Year wait needed for residency
Although out-of-state students now have to wait six months longer to obtain residency in the state of Kansas, residence will still be determined as it always has been.
The Kansas Board of Regents decided Tuesday to alter student residency rules to comply with a recent state law which mandated waiting period from six months to one year.
But, Max Bickford, executive officer of the Regents, said "We really don't change anything, except that you must live in Kansas one year before you can apply."
Bickford said that residency was a matter of intent, and was determined by such matters as where a student obtained financial support, where he spent his summers, where he voted and whether he paid state taxes.

Some of the changes Henderson is making concern grievances foreign students voiced in recent weeks.
The students then complained about having to attend classes in Foster Hall. They also complained about the quality of their teaching, and some students without adequate training to teach English as a second language and who spent much time teaching them. Students taking them for the ones they were teacher's;
IEC classes were moved last summer from Foster Hall to Wesco Hall. They are now teaching the 1st year Flint and Fraser labs. Henderson said that although it was more difficult for him to keep abreast of what was happening in the students were more comfortable.
"It integrates the foreign students' classes with university life," he said. "They're not segregated in an old building."
Henderson said the standards of teaching were fairly high this term. There is no one on the staff who has not had some training or experience with foreign students, he said.
However, Henderson said he intended to hold regular workshops for teachers and to teach the basics.
"We'll be constantly evaluating and
asking the teachers improve their
skills," she said.
In response to student complaints last year, committees were set up to handle student grievances. Henderson said he intended to continue those committees with the goal of improving communication with students, although he couldn't say how effective they had been.
Gathercole, a member of a grievance committee last semester, said, "They went kind of slow but they accepted the act. They studied students in contact. We achieved some communication."
One problem Henderson said he hoped to solve this year was a lack of clarity about the English proficiency standards for some courses.
The IEC recommends standards of proficiency for excelling in courses but it allows a student at virtually any level of proficiency to take a course if the department is willing.
Henderson said he hoped to meet with people from the admissions office to determine specific criteria for allowing students to enroll in University classes.
He said he didn't find any great student dissatisfaction when he came to KU. The problems of a year ago will not seem so menacing in another year, he said.
"None of these things, in themselves, can cause a person to obtain residency automatically," he said. "Each person's application is done on an individual basis."
During Tuesday's meeting, the Regents attempted to "clean up the language and get some detailed listings" of what factors are involved in a crime, although no factors were removed or added.
Mike Davis, general counsel who worked with the Regents on revising rules for residency, said the rules fell into two categories.
One category includes things that a student should do if he wants to be a Kansas resident, but that don't necessarily imply that he'll be given residency. These practices include registering to vote, obtaining car licenses and paving taxes.
The second category includes practices that suggest that the student intends to remain in the state indefinitely, such as permanent employment, dependency on state sources and continued residency in Kansas when school isn't in session.
Davis said the purpose of revising the residency rules was to set out clearly what committees determining residency had always considered when a student applied for residency. For example, students can check the criteria for residency before they apply, he said.
Between 20 and 25 per cent of the students at the University of Kansas are non-residents, he said. Each non-resident must outspend $400 a semester more than each resident.
GU Dyck, dean of admissions and records, said the principle behind the law hadn't changed, although he said some students would move into the state in January expecting to establish residency by the fall semester of 1978.
Between 500 and 600 students apply for residency in the fall semester of each year, and about 400 students apply each spring semester, he said.
"We're just carrying out the law," Dyck said. "It's a difficult law to administer and try to do a fair job. And when there's $800 million, people think they are treated unifairly."
A committee from the University community decides upon a person's residency to begin working there.
He said that most students have higher fees for non-resident students than they have for resident students, and that the percentage of students with KCT hadn't really changed over the years.
"I think students come here because of our academic programs, not because of our social issues."
None of the five JBirk-Sykh heart valves implanted in KU Medical Center patients
About 200 of the possibly defective heart valves, manufactured between February 1973 and July 1975, were recalled recently by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Robert Reis, chief of cardiothoracic surgery section at the Med Center, said Tuesday, "All of the people have been seen recently and none of the five are truly at number of weeks ago we weren't but now we know we have no patients at risk."
To find out whether any Med Center patients had the defective valve, the serial numbers of the recalled valves were checked against the serial numbers of the five implanted valves. None of the defective valves were implanted in Med Center patients.
According to the FDA, 54 of the possibly defective heart valves have been implanted in open heart surgery patients across the country. The American Heart Association, by Shile Laboratories of Santa Ana, Calif.
According to Reis, the defective part of the Bjork-Silkley valve is a metal strut that holds the valve in place. If the strut were to break, the valve would swell and blood to slush back and back forth in the heart.
Med Center heart valves not defective
being a heart pacemaker recall. He thought recalls would be fewer in the future.
Reis said action was being taken to prevent the need for future recalls.
One of the deaths involved a patient at St. Francis Hospital in Wichita.
"I would anticipate fewer recalls as better techniques of manufacturing and quality control improve," he said. "But by 2016, the industry has been an excellent one.
The FDA said three of the valves had been partially to blame in two deaths and one injury.
“This has happened before,” he said. “Currently before Congress is some medical legislation that will put some additional structure in this area.”
