Officers to hear students
By a Kansan reporter
Jason Krakow, student body president, and Stephanie Quincy, student body vice president, will be on hand with several student senators to discuss such issues as admissions policies, add-drop procedures, and the Board of Regents Margin of Excellence proposal and financial aid.
Student body officers and student senators will discuss University issues with KU students at a "Town Meeting" at 7:30 p.m. today in Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Krakow said students also may want to discuss what Student Senate committees are examining, such as the extension of Watson Library hours and the establishment of a grade appeals board.
"I just want to hear what people have to say," Krakow said.
Recently, controversy has surounded the Senate's attendance policy. Some senators say the policy makes it difficult for athletics officials to compete. Others say the policy is fair and affects all senators equally.
But the attendance policy might not be discussed at the meeting.
"There are certainly more pertinent issues to discuss," Krakow said.

GTA workload up official tells SenEx
By NOEL GERDES
The ratio of students to full-time teachers was 22 to 1 in 1983 and 24.5 to 1 in 1986. Ramalay said she expected the ratio to remain the same for 1987.
Staff writer
Graduate teaching assistants teach more students because of increased enrollment, but full-time faculty members do not, Judith Ramaley, the professor for years after at the University Senate Executive Committee meeting.
Ramaley was asked to report the effect of increased fall enrollment on faculty workloads at last week's meeting.
Ramaley said her information came from the office of institutional research and planning. The information reflects trends for the entire industry, and may not be representative in an individual department, she said.
The number of freshmen-sophomore classes taught by GTAs has increased by about 10 percent since 1983. Ramaley said. But the number of freshmen-sophomore classes taught by full-time faculty has remained stable.
Although most of Ramaley's report seemed grim, not all of the numbers were a disappointment.
Nationally, no more than 30 percent of freshman-sophomore classes are taught by GTAS, as but at KU, the number of freshman-sophomore
more level classes taught by GTAs approaches 50 percent.
Also, the ratio of full-time equivalent students to full-time equivalent instructional staff was 16.4 to 1 in 1983 and 17.5 to 1 in 1987. FTE instructional staff includes full-time teachers, part-time teachers and GTAs.
"Too many courses are taught by GTAs," Ramaley said.
Ramaley said that increased enrollment had no effect on University class sizes.
"I was amazed to find out that 70 percent of undergraduate classes at KU have enrollments of 29 students," he said. "I am a national figure, that's very unusual."
In other action, SenEx discussed a proposal to change the add-drop period and endorsed a new KU police videotaping policy.
