Students can find options still open
By DAN HOWELL Staff Reporter
KU students who have come to Lawrence without clear ideas about housing or enrollment can find their way with a little work and a little help, several University officials said this week
Fred McEhenie, director of residential programs, said that residence halls would offer both temporary and permanent housing.
"Even if we were to fill (residence halls), we would provide temporary arrangements for all comers," he said.
All residence halls are full except McCollum Hall, McElenzie said. But some students don't show up after they have reserved rooms.
No statistics can be compiled yet, McElhenie said, but the number of remaining spaces this year is normal, perhaps slightly higher than last year.
THE OFFICE OF residential programs, 121 Strong Hall, also keeps information about of campus housing. McEllenie said the information consisted of a notebook listing rooms and apartments for rent, a roommate-listing service on a bulletin board and brochures for "just about every apartment complex in town."
Gary Thompson, director of student records, said that enrollment procedures varied with admissions status. Some students will be at different stages of enrollment on the same day. The procedure is outlined on pages 2-8 of the fall Timetable, available at 103 Strong Hall.
Thompson said enrollment consisted of four steps: filling out the enrollment card and having it signed and stamped, enrolling for courses, registering one's name and address and paying fees.
The University prepares enrollment materials only for students who enrolled in classes this spring or summer, Thompson said. Others, including students who were dismissed for academic reasons, must apply for admission or re-admission before enrolling.
PATSY R. ELLIOTT, assistant director of student records, said the University expected students to know enrollment procedures. But plenty of help will be available.
'If they read it and don't understand, they can ask," she said. "They should try to define their question.
Elliott said that students should keep their Timetables and receipts from transactions in the enrollment center. Students also should notice that times for advising and deans are not coincide with enrollment hours.
The most frequent errors, she said,
are omission of course line numbers
and failure to choose enough alternate
courses.
Late enrollment procedures begin tomorrow for students who attended classes in the spring but did not enroll then. Late-late enrollment and the drop-add period both begin Monday, according to a schedule in the Timetable.
THOMPSON SAID HE expected a heavy demand for dropping and adding courses, because of the absence of an early drop-add period.
"The whole purpose of drop-add is to help the University manage its resources more effectively," he said. While advisers' time may be protected by not holding an early drop-add, the same faculty members face "a different sea of faces every day the first week" without it.
Thompson also said that students were learning to take early enrollment seriously because it was their best chance to get the courses they
"At the Field House, the strategy was to keep keeping class cards," he said. "I don't think our system now rewards that."
THOMPSON SAID THE computer enrollment system at KU was adapted from the one at the University of Iowa, but now other schools, including the Missouri state universities, are studying KU's system.
"We took a giant step when we upgraded," he said.
Linda Thompson, director of admissions, said that students who had not yet been admitted still might be admitted. But they may not be able to enroll as part of new-student enrollment.
"If they have all the paperwork, we can process an application in half a day," she said.
Thompson said that students should bring transcripts from high school and college work, as well as college entrance test scores, when they apply for admission. Without these documents, only Kansas high school graduates without previous college work may enroll.

Ex-engineering dean fills temporary vacancy
By the Kansan Staff
William P. Smith, former dean of the KU School of Engineering, last week came out of retirement to become acting dean of the school.
Smith will serve as acting dean until a replacement is found for David C. Kraft, who resigned on July 3 to devote time to teaching and research in civil engineering at the University.
Smith, who served as dean of the school from 1965 to 1978 and retired in 1981, assumed the acting dean's position on Aug. 16, three days after he was appointed by Deanell Tacha, vice chancellor for academic affairs
On July 3, Kraft also resigned as director of KU's Center for Research Inc. The group conducts research for academic, government and industry purposes.
"It was a desire to step out of the administrative mainstream and do
some work as a faculty member and a researcher, 'Kraft said yesterday
Kraft announced both resignations in letters to Tacha and to Frances Horowitz, vice chancellor for graduate studies and public service.
Kraft became dean of the School of Engineering July 1, 1978 Under his leadership, the school built new facilities for aerospace propulsion studies and constructed an interim library.
A national search for a permanent dean will be conducted by a committee, the members of which will be appointed by Tacha next month, said Carol Prentice, academic affairs administrative assistant. Plans to fill the Center for Research position have not been announced.
According to Prentice, Smith will not become the permanent dean. Any candidate for the acting dean position cannot become the permanent dean, she said.
