Aid recipients must sign form verifying their draft status
By LAURA SOAP Staff Reporter
Students who expect to pick up federal financial aid checks this fall will be required to sign a statement that they have registered for the draft, Jerry Rogers, director of financial aid, said recently.
Although women are not required to register, Rogers said, they will have to sign a box on the form to verify that they are exempt.
Federal law requires all males who are 18 years old or older and were born after 1959 to be registered for the draft. $^4$Only federal financial aid programs will require signatures. Federal financial aid includes Pell Grants, Guaranteed Student Loans and federal work-study programs. About 4,500 KU students will have to sign the form, Rogers said.
IN LATE JUNE, Associate Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun said in an opinion that the 1982 law requiring financial aid to be prerequisite for financial aid was legal
The Supreme Court is expected to rule on the opinion within 17 months.
Some confusion existed about why
women had to sign the form, Rogers said. The financial aid office sent letters to students who were applying in order for women were required to sign the form.
Forms will be on hand at registration near the area where students pick up materials.
SEVERAL PEOPLE have already signed the form, he said. But they will be asked to sign the form again at registration so office workers will not have to spend hours sorting out the form and they have signed before and those who have not.
Rogers said the largest additional expense for his office occurred because the financial aid staff had to spend an average of $380 per student to Guaranteed Student Loan recipients.
The letters told the loan applicants that they had to sign the compliance form. Nearly $500 was spent on postage for that project, he said.
In addition, the financial aid office will be changing the way it handles the debt.
IN AN EFFORT to cut down on waiting time for students, the office will take appointments during all office hours. Romans said.
The appointment system will start Monday, he said.
Little change forecast in enrollment figures
Enrollment figures this fall are expected to be about the same as last fall's, the dean for educational services said yesterday, although an official count will not be available until students have paid their fees.
The 1982 fall enrollment on the Lawrence, Wichita and Kansas City campuses was 26,748. During the spring semester, enrolment on all three campuses was 24,400, including 22,371 at the Lawrence campus.
"The enrollment figure could fluctuate 100-200 students and there is never any reason," said Gil Dyck, dean of educational services. "I hate to give any specific numbers because they always fluctuate. Like last year, we had 1,000 enroll after field house enrollment.
IN THE SPRING, KU changed to computer enrollment. The new system speeded up enrollment, but it also required students and students seem to support it.
"But, it is like going to Capitol Federal or to the ZIP machine. If it goes down we can't do anything," he said. "We're not on slack time, if something happens."
Spring enrollment went well, he said, but some students will still have to wait in line in Strong Hall.
If the computers broke down, enrollment by the old method of pulling class cards would be impossible, he said. Returning to the old process would take more time than repairing the computers, he said.
"Many students just applied this week," Dyck said. "They have no schedule and no transcripts. They have a hard time finding classes."
STUDENTS WILL pay fees today and tomorrow, said Gary Thompson, director of student records and registration.
Thompson warned that those students who did not pay their fees on time would have their early enrolments canceled.
"That is the only way we can pick up a few more class spaces for students enrolling later," he said.
Students should go first to HCO Auditorium to pick up fee cards, then should go to the Kansas Union to pay fees.
