Administrators are anticipating enrollment jump
By AMBER STENGER
Staff writer
Last fall, students had to sit on the floor because classroom seats were full. Professors found the class rosters useless because they weren't accurate, and administrators had to work late into the evening.
This year may be as hectic as last year. Even though administrators have last year's experience to guide them, they don't know what to expect yet. So they're trying to prepare for expecty.
tour enrollment at KU's Lawrence campus was about 23,500 last fall. Last spring, 19,099 students pre-enrolled. An additional 4,851 students enrolled for the fall semester at summer orientation sessions. Some of these enrolled students will drop out. However if all the enrolled students pay fees this week and 1,789 students participate, it be 23,950. However, some University administrators estimate that up to 1,000 more students will enroll this week, pushing Lawrence campus enrollment to almost 25,000.
Brower Burchill, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs, explained that students enrolling this week would include students who did not pre-enroll in the spring, new students who did not enroll at a summer orientation session, and readmitted students who had failed the course and attend classes this semester. There is no way to accurately determine how many of these students will enroll this week he said.
W. Wes Williams, dean of educational services, and Bruce Lindvall, director of admissions, said they anticipate that from 500 to 1,000 additional students will enroll this week.

The University tried to learn from the horrors of last fall. This year, the university has increased the number of students of some classes, Burchill said.
About 1,000 new students can be
accommodated, Burchill said. However, the University would be pushing its limits if more than 1,000 show up.
"If more than 1,000 new students enroll this week, students will have to be satisfied with less than desirable schedules," Burchell said. "It is not just a matter of money. We need it to teach and space to hold classes."
Money probably will be available to hire new instructors for next year; however, space for classes will be the real problem in the future. Burchell
About 200 courses have been closed as of Aug. 15, including Biology 104, History 100 and Mathematics 105, English 106 and French 113 are of about 70 courses that have been cancelled. An updated course availability list will be posted today in front of the enrollment center in Strong
"Strategically, I think the administrators have done a great job," Dubick said. "No student will have to take things that will not help them toward graduation. There is no way it can get it a half-way decent schedule."
Students who need to alter their schedules may add and drop classes from Aug. 24 to Sept. 4 at the enrollment center.
Dubrick said that despite improvements on last year's enrollment process, the problem of overcrowded classrooms remains.
For example, Dubnick will teach a 100-level class in a classroom that has 56 seats, but there are 55 students enrolled in the class. Dubnick said he people dropping the class, or he said he dask for more chairs in the room.

Chancellor Gene A. Budig, football coach Bob Valenteş and other members of KU's staff and faculty had the task of passing on the University's knowledge to players of "Hawk Week" which runs from Aug. 17 to 21.
The ceremony is part of the week's series of
workshops and presentations designed to help nearly 6,000 new students become more familiar
Budig was quick to establish the theme of the evening.
"Tradition and will remain a big part of the University of Kansas," Budiq said. Professors, he said, "are a very important part of our contemporary tradition."
James Carothers, associate dean of liberal arts and sciences, explained the origins of the waving of the wheat, the crimson and blue as school colors. Ms. Carothers was a teacher at the Jawhawk as school mascot. He emphasized the
importance of the University's people in maintaining its traditions.
"The traditions of the University are far more than bricks and mortar . . . it' s a family of people." Carothers said.
Valesente shared that sentiment
"Welcome to the KU family, it's a great family to be a part of," he said. "You're a part of one of the greatest universities not only in the country but in the world."
Bob Frederick, new athletic director who spoke about KU's athletic traditions, also emphasized

Raising the rates Tuition increases for all KU students
Staff writer
By BRAD ADDINGTON
All KU students — resident and non-resident, graduate and undergraduate — will pay higher tuition this fall.
Undergraduate residents will pay $622.50, a 2.7 percent increase from the $645 they paid last fall. Undergraduate non-residents will pay $1,747.50, a 2.9 percent increase from the last fall's $1,600.
Graduate residents will pay $722.50, a 2.5 percent increase from the $705 they paid last year. Graduate non-residents will pay $1,807.50, an 9.9 percent increase from last year's $1,660.
Stanley Koplik, executive director of the Kansas Board of Regents, which governs state universities, states that increased enrollment increases would affect enrollment.

Tom Rawson, director of business and fiscal affairs for the Lawrence campus, said the Regents had raised tuition this year for two reasons. The first is the Regents agreement with the state Legislature to have students at Regents institutions pay about 25 percent of the cost of their school.
the second reason is tuition increases at KU's peer institutions, which are universities similar to KU. They are the universities of Colorado, Iowa, North Carolina, Oklahoma and Oregon.

At KU, all students will pay $127.50 in special fees this semester. That money goes toward a student health fee, a Kansas Union fee, a Student
Senate activity fee and a women's and non-revenue sports fee.
KU's special fees increased $2.50 from last year because of an increase in the women's and non-revenue sports fees from $6.50 to $9.
Smoking details in air
Administrators to set policies for campus buildings
By MARK TILFORD
Welcome to please-put-out-your Mariboro country.
Graham Fraser, Lancaster, England, junior, had just finished a cigarette Monday in the entrance to the Kansas Union. Under University of Kansas compliance with a new state law, that area should be non-smoking. But Monday, no signs were apparent.
Fraser said he wasn't aware of the new restrictions.
"I try never to smoke where it offends people," he said. "When I put in my roommate application at College Hall, I checked non-smoking."
The law may not cause problems for Fraser, but many administrators are working to translate the law into specific policies for KU buildings.
The state law went into effect July 1, and Del Shankel, acting executive vice chancellor during the summer, joined University's policy in a July 7 memo.
The memo essentially reverses the former policy, which allowed smoking in all areas except those marked as non-smoking. Now, all University
Buildings are non-smoking except those areas marked as smoking.
At residence halls, the decision on where to designate smoking and non-smoking areas is still up in the air. The state's office of the office of residential programs

any smoking is allowed in them, it
probably will be in specific areas.
But upstairs rooms may be handled differently.
"We always try to match smokers with other smokers as roommates." McElhene said. "It would be very difficult for someone to smoke in the privacy of their room."
At Wescoe and Learned halls, policies haven't been set either.

At Murphy Hall and other arts buildings, some areas will be exceptions to the rule, said Peter Thompson, dean of fine arts.

Laws hurt bars, owners say
By JAVAN OWENS
Staff writer
Lawrence bar owners are scrambling to adjust to new Kansas drinkig laws that many of them say have only hindered their businesses.
Fewer students now frequent the drinking establishments that used to be landmarks of Lawrence, the owners say. As of July 1, persons in Kansas must be 21 years old before they can consume any alcoholic beverage.
Another new law — liquor by-the-drink — that some owners thought would give relief from the loss of 18 to 20-year-olds, actually has offered little aid to area bars because of stringent requirements attached to
Before liquor-by-the-drink was passed last fall by a majority of Kansas voters, including Douglas
County voters, Kansas bars were classified as either taverns or clubs Taverns sell only 3.2 beer. Clubs may serve to persons with club memberships.
The amendment created a third type of bar that can sell liquor without requiring a club membership as long as 30 percent of their business
Jeff Tschuld, manager of the Rock Chalk Bar, 618 W. 12th St., said that although people under 21 could no longer go to his bar, the Rock Chalk would remain open for the remainder of the year as a bar that serves 3.2 beer. But Tschuld the bar will be sold in January.
"We're going to keep it like this for the last semester — we want to make this place as easy as possible." I say, "I'm going to what's going to happen to it. This is
enough of a landmark where it could survive in the future."
Tschudy said the new laws hurt students the most.
"I don't know what 18, 19, and 20-year olds do — it must be tough on them," he said.
Ken Wallace, owner of the Jayhawk Cafe, 1340 Ohio St., agreed. New problems will accompany the new drinking age, he said.
"All this law has done has shifted the drinking from supervised places to unsupervised places," Wallace said. "There's a considerable greater amount of drinking in cars, on porches and in the streets."
"It's ludicrous, motivated by politics without any consideration for lactic or ethics."
Wallace said he was applying for a
