classes to start," she said.
Providing legal advice to inmates appeals to Defender Project interns
Kansanstaffreport
Kelly Jernigan, Lawrence third-year law student, will go to the federal pentitement in Port Leavenworth, today.
Jernigan is involved with the Defender Project, a program that provides free legal services to prisoners who cannot afford attorneys. The project, which is run locally by the School of Law, has been in operation for 27 years.
Jernigan said he thought the project was important to the entire legal process.
"The type of work we do is a necessary function," he said.
"A lot of these people wouldn't have anyone else to take their cases."
Paul Wilson, professor emeritus of law administration,
said that he started the Defender Project in 1965.
"When I first started the program, people thought that it was a harebrained scheme and that it would never succeed," he said.
Tom Stacy, associate professor of law and co-director of the project, said students involved with the project took about 70 cases a year.
For the first time this year, every student will take on a direct appeal, he said.
Stace said that in addition to unlawful imprisonment cases involving constitutional issues, students represented prisoners going before the parole commission. Other cases
involve divorces or name changes. he said.
Stacy said few prisoners successfully challenged their convictions.
Students involved with the project have to be second- or third-year law students. They receive three credit hours for their work on the project and one credit hour for the class that accompanies it.
David Gottlieb, professor of law administration, is the codirector of the program and along with Stacy, meets with the 21 students weekly to review cases.
Gottlieb said financing for the project was provided by the KU School of Law, Kansas Legal Services, the U.S. Bureau of Prisoners and the U.S. Department of Education.
Sally Howard-Clayton, Lawrence second-year law student, said the project was a great experience.
"We're working with real law," Howard-Clayton said. "It's scary and I'm sure errors have been made, but it's nice to know someone with a lot of experience will oversee your work and correct it. It's not just your call."
Howard-Clayton said that working on the project helped dispel myths she had about prisons and prisoners.
"I was really surprised that things weren't more like the movies," Howard-Clayton said. "Everything was so informal. I was never afraid because they seemed so happy to see us. To some, we represented their only hope."
