Enrollment stays on schedule
By DIRK MILLER Staff Reporter
KU officials said yesterday that the new computerized enrollment system had created problems for early enrolled students and were able to keep the process on schedule.
The IBM computer that is used for early enrollment was shut down three times yesterday, said Patsey Elliott, the computer department in the educational services department.
But the early-enrollment staff was able to adjust to the computer shutdowns, which turn off the IBM's CPU and input and output devices, Ellott said.
Gary Thompson, director of student records and registration in the educa
tional services department, said enrollment officials had maintained the scheduled appointment sequence, which was made up according to the last digits of student identification numbers.
The operators took an early lunch during one of the shutdowns. When the computer was fixed they processed it, then turned it on to make up for the lost computer to
Students are scheduled for six minute appointments with the terminal operators, Thompson said. A sign in the shape of a clock outside 111 Strong Hall marks the appointment time that is being enrolled.
When there is a big backlog because of computer shutdowns, Thompson officials advance the clock at two-hour intervals for six-minute appointments.
Richard Mann, University director of information systems, said there were at least eight people working on the computer in the computer programs or software.
"We caught up with a 40 minute backlog in 15 minutes," he said.
He said the problem could be in one of the computer programs developed for the system.
"We're simply trying to find which software it is in," Mann said. "I hope you don't have to do that."
Mann said they worked through the night Monday trying to locate the problem. IBM sent four specialists to KU yesterday to help find the problem.
Sixty percent of the KU professors have missed the deadline for submitting textbook requests for the spring 1983 semester, Bill Muggy, manager of the Jayhawk Bookstore, said recently.
Mans said he had expected problems with the new computer program, and that he hoped that the current problem was not a significant one.
According to Union Bookstores, fewer than 1,000 requests have been turned in for faculty at the institution. Nurse that are offered each semester.
"Very few faculty are concerned about the cutoff date," Muggy said. "The pet is deadline, met, gives
The result could be another semester of uncertainty in ordering books and possible shortages. Muggy and Union Bookstore officials said.
Profs' late orders plague bookstores
He said faculty who dragged their feet until the previous semester was nearly over also made it difficult for his store to find cheaper used books.
"The used books all get gobbled up elsewhere by then," Muggy said.
He said the list was compiled from the requests that his store sent to professors each semester.
The Union Bookstore sends a copy of each request to Muggy's store at a cost of 10 cents a sheet.
"We usually pay about $250 to $300 a
semester for that information," Muggy said. One reason for the system is simplicity, be said.
University policy requires that information to be sent to the Union Bookstore, he said, so it is simpler and cheaper to have a copy of the requests sent from that store to the Jayhawk Bookstore.
Reductions in the number of teaching assistants hired by the University also could create problems, Word said. Students who are unable to get into a course because fewer sections are offered often take another course. A study found that unexpected increase in the number of books needed for that course, he said.
Word said reorders of books that ran short often took at least 10 days.
