Residency-law shifts hit students where they live
By Duane Wagler Kansan staff writer
Changes in residency requirements could help some University of Kansas students.
Marla Herron, assistant registrar, said that changes in the residency law affected the requirement that resident students be Kansas residents for one year.
She said that under the old law, if a student left Kansas to live elsewhere and then returned to the state within a year, the person would lose Kansas residency
Herron said that the new law, which was passed by the Legislature this year, would allow students to retain residency if they moved back to Kansas during
that year.
The old law unfairly penalized students because most states require a student to live in the state for a year to become a resident, she said.
Herron and fellow registrars at the six Regents universities meet twice a year to discuss issues such as residency.
"We all got together and discussed it and thought that it was unfair that people could lose their residency in one day and yet couldn't achieve residency in another state for a year," she said.
Richard Morrell, registrar, agreed with the Legislature's decision.
"It was a technicality in the law
that we thought was being a little unfair — and they changed it," he said.
The second change affects dependents with parents living in different states. Herron said that the old residency law stipulated that the Kansas-resident parent had to provide a majority of financial support for the dependent to gain residency.
Under the new regulation, however, Herron said that the dependent could get residency if one parent was a Kansas resident.
She said that the new regulation acknowledged the rising divorce rate.
"These laws need to keep up-to-date with the needs of the students," Herron said.

SHOWTIMES FOR TODAY ONLY
Although Lawrence pedestrians, bikers and bus riders cannot honk horns, they definitely are getting noticed.
Last night the Lawrence City Commission amended the city's portion of the state's comprehensive transportation proposal to include one more bicycle/pedestrian path.

The city's amendment must be approved by the Douglas County Commission.
The City Commission also voted unanimously to ask for increased state funds for mass transit in Lawrence.
intended sites for non-motorized vehicle paths. The list already includes the South Lawrence Trafficway, U.S. Highway 59 South and K-10 as intended sites.
"We want to connect Lawrence paths to other major paths for recreation and transportation." said Michael Young, interim transportation planner.
These paths eventually could connect to paths in Johnson County and Ottawa.
"Because the commission thinks local transit is a priority, we should definitely address it for the community and the University," said Mike Wildgen, city manager.
County and Topeka each get $4,000 for their transit systems," said Allen Black, KU professor of architecture and urban design. "We'd be eligible if we had a fixed transit system."
The state transit funds, derived from gasoline taxes, are allotted to cities with defined transit needs.
Although Lawrence has a smaller population than most of the recipient cities, Black said that the Lawrence Bus Company could qualify for state funds within five years because of the growing number of riders.
Teachers study writers at seminar
Spending most of July at an English seminar may not sound like a vacation, but receiving $2,450 to do so could be well worth it.
By Graham K. Johnson
Kansan staff writer
The seminar is a part of the NEH's Summer Seminars and
Fifteen school teachers from across the nation arrived in Lawrence Sunday to participate in a four-week seminar titled, "American Women As Writers: Wharton and Cather." The seminar is sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities, which is providing a grant of $2,450 to each participant for travel and living expenses. The seminar is being conducted on the University of Kansas campus by Janet Sharistian, professor of English.
Institutes School Teachers program, designed to help high school teachers enhance their knowledge during summer breaks.
Linda Wedge, an English teacher at Free State High School, said she had been looking forward to learning more about Willa Cather and Edith Wharton, both of whom are included in her American Literature class curriculum. She said the program was great for teachers.
Participants will meet at the Hall Center for the Humanities building until tomorrow for intensive study and discussion of one book per week. They will study four books,
"It's very worthwhile." Wedge said. "It helps all the teachers continue and extend their interests and studies. I was glad Newt Gingrich did not get to the NEH before the grants were cut."
two by Wharton and two by Cather. Sharistanian said that the seminar would focus on the similarities concerning gender roles, historical context and literary forms in the two authors, who were essentially contemporaries, though very different people.
The 15 teachers were selected from a pool of 45 applicants and come from diverse locations such as New Jersey and Seattle, said Janet Crow, executive director for the center.
Crow said she planned to introduce the group to local activities such as the Farmer's Market and concerts in South Park.
"Many of these people come from either coast, and they have not been exposed to some of the smaller town activities like the Farmer's Market, and they really like getting that flavor, that touch of Lawrence," Crow said.
