'Easy Access' Enrollment Smooth; 142 Lawrence Residents Sign Up
Enrollment went smoothly Sunday afternoon at the Kansas Union for 165 new "easy access" courses scheduled for the fall semester at the University of Kansas.
Registrar William Kelly said 142 persons had enrolled in the program, which was designed to make more courses available to Lawrence residents.
"I'm working full time, so I need a course offered at odd hours," said Carla Maerra, 1704 W. 24th St., who enrolled in Psychology I.
Mara said she wanted to work toward an ordained degree, but hadn't definitely decided what degree.
Richard Roe, 3020 Steven Drive, he said to plan a basic business course.
"I'm a chemist, and I find in my work that I need to sharpen my business skills," he said.
"I'm taking one three-hour course, and then next semester I will be considered a doctoral candidate."
"I've been disappointed that KU hasn't offered more courses like these before now." Elene Lawrence, 2200 Harper, said. "I really want to see if the hours were such that I could be."

LA&S 48 May Lose Student Senate Aid
After an 11-year break, Roberta Gwinner, 141 W. 21st St.风， decided to go back to school. She said that since her three years in school the school she would have more time to study.
Lawrence, who teaches common learnings at West Junior High School, said she wanted to enroll in History of the English Language.
The budget allocated $9,000 for the fall semester LA&S 48 courses and an additional $9,000 was to come from the continuance fund for the spring semester.
"The University has offered classes for teachers," she said, "but they've always been at 4 p.m. No one feels like hurrying to a class after just getting out of one."
Enrollment in easy courses was open to anyone who met course
Organizations slated to receive allocations this spring from the Student Senate's contingency fund are in danger of getting no money, Mert Buckley, Wichita senior and student body president, said yesterday.
"I think the program should be funded by the state," said Jerry Lewis, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and coordinator for the LAAS 48 courses. "I hope that the courses will be found worthy addressed by the state and not by the students."
The senate's unallocated funds currently amount to $9,776.73, or about $30,000 less than the amount estimated when the allocations were made last spring.
Groups such as the Curriculum and Instruction Survey and LA&L 48 courses, both scheduled to be funded from conference funds, will be offered to the Student Senate can raise more funds.
Buckley also said that he was seeking help from the University and the state to fund his research.
Buckley said small increases in enrollment this year have limited the amount of contingency money available. There was no way of knowing last spring that the estimates would be incorrect and a shortage would result, he said.
Lewis said that if the money for the courses were cut back, the program would be less expensive.
A special hearing on the proposed Tallgrass National Park in the Flint Hills will be at 9 a.m. Thursday in Room 527 of the Canitol Building at Topeka.
Hearing Thursday On Tallgrass Park
The special session was called by Sen. John Simpson of Salina, chairman of the Special Committee on Environmental Protection, to hear public opinion.
The final decision on the park will come from the U.S. Congress when it acts on a bill that is being considered.
Organizations and programs which already have been funded for the entire year and are not dependent on the contribution will not be affected by the shortage.
The Student Senate Executive Committee recommended Sunday that the senate watch its funds closely to help meet the needs created by the smaller contingency
The committee also recommended that the shortage problem be put on the senate's agenda for each meeting until a solution was found.
Faculty Club Plans Building For Oread St.
Plans for new housing for the University of Kansas Faculty Club are nearly complete. Robert Adams, club treasurer and president of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said yesterday.
Adams said that the new building would be constructed between 12th and 13th streets on the east side of Oread. The land is owned by the KU Endowment Association.
Adams denied rumors that the club was touring and soon would discontinue operating.
"We have never even considered
being" . Adams said, "we have been very
possible."
Initial plans for the building will be submitted to the Endowment Association within two weeks. If the Endowment Association approves these plans, the Faculty Club will proceed with art projects and the Endowment Association has made no commitment to provide funds for actual construction of the building.
The Faculty Club formerly was investigating the possibility of renovating the building at 11th St. Remodeling expenses, estimated at $220,000, forced the abandonment of that plan, at which point the Endowment recommended consideration of the new building.
"The people who enrolled were pleased with their classes. I hope the program will continue."
The new building would provide improved parking facilities and a better location for
prerequisites and who enrolled only in courses in the easy access listing.
About 406 students have enrolled this fall in the new bachelor of general studies program offered by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

Jerry Lewis, associate dean of the College, said the number of students enrolled was about what he had anticipated when the program was initiated in June.
Lewis said he expects the number of enrollments to increase as students discover the B.G.S. degree isn't a "second-grade" degree.
The University of Michigan has had a general studies program for a few years and about 20 percent of its students are presently enrolled in it. Lewis said.

"Medical and graduate schools consider this degree as valid as the other two when students are applying," he said. "The Michigan students have had no trouble being accepted for graduate school with the general studies degree."
