Because of the publication of two different withdrawal policies, students did not know when the drop periods ended and when they would begin receiving a "W" on their transcripts.
When University Council passed the policy in April of this year, it expected speedy approval of the policy. Robert Hoffman, acting dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, approved the printing of the new drop policy in the Addendum to the fall Timetable.
But, once again, the administration had not approved the policy.
ALTHOUGH THE POLICY was approved by Shankel early in October, it still seems to be unresolved.
The drop policy is divided into three five-week periods. During the first period, students may drop classes without having a "a" added to their grade; during the second when the "W" is added during the final two weeks.
Gary Thompson, assistant registrar at the office of admissions and records, sent a memo to deans asking which policy each school would use.
But according to George Worth, SenEx chairman, there is no choice; the only choice is how to divide the final ten weeks of the withdrawal policy.
Worth said Thompson's request was in violation of the University's unwritten policy and new security measures immediately.
The list of plans and policies floating around between the offices of Strong Hall continued to be
A COMMITTEE FOR long-range planning for the University still does not have a charge, or definition of its duties. The committee was named last semester.
Changes in the faculty handbook concerning faculty absences without leave, the result of two KU faculty members' trips to Iran in 1978, still used for the second time by the administration.
Changes in the Commencement format, which will include inviting a well-known speaker to the ceremony and having Commencement on Sunday, will not be approved until at least the middle of the month, when Shankel returns from a trip to London.
Choices in search committees for empty positions at the University, coupled with the time
it takes for searches and the decision-making, have delayed any alleviation to a probable cause of the administrative slowdown, SenEx members said.
In April, Paul J. Wolfe, the coordinator of the Academic Computer Center, will leave, and in March, Charles Christoffersen, vice chancellor for Education, will become president of Colorado State University.
In an interview last week, Worth said that because there were no top management administrators at the company, he was
"It's impossible to think that they aren't affected," one SenExn member said.
SEVERAL MEMBERS agreed that the administration was denying any decision slowdowns due to changes in policy.
SenEx members agreed that there would not be any continuity in administrative policy within the next two to three years, when all of the open positions would be filled.
They were concerned about the changes in the administration, as well as within Sengkang.

Ian Smith's K-State speech draws protests from students
MANHATTAN-Former Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith, who spoke at Kansas State University Friday, was the center of a battle between university administrators and protesters.
About 30 protesters from several K-State and KU student organizations interrupted Smith's speech several times with anti-Smith chants, threats, and calls to the protestors and police to keep the disturbances down.
Six times his speech was drowned out by protesters who chanted, "Smith must go," and at one point the police and protesters became involved in a showing match that led to the removal of one protester from the assembly. No arrests were made.
SMITH SHOWED NO emotion when the protesters' shouts forced him from the podium for as long as five minutes at a time. He returned

The deaths last spring of two Libyans in London and two in Rome were widely believed to be the work of "death squads" dispatched to Europe and the United States to "physically burden" the heads of Col. Moumarr Khadiy, Libyan head of state, according to the Washington Post.
His speech was an account of the events that led to the majority rule in Zimbabwe, formerly Rhodesia. Smith now heads the white minority in Zimbabwe's parliament.
Jim Graham, director of the Office of International Services at Colorado State and a foreign student adviser, said Zagallai knew the risks of danger of being killed by forces loyal to Khadfa.
"Faial received information through the grapevine that the Khandy revolutionary group had sent."
ZAGALAI, ONE of 42 Libyan students at Colorado State, originally had come to the United States on a Library government visit. She was asked to research a research assistant from Colorado State.
Before current Zimbabwe Prime Minister Robert Mugabe was elected, Smith and his ruling party had tried to bring in majority rule with a moderate black leader. He said Britain framed Status were responsible for the failure of his solution to majority rule in Rhodesia.
"Both Britain and the United States agreed to
the new government," he said, "but, of
course, it was an agreement."
He had said openly that he didn't like Khadday and was not going back to Libya after he finished his training.
to his chair on stage and waited calmly until he could continue.
Graham said he had been concerned for Zagallai's safety and called a State Department official, who said the department was aware of the situation. The Libyan council and was investigating the matter.
In May, the FBI contacted Zagallai and told him it had evidence confirming that he was on the hit list of the revolutionary council group operating in the United States, Graham said.
ZAGALALL AGREED to let an officer from IBM come to his house for an interview.
"At that point, there was not an awful lot the police could do." Graham said.
Zagallal, who also had been receiving threatening letters, finally went to the Fort Clinton school.
Britain later proposed guidelines for majority rule that were accepted by Smith and black nationalists in Britain's solution brought revolutionary rather than evolutionary change he wanted to majority rule.
A few weeks ago, Zagallai got a phone call from a woman who identified herself as a secretary in the recruitment office at IBM, Graham said. She said the company had an opening for someone who could speak Arabic, and that Zagallai, who was about to graduate with a doctorate in sociology, might be interested in the position.
Zagallai and his wife, Farida, had company the night of Oct. 14, and the officer, a white male with an American accent, apparently waited for the guests to leave before approaching the house. Graham said. Zagallai let the man in, but after being asked, he said Zagallai shooting for her to get out of the house.
Although the Zagallais gave a good description of the man, who police were sure was a hired trooper, they said he was not.
Zagalai was taken to Poudre Valley Hospital, where he made a quick recovery and was expected to be released during the weekend, he said.
In the struggle that followed, three shots were fired, two of which hit Zagalail in the head. His wife broke out one of the kitchen windows and called for help, and the assailant fled.
However, Zagalai is losing the sight in his right eye as a result of the shooting and still has one of the bullets lodged behind his nose, Graham said.
Libyans in Fort Collin feel frustrated because the shooting has been treated as a local, rather than a national tragedy.
THE MAYOR OF FORT Collins issued a statement condemning the shooting, as did the
Some of them think the CIA has backed a movement to keep the story quiet, at least until after tomorrow's presidential election and possibly for good, she said.
University, Chan said. Local citizens and students started a trust fund to help pay Zagallah's medical expenses, and so far they have raised $1,400.
Although the attack on Zagallai was the first serious attempt on the life of a Libyan living in the United States, "my Libyan friends are 99 percent sure there'll be more," the woman said.
The shooting has greatly upset other Libyans living in Colorado, said one woman from Fort Collins, who asked not to be identified because of its ties to many Libyans who also may be in danger.
"The Libyans feel he (Zagallal) was used as an example to other Libyans who are considering independence."
"My people have suffered under Smith's rule," he said. "Give him a chance to talk so that a speaker representing our views will be given a chance to talk, too."
DURING ONE of the longest interruptions in Smith's speech, a K-State student from Zimbabwe, Elia Ncube, asked protesters to allow Smith a chance to talk.
"He's a racist," she said. "I don't think he should have spoken here. I'm angry that Smith would tell us that racial oppression was for the good of blacks."
Mitenholt was referring to the question and answer period after the speech, in which Smith said that the discrimination policy practiced by this administration was for the benefit of blacks.
Smith's scheduled appearance had brought student criticism upon K-State President Duane Acker and his assistant, Barry Flinchbaugh, for inviting Smith to speak.
One K-State student who attended the speech, Iopeka senior Karen Mitchells, said she was impressed by the presentation.
Ncube's plea brought applause from most students.
A speakers bureau had offered to schedule Smith at the University of Kansas, but Ken DeSieghardt, SUA Forums chairman, said student interest and an excessive cost were the reasons KU decided not to invite him to the University.

SENATE BILL No. 751
By Senator Bermar
Senator Berman's Record on UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
AN ACT concerning state educational institutions under the state board of regents, requiring payment of debt service on bundled indebtedness for certain schools and facilities by probabilistic collection or payment of student fees for each debt service, amending K.S.A. 76-219 and 76-218, and resuming the existing sections.
We sometimes lose sight of the fact that the principal role of a major university is the education and training of its students. It would be a travesty to deny any Kansan, because of financial circumstances, the opportunity to obtain the best possible education. It is ridiculous, at a public institution, to require students to pay for the buildings within which they are being educated. It is important that student concerns continue to be heard and responded to by the Kansas Legislature.

Tuesday, Nov. 4 Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Edward Albee put an absurdist sensitivity into the play, which combines the comic character of O'Neill himself with a unique vision of Hell which no one (catering to his own interests) has denied. Sandy Dennie won an Oscar as the young nivee wife; the casting of Elizabeth Taylor (who also won an Oscar) and the brilliant performance by Kate Bosworth seems brilliant now; and Mike Nichols performed a terrific role in 1928 (112 mwB.)
