Early enrollment off to a slow start
By JOEL THORNTON Staff Reporter
Just as they were last fall, KU students have been slow this week to pick up their enrollment cards and make appointments with their advisers, professors and administrators said yesterday.
However, many students picked up their enrollment folders and made appointments to see class advisers at the Kansas Union ballroom yesterday. Many say that students from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences could do so.
The pre-enrollment period for the College was shortened to two days this year to avoid wasting time and effort. In addition, a third period of College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
"THESE WAS AN AWFUL lot of dead time on our hands when students were not coming around," Lineberry said. "There is little point in having a full staff drop in when only a few students drop in, in an afternoon."
Liberal Aris students who missed the early enrollment period must pick up their folders and see advisers during "day" of April 28 and 29, in 102 Strong Hall.
Lineberry said he thought the shorter pre-enrollment period had been successful.
He said he expected that 80 to 90 percent of the students would pick up their folders before yesterday's deadlines, only slightly the same as in fall enrollment.
Some changes were also made in pre-enrollment for the School of Business, said Dave Shuilenburger, professor of business.
Undergraduate business students must get their enrollment folders this week but they will have two weeks in which to meet their advisers, he said. Last semester, business students saw advisers in two evening sessions.
ABOUT HALF OF THE 600 business majors had picked up their folders by mid-April.
"I think our new system will work a lot better for students and faculty in the long run than the other system." he said.
Professors in several departments said that only few students had set up their computers.
"I haven't seen a soul in here that I know of," said Norman SLA, chairman of the department of history. "But since our faculty are spread out on two floors, it would be difficult for me to tell who has seen whom."
Saul said he thought many students did not know when they could pick up the ball.
"I announced in one of my classes yesterday and a few students came up
to me after class because they had not heard anything about it," he said.
Many students are too apathetic to see their advisers on time.
"I DON'T KNOW WHAT is the best way to get through to students," said Robert McColl, professor of geography. "We know where to go. We barrons or cafes and dormitories."
Three other KU schools have special pre-enrollment periods scheduled. Undergraduate business and journalism students can pick up enrollment cards only this week, while School of Pharmacy undergraduates may pick up their folders Tuesday through Friday of next week.
Today is the last day for business
graduate students to pick up their
engagement.
Students in other schools can pick up their enrollment cards until April 8.
Shulenburger said he hoped students and faculty would observe the enrollment time schedule to prevent long waiting periods or other inconveniences during enrollment.
"THE UNIVERSITY SET A bad example last fall," he said. "We did not adhere to firm guidelines and students could get cards and get advised up to the time the enrollment center was open."
Saul said he hoped that students would not wait until the last minute to see an adviser.

Draft filing not needed for aid

Male students eligible for Selective Service registration no longer have to file copies of their draft notification with college financial aid offices, an official from the U.S. Department of Education said yesterday.
Students will still have to fill out a statement that says they have registered with the Selective Service, although financial aid offices will not be responsible for verification of the form for at least two years.
ANOTHER EDUCATION Department official, Robert Jamroz, of the post-secondary office, said the Justice Department's decision in the Minnesota case was due in about two weeks. Financial aid offices do not now know whether the Minnesota decision is binding.
The Department of Education announced changes in its policy yesterday because of an injunction by District Judge Donald Alsop in a Minnesota case that tested the constitutionality of the draft notification requirements, said Jim Moore, the department official.
Moore, director of public affairs for the department, said that congressmen were unlikely to reject the changes during a 45-day comment period.
All students who receive federal financial aid will fill out a form that ask whether they have registered with the Selective Service, Moore said.
Jerry Rogers, director of the KU office of financial aid, said that the office would not be verifying the forms until the 1985-86 school year.
The forms will have space to mark exceptions on the basis of sex or age, he
"There is no reason for us to continue to do this if the compliance rate is high enough. It is kind of a belated self-regulation." Jamroz said.
If the compliance level is high enough, the Secretary of Education and the General Director of the Selective could decide to end the program.
Jamroir said the department might not have to verify the special regis-
JAMROZ SAID A PROPOSAL had been included in the new rules to allow for an evaluation of the program after two years.
About 93 percent of all Kansas men
Moore said that the Education Department was not concerned about the possibility of non-registrants lying on their forms because department officials would make random checks on registration.
eligible for the draft have registered.
The auditing department routinely checks some registration forms each year to verify the accuracy of statements on the forms, he said.
Two bills, one in the House and one in the Senate, are designed to delay implementation of the program, Jamroz said.
PUBLIC DISCONTENT WITH the registration requirements prompted the introduction of two bills in Congress that would now be largely unnecessary because of the rules changes, Moore said.
One bill, a seven-month delay in the starting date for the registration requirements, was passed by the House subcommittee on Education and Labor last week. The bill would postpone the compliance date until February.
Although the injunction has been in effect since early March, the Department of Education is still able to enforce concerns concerning the law, Jamroz said.
