Add-drop system to change
Appointments could replace long, slow lines for adding and dropping classes next week if a new course adjustment system works as planned, a KU administrator said recently.
"We needed a better way for students to drop and add without having to physically spend a lot of time in lines," said Gary Thompson, director of student records.
During past semesters, students who were adding and dropping classes stood in crowded lines as they waited to adjust schedules.
Students needing to adjust schedules this week will be able to get an appointment card tomorrow that will specify the time and date they should be at the enrollment center to change courses, Thompson said.
"What this should do is to allow each student to hold his place in line without physically being there to do so," he said.
"I recognize that there will be probably a line to pick up a card," he said, "but it should go very quickly.
Students can schedule 20-minute appointments for tomorrow and Wednesday by picking up cards at a
table after 7:30 a.m. tomorrow outside 113 Strong Hall.
If a student is unable to attend the assigned appointment, Thompson said, the student can exchange his name with either one at a designated second table.
About 6.000 appointment cards are to be distributed tomorrow.
"If a lot of people show up Tuesday morning, we could hand them all out by mid-morning." Thompson said.
About 9,000 more cards are to be issued beginning 7:30 a.m. Thursday for add/drop appointments on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
In addition to avoiding long lines, Thompson said, the new system may improve the system of the notification of instructors about changes in their class rosters.
Instructors will receive a computer listing of students in their courses after the first three days of classes and again after six days, Thompson said.
He said the appointment cards would help students by reminding them to obtain dean's stamps, adviser's signatures and special permission slips if necessary.
Snail darter thrives; dam called a failure
By United Press International
ATLANTA - The snail darter, the 3-inch-long fish that "singlefinedly" held up construction of the Tellio Dam for two years and cost the mighty Tennessee Valley Authority millions of dollars, is having the last laugh.
Federal wildlife officials said recently that the tiny perch, which environmentalists claimed might be wiped out if the dam was built, is doing so well that it may soon be taken off the list of endangered species.
The dam, however, has failed miserably to fulfill its promise as an economic godsend to eastern Tennessee.
Environmentalists opposed to the construction of the $137-million dam on the Little Tennessee River discovered the snail darter along a 17-mile stretch of the river while searching for ways to halt the dam in the 1970s.
THE TVA HAD spent almost $100 million and had completed 80 percent of the Telico project in 1978 when the Supreme Court ordered construction halted because the snail darter was endangered.
manager. TVA workers began laboriously
transplanting the fish to other rivers around the Tennessee Valley.
Finally, Senate Majority Leader Howard Baker of Tennessee and Rep. John Duncan, R-Renn, managed to have the Tellico project exempted from the tax code, including the Indians gered Species Act. , and the dam was completed in 1979.
TVA SAID THE dam would bring economic prosperity to a poor region of the country and lure industry to the area. But, now completed, the dam does not provide any electrical generation has failed to attract any industry.
Marshall Jones of the endangered species section of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Atlanta said that snail darters were thriving in the Hiwasee River in Tennessee and the Washoe River in California, which been found in Chickamauga Creek near Chattanooga, Teen., and Paint Rock Creek in north Alabama.
"We have published a notice in the Federal Register that we are considering reclassifying the snail darter." Jones said. "We are taking comments until Sept. 19 and it looks like we have enough information to reclassify it."
