New forms burden offices
By ANNE FITZGERALD Staff Reporter
Changes in foreign students' visa applications may benefit the federal government, but they are burdening the University of Kansas, the director of KU's office of foreign students said this week.
"The government will benefit," said Clark Coan, the director, "but it won't."
The changes include the transition code numbers to certificates of eligibility that American schools must furnish to the federal government before it will issue visas to foreign students.
Adding the code numbers will enable the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service to gather information in a central system about foreign students studying at American colleges and universities, Coan said.
NEW FORMS REFLECTING the changes will be available May 2, and once they arrive, the added burden on the University probably will ease, he
In the meantime, the University is revising old forms to include the information sought by the federal government. Coan said.
And that ties up time and resources
not only in his office but also in the office of admissions and the Applied English Center, he said.
One of the three offices must submit revised forms to the district immigration office in Kansas City, Mo. for newly admitted foreign students or foreign students who leave the country for any period of time, Coan said.
His office had to revise 350 forms for students leaving the country during spring break, he said, and he estimated that several hundred revisions would be needed for students leaving the country during the summer.
JAMES STINSON, ASSISTANT director of the office of admissions, said that his office would have to revise forms for about 150 foreign students who had been admitted to the University for the fall semester.
Stinson said that his office would be as strapped as many others in the University even without the additional paperwork.
Elizabeth Soppela, director of the Applied English Center, agreed that more paperwork added only strain to the offices involved.
the office would have to revise 109 forms now and a smaller number during the summer.
students are in the country at any one time."
"The big problem with INS," Stinson said, "is that their records are so bad that they don't know who the foreign
In the long run, he said, the government stands to gain because it will no longer have to rely upon individual schools for that information as it has in the past.
as it has in the paper.
COAN SAID THAT gathering the information in a central system by using the code numbers would make the government's record-keeping more efficient.
But the cost of greater governmental efficiency, for now at least, is being borne by University offices that allow them to work as they can handle, Coan said.
Coun said that he thought the changes grew out of the Iranian crisis when the Carter administration threatened to expel all Iranian students from the university.
UNITA States.
"They found out that the immigration service didn't have much in the way of lists of foreign students in this country," Coan said. "They didn't know who the foreign students were."
It will take at least three or four years for the centralized system to be in place, Coan said. The government will then be able to monitor foreign students more closely, he said, especially when they transfer schools or drop out without notifying immigration officials.
Four new scholarship hall directors have been selected for next year, and assistant residence hall directors and resident assistants will be chosen by next week, residential programs officials said yesterday.

Chiff said the process of selecting the directors began in February, when the office received 15 applications for the positions.
SHE SAID APPLICANTS were then interviewed by a committee, which included herself and the outgoing directors.
The committee selected five of the applicants to be interviewed by each hall. The halls then submitted their top three choices to ORP.
Cliff said that she and Fred Mc-

McElbenie said scholarship hall directors were paid about $4,300 and room and board for 10 months.
Assistant residence hall directors are paid about $3,300 and room and board for a 10-month period, he said.
MeElhenni also said that his office originally had 220 applicants for 47 assistant hall directors and resident assistants.

McElhene said resident assistants were given room and board and a stipend of about $75 a month.
Glickman to stay out of Senate race
By United Press International
WICHTA — Rep Dan Glickman, D-Kan, announced yesterday he would not run against Republican Sen. Nancy Kassebaum in 1984 because he did not want to risk losing his congressional seat.
A few weeks ago, Glickman employed a Washington polling firm to evaluate his own strengths and weaknesses and those of Kassebaum. He told a news conference in Wichita, "it is clear that she (Kassebaum) is a very popular person in the state.
However, Glickman said he would be looking at other races in 1986
possibly the governorship or the seat of Republican Sen. Robert Dole.
be beaten, with a well-orchestrated campaign. It's just that the effort would have to be so phenomenal, so perfectly managed, so well-executed, that there is an emphasis that would lose it. If I would lose, it would mean I would lose my (House) seat."
"That doesn't mean that she couldn't
Glickman, who represents Kansas' 4th District, said he would run for re-election in 1984.
