Regents schools enrollment drops
Staff Reporter
Although enrollment is up this semester at the University of Kansas and two other Kansas Board of Regents schools, the six Kansas Board of Regents institutions experienced a combined 1.26 percent drop in enrollment.
Total enrollment is up at KU, Pittsburgh State University and Wichita State University, but down at Emporia State University and Kansas State University.
Emporia State's enrollment dropped by about 10 percent—the largest enrollment increase since the 2003 reorganization.
Pittsburg State had the largest increase, 5.3 percent over its fall 1977 enrollment.

FTE IS determined by dividing the total number of credit hours taken by students by standard figures for credit-hour loads at different levels of study.
This year's FTE is 21,706,54 more than in fall 1977.

K-State, also experiencing a decrease, had the largest drop in the number of students enrolled, declining in head count by 752 students.
Enrollment this year is 18,293, a 3.9 percent drop from last fall's enrollment of
James Kellerman, registrar at Fort Hays State, said the University's enrollment had grown the past four years, but declined this year. The campus enrollment dropped by 182 students.
FTE declined at K-State to 16,954, a drop of 131 from last fall's 17,085.
FORT HAYS STATE also declined in enrollment.
"It's in part-time student in continuing education," he said.
Kellerman said that although there was a drop in the number of students enrolled in off-campus programs, the off-campus FTE at Fort Hays State was down only by 10 students. Fort Hays had a total FTE drop of 30 this fall to 4.575.
Fort Hays State's fall enrollment is 5,453 students, a drop of 262 students from last year.
Gerritz said K-State's freshman enrollment was up by about 50 students this
The number of new and returning freshmen also dropped at Fort Hays.
Officials still not satisfied with Med Center panels
Kellerman said the university had enrolled 45 fewer new freshmen this year.
Pittsburgh State's enrollment increased this year by 5.3 percent. FTE at the university rose by 2.5 percent, from 4,467 in fall 1977 to 4,578.
But he said Fort Hays' recruitment practice had not changed.
FRESHMAN ENROLLMENT at the university, however, is slightly lower than the declining numbers of seniors graduating from Kansas public high
"We had a really fine year of attracting area students," Lee Christensen, Pittsburgh State register, said. "Our graduate student enrollment is up 12 percent from last fall. Also, our undergraduate transfer students are up 30 percent.

Repairs to some of the 139 defective panels installed on the outer surface of the University of Kansas Medical Center's Bell Memorial Hospital are not adequate, University and state officials said after an inspection of the hospital yesterday.
Among the three institutions with higher enrollments, Pittsburgh State had the highest percentage of increase, enrolling 5,457 students, compared with last fall's 1,823.
He attributed the lower freshman enrollment to a decline in the number of high school seniors who graduated last spring.
"We tried to establish the quality of some of the repair work on the panels," Warren Corman, director of facilities planning of the Kansas Board of Regents, said. "Some of the newly repaired panels just don't look good."
An inspection team that included Corman and Allen Wiechert, University director of facilities planning, spent yesterday afternoon looking at representative samples of the defective panels. "Today's inspection of the panels was the third inspection since spring."
AFTER AN inspection by members of the state architect's office in May, 139 of the 5- by 10-foot cement panels were found to be cracked, chipped or broken. It was determined that almost all the透ractive panels had minor cracks or chips that could be repaired cage
Wichita State University's enrollment also increased, by 1.4 percent. The university enrolled 15,937, about 200 more students than last fail.
FTE at Wichita State is 10,394, a drop of 1 from fall 1977 when the university's FTE was 10,286.
Another inspection last week found that 90 percent of the defective panels had been repaired.
Russell Wentworth, dean of admissions and records at Westita State, was unanimously awarded the Rita S.
Wiechert said that although the committee found that most of the defective panels were cosmetically displeasing, there were a few that needed to be replaced because of structural damage to the panel.
Corman said many of the repaired panels still did not satisfy the inspectors.
The panels were repaired with an epoxy solution that did not blend with the color of the panels. Wiechner said.
Cerman said he still was not sure I many of the panels would have to be replaced. The executive committee will decide that Monday. If some of the less-damaged panels cannot be repaired to look like the rest of the panels, they also will have to be replaced, he said.
"the texture of the panels and the temperature and humidity at the time the epoxy was applied all made the panels difficult to paint."
LAST WEEK, Vince DiCarlo, president of V.S. DiCarlo General Contractors Inc., the company that installed the panels, said that he did not think there was any problem with the panels and that his company had done the best it could.
Whecht and Corman are members of the Clinical Facilities Executive Committee, which will meet Monday to set a timetable for staffing.
WIECHERT SAID that each panel was inspected before it was unloaded from the delivery truck at the construction site. If a panel was passed inspection, it was put on the building with a crane. If it was easy to chip or crack the panels in the process of installation.
Wiechert said last week that there was no connection between the panels on the hospital and the panels on new Green Hall. The panels on Green, which have had similar problems, were not manufactured by the same company or installed by the same contractor.
Oread election questioned

Bv CAROLINE TROWBRIDGE
Who controls the Oread Neighborhood Association?
Since recent elections, landlords and
aggrieving owners have encouraged for power in the 18-month period.
David Holroyd, who was nominated by landlords, was elected president of the association Monday night at a gathering of landlord supporters or landlord supporters who voted as a bloc.
Holroyd lives at 1224 Louisiana St. and was the only officer who lives in the Oread neighborhood. Holroyd, who was not at the meeting, is in London.
However, Jim Flynn, whom Holroyd replaced as president, and yesterday that
FLYNAM SAID he thought the association would have another meeting Oct. 26, to vote on adoption of bylaws and to have another election of officers.
He said Jane Eldredge, a Lawrence lawyer, told him the election was not proper because the association was operating without bylaws.
The association was incorporated last summer and one stipulation of its creation was to allow
adopted. No bylaws have been written for the corporation,
One landlord, Marie Lynch, 515 Millstone Drive, said that she thought the elections were proper and that Holroyd should be the president of the association.
"EVERYTHING ABOUT incorporation was done with the knowledge and consent of the neighborhood," Lynch said. "They're not just being involved, they're set with their attitude. I think it's childish."
The election results heavily favored the landlords in the neighborhood.
Richard Lynch, 2005 Sante Fe Lane, was elected vice president; Virginia Munger, chief executive; Robert Eggert, secretary; and Robert Eggert, 134 Haskell Ave. were the treasurer. All own offices in the Office of the President.
One member of the association, George Coggins, 1147 Ohio St., said there were usually eight to 10 landlords at the meetings but never 50 to 60.
However, vice president Lynch said, there was no push to get handlers to attend the meeting.
He said, "We just told people we talked to that there was a meeting of vital importance to us and they should attend so we wouldn't get snowed under like last year.
attendance rate and, come fall, it picks up because of the cooler weather."
Ms. Lynch said she would not support an association rezoning proposal, which is under consideration.
"The landlords usually have a very low
"I would not be in favor of it," she said. "I wouldn't think it's desirable or practical and I would."
Flynn said one effect of the rezoning plan would be to hold population density in the Oread neighborhood at its present level. Under the plan if existing houses were replaced, the new structures could be only tri-plexes or smaller units.
M. Lynch said, "We don't want our big houses, if they burn down to turn into隧道."
SHE ALSO said they did not approve of the association's seeking and obtaining an anti-trafficking certificate.
The Oread neighborhood received an
$95,000 federal grant in July to investigate
the problem.
"We didn't get really angry until they got all that money and tried to brand this area with the name of their company."

Funding requests heard
By MARY ERNST and TAMMY TIERNEY
Staff Reporters
Supplemental funding requests from six groups previously funded by the Student Senate and three not previously funded were heard last night by members of the Senate budget committee. The committee made preliminary allocation decisions for four of the
The committee will hear the requests of 12 more groups tonight in the International Room of the Kansas Union and will make final decisions.
More than $23,000 is available from Senate unallocated funds and another $6,035 is available from a controlled reserve fund if the Senate votes to waive the cap.
Committee members recommended to allow the Student Association for the Combined Health Sciences $225 in supplemental funding.
The Tau Sigma Dance Ensemble requested $2,697, but the request was cut to $1,835. Members of the budget committee said that Tau Sigma had an additional income of $550 from ticket sales to performances and the sale of posters from those performances.
THE BUDGET committee cut $215 that Tau Sigma requested for travel and $477 that the group said it needed for four stage hands during productions. The committee also cut Tau Sigma's supplies and expenses request from $1,806 to $1,353, a cut of $370. Part of the cut was to "trim the fat," according to Greg Schneack, chairman of the Finance and Auditing Committee.
Schmacke had cut to be made somewhere. The fact that Tau Sigma had not used $%30 of the $1,756 it has been allocated last year is also possible.
The majority of that allocation, $15.15, would go toward paying three months of the director's salary. The other $4.62 would go to administrative expenses.
The Friends of Headquarters, a personal crisis and short-term counseling center, got all $1,100 it had requested. Members of the budget committee described the group as "one of the most reliable" over the years in how it spent Senate funds.
THE UNIVERSITY Association for the Advancement of Women Engineers requested $447 to cover travel expenses for a trip to Minnesota for three club members. The budget committee voted to reduce that amount to $459—enough to send two members.
Representatives of the association said that the trip would be used to promote their organization and to seek additional funding for the women's engineering group. The $450 will supplement $512 already allocated to the group.
The University Daily Kansan made a $3,000 request to pay for printing expenses. Additional funding was requested to make up an unbudgeted $3,000 year increase in printing costs, Don Green, Kansan business manager, said.
Green explained that the amount allocated yearly to the Kansan by the Senate was approximately one-fourth the total cost of operation and that the $9,000 was one-fourth of the $36,000 printing increase.
GREEN SAID he hoped to make up the other $27,000 by increasing the amount of advertising sold, maintaining an increase in ad rates, collecting more accounts receivable and cutting back the number of pages printed daily.
Green said that further reductions in publication would be necessary unless the $30,000 were made up.
The Art Education Association made a request for $140 to cover $40 in travel expenses for visiting speakers to KU, $80 to sponsor a spring convention of art educators, $15 for magazines and books, and $150 for professional fees for classes taught by a group at the Lawrence Boys' Club.
Richard Winter, Senate treasurer, pointed out to the group that the $40 for visiting speakers might violate article 7.3.7 of the Senate rules and regulations, which prohibits use of Senate funds for such purposes unless the group has exhausted other sources of funding.
A representative of the bar association, which lists as its members all students enrolled in the KU School of Law, said $200 would be needed to pay for the printing of a newsletter that had previously been supported by the law school.
The Student Bar Association made a $485 request to supplement the $725 it already had been allocated.
ANOTHER $180 would be used to pay a bill received from the law school's printing service for work done last year. Also, $50 for Kansan advertising, $45 for payments due on a typewriter and $10 for a twist would be used out of the $45.
Two new groups, the Arabian Peninsula Student Club and AArchChair Club, offer the Beta Soray requested $500 and $977 from the Senate.
Neither group has received funding from the Senate before. Members of both groups said they hoped to expand their involvement with Senate held talks.
Representatives from the Arabian Peninsula Student Club said the $800 request would be used for postage, printing expenses, advertising, film rental, magazines and long distance telephone calls.
Members of the Archonian Club that funding would go toward office supplies, postage, printing expenses, advertising, rental, typewriter rental, books, magazines, a Sickle Cell Anemia Drive and Storks Nest for infants.
The Women's Coalition, which was scheduled to make its presentation last night, did not show up to support its $700 request, which would supplement the $1,260 it already had received from the Senate.
Also the Engineering School Council did not show up for the second straight night. It was scheduled to make its request for $800.
