Official savs familiarity eases enrollment
By JOEL THORNTON Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
Enrollment for the fall semester began yesterday without incident, and should run smoothly because students are more familiar with it, Gary Thompson, director of enrollment, said.
Students filtered in and out of the enrollment center in Strong Hall in five-minute intervals, often without a wait.
"I's just off to a good start," Thompson said. "I think things will go better, not that last semester's enrollment was bad, but, that students are picking up on strategies. That strategy do as well as you can the first time."
Scheduled enrollment will continue until April 27, although the final make-up period will last until April 30. The add-drop period has been short to two days, April 28 and 28. Last week, the add-drop period lasted a week.
THOMPSON SAID THE shorter add-drop period would not cause students any problems. Fewer students will probably go through add-drop this semester, he said, because they will be better prepared for their enrollment.
"We're not expecting huge lines," he said. "Add-drops usually move pretty rapidly."
Students in the College picked up their enrollment materials March 28 and 29.
Thompson said that the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences' decision to have students pick up their enrollment in two days helped speed up enrollment.
"I've had feedback from faculty members and some seem to be pleased with the advising programs," Thompson said. "I think students are getting started a little earlier. You won't hit their advisers for appointments so late."
Thompson also said that a new method of scheduling should reduce crowding at the end of each enrollment
day. Students who miss their scheduled enrollment can enroll only from 3:30 to 4:20 p.m. on the day of their scheduled enrollment or from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. the following Saturday.
LAST SEMESTER, STUDENTS who missed their scheduled time could enroll from 3:30 to 4:20 any day afterward, he said, which caused a lot of crowding late in the day.
Departments can then decide whether they need to add or delete class
Thompson said he did not know which classes students could have difficulty enrolling in. However, he said, the enrollment center would send messages twice a week to various departments in the University to let them know which classes were filling up rapidly or slowly.
In the old enrollment at Allen Field House, Thompson said, departments would not know whether they needed more time to announce卸役 enrollment a slimset over.
Several students who enrolled yesterday said they encountered few problems.
Geoff Decker, Edwardsville junior,
said, "I was quite pleased this year. I
was finally among the first to enroll. I
walked right in and right out."
HE SAID THAT HE had trouble enrolling in the classes he wanted last semester, and had to go through add-drop before he finally got a satisfactory schedule.
"I don't think it was well advertised enough as compared to last semester," he said.
Pat Jones, Lawrence junior, said he thought computerized enrollment was a lot better than the old enrollment at Allen Field House. He said, however, he thought some students were confused about when to enroll this semester.
Natalie Stephenson, Wichita senior,
said she had less difficulty in enrolling
yesterday than last semester, when she
would now be one of the business
classes she wanted.
KUAC board to discuss 1984 budget
The University of Kansas Athletic Corporation board will meet today to discuss the athletic budget for fiscal year 1984, which may provide for a 21.6 percent increase over last year's budget.
The athletic department has projected overall income and expenses at about $5.1 million. The proposed 21.6 percent increase would be the largest increase in the budget in at least four years.
The board will meet at 4 p.m. in the Southeast Lounge of the Frank R. Burge Union.
The KUAC board is a 24-member advisory group to the athletic department composed of faculty, alumni and representatives. It meets every two months.
The increase in the proposed budget over last year is because of significant increases in allotted scholarship money and an increased budget of the football program.
The board members, who received copies of the proposed budget last week for review, will discuss the proposal decide whether to recommend any changes.
THE REMAINING BUDGET is based on a 4 percent increase in salaries and a 7 percent increase in operating expenses.

If approved, the budget will be sent to
"IM PLEASED to be elected to the board and hope that we can have an amicable and productive program." Crockett said yesterday.
He also said that he would ask the board to support the reinstalment of freshman ineligibility and that he would also begin training off-the-field conduct of KU athletes.

comment, but he said last week that he was troubled that education at the University had been placed second to athletics.
Del Brinkman, chairman of the KUAC board, said, "I know both of them well. They'll represent the faculty well on the board. I'm pleased that they'll be joining us to handle the important matters of athletics."
Yetman received the most votes in the election with 110, and Crockett pleaded guilty.
Yetman could not be reached for

ASK to survey students on lobbying, KU issues
The KU delegation of the Associated Students of Kansas will conduct a student opinion telephone survey tonight and tomorrow to measure student support for ASK and various student issues.
By SARA KEMPIN Staff Reporter
Scott Swenson, campus director for ASK, said that about 16 ASK delegates would do a survey at random of about 2 percent of the students at the University of Florida. The survey supported various issues that affected them and the way ASK operated.
ASK leaders said yesterday that they hoped that the survey would clear up some of the controversy surrounding the organization.
"But if the poll is negative, it wouldn't invalidate ASK," he said. "It would just show us we have to do a better job."
Swenson said the survey would include five questions:
*Do you support the proposed $15 academic services fee?*
- Which issue is more important to you, tuition, student jobs, allocation of tuition at Board of Regents schools or social issues?
- Should ASK be involved in lobbying for social issues such as the Equal Rights Amendment and raising the drinking age?
- Do you think student money should be spent to represent student views in the Legislature (through ASK or another lobbying organization)?
*Would you support taking ASK out of the student activity fee and starting a 75-cent campus privilege fee to finance the organization?
Swenson said he thought it was important that ASK know what KU students thought of the organization.
He said that although it was important to determine student support for ASK and to promote the organization, what group was the group's main objective.
Mark Tallman, executive director of ASK, said he thought the survey would be beneficial.
Pollas are sometimes not representative of the feelings of most students, he said. Many people respond without knowing what they are being asked, he said.
SOME STUDENTS HAVE criticized ASK for being so close to the campus student senates that ASK is unwilling to adjust to change, he said. But this poll shows that ASK is open to change and modifications, Tallman said.
"The poll will identify our strengths and weaknesses so we can work"
Charles Lawnh, chairman of the Senate Student Services Committee, said, "The closer ASK gets to the students, the more effective it can be."
The average student doesn't seem to be aware of ASK and what ASK is doing, he sniffs. If the survey is going to ASK she should do more polls to get student opinion.
Lisa Ashner, student body president,
said the survey might dispel some of
the controversy that has surrounded
ASK in the past.
The survey will let them know whether the policies they have started are working, she said, so that if students don't think ASK is doing a good job, it can change its tactics.
Museum director to be named
The new director of the Helen Foresman Spencer Museum of Art may be named by the end of the week, or by the search committee said yesterday.
director of the museum and member of the search committee.
Four finalists being considered for the new director of the art museum are visiting the campus this week.
The candidates will meet with University administrators, faculty from the art history department, museum staff and the search committee, said Doug Tilghman, assistant
The finalists, whose names are being kept confidential during the selection process, were chosen from 27 applicants. The search committee will submit a list of three persons from the four to Deanell Tacha, vice chancellor for academic affairs, who will make a decision at the end of this week.
Exams Have You OUT on a Limb?
The new director will begin around July 1 and will probably have a joint appointment as a professor of art history.
