KU Senate is seeking foreign students
By a Kansan reporter
At the fourth annual International Club chancellor's reception, Pam Holley, student body vice president, encouraged foreign students to participate in Student Senate. The committee contributed an important perspective.
"My concern is that we continue to have international students represented," Holley said.
About 40 people attended the reception yesterday in the Big Eight Room at the Kansas Union.
Only one foreign student has applied for the Senate seats in the graduate and law schools, a Senate official said yesterday.
Three foreign students this Senate seats this year. Their terms will expire after the elections, and they are being held today and tomorrow.
Chancellor Gene A. Budd said he was proud that about 1,500 KU students were from more than 100 different countries.
"Your presence is a reminder to all our students and to the people of Kansas that we are more than a state university, "Buldig said.
Heinrich Nissen, vice president of the International Club, said the club was not a political organization.
"Thirty percent of the people who sign up are American, which show that we are not trying to be American, rest of the campus of the Nissen said. "We feel like we are the umbrella organization for international students."
Business advising altered Students will use computer form,not folder
By Katy Monk
Kansas staff writer
New KU business students will encounter a slightly different approach to advising this month than the full faculty.
Instead of the old confidential folder system, a single-sheet form will detail which courses the entering student has completed and which he must complete before graduation. The process eliminates some of what Rebecca Mankley, an engineering school official who is in charge of that school, called the "opensee", part of advising.
Advisors will be able to concentrate on career advising and other, more personal aspects of advising than simply provide general advice.
The business school leads the way for several schools at the University of Kansas in adopting the ARTS, or academic requirements tracking system, now in its third year of use by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
The ARTS form presents each student with a concise list of his needs and is kept current by computer. Pam Houston, assistant to the dean of the college, said the confidential folder system was not always updated.
Students who entered the college in fall 1986 or thereafter receive the ARTS form in the mail before graduation.
each student courses needed to fulfill bachelor of arts or bachelor of general sciences degree requirements. Currently, the forms do not list requirements for individual majors.
Houston said a computer program detailing requirements for each liberal arts major would be in place by
Each school adopting the college's ARTS program will adapt it to its own curriculum.
David Shulenburger, associate dean of business, said the business school planned to phase in the system during the recession.
The school spent about $5,000 for a computer, printer and equipment for communication with KU's mainframe system.
Markley, coordinator of academic services for the engineering school, said the engineering school had bought similar equipment for that purpose but that it was not ready for the equipment anyway to update computing systems.
Markley said she was working toward a test form ready for use by January if possible, or by March at the
"What I'm envisioning is a form that's essentially like a graduation checksheet," Markley said.
"One of the most-time-consuming things we do is the degree checks and maintaining paper student files."
ROTC boosting recruitment as KU membership stabilizes
By Janell Good
Because of stabilizing membership in KU's ROTC programs, ROTC is increasing its recruiting efforts at high schools, said Col. John Rademacher of the Air Force ROTC division.
Rademacher said that because of a larger job market available to college graduates, membership in the AFROTC program had decreased from 129 to 104 as of Monday.
Recruiting efforts include presentations during college turs at high schools and Boys' and Girls' State Rademacah.
Capt. Todd M. Renner, assistant professor of aerospace studies, said that about 12,000 high school students competed for ROTC scholarships nationwide and 4,500 scholarships were awarded each year.

The four-year scholarships pay for tuition, fees and books, plus a $100 monthly allowance during the school year. Please visit www.mathworks.com/teachers for more information.
Renner said the scholarships provided not only a free education but also guaranteed jobs after graduation. Most scholarships are awarded to students who pursue science and engineering majors.
Renner said that the ROTC Lifestyle wann't for everyone but that the program was designed to give students a chance to be involved.
"It's a time to make choices, and some students may decide the rogram doesn't fit their needs." Renn said.
Kassie Kahl was one of those students. The Achison freshman dropped out of the AFROTC program two weeks ago. She was the only female, and one of five students, to win an AFROTC scholarship at the University.

Kahl said she wanted to study a foreign language and said she felt pressured by the Air Force to go into a technical field. She said her decision was a personal and financial choice, and there were no bad feelings.
