Mix-up causes delay in mailing
Permit-to-enroll forms should be sent by Monday
By KC Trauer Kansan staff writer
A computer nux-up during the printing of permit-to-enroll forms has delayed the University's sending students those forms, which officials said should arrive by Monday.
Workers noticed Friday that about 90 percent of the forms had enrollment holds for not documenting immunization shots, said Richard Morrell, University registrar.
Morrell said the registrar's office began reprinting the forms Monday and began mailing them yesterday.
"We're confident most students will have permits in hand by Monday, if not sooner," he said.
Morrell said the permits students used to enroll in professional schools
However, students enrolled in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, including most freshmen and sophomores, will receive two letters, he said.
One letter will include advising information, ARTS forms used in advising and the incorrect permit-to-roll form, which will be printed on legal-sized paper. Students should use everything in the letter except the
A second, corrected permit form, printed on letter-sized paper, will arrive either the same day as the first or soon after.
permit, Morrell said.
Enrollment holds listed on the second letter will be correct, Morrell said.
Pam Houston, director of the college undergraduate services, said that if students did not update their school addresses during fee payment, the permits might take longer to reach their correct addresses.
Because some students may not have known their addresses when they sent in their mail-in fee payments, the University may not have their correct addresses.
Advising for most schools begins
Monday, but the delay should not affect the advising process too much, said Joe Van Zandt, advising coordinator for the college.
Houston said the delay might cause more students to wait until the second week, which is usually busy anyway.
"Some departments did ask for students to sign up start Monday," Van Zandt said. "They need to contact those students or be understanding of those who didn't show up for advising right away."
"Students should go to advising as soon as they get their form," she said. "There is usually a rush on advising on the second week, and that makes it uncomfortable for both students and advisers."

Student Senate argues for lower drinking age

Student Senate's student rights committee members passed a resolution, 15 to 1, last night that would urge presidential candidates to lower the legal drinking age to 18.
The resolution was sent to KU's Senate and about 200 other university's senates by a Duke University student. If passed, Senate would send a copy of the resolution to each presidential candidate.
"If you go into any classroom and take a straw poll, I'm most sure of the students there will agree that the drinking age is unjust," said Andy Shore, Glencoe, III, senior.
Shore, who sponsored the resolution, said that he felt the resolution reflected the will of the student body and he urged the committee to pass it. He reminded its members that they were voting not as individuals, but as representatives of the entire student body.
Danny Kaiser, assistant dean of student life and Senate advisor, said he thought that the federal government's decision to raise the drinking age to 21 was a mistake. He said that responsible consumption of alcohol needed to be addressed on college campuses, but he said that it was hypocritical to teach teenagers to manage alcohol responsibly when they could not legally drink.
Daron Sinkler, Shawnee senior, said, "Passing this resolution is very embarrassing for Kansas, and I'd rather not have the University's name on it."
Only three committee members opposed the original resolution They thought the resolution would cause people to question Senate's credibility.
However, Sinkler and Travis
Harrod, Topeka junior, changed their positions after Jennifer LaMeli, Lake Forest, Ill., junior, suggested an amendment to the resolution, which was later adopted.
The amendment listed some of the privileges and responsibilities given to 18-year-olds. Her examples included that 18-year-olds could vote, be forced to support themselves, be drafted into the military, file for unemployment and get married.
"A lot of senators will probably agree, but a lot will be afraid to put Student Senate's logo on it." Steel said. "Besides, no national figure is going to touch this during an election year."
In other business:
Senate's finance committee voted to finance KU's student Lecture Series, but not before cutting its $20,000 request in half. Last year the lecture series brought Peter Arnett, a Cable News Network gulf war correspondent, to speak at Allen Field House.
"It isn't what we wanted, but we're going to try to pull it off anyway," said Leslie Lancaster, Edina, Minn., senior, the senator who sponsored the bill. "Hopefully we can get some other support, but if worse comes to worse, we could charge a buck at the door."
The committee also approved $12,170 to finance the Black Student Union's Big Eight Conference on Black Student Government, which will take place at the University in February. It also funded Hispanic-American Leadership Organization's Hispanic Heritage Month for $500.
It tabled three bills — $109 for the KU Genetics Society, $209 for the Chinese Student Association and $750 to finance the Engineering Council.
Judge dismisses case against alcohol board
Kansan staff writer

A case that would have restricted the activities of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Bureau was dismissed yesterday in Douglas County District Court.
Whitney Blake, Lawrence junior, filed a petition Sept. 23 for a temporary restraining order and permanent injunction against Robert Engler, the director of the bureau, according to court records.
ABC is the liquor law enforcement arm of the Kansas Department of Revenue. Its primary duty is to enforce registration laws pertaining to liquor-serving establishments, but its agents do have the authority to arrest underage drinkers, said Dan Riley, an assistant attorney general representing ABC.
The petition would have prohibited ABC agents from requesting identification from people in a liquor-serving establishment without informing them that they had a right to refuse. The petition also would have prevented ABC from compelling a person to answer agent's questions.
David Gottlieb, professor of law, said that the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibited unreasonable searches and seizures. He said searches had been interpreted by the courts to include questioning.
Conference to talk business with entrepreneurs
"I don't think there any statutory authority, whether it's given to a regular cop or anyone else, to force you to turn over identification," he said. "But on the other hand, there's nothing under the Fourth Amendment that forces them to announce that you have a right to refuse."
Strole argued that in light of that agreement, Blake could be prosecuted on the DUI conviction even if she were falsely accused of drinking by an ABC agent.
The petition was dismissed by Judge Michael Malone because he said that Blake, 21, was never directly affected by the activities of the agents and therefore had no ground to petition.
Bv Kristi Fogler
Donald Strole, Blake's attorney, disagreed. According to Blake's testimony yesterday, she is currently under a diversion agreement in Johnson County because of a previous DUI arrest. The two-year agreement stipulates that she cannot consume alcohol or she will be prosecuted for DUI.

The conference will focus on issues concerning today's business world, including how to finance a business, make contacts and increase motivation, said Eli Muhl, Salina senior and ACE member.
"Students can get a lot of information on what's going on in the real world, how jobs are created and how past entrepreneurs made it." Multi-phase learning.
Muhl said nationally-renowned motivational speaker Jim Miller would be one of the highlights of the conference. John Carlin, former Kansas governor, Gayle Sanders, president of Martin-Logan, Ltd., a high-tech audio speaker company, and Greg and Pam Spaulding, owners of a pharmaceutical equipment company, also are scheduled to speak.
Muhl said ACE expected 100 students and professionals from Kansas and Missouri to participate in the conference.
Conference participation is not limited to business students, ACE members or professionals but open to anyone, said Curtis Marsh, Leavenworth senior and co-organizer of the conference.
"Having an entrepreneurial spirit is something that can help anyone," he said. "Regardless of what you do, you have to deal with the business world. The entrepreneurial spirit is when someone's got a very good idea on what they want out of life and goes it."
The conference will start tomorrow night with a dinner at the Adams Alumni Center. It will continue all day Saturday and conclude
