Enrollment surges, congestion subsides
By KEN FULTON Kansan Staff Reporter
Spring semester enrollment at the University of Kansas has reached a record high with the largest spring to spring enrolment increase in University history.
But despite the increased numbers, enrollment was made easier for many students.
Dyck said enrollment on the Lawrence
dysk was 18,350 students, compared to
16,924 a year ago. First day of class figures
in January were up from 1,498 last spring,
increase to 1,498 from 1,498 last spring.
Gil Dyck, dean of admissions and records,
said Monday that enrollment for the first
days of classes on the Lawrencio and Kansas
university campus in St. Louis increased
of 4,188 students over spring 1974.
The Board of Regents has set the 20th day of classes as the deadline for final official enrollment. Dyck estimated that there would be 21,343 students officially enrolled for the spring semester. This would be an increase over the official figure for spring 1974.
The estimate for the Lawrence campus is 19,600 an increase of more than 1,600 students. The estimate for the Kansas City campus is 107 over last year's enrollment.
Many individual schools said they were unable to draw definite conclusions so soon after enrollment, but reported apparent increases in enrollment.
John Tollefonso, associate dean of the School of Business, said he thought spring enrollment was probably up since fall enrollment was substantially higher than during the winter and that most of the large 600-level classes were filled and students had to be turned away.
Lym Taylor, dean of the School of Religion, said course registration in religion classes for the spring semester was approximately 15 per cent above that of last year and 30 per cent of Arts in Religion Program increased by one per cent in the same period. Taylor said.
The School of Journalism reported an increase in the number of students and in the number of journalism courses taken. Del Brinkman, acting dean of the School of Journalism, said a record 656 students attended the school. Del Brinkman said 656 students ended last spring.
The department of mathematics, which had a 25 per cent fall to fall increase in enrollment last semester, had another substantial increase this semester. Russell Bradt, professor of mathematics, said the department's courses was in 35 per cent from last spring.
Even though enrollment reached a record high, the procedure seemed smoother and less complicated. The Donald Metzler, associate dean of the School of Engineering, said that so many students had enrolled by the field house hadn't seemed crowded to him.
"There was no congestion anywhere," he said.
The new enrollment system had freshmen and sophomores enrolling by letter schedule head of by Collegees-Winifh-TheCollege. Each freshman and sophomore to a specific each freshman and sophomore to a specific
adviser instead of having group advising sessions.
Jerry Lewis, director of freman and sophomore advising, said the new system
Enrolling by the letter schedule evening out the flow of students and eliminated most of the lines inside Allen Field House, Lewis said.
He said the new advising system allowed the students to see an adviser individually. In most cases the adviser is in the department in which the student plans to major, Lewis said, and the students have the same adviser for two years. This helps develop a sense of responsibility, one of the few opportunities for students to know a member of the faculty. Lewis said
Beginning this spring, Lewis said, incoming freshmen will know, before they graduate from high school, who their advisers are and where they are.
Although this new enrollment system can't be considered a prelude to pre-enrollment, it does lay a foundation that will make pre-enrollment easier. Lewis said.
A three team race for student body president and vice president appears to be developing as the 5 p.m. Wednesday filing deadline draws near.
KU election to be 3-way race
By DON SMITH Kansan Staff Reporter
Ed Rolfs, a student senator and an unsuccessful candidate for president last year, said Monday that he planned to file for president Wednesday. His running mate will be Mary Lou Reece, who is also a senator.
Barbara O'Brien, a two-term senator, said she would file for president Wednesday. Her running mate will be another Republican and a member of the Senate Transportation Committee.
The Rolfs-Reece ticket was the first to announce for offices. Recently, Rolfs said that the most important issue in his campaign would be the priority that classroom teaching received in a central administration report released last fall.
Paul Sherbo, Colorado Springs junior, and his running mate, Gerry Long, Kansas City, Kan., junior, also will file Wednesday, according to Sherbo.
"As we said in our announcement
statement, the first and most important issue will be the priorities assigned to improve classroom teaching. Late last semester, the central administration ranked improvement teaching sixth in all categories. We should strongly be should No. 1," Roals said.
Rolfs also said athletics would be an issue.
"The whole question of ticket prices and the resignation of Don Fambrough and the way the athletic department and athletic corporation function will be an issue."
In a prepared statement released Monday, Sherbo said he would propose the abolishment of the department of security and parking; call for the resignation of Clyde Walker, athletic director; work for an immediate reduction of residence hall costs, and support senate funding to extend the hours of Watson Library.
In his statement, Sherbo said that if he received don't accept the president's statement.
"As a sign that my candidacy is entirely proposal-oriented, I wish to state that, in the event that I were elected, I would not accept the salary or other monetary
