From staff and wire reports Advising center created By Bob Tinsley Of the Kansan staff That old bugaboo — academic advising — remains a necessity of college life, but some faculty and staff can make things a little easier from now on. The Advising Support Center, 4017 Wesco Hall, which opened Aug. 19, was created primarily for students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences to help them with academic problems and career choices. The center does not help with enrollment advising. The center is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and may be open evenings in "We will be serving, basically, two categories of student," Sandra Zimdars-Swartz, associate dean of the college, said last week. All students are welcome, however, she said. In the first category, students who are on academic probation or dismissed from other schools can get help at the center, said Joe VanZandt, the center's coordinator of advising. "We'll see if we can't get special advising to find out what their problems are," he said, "rather than Students who need advice on choosing a career can also receive help at the center. Zindars-Swartz said. just send them a letter to let them know they're on probation." The center opened with an advising staff of eight graduate students. Last week, the staff advised students who took part in late enrollment. In the next two weeks, the staff will finish training for fall duties. "We were plunged into enrollment and weren't able to give the staff the in-depth training it needed," Van-Zandt said. The center will also monitor which students are assigned to which advisers. Assignments are being made differently than in the past, VanZandt said, when they were made at random. This year, students who declared no major were asked during summer orientation to choose a department of interest to them. The department each student chose then gave the student an adviser from its faculty. New seconds policy is a first for meals in residence halls By Jill Waldman Of the Kansan staff Second helpings are in store for students living in residence halls this year. Under a new office of residential programs policy, residents will have the opportunity to receive second helpings of all food items at all meals. Previously, residents did not receive helpings of any main dishes or desserts. The policy change came about this summer in direct response to student requests for second helpings, Lenoir Eckahl, office of residential programs food supervisor, said last week. "We thought that some people eat more than others and require more, so we want them to come back for seconds. We're trying to get those hungry people fed." Ekdahl said. In the preliminary stages of the new system, however, only selected food items will be available for second helpings. These items will be called CBSs — come back for seconds — and will be used to determine what residents like to eat so that overproduction will be avoided. "We are going into this very carefully because we don't want to overproduce and have leftovers." Ekdahl said. "We only want them to take the food they want so we don't have any platewasting." She said second helping restrictions may be imposed on items such as steak and shrimp because of budget restraints. Ekdahl said that the only problem she could foresee with the new system would be that residents would not want to wait in a long line to get second helpings. Lee Collard, Auburn junior, has lived at Ellsworth Hall for three semesters and said that students had complained in the past about not getting enough to eat. "I would always hear them talk about Naismith, where you can get seconds," Collard said. "I think it's a really good idea." Brian Wiglesworth, Shawnee sophomore and a resident of HashingHall, said, “I haven’t gotten second helpings yet. I’ve only used the lunch line twice, and then I just got pretty filled up. When the food gets bad later in the year I’m sure I’ll get seconds then.” Dan Nicely, Shawnee sophomore and a Hashinger resident, said, "Nothing there really warrants seconds — I usually lose my appetite after eating half of a meal anyway."
