Robert T. Aangeenbrug has been appointed acting director of KU's Center for Regional Studies succeeding Dr. David L. Huff, who has accepted a position at the University of Texas.
Aangeenbrug came to KU as assistant professor of geography from the Boston University faculty in 1966 and for the past year also has been a research associate of the Center. He earned the Ph.D. degree from the University of Wisconsin in 1965.
A specialist in urban transportation, his principal publications are in the areas of transportation forecasting, regional perception, and population analysis.
He recently was elected to the Urban Information System Committee of the Highway Research Board of the National Science Foundation. He also is involved in a preliminary evaluation of the 1970 U.S. Census and has been a consulting economic analyst for the Port of New York Authority.
Two of his articles in this year's Kansas Business Review, a monthly publication of the Center, have stimulated unusual readership interest—"Population Changes in Kansas 1880-1960" and "Regional Perception and Its Effect on Industrial Location."
Aangeenbrug recently participated in a seminar in Guatemala on analysis and regional geography for Central American geography professors.
After graduation from Connecticut State college in 1958, he taught in New York schools for three years before beginning graduate work at the University of Wisconsin.
Enrollment madness
Approaching the KU campus from the north you may see a sign advertising a local new-left bookstore and psychedelic poster shop, the Campus Mad House. In a way, this sign reflects the mood of KU this fall.
The Kansas Union is undergoing remodeling with the addition of tunnel under Mississippi Street reaching to Zone X parking lot. Work is being completed on the Biological Life Sciences building next to Summerfield Hall, and a new humanities building next to Flint Hall will begin to rise out of the hole in the ground left by the razing of old Robinson.
Add to this activity, the infus of an expected record 16,580 students-3,000 of them bewildered freshmen.
The full extent of the madness doesn't strike the new student until he braves the congested halls, long lines and sadistic enrollment assistants at the tables in the Kansas Union ballroom, who never have anything but a 7:30 Saturday class.
Amidst the choked hallways, reams of paper and countless cards, the student wonders what is happening to him. Is he engaged in some ghastly nightmare which might smother him if given the chance?
Within ten minutes, what seemed to be a well planned schedule falls in crumpled disarray. Missed classes and confused students are commonplace and the situation seems hopeless.
After an abortive attempt at pre-enrollment last year, the University has gone back to the same system used in the past. There have been some improvements, however.
People in the College-within-ACollege enroll together after consulting their advisers. Start and stop times have been added to the registration cards and a TR has replaced TT to stand for Tuesday and Thursday classes. It was explained that the TR is used at many other universities because it leaves more room on the computerized enrollment cards for pertinent information.
The computer is unable to distinguish Tuesday from Thursday when both are represented by a T. Consequently additional information must be put on cards to explain this to the computer taking up valuable space.
Some Tuesday and Thursday classes have been lengthened to two hours for greater variety in scheduling.
All of this does little to lessen the lines in the Kansas Union or to diminish the frustration which comes with closed classes. But for better or worse this is the system and it will remain until a valid method of pre-enrollment is initiated.
If enrollment procedures ever change, as they may indeed do some day soon, there will be ever more reason for students to celebrate during Country Club week. Until then, students will have to be content drowning the sorrows and frustrations of new classes in the local pubs each night.
