Bill would link Senate to athletic department
A direct link between Student Senate and the KU athletic department will be forged if a bill passed yesterday by the Senate sports committee is adopted by the full Senate.
The bill called for the elimination of the Athletic Seating Board, and the creation of a sports council.
"The Athletic Seating Board really didn't represent students," said Mark Holloway, co-chairman of the sports committee. "The sports council would be more effective. It would provide a link between students and the athletic department."
Anne Stucker, co-chairman of the committee, said the committee's purpose would be to tell the athletic department what students thought about policies directly affecting them.
"Nothing this group decides will
a binding decision for the athletic department," she said. "The athletic department will make its decisions. This group will take students' wants and needs to the athletic department."
The sports council will be important because it is the first time in six to eight years that the athletic department has given students a chance to give tell what they think about department's policy, Stucker said.
The proposed bill called for the group to have a Student Senate representative, a sports committee representative, a graduate student, an athlete and five at-large student representatives.
Representatives of Association of University Residence Halls, Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic, and Residential Council would represent living groups.
Local architects praised
A Lawrence architectural firm received an award from the Kansas City chapter of the American Institute of Architects for the renovation of Marvin Hall, a spokesman for the AIA said yesterday.
Gould Evans Partnership, 704 Massachusetts St., received the award for excellence in architecture, one of nine biannual awards given by the Kansas City AIA, at the Lawrence City Commission meeting last night.
Robert Gould, a partner in the firm, said, "We are really excited about the award, not only for ourselves but for the school of Architecture and the university."
Gould and David Evans, the other partner, are graduates of the School of
Architecture and Urban Design and former professors in the school, Gould said.
"We were very familiar with the building, having each been in it 10 years, so we had some ideas about what we wanted to do with it." he said.
Designing a building for architects was challenging because there would be so many critics, Gould said, but architects could respond by knowing what architects would appreciate.
Many firms did not enter the competition because it was for a school
Renovation of Marvin Hall, which was constructed in 1909, began in August 1900 and was completed in October 1901.
Glades said the decline was moderate, but "off-campus enrollment has been going down for the past three years."
Regents off-campus enrollment declines
SIE SAID only Wichita State University and Kansas State University
A 1980 Regents policy limiting off-campus programs to specific geographical areas, teachers' reluctance to switch schools to teach courses in certain regions and the general state of education in those regions caused enrollment to decline, she said.
Three factors might have played a part in a drop of 296 students in off-campus enrollment at Regents schools this year, Margaret Glades, chairman of the Kansas Board of Extension committee, said yesterday.

GIL DYCK, KU dean of educational services, said KU's off-campus enrollment was down by about 300 students from 1980 levels. He discounted any effects of the Regents' geographical jurisdiction policy on the figures.
Glades said the policy limited schools' off-campus programs to their surrounding area, but they could still go outside of their geographical area if they had a unique program that was not offered by any other schools.
"A lot of schools had to drop some programs they were offering out of their area when the policy wert into effect," she said.
Off-campus enrollment refers to enrollment in courses offered by universities outside of their regular campus. Some KU off-campus courses are offered at the Regents Center in Overland Park.
Some instructors are reluctant to change universities when another Regents school takes over the jurisdiction in which they were teaching, she said.
KU OFFICIALS were not blaming the new Regents policy for the drops in off-campus enrollment over the past three years.
Dyck said, "No. I don't think that it had any effect on enrollment. We haven't changed our geographical area in any way, since the change."
K-State's off-campus enrollment was by 432 students and Wichita State's on-campus enrollment was by 228 students, compared to last year's figures.
Jerry Hutchinson, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs, said, "We predicted at the time that it would be a major benefit to our geographical area."
KU's off-campus enrollment increased from last year by 144 students in the Lawrence campus and 21 students at the College of Health Sciences.
He said KU offered almost 99 percent of its off-campus programs near Kansas City, Kan., Leavenworth, Topeka and Wichita.
ment, but those decreases outweighed the gains by the other universities.
HE SAIO KU's off-campus enrollment may even increase soon because KU might assume control of some programs in the Kansas City campus other college
KU's increase this year might be a result of the general state of the economy, Hutchinson said, because when students do not find job opportunities they are tempted to go back to school to get degrees.
Dyck said KU's off-campus courses, as opposed to special interest courses, fulfil requirements for degree-seeking students.

With friends at other schools you can compare what's in ... and what's out...
The fact is being away at different schools just gives you that much more to talk about
Luckily, when you call anyone in Kansas after 11pm weeknights, or anytime between 11pm Friday and 5pm Sunday, you can talk 10 minutes for $1.59* Or less, depending on where you call
Going away to school is even more fun when you share it with a friend. Especially a friend who's away at school!
