Commission to look at apartment plan Pre-enrollment
Seventeen fourplex apartments will be built on a KU professor's property at the northwest corner of North and Michigan streets if the Lawrence College City commission approves the plan at its meeting at 7 tonight.
The plan to be considered is better than the plan the commission approved last April, the plan will result in less population density that said commissioner Barkley cited.
Adrian Tang, associate professor of computer science, said the original plan was still legally solid but he wanted the development to be less use.
Because of city ordinances, the commission just approve the new plan even though another man has been approved already, Clark said.
"It is a little strange. That's the first time I can remember anything like this, but I think that's an ordinance," Clark said. "I voted for it (the plan) the first time and this one is even better in terms of neighborhood impact."
drainage of storm water from the property may be discussed tonight.
TOMMISSIONER Nancy Shontz said that
Walter Hicks, architect for Tang, said the drainage system would be constructed so that more rain water was captured than the city required.
The city requires that a development's drainage system capture any additional water beyond the run-off that would result if the system only single-family residences on it, Hicks said.
However, the proposed development will capture any additional water beyond the amount draining from the property in its present undeveloped state, he said.
Shoots said, "Our policy is not very stringent and we don't want to water put into the system because of development."
But Shon'tz said she had been told by George Williams, director of public works, that the development would exceed the city's drainage requirements.
CONCERNING THE aesthetics of having 17 four-plex buildings on one property, Tang said. "My aim is to make them look slightly different from existing four-plexes."
One house had a dog and he hoped to build at least 12 of the 17 buildings with separate entrances to each of the houses.
"Their plans will provide more retention than our policy requires," she said.
"They'll be sort of townhouse style," he said. "They will be to make them more contemporary—like buildings."
Shontz said, "There's very little the commission can do in terms of aesthetics. The plans the architect showed me looked very attractive."
Hicks said people who were not financially involved in planning should not bother developers with aesthetic considerations when slowed development and made it more expensive.
"People who have no vested interest in development should not make decisions based on I are an artist' or I know what's best for the city.' "Hicks said.
librarians to teach research methods class
Beginning tomorrow and Thursday Watson Library reference department will offer a noncredit research course, Rob Melton, reference librarian, said yesterday.

Mellon, who started the course last spring,
said its purpose was to help students learn how to
get information and find materials at the library.

moderately successful, it has been limited because the course is not listed in the timetable and therefore a lot of students don't know about it.' Mellon said.
The course is not credited, he said, but it would be beneficial to any student who has to do research.
Charles Getchell, reference librarian, and Melton will teach the course.
For the first class the librarians will review with the students how to use the card catalog and also what some of its complexities are, Melton said.
"We will teach students how to use indexes for periodicals, documents, manuscripts and other sources."
*We will also show them how to use reference materials such as encyclopedias, bibliographies, histories, and other sources.*
"ALTHOUGH enrollment has been

At the final session they will show students how to strategically plan and organize research.
"Students in the past have found this course very helpful." Melton said.
Under the batch system, student schedules are all fed into a computer at the same time. The computer then tries to establish workable schedules for as many students as possible. But students are not workable schedules means students do not have a choice in the section of a course, Mann said.
irus year, he said, more undergraduates have enrolled along with some graduates and a good percentage of them are first-year students.
MANN SAID he found that most schools the size of KU who use a pre-enrollment had converted to the on-line system from the batch system because it was more responsive to
He said the committee also found that costs on the online system would be less than were estimated.
"My opinion is that the cost is one thing, but I don't think the costs in either case were all that great when you look at the number of students we're talking about running through. I think it's a heck of a lot more responsive to our students, personally."
"I think the committee saw what the cost implications were because they dropped significantly from the original cost we had looked at there (in the first report)," he said.
ACCORDING TO THE 1979 report, 20 new terminals would cost $70,350, and other costs including staffing and maintenance would run approximately $40,670 annually. Mann said, however, that the committee found it would cost less to take the on-line approach because KU probably could buy terminals that the College of Health Sciences now leases.
Mann said that the University probably would purchase 15 IBM computer terminals already on lease to the College. He said the University could install them on a three-year installation payment plan.
He said costs also might be kept down if the staff that was used normally in the Allen Field House enrollment was trained to do the process at the terminals.
Mann said that the terminals probably would arrive in June or July.
"It will cost more money for a year or two."
Mann said, but he added that Allen Field House enrollment had its costs too, and that they were hard to determine.
He said the bulk of the costs would come from his computer system and the renovation of the pressroom.
"Those computer costs will pretty much dissipate and after they're paid out, which is about one to three years, you're talking about a cost of less than $6,000 a year," Mann said.
He said that figure would include fall and spring pre-enrollments, regular enrolments, and summer programs.

difference between the parent loan and the GSLa.
Also, Weinberg said that the government asks parents of interest on parent loans it does on Google.
ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT difference between the loan programs is the repayment time. The first payment for GLSs is due seven to 10 months after graduation. For the parent loans, the first payment is due 60 days after a loan is taken out.
"Some parents would not be able to meet that 60-day deadline." Weinberg said.
The parent loans also require a credit check
"Some families would not want that," he said.
So far this year only 22 KU students have applied for the parent loans, compared to 7,417 students who have applied for GSLs, Weinberg said.
With the tighter restrictions placed on GSLs, however, he said the parent loan program may become more attractive to parents and students.
"I think it's going to become a program of significance in 1982-83." Weinberg said.

WE KNOW SOME SURPRISING FACTS ABOUT THINNING HAIR. ___
We can't stop thinning hair. But we can make the most of the hair you have, because we have the latest scientific data
For instance, we know ways to cut and style thinning hair so it looks fuller. We also know that as hair thins, it
becomes finer. So building it is essential. Then too, as hair thinns, the scalp often secretes more oil, which holds hair down, makes it even thinner. So controlling oil is important, too.
Now there's a scientific system to deal with these problems. First, we design the right style. Then we use and prescribe the new RK Thinning Hair System by Redkera", a lineup of special, proven products created specifically to give a man's thinning hair more fullness, control and predictability.
Stop by today and let us show you just how full thinning hair can really look. You may be very pleasantly surprised.
