KU enrollment hits24.372
By JERRY SEIB Staff Writer
Final enrollment figures indicate that the University of Kansas has more than 24,000 students, a fourth straight record fall enrollment.
The figures were released yesterday by Gil Dyck, dean of admissions and records. They reflect enrollment as of Sept. 20, the 20th day of classes.
The official University-wide enrollment is 24,372, -25,553 on the Lawrence campus and the Kansas City campus. That is 631 students, more than the number enrolled last fall.
AS IN THE last three fall semesters, graduate students make up the largest segment of the University -5,509 students. But the freshman class, the largest in KU history, had the biggest increase. There are 4,446 freshmen, 484 more than last year.
Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor,
said the total enrollment was $50 more than
the previous year.
"Having additional students in those numbers is very pleasant in some ways," he said. "It does cause some problems when you have more students than budgeted for. But I'd rather have that problem than the opposite one."
THE HIGH enrollment will mean the University has fewer faculty positions than the Board of Regents would usually allot for the number of students, Shankel said. However, he said, the legislature will probably allow the University to spend the enrollment fees of the extra students to pay for added administrative costs.
Normally, a state school can spend only the money allocated by the legislature, regardless of the amount received in fees. In the past, Shankel said, the legislature has agreed to let KU spend the fees of students not included in the budget.
education classes aren't included in determining the FTE totals.

"Otherwise we'd have really severe problems," he said.
THE FINAL enrollment total is almost 300 more than the final total Dyck had predicted in August, and is 1,974 more than the number of students who enrolled on the first day of classes. The increase is caused by late and off-campus enrollees.
Dyck said it would be several days before KU full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollment was known. One FTE unit is allowed for every 15 undergraduate credit hours, one for every 12 law school hours and one for every nine graduate hours.

Only two schools on the Lawrence campus had enrollments lower than last fall. The School of Journalism enrollment declined by 39 students to 611, and the School of Business enrollment declined by 13 students to 809.

Dykes won't enlarge committee
By JERRY SEIE
From the Heart
Staff Writer
Dykes said yesterday the delay caused by changing the committee might drive away leading candidates for the position of University Director of Institutional Affairs. He said one of the three top candidates for the job had asked yesterday to be dropped from consideration because of the time being spent in filling the position.
Chancellor Archie Dykes has denied a SenEx request that he add two faculty members to the search committee for a new University administrator.

Fields said that he expected some discussion of Dykes' decision at today's SenEx meeting but that he hadn't talked with Dykes since receiving the letter. He declined to speculate on whether SenEx would take further action.
At that time, the original search committee sent Dykes a list of finalists from 24 applicants for the post. Dykes agreed to reopen the search and advertise the position locally. One more application was received in two weeks.
Fields, Dykes said it was "in the best interest of the University to proceed with the construction."
SENEX HAD asked Sept. 9 that Dykes add two faculty members to a search committee composed of five administrators. A week earlier, SenEx had requested that Dykes reopen the search for the post after some SenEx members said the position hadn't been sufficiently advertised locally.
In a letter to SenEx chairman Eldon
THE LETTER said that the search was in its third month and that some of the applicants were becoming worried about the delay.
Dykes said the need for the director was becoming more urgent. The new ad-hoc training program, compiling information about the University for outside funding agencies, would have to quickly begin gathering data for proposed university funding of University programs, he said.
Dykes said he interviewed one of three finalists for the position yesterday. One of
A STATEWIDE task force has been formed to begin implementation of formula funding in Kansas Board of Regents schools, Dykes said, and the group will meet in August on the state schools are ahead of the University of Kansas in gathering data, he said.
Formula funding is a system of funding academic programs by their cost rather than by the number of students they attract. Dykes said the new director was needed to gather information about the funding of KU programs under such a system.
Fund requests pared to $14,069
By CAROL HOCHSCHEID
The Student Senate Fall Budget Committee last night approved $14,069 in allocations from student activity fees for 18 organizations that refused to confuse the requests of four organizations.
A total of $27,787.36 was originally requested by 23 organizations. The Senate has $43,278.78 in unallocated activity fee money.
The committee voted to refuse funding to the ice Hockey Club, Operation Friendship, the Oliver Hall Drama Guild and the International Club.
Thurmond endorses Ford
Bv BETH SPRINGGATE
A conservative in theory and practice,
Se. Strom Thurmond (R-S.C.) last night endorsed President Ford for re-election by 46%. Mr. Thurmond said Jimmy Carter's ideas for economic suicide,
Thurmond spoke before about 100 persons the SIA Union Ballroom was a part of SIA's Union Ballroom.
He compared the two candidate's views on major campaign issues such as monopolies, right to work laws, busing, crime, and abortion, but much of his speech concerned a strong economy and a strong military budget.
Thurmond said about Carter, "He was born in the South; I was born in the South. He was a Southern Baptist; I was a Southern Baptist. He was a Southern governor; I was a Southern governor. But I think the similarities end about there.
"It looks as if Ford is on the right track and Mr. Carter isn't." When Southern voters look at the issues, I think they'll vote their heads and not their hearts."
"THE WAY TO keep strong militarily is to keep strong economically. We can't keep strong economically as long as we keep spending more than we take in," he said.
Thurmond favors keeping a strong defense budget. He said he was pushing legislation to approve the B-1 bomber and add two bombers would be outdated by the 1980s.
"VOTING THEIR heads," Thurmond said, means that although Carter is a Southerner, the Southern people will vote to the War. Thurmond said he considered to be logical.
Known as a friend of military personnel and veterans, Thurmond looks down on the Democratic proposal of a full pardon for a person convicted of violating the law, they should be punished.

Although Thurmond said he was fearful of Carter's spend-thrift *spoils*, he defended the bill.

Instead of busing, he suggested improving the quality of schools by improving teachers' training.
HE ALSO FAVORS the Republican platform on abortion, sticking to his state's rights philosophy. He said the federal court approved the abortion issue for each state to decide.
Thurmond favors the combination of several oil companies in a corporation if it is in the best interest of them.
IN ADDITION TO his service as a judge from 1938,1946, he has also been a state senator from South Carolina and was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1958. He ran for president as a State's Rights Democrat in 1948.
Criminals think twice if they know a judge has no choice but to impose a sentence on the criminal, Thurmond, a former circuit court judge, said.
Mandatory sentences, according to Thurmond, should be given for crimes such as rape and murder and crimes involving the use of deadly weapons. He said repeat offenders should also be given a mandatory sentence.
His switch to the Republican party in 1964 to support Barry Goldwater in his bid for the presidency, is representative of Thurmond's admission that the best men don't always get elected even though they may be from a party he supports.
"The parties don't bother me," he said, "I want to see the best people in office."
After much debate, the committee decided that the International Club's $6,710 request was too vague for any allocations to be made. However, it was resolved to support funding for the club's International Festival after the club has prepared a more clearly itemized budget with the help of the Cultural Affairs Committee.
BAHRAM GERAMI, International Club president, had told the committee Monday night that the club would need $1,500 for its International Festival in the spring.
Through its Senate allocation, the International Club funds 12 foreign students.
Hai Hua, treasurer of the club, said Tuesday night that the club used only 30 to 35 per cent of the allocation for its own purposes.
Randy McKernan, chairman of the budget committee, said last night during budget deliberations that the International Commission recommended more money than it needed in the past.
THE COMMITTEE spent much time
discussing amendments to cut portions of the $2,911 request made by the ice Hockey Club, but decided against funding the group's expansion. The club offered no direct benefits to students.
Operation Friendship requested $100 for printing materials to be used in a University class that has been organized as a training program in interaction with foreign students. Funding was denied because the committee said classroom materials shouldn't be paid for by the Senate activity fee.
Considering the precedent that would be set for Senate funding of residence hall dramatic productions, the committee requested $586 request for their spring musical.
REQUESTS FROM Alpha Phi Omega, the black American Law Students Association, SCORMEB, the Student Services Council, Tau Sigma, Volunteer Clearing House and the Women's Coalition were reduced by the committee.
The committee approved without
reductions requests from the Black Business School Council, the Campus Veterans, the Commission on the Status of Women, the Douglas County Legal Aid Society, the Engineering School Council, the Graduate Student Council, Headquarters (Senate will provide two file cabins in the campus grounds, two cabins in the cabinets), Hilltop Day Care Center, Jayhaw Fencing, the Kansas Defender Project and radio station KJHK.

Strong Hall area OK'd for rally
The University of Kansas Events Committee voted yesterday to let Jayhawk tradition have its way by rescinding an earlier decision and approving a homecoming pep rally in front of Strong Hall.
Last week, the committee had denied permission for use of the Strong Hall area for the Oct. 15 rally and had suggested the alternate locations of Potter Lake Pavilion, Memorial Stadium, an area east of Allen and Oread Avenue near the Kansas Union.
During the 45-minute discussion of the issue yesterday, Caryl Smith, committee chairman, read letters in support of and reconsideration of last week's decision.
In a letter to Smith, Del Dinkel, executive vice counselor, said, "I understand the sensitivity to this issue, particularly for our employees. I want you to know that I endorse the idea of holding the homecoming rally in this area (Strong), and I would be willing to make the small alterations in the class schedule that we made last year to accommodate this event."
Last fall, classes were shortened to allow 15 minutes of free time for the rally.
Committee member Scott Jarsus be said to the committee's 3-1 vote to approve the event was hypocritical, "especially in action we took against the mutator."
Jarus was referring to the committee's action during the past two weeks against two men—one a KU student—for playing their guitars and singing near Wesoc Hall,
across the street from the requested pep rally location.
The committee had said the musicians were disturbing classes in that area and had suggested that the musicians play campus where they wouldn't disturb classes.
Katherine Giele, committee member,
said she didn't think the committee was
being hypocritical in approving the request
that the rally was "an every day event."
The rally is scheduled for 1:15 p.m. the Friday before Homecoming Day.
KU Med Center surgeon resigns from chairmanship
Loren Humphrey, a KU Medical Center surgeon, resigned yesterday as chairman of the surgery department. He will remain on the faculty as a professor of surgery.
Chancellor Archie Dykes said Humphrey
HOPE voting ends tomorrow
Today and tomorrow are the final days to vote for the five HOPE Award finalists. Seniors presenting their KU ID's may vote from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. today at the information booth on Jayhawk Boulevard, and tomorrow from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Senior Regalia Party at Broken Arrow Park.
Each senior may vote for up to five of the 17 semifinalists. The five finalists will be announced Nov. 6 at the halftime of the KU-Lowland state football game.
sent a letter of resignation, effective immediately, to Robert Kugel, executive vice president.
Dykes said that he hadn't expected the resignation and that no plans had been made to replace him.
In the letter, Dykes asked, Humphrey wrote that he had accomplished what he was asking for.
Humphrey was out of town and unavailable for comment last night.
Humphrey is deeply involved in research, including breast cancer research, Dykes said, and because a new heart surgeon had been appointed, he wanted to leave his administrative duties and return to research.
As chairman of the surgery department, Humphrey made all appointments to the surgical faculty, supervised the department's budget and operating room operations, and managed himself. He represented the Med center administration.
