Enrollment may change . . .
too many students enrolling at one time was to "consider whether we can handle that many students at a time and to put tight limits" in the letter system which admits them.

It's impossible to make changes in departments after students have enrolled, he said. This was one of the problems with early enrollment this summer.
"You must have the computer resources and systems analysis resources, student, faculty and administrative support first," he said.
Enrollment projections up
According to Dyck, it isn't been decided,
yet whether to have pre-enrollment or early
enrollment.
Enrollment on the Lawrence campus this fall is projected to be higher than original projections, Gilbert Dyck, dean of admissions and records, said yesterday.
This year's freshman class is the largest
the University's history, according to
Chancellor David S. Ritchie.
Dykes said yesterday in his convoicement speech that the record freshman enrollment was especially significant because it will be the trend of declining freshman enrollments.
Previous enrollment projections were for 18,600 students, which would have been an increase of about 20 percent.
Official projection figures won't be available until tomorrow, the Office of University Relations said. Previously, the university were provided on the first day of classes.
Max Bickford, executive secretary of the Kansas Board of Regents, said the change was a decision of the Council of Presidents of the state colleges and universities.
He said that the University had studied early enrollment for two or three years and that the council of deans had already approved it.
He said the council was concerned about the accuracy of the official projection and decided to delay its announcement until the fifth day after enrollment.
DYCK SAID SOME faculty members and administrative members weren't sure whether pre-enrollment or early enrollment "is the way to go."
"I think the chancellor will support it, but I'm right now we are trying to get junior staff."
Beisern said the academic affairs committee of the Student Senate had been studying the possibility of alternatives to the present enrollment procedure.
The enrollment figures are officially compiled on the twentieth day after enrolment for the tabulations needed in funding of the schools.
THE FIRST MEETING of this semester we will give four or five possibilities, from enrolment early at the field house to computerized enrollment," Beaulie said.
The council of deans has already dorsed early enrollment, which is a good indication that the faculty as a whole agrees with it, he said.
He said that if a certain system was endorsed by the committee, it would be introduced to the Student Senate and, if he had not been nominated, theancellor Archie R. Dykes for his approval.
BEISNER SAID THAT several years ago the student body rejected plans for early enrollment because they thought they would lose some options such as not getting the times or professors they wanted. But he said those problems would be worked out.

changes by offering more continuing education classes.
"I don't think it's a real possibility to have
"The University now must respond more effectively to this field of growing importance and make continuing education—such as teaching in our academic program," Dykes said. "Well we succeed will be important, I believe, in determining our future status as a university of the front rank and how much support the front of the people of our state."
Dykes...
But Dykes warned that opening the doors of the University to everyone might create problems. He said the talents, aptitudes and ambitions of KU students must be a "continuing concern" if the University was to retain its quality.
But he expressed optimism for the future of the University. He said that it would be easy for the threat of declining enrollment to "consume" the University but that "we must not fall prey to institutional pessimism or self-generated negativism.
"THE PROBLEMS and opportunities before us, it is true, are different from those of it, but the potential for progress within them, or any we have experienced before," he said.
Dykes listed a series of recent develop-
mental matters that offered en-
couragement. Among them
-Approval by the Board of Regents of a 10 per cent salary increase and a 15 per cent bonus
-Percentage pay increases in both cases
—Being ranked as one of the top 50 research schools in the nation.
- Higher enrollment this fall, particularly the record size of the freshman class, which will be used to teach chemistry.
- —Record receipts by the Kansas University Endowment Association last year
- Continuation of the largest construction project in the history of higher education in New York State.
High percentages of alumni support for the University as measured by a recent institute survey.
Dykes concluded his speech with a request for assistance to make the invention.
"Because I believe it is the beacon, not the prod, that brings out the best in us," he said. "I solicit your help and support this morning—as we begin our 1908 year in this district—to prepare for new levels of achievement and excellence and great service to the people of Kansas."
Preston Sisk, chapter president, said yesterday he hoped the chapter, which is a division of the American Theatre Association, also could organize a talent pool for use by civic and community organizations; the division of other campus chapters in Kansas.
Theater students at the University of Kansas have formed a local Student Theatre League to provide better service and stimulate ideas on the theatre.
Jed Davis, director of the KU Theatre, said the primary function of the chapter would be to pressure the national association into providing an efficient placement service and work toward candor in promotion of graduate schools.
Davis is a former president of the national association. The campus chapter system was started in 1972 during his term as president.
Davis said that the Student Theatre League wasn't an official division of the national association but that students permeated the national organization.
Sisk is vice president of the National Student Theatre League and, with several other KU students, attended the annual Student Leadership Association in Minneapolis earlier this month.
The KU chapter help host the central region finale of the American College Football League.
early enrollment by spring." Beisner said. "Departments would have to know schedules beforehand. Right now, that would result in mass confusion."
James Scaly, graduate assistant in English, said early enrollment would be less frustrating to students and faculty members.
Some faculty members said they would support early enrollment.
"WHAT WE NEED is pre-enrollment." Gunther Schlager, professor of systematics.
Other faculty members were unconvinced.
"Conceptually, early enrollment is good," said James Church, associate professor of mathematics, "but in practice it could be either good or bad. I'm apprehensive about whether early computer enrollment would work."
Prices for anti-freeze jump as local supplies dwindle
Joe Yost, an employee in the automotive department at Gibson Discount Center, said yesterday that anti-freeze then in stock probably would be all the store would get.
Anti-Freeze is in short supply and the storage isn't expected to get any better.
He was asked anti-freeze sold for $1.97 at Gibson
Store and was currently selling for $4.79 at a gallon
Dave Hamill, an employee at National Automotive Parts Association, said that the store ordered anti-freeze early in the spring but that the order couldn't be filled.
Harmill said that the store wouldn't get any anti-freeze this year and that the price of anti-freeze would probably go up to $6 a gallon by winter.
Great demand for ethylene glycol, a
synthetic used to make polyester clothing and anti-freeze, is the cause of the shortage.
He said the makers of clothing were paying more for ethylene glycol than anti-freeze producers, which resulted in low production of anti-freeze.
Fibers such as cotton and wool were bought by foreign markets, Hamill said, causing American producers to depend on synthetic fabrics.
Yager said she was unsure whether uvea was a shortage because she had always been a woman.
Sue Yager, manager of Lo-Ball Incorporated, said that anti-freeze at her service station was $4.99 a gallon and that could be able to get anti-freeze this winter.
