"While there were a few minor foul-ups," Kelly said, "we are quite pleased with the way this year's enrollment went. More than 16,000 people were enrolled in three days."
Kelly said students should receive their fee statements by Wednesday. Any student who has not received his fee statement by Friday should come to the Office of the Registrar in Strong Hall.
Estimated student enrollment for this semester is 16,540. "This includes those who enroll late or drop out," Kelly said.
The deadline for paying fees is Sept. 25. Students who haven't paid by this date will be charged a late fee of $10.
It is too early to determine the
ate enrollment. Because teachers need class rosters, however, this information hasn't been computerized yet.
Kelly said some seniors were confused about enrollment because the timetable stated graduating seniors could enroll at any time during the three-day period.
"Some people thought this applied only to those seniors graduating in January," he said, "but others were waiting outside the Kansas Union early Wednesday morning."
Kelly said there were no plans concerning re-establishing the pre-enrollment system, but the matter was being studied and discussed. He said the Colleges-within-a-College program was satisfactory and will be continued next year.
KU traffic remedy sought
At least one area of campus traffic congestion might be remedied by installing traffic lights this year, E. P. Moo马au, director of Traffic and Security, said Monday.
- As of late Monday, 8,560 students and 2,450 faculty and staff members had registered cars. Total car registration is expected to top last year's figures by 500 to 700 cars.
- Moomau may suggest installation of traffic lights at 15th and Naismith Drive for two reasons:
- Traffic will be increased in the Murphy Hall area after the new apartment complexes west of N Zone on 15th St. are completed.
Mooma said the increase in car registration roughly parallels the increase in student population.
Another area of congestion is the bridge behind the Kansas Union on Mississippi St., Moomau said. The one-lane bridge, being used during construction of a tunnel, will cause early-morning congestion at the entrance of X Zone parking lot.
Moomau said there will be good access to and from X Zone by Sept. 28, date of KU's first home football game.
Daisy Hill parking is sufficient, Moomau said, with the use of the residence hall lot west of Iowa St.
Film society plans up in air
Plans for this year's KU Film Society have not yet been settled, Richard MacCann, associate professor of radio, TV and film said Monday.
MacCann and Cote said the group will discuss a move to change the society to a closed organization.
Interested film fans will discuss the type of films to be scheduled and will hammer out society organization Thursday.
The group will meet after showings of Student Union Activities films beginning at 7 and 8:30 p.m. at Dyche Auditorium.
MacCann requested that persons interested in working in the film society leave their names at his office. 217 Flint Hall.
"It isn't necessary to attend the movie to come to the discussion. Any interested person should attend," said Ron Cote, last year's Film Society president.
The film society, founded at
KU last year, brought both old well-known and newer, underground, experimental movies to the campus. Members received a newsletter and attended films free of admission or at a discount.
PAPER SHIPS SAIL ELECTRONIC SEA
WEST COVINA, Calif —(UPI)
A bounding main on computer tape is helping marine engineers develop a new type of ship that can maneuver like a helicopter. The new concept is being studied by Honeywell engineers here using a DDP-124 computer that simulates the ocean complete with waves, current and wind.
It's only a paper ship sailing over an electronic sea but it's expected to yield new designs for special-purpose ships, barges and semi-submersible drilling platforms.
