Committee begins study of pre-enrollment plans
By ALAN MANSAGER
Senate Reporter
Four early-enrollment plans are being considered for the University of Kansas by the academic affairs committee of the Student Senate.
John Beisner, student body president,
submitted the ideas to the committee last
night after a summer-long study of early-
enrollment systems used by area universities
and consultation with Gilbert Dyck,
director of admissions, about the systems.
One early-enrollment plan subdivides, for consideration would use the same system now in use at the University, except that enrollment would be completed earlier. Beisner said this option was the only one in which Allen Field House would be used.
Another system of early enrollment under study by the committee is the "computer sectioning programming," a plan similar to the one used in Kansas State University.
He said this plan would solve few problems that existed in the present environment.
Under this program, students would pick up course cards which designate only the name of the class, not the time or the secu-
tion of their lesson. They place block cards into the computer along with their course cards, which tell the computer the times in which a student doesn't want classes. At K-State, students can't wear shoes for not wanting classes at certain times.
After the block cards and course cards are submitted to the computer, they are analyzed and the student receives the sections and times for his courses.
If a student is unhappy with certain classes, he is allowed to drop or add others as needed.
The terminal enrollment system was the third plan submitted to the committee. Weisner said this number of enrollment users used the University of Minnesota for the 1975 fall term.
This form of enrollment gives immediate
feedback to the student. He submits his schedule to the computer and is given confirmation of his classes if there aren't any conflicts. If a certain class is already filled, the computer shows the conflict and the student chooses another class.
All of this is done a semester early through various terminals connected to a computer.
After the timetable is assembled, a terminal can be placed through the terminal equipment exist.
The fourth enrollment plan under consideration is the optical scanning method. Here, students indicate their class requests and a model timetable is designed according to students' requests. With this design departments are able to design their classes.
One of the problems that can occur with early enrollment, according to Beisner, is that in most cases departments would have to make out their budgets blindly. He said early enrollment would also require a change in departmental planning. He said if an early-enrollment system totally based on the student's enrollment procedures would remain the same because they are already heavily dependent on computers.
He said the expense of going to an all-computerized enrollment would be minimal. He said there was a chance the Lawrence campus could use the computer at the University of Kansas Medical Center for semester or until it could purchase its own.
Beisner said any system chosen for early enrollment would be too difficult to arrange
Beinser said the state funds would pay for the new computer system chosen for the University.
Chris Davis, chairman of the committee,
said the committee would meet with Dyck
sometime next week to examine the early-
enrollment possibilities in depth.
AAUP members to oppose state labor bill in Topeka
A bill that叫 University of Kansas professors has called "ant-labor" will be considered the interim subcommittee of Kansas Hospitals and Means Commission in hearings today.
Members of the KU branch of the American Association of University Professors (AUP) will present their opinions on the bill during the hearings. They have said that the bill was against collective bargaining by state employees.
Administrators at the University studied the preliminary draft of the bill. They will decide whether to send a representative to Topeka for the hearing.
The proposed bill is entitled "an act concerning public employee-employer relations of the state and its employees." According to the AUP committee, the proposed law would counteract the present state law governing collective bargaining.
Nick Llo Burgio, assistant to the director of labor relations at KU, said the proposal would simplify contract negotiations for students in the state school system negotiations at state schools more difficult.
The AAUP listed a number of reasons why it was opposed to the bill.
Charles Krider, assistant professor of business, said the collective bargaining process is a key part of the job.
it was favorable to the state and not to the state's employees.
He also said the bill limited the number of things that could be bargained on at one time, as well as precisely what was negotiable.
Another complaint made against the bill by faculty members was that it was vague and didn't specify which state employees were included in the provisions.
Grant K. Goodman, professor of history and East Asian studies, said the proposal didn't consider the needs of unclassified employees. Unclassified employees include teachers.
Another facet of the proposal objected to by the group of professors was that it restricted the rights of a University group to hold money for a candidate for public office.
William D. Paden, professor emeritus of English, said he didn't expect much reaction to the proposed bill from other state colleges.
The "AAPU throughout the state has an insufficient indifference to collective battle"
The AAPU committee agreed to oppose the bill at the hearing because it would prevent the current law from having a clear legal basis. It emphasize the inconsistencies of the bill.
