Closed classes mean lengthy lines
Dropping and adding classes right after enrollment is almost a tradition for some KU students, and this seems to be the usual and unusual reasons for the change.
Elaine McNeal, Topeka freshman,
said that when she went to her first day
of French class, the classroom was non-existent.
"There were two 10:30 sections," McNeal said. "They never delegated rooms for them, just an office. The 60-odd rooms in those classes were just up a creek."
Norris Lacy, chairman of the French and Italian department, said increased enrollment cut down the number of rooms the department could use.
"We schedule the maximum number of sections that we think we might need," Lacy said. "Each department
has certain rooms that are thesas, and these take care of one-half to two-thirds
THE REST OF THE ROOMS are taken from a pool of rooms that are available in any department, Lacy said, and none of the rooms were free at 10:30 in the morning.
He said the popularity of late mor-
nial classes also was responsible for the
morning rush.
"I assume the administration thinks that five years from now enrollment will be able to have enough classrooms," Lacy said. "I don't think there a villain in this."
"Students are not crazy about 7:30 and 5:30 classes." Lacie said. "There are rooms around at 7:30; 3:30 and 4:30, and virtually nothing in between."
Company sues county over bridges' cost
A Holton construction company has filed a $500,000 suit against the Douglas County Board of Commissioners relating to the construction of the new Vermont and Massachusetts street bridges over the Kansas River.
The Ron Anderson Construction Company, which filed the suit Friday in Douglas County District Court, contended that the firm's final installment of $207,821.32 plus
any interest accrued since the bridges were completed Jan. 6.
The Anderson Company also is seeking an additional $300,000 for unforeseen extra costs incurred during construction.
The company is seeking a jury trial but no hearing date has been set. Attorneys for both parties refused to comment.
YVETTE CAREY, Leavenworth sophomore, also said she had difficulties with closed classes.
"I need to take Economics 140, and all the sections are closed," said Mike Cummins, its Berland Park sophomore. "I have a wait until someone drops to get in."
"I was last to enroll." Carey said. "I wanted to take math, but math was all closed out. I wanted to take history, but the times I wanted were closed."
Carey was trying to add English classes, but she said that even the English classes she wanted to take turned out to be closed.
“This is ridiculous,” she said. “I've never had to go through this.”
Problems with classes, not classrooms, prompted other students to stand in line and change their schedules.
Raeid Abu-G扎哈zel, Jordan freshman, said he got the Calculus 121 class he wanted but decided to change after the first day.
IN THE HISTORY department,
Linda Freeman said she had taken care of class changes three times and this semester was not as busy as usual.
CHANGING CLASSES is famous for causing long lines at the various departments, but several people who handle class changes said this
"The teacher was Japanese. I couldn't understand him," he said.
"Usually I have long lines, but this time there only is been five or six people and then will be a bull," Freeman said.
"You just schedule a different hour when there is a room." Hamilton said.
Part of Hamilton's job was to find classes for French students whose sections were canceled because no classrooms were available.
In the French department, Suzanne Hamilton said that the line had stretched all the way across the office and back through a corridor on the first day, but that there were fewer people the second day.
She said students often changed classes because they got the wrong class card or they took classes whose meeting times overlapped when the classes they originally wanted were closed.
"It's not a bit worse," said Mary Loe Means, who handles class changes for the English department. "A lot of it is just too much; people don't get the classes they want."
Win, lose, or just plain exhausted... You'll find the perfect summer refreshment at
semester's lines were no worse than those of previous semesters.

However, Tonya said her presentation was not merely a collection of doomsday predictions.
Tonya said her purpose was to encourage people to set aside their differences and work together to resolve issues facing the world's population.

Tonya, who will be in Lawrence until Tuesday, said that her video presenter, Sally Fitzgerald, charged to any interested group. She may be contacted at her workshop tonight.
