Course guide expected next year
Council passes enrollment aid
By Tim Harrington tharrington@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
As early as next fall, students enrolling may be armed with the long-debated course content data sheet to help them choose classes.
The course content proposal was passed at last week's University Council meeting by a unanimous vote and is now being implemented by the office of Provost David Shulenburger.
A goal of student body president Scott Sullivan, the course content data sheet will list class size, estimated cost of class materials, topics covered, teaching style, instruc
tor's expectations of students, grading policies, and the types of tests and papers to be assigned.
"This gives us a structural foundation to start from," said Sullivan, who would like to see the course content data sheet supplemented with students' evaluations of the classes.
Shulenburger will appoint someone from his office to iron out details such as how to advertise the data to students.
Sullivan said that the first edition would be ready for students by next year's spring semester at the latest
"It's going to at least start on the Internet," Sullivan said. "If we eventually want to put it in book form than we might have to pay for it."
The cost of putting the data sheet on the Internet will be paid for out of the University budget at no cost to students. The estimated costs of the Internet and print versions are

Mohamed El-Hodiri, University Senate member, agreed that the course content data sheet is a step in the right direction.
"Scott expressed the opinion that students wanted a tool for intelligently deciding which courses to take," El-Hodiri said. "We hammered out a proposal that was acceptable to all of us."
Sullivan has been a happy student since the proposal passed.

Despite all of Sullivan's work on the project he will never be the beneficiary of his labors.
"I'm a little disappointed that I'll never get to use this myself," said Sullivan, who expects to graduate in May. "It'll be around long after I'm gone though. That makes it worth it."
Witnesses recount fight

The preliminary hearing for five Lawrence men arrested in connection with a gang-related fight last month continued yesterday.
Witnesses testified that there had been chains, baseball bats and knives at the fight.
During the fight, which took place early Sept. 7 after a party at 203 Glenview Dr., three people were stabbed and others received injuries consistent with blows from blunt objects, police said. Police testified Oct. 16 that they found a hammer and a tire iron at the scene.
Witnesses have testified that the fight involved members of two Lawrence gangs, the SPLs and the Hoyas.
The five charged, Michael Blanck, 18,
Jason Freeman, 18, Richard Jarrett, 23,
Skyland Love, 19, and James Vick, 18,
are each facing four charges of aiding
and abetting aggravated battery and
one count of conspiracy to commit
aggravated battery.
The fight involved between 30 and 50 people, according to witnesses' testimony.
The hearing continued yesterday with the conclusion of Derrick Wallace's testimony. The party was being held for Wallace, who was leaving for
Boys Town, a private school in Omaha. Wallace testified to having a pocket knife with him the night of the party.
When the defense finished cross-examining Wallace, his twin brother, Erick Wallace, was called to testify.
Erick Wallace testified that he had seen members of the Hoyas who had not been invited to the party outside the house that night. He said some of them were holding baseball bats and chains.
The prosecution next called Michael Scott Brown, 17. Brown said he had spent most of the night in the bathroom throwing up because he had become intoxicated. However, he said, he had gone outside to help Erick and Derrick Wallace when he heard the fight begin.
Brown said he had seen William Alan Rector, 17, during the fight. Rector, a juvenile being held in the Northeast Kansas Juvenile Detention Center in Lawrence, allegedly stabbed the three people who were injured.
Rector's hearing has been scheduled for next month.
The witnesses all identified the five men charged as having been at the house the night of the fight.
