Officials consider tuition changes
By ALISON GWINN

Inconsistencies in the amount of money paid for each credit hour taken need to be changed, according to Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor.
Shankel said yesterday at his weekly press conference that fees paid could range from $14 to $40 a credit hour. The amount payed depends on the number of hours a student is enrolled in, he said, and University of Kansas officials think this payment range is an anomaly that needs chancing.
A student taking six hours or less pays $14 per credit hour, but a person taking seven hours Shankel said. As the number of credit hours increases, the amount of money paid for each hour decreases, until the fee of $14 for each hour is reached when a student is enrolled in 20 hours.
In addition, Shankel said, an inconsistency exists between the way that on- and off-campus fee schedules are determined.
OFF-CAMPUS FEE SCHEDULES take into consideration whether a student is enrolling in graduate or undergraduate courses, he said. Undergraduate courses cost $14 for each credit hour, while graduate courses cost $22.
That's the only area in which a distinction is made, he said.
Shankel said a committee would be formed soon to study inconsistencies in the fee
Volunteer service recruiting students
The Volunteer Clearing House will conduct a membership drive today and tomorrow from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the main lobby of the Kansas Union to recruit students interested in helping with community service projects.
Karen Tereshko, office manager at Volunteer Clearing House, said yesterday that she expected at least 200 students to sign up by tomorrow.
"We need students to serve as big brothers and big sisters, teacher's aids, girl scout and boy scout leaders and just about all over Lawrence." Tereshik said.
A total of 311 students worked with Volunteer Cleaning House last year, she said. New students are needed to replace equipment or transferred to different schools.
Volunteer Clearing House, 1143 in the Kansas Union, is the headquarters for staffing 57 community service agencies in the state. Students also assist other people in Lawrence in the direction of community service projects.
schedule to see if it should be rid of its two major anomalies.
The Office of Institutional Research and Planning studied the fee schedule last year, he said, and is presently studying it in conjunction with University officials.
In addition, Shankel told Max Lucas, assistant to the chancellor, met with state architects and engineers for the new visual arts building about a week and a half ago. He also redesigned the building should meet the Nov. 10 deadline established earlier.
LUCAS SAID the mechanical engineer for the building had recently said he would have to adjust his work to fit the redesigned plans for the building and he wouldn't have to redo the buildings until January 1976, meaning that bids cannot be accepted until February.
However, at a meeting between the state architects, the engineer and Lucas, the engineer said that he had misunderstood the architect's plans for redesign. He said he was readjusting his blueprints to the new designs and would then estimate a new date for the completion of his engineering adjustments, Lucas said.
No actual death was set for completion of the redesign, he said, but the data won't be available. "We'll wait."
Shankel announced enrollment in the Topeka capital complex management program has increased this year to 123 students more than last year's enrollment.
Shankel also said that a space assignment committee had been formed to examine University buildings that will be vacated in the next few years for space.
The completion of the visual arts building will free the third floor of Strong Hall, some space in 'Flint Hall and spaces in 11 other buildings, he said.
A MOVE BY the endowment association to west campus will free the first space to be discussed by the space assignment committee, Shankel said. Letters have been sent to faculty members and administrators inviting them to apply for the space.
Mixer attracts throng of locals
More than 625 Lawrence residents turned out last night for the KU Affairs Mixer, an annual event sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce in New York University of Kansas faculty members.
Almost all members of the Lawrence City Commission and the KU administration were present, including Del Shankel, Karen Schwartzman, Larry Vaccari, her vice chancellor for business affairs.
The crowd filled dozens of tables under a huge tent set up at Meadowbrook Apartments for the event. Chancellor Archie R. Dykes, May Barkley Clark and Alk H presidend of the Chamber of Commerce, made brief remarks to the crowd.
Joe Santailaria, Eldridge House caterer,
said the attendance was much larger than last year. He said the crowd consumed 150 lbs. of roast beef, 150 lbs. of ham, 250 lbs. of chicken, 200 lbs. of baked beans and 45 cases of beer.
