Enrollment nears goal, official savs
The University will approach and possibly reach its goal of pre-employing 18,000 students this fall, a KU official said yesterday.
Gary Thompson, director of student records and registration, said that between 900 and 1,500 students had enrolled each day since the process began Nov. 3. Early enrollment ends Nov. 23
Thompson declined to say exactly how many students had enrolled.
"We're hoping to get 18,000 through early enrollment," he said. "We're going to come close."
THE ENROLMENT HIT a snag last week when computer problems forced some students to stand in line half an hour longer than they should
But Thompson said the computer
problems had not thrown early enrollment off schedule.
Considering it's the first time around, things have gone really, really well," he said.
But the process has not been so smooth for some students.
Thompson said about 100 students had been kept from enrolling in college, and that permission of the instructor because they had not acquired a permission card.
STUDENTS WHO DO NOT have the permission card must wait until the early add and drop period that starts with the student. Be sure they can enroll in the courses.
"They needed that approval but they just didn't have it, so we turned them down." he said.
"When you consider how much of a
major change this was, it's a pretty minor problem."
The lines in the late afternoon are getting longer, he said, because more students are starting to enroll during a special afternoon period for those who missed their scheduled enrollment time.
"What's happening is that each day's catch-up period is a little bit more than the day before," he said.
Comments from students have been favorable so for, he said.
ALTHOUGH HE WOULD not release any figures, Thompson said that more than 75 percent of seniors went through early enrollment. Seniors were scheduled to enroll during the first few days of enrollment.
"The vast majority of responses from students is 'Boy, this really went fast,' he said.
Value of calendar change disputed
By DIRK MILLER Staff Reporter
Business officials at some Kansas Board of Regents institutions said yesterday that the savings resulting from a proposed change in the academic calendar probably would not amount to much.
The officers are expected to compare the savings of each school at the Council of Business Officer's meeting in Topeka on Thursday.
The proposed calendar change would set the fall semester back a week, starting Sept. 1 and ending on Dec. 23. The spring semester also would be set back a week, ending the third Friday in week.
OFFICIALS AT the University of Kansas estimated last week that the
change would save KU about $1,000 in air conditioning and heating bills, said Martin Jones, associate director of business affairs.
He said the savings would not be enough to make the change worthwhile for the University.
"We at the University of Kansas will not be in favor of the change in policies," he said.
"Frankly, we anticipate the savings to be very small," he said.
Walter Clark, Emporia State University's fiscal affairs business manager, said his calculations of savings complete hit would be done by Thursday.
ROGER LOWE, Wichita State University's vice president for business affairs, said that if the calendar change occurs on a weekend, it would cost the national holiday.
Love also said that starting classes two days earlier could make a $4,000 difference in air conditioning costs.

MARVIN BURRIS, Regents budget officer, said that the calendar change had not been "hotly discussed" by the Regents. He said he was surprised that COBO had continued to consider the change

The Council of Chief Academic Officers decided against the calendar change because it thought it would be harmful to academic programs.
"We're not even close to implicating a radical change to the academic calendar," Burris said.

Med Center, hospital may not split
By VICKY WILT Staff Reporter
The administration of the University of Kansas Medical Center and the Bell Memorial Hospital in Kansas City, Kan., will not be separated if the Kansas Legislature follows a recommendation by a legislative interim committee, the committee chairman said yesterday.
The committee was formed to evaluate the separation of the two administrations because the hospital was experiencing financial problems, said State Rep. Bill Bunten, R-Topena, chairman chairman. Last year the Legislature told the University that the department did not put more money into the hospital.
"It was kind of like 'physician heal thyself.'" Bunten said.
MEMBERS OF THE House and Senate Ways and Means committees requested the study because of the Med Center's recurring financial problems.
to ask the Legislature for supplemental funding to carry it through the rest of
The Med Center suffered a $6 million budget deficit last year and was forced
But many of the problems the hospital had last winter when the committee was formed have been solved. The city has a new hospital administrator, he said.
However, the budgets of the hospital and Med Center could be separated, Bunten said, to help determine how much the hospital paid for its operation as opposed to how much it was supported by the University, he said.
Because of this, the committee decided that no changes in the organization of the two administrations should be made, and that both should remain under the University's administration.
ACCOUNTING CHANGES WILL be made in order to make it clearer which costs are incurred by the hospital and which are incurred by the medical program, to make budget allocations easier to determine.
For example, he said, both the hospital and the medical program used
the pharmacy for their practices, and the accounting changes would specify
Bunten said the separation of the two was not recommended because of "remarkable changes" in the marketing of the hospital since Eugene Staples took over as hospital administrator in July.
An outreach program was established for alumni which allows them to visit the hospital and offer recommendations for changes. A new outpatient ward is to open in Edwardsville in January, will increase the hospital's revenue.
HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATORS also are discussing the establishment of health maintenance organizations with Trans World Airlines and the National
Bunten said he did not want the hospital to be separated from the University because he thought it was safer for him to study a school to have a hospital to work in.
Staples said he approved of the recommendation.
