Mail-in fee payment successful

Mail-in fee payment debited this year with few problems and widespread participation, said Richard Morrell, university registrar.
About 17,510 students, or 77 percent of all students on the Lawrence campus who enrolled before Thursday, sent in their payments by Aug. 3. Several hundred more students mailed in fee payments than went to the full payment process last year, Morrell said.
Some 4,040 students, paid at least $100 to save their enrollment, he said. They will pay fees through the old process today and tomorrow. New graduate students and undergraduates enrolling this week will pay Friday.
last year. Morrall said 1,327 people, 31 fewer than last year, had their enrollments dropped. That accounts for 5.8 percent of all those enrolled, slightly lower than the average during recent years.
Fewer students missed fee payment than
"The bottom line is fee payment by mail has had a better response than the other process," Morrell said.
Lauren Goldman, Englewood, Colo. sophomore, said the new way was more convenient.
"I think it's going to make it easier," Stadler said. "I didn't have to come trekking all over campus for a morning. I preferred it this way."
When you come up to school, you have lots of things to worry about, but this is one important part.
Goldman has been in Lawrence during the past week for sorority rush and said the
new process had made fee payment easier for sorority members and rushes.
"For rushees, most of them are so worried about rush, and fee payment is just another burden they have," she said. "It feels like we are going through a schedule. Now we can inst it over with."
Morrell said mail-in fee payment had advantages other than convenience, including having students' updated addresses two weeks earlier than normal.
"Also, we have better information on who will really be here or who won't." Morell said. "Now we know this two weeks before school starts instead of when school is just starting. We have 1327 class schedules to offer. We also have extra weeks to reshuffle class offerings."
"The university operators have a better idea where students are, which is good because students are usually trying to find other students now," he said.
A few students had payments caught up

Bush's campaign gets a boost from two of his former advisers
The Associated Press
Daniels is expected to have a big role overseeing the campaign's communications operation, an adviser said.
HOUSTON — The Bush campaign said yesterday that two veterans from past election victories, former White House aide Mitch Daniels and ad maker Roger Ailes, would be giving advice as it gears up for the fall election.
The adviser said the move occurred because the campaign was not entirely satisfied with current communications director Will Feltus.
“(Daniels will) be primarily working with the ad group and helping them with their campaign themes and messages,” said Tony Mitchell, the Bush campaign’s deputy press secretary.
Daniels, who was White House political director for Ronald Reagan in 1984, returned to help manage Dan Quaylc's troubled campaign in 1988.
Mitchell said Alies had been advising the campaign from the beginning despite his intention to retire from politics.
One adviser said Ales, a close friend of Bush and James A. Baker III, White House chief of staff, would be assuming a larger role in the final stretch as part of a leaner-meaner-campaign shakeup initiated by Baker.
Four years ago, Ales' most notable Bush ads included photos of former Democratic nominee Michael Dukakis sitting awkwardly in a tank and pictures of prisoners walking through revolving doors. The ads sought to portray the Massachusetts governor as weak on defense issues and soft on crime.
Still undecided was whether veteran consultant Ed Rollins would join the Bush campaign after working briefly for the collapsed independent presidential bid of Ross Perot.

Area bars urge student vote on liquor law
By Kristy Dorsey
Kansan staff writer
Bar owners in Douglas County are hoping for heavy support from younger voters Nov. 3 when a county question concerning the sale of liquor by the drink appears on the ballot.
The proposal would supersede 1987 state laws, which require bars to be categorized according to the percentage of total revenue gained through food and liquor sales.
Establishments that earn less than 30 percent of their total revenue from food sales are Class B clubs. State law says these businesses must be members to be club members or guests of member.
Businesses that earn at least 30 percent of their revenue from food sales are listed as
Class D or E clubs, and do not need memberships.
Reed Brinton, owner of Benchwarners, 1601 W. 23rd St., said that the proposal directly affected students.
If liquor by the drink were approved, Class B clubs would not be required to have memberships.
posed. He said that bar owners could designate one weekend when all bars in Lawrence offered discounts on cover charges and drinks for students who have Douglas County voter-registration cards.
Brinton said he and other club owners planned to launch a campaign to encourage students to register and vote for liquor by the drink.
"If you as a student frequent four or five bars, you'll have to pay $50 or $60 in club fees," he said.
Brinton said that he brought the proposal to the county commission during the summer, but that he kept the publicity low-key so as not to give any opposition groups time to organize. Despite this precaution, Brinton said he would expect the proposal to be strongly opposed.
"It's the first time it's a real issue that can affect students and their pocketbook," he said. "It's a benefit for the students to take the time to vote."
Although plans to get students registered won't be definite until the bar owners meet, Brinton said that some ideas had been pro-
He also said that the change in regulations would simplify operations for bar owners. He
As many as 12 Class D and Class E clubs in town are close to or over the line that separates them from Class B status, Brinton said. He said that if these places were audited, they would probably be reclassified as private clubs.
said that Class B clubs must keep separate records for their foot and liquor sales, which are not combined.
Craig Weinaug. Douglas County administrator, said he thought the state laws created unnecessary work for government workers.
"From my point of view, it's a waste of government resources to keep track of the paperwork that these distinctions create," he said. "So going to remove those artificial distinctions."
Rick Younger, owner of Rick's Place, 623
Vermont, said that residents who feel inconvenienced by club memberships and related requirements should vote Nov. 3.
"People say, 'I don't think it's proper, it's not right,' but then they don't go out and vote," he said. "By God, if we don't pass this, I don't want to hear any moaning from people who didn't vote."
Younger said his business recently had moved and added a kitchen, changing its status from a private club to a bar and grill. He said that at his previous establishment, Bogart's, he encountered some difficulties in dealing with the requirements of the state laws.
"One time, we were cited seven times in 15 minutes for something called non-member access," he said.
Early ordering of sports tickets catches fans off guard
By KC Trauer
Kansan staff writer
KU students put on a full-court press for sports combo tickets this year, which left basketball tickets sold out by mid-summer and some students shut out of the game.
The option card system, now in its second year, allows students to order tickets during enrollment. The system drew more responses than last year.
If option cards continue to be popular, a lottery may be created next year to choose who gets basketball tickets, said Diana Miller, ticket manager.
Because of this relatively new system, some students who expected plenty of tickets to be available during the summer and during 'Hawk week were disappoint-
Miller said 6,062 tickets were sold for the 1992-93 sports season. That number plus the 500 seats to student-atheletes put the total at 6,562, which is just above
the 6,500 student capacity for which the office uses. Football tickets still are available.
J. P. Stonestreet, Gardner junior, said that he ordered tickets from a form mailed to him at the start of the summer but that his ticket was knocked with a letter saying tickets were sold.
Sports tickets sold out for the second consecutive year, and for the first time before 'Hawk Week, the week before classes start when students usually return to school. The early sellout caught some students by surprise.
"I sent in the mailer this year because I thought I'd be one step ahead," he said. "I didn't dream that they would be sold out by then. Last year, I bought mine at the office during 'Hawk Week.'"
Miller said students had three ways to buy tickets: completing payment option cards during enrollment, ordering directly from the ticket office before the end of the spring semester or returning the order
forms that were mailed out in May.
After the ticket office received enough order forms to reach its target capacity, it shut down basketball ticket sales and about 200 mailed in checks. Miller said.
She said the office gave students every opportunity it could to buy tickets before
"If the students were here before, they know the procedures and the demand for these tickets," Miller said. "There is no reason if you filled out the option card and knew of business before you left campus last spring that you should not have tickets."
John Economides, Olathe junior, who also ordered his tickets from the order form, said he was upset because the form did not state that the order could be reject-
Miller said: "It has never said that before, either. Nothing with the form is different this year than in the past."
She said students would be involved in forming the process and the rules would be posted far ahead of time.
"The first year less people knew about it than this year," she said. "More people used that option this year. The majority of the tickets were sold through the option."
Because of increasing demand and more students filling out option cards, Miller said, the ticket system probably would move to the lottery system next year.
Meanwhile, the option-card system, an experiment in 1991, has become popular with students, said Kathy Frederickson, assistant in the ticket office.
But John Lord, Omaha, Neb., senior, said,
"Sometimes you deal with so many other things during enrollment that you don't want to deal with gettickets then."
Cory Cooper, Osage City sophomore, said the option cards made it easier to buy tickets. "You make one big check, and you know you have them," Cooper said.
Picking up your tickets
Students who ordered sports combo tickets by filling out option cards during enrollment, ordering at the ticket office last Spring or mailing an order form may pick up their tickets from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., beginning Aug. 31 in the east lobby of Airbnb House. Pick-up dates follow this schedule.
All students need a KUID with a Fall enrollment validation sticker to pick up tickets.
