ACCORDING TO Hardcastle, Ewalt should do an "excellent job as dean." The dean, Patricia Ewalt, received the position of actant deen after David Hardcastek resigned from the job last year. Mr. Hardcastek was a teaching position within the school "I'd been dean for six years," Hardcastle said. "Dr. Ewalt was my associate dean for three years. She's very capable of doing a fine job." Ewalt was chairman of a clinical concentration committee her first two years at KU. She said the committee must examine the school's teaching curriculum. She was then associate dean for three years before her appointment as dean. EWAIAT, A native of Massachusetts, said she first became interested in social work while employed at a mental health center in Boston. Adams Center work ahead of schedule Construction of the K.S.

BOX 3447 LAWRENCE, KS 68044 Official says enrollment smooth despite conversion By SALLY JOY OMUNDSON Staff Reporter The timing of the new early enrollment system has caused problems, but the new system has worked well considering the extent of the change, the director of educational services said yesterday. Many students have blamed the new enrollment system for the large number of closed classes, but the closings were caused by budget reductions made last summer, said Gary Thompson, the director. those reductions may have made this semester one of the best times to try the new enrollment system. Thompson said. The system saves money by allowing the administration to determine KU's needs before classes begin and make adjustments in advance, he said. Official e1,olliment figures probably will not be available from the administration until Feb. 9. Thompson said. THE UNIVERSITY had already cancelled more than 500 students' early enrollment when they did not pay their fees as scheduled on Monday and Tuesday, but Thursday, when classes changed in the number of students attending classes this spring. Although the enrollment process was improved, the system is not perfect. Thompson said Eventually students able to pay their fees through the mail. Michael Young, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said advising had been a large problem. Thirty percent of the student body were not needed to register when the two-week advising period ended in November. YOUNG, WHO is responsible for undergraduate advising, then extended the deadline for getting a dean's stamp by three weeks. More than 1,500 letters were mailed to those students who had failed to enroll after the extension date, Young said. Young said he sympathized with the complaints of some faculty members about the expense of mailing those emails to students' budget reductions, but he did not agree. "This is a major change and you have to learn the new rules all over again." Next time around will be much easier,' Young said. TWO LARGE problems with advising slowed early enrollment. Young said. Students were slow to go to their classes and teachers were assigned too many students. In the future, the University will try to establish more realistic deadlines, distribute student folders earlier and later, and teach students each advisor sees. Young said Last semester some advisers spoke to more than 80 students. Ideally, each adviser would see about 10 students, Young said. 23rd & Ousdahl So. Hills Center 842-3977 NOW OPEN!
