RIDES 45 HOURS TO KU Phone call with Debbie Bryant does the trick.
Kansas graduates welcome
KU's door remains open
By GARY MURRELL
Ten Kansas colleges are open to graduates of state high schools.
This "open door" policy has raised comment from leading administrators in Kansas including George R. Waggoner, dean of

DEAN WAGGONER said the policy, in operation in four other states, offers a student the opportunity to make a personal decision regarding his college career.
"It is a scrit of democratic equalizer in a free society," he said. "No one tells the student he cannot go to college."
Dean Waggoner said the chief advantage of the policy is that more students have the chance to attend college and discover new avenues of learning.
With the program, he said, comes the need for a flexible curriculum.
"THE SUCCESS of an 'on door' policy depends upon remedial programs in English and mathematics which most state universities don't offer," he said.
Therefore, the University is forced to hire additional faculty to instruct about 200 students who will not receive any credit.
No entrance examinations are required prior to placement tests.
"THE ONLY WAY we have of
judging a student's ability is through the placement examinations given during the summer or early fall," Dean Waggoner explained. "Some students have taken the American College Test (ACT), however."
The policy does not apply to anyone transferring from Kansas colleges, or to out-of-state students. KU requires these to have a "C" average, Dean Waggoner said.
Debbie brings him here
A five-minute phone conversation with Debbie Bryant brought Richard Heatwole all the way from Waynesboro, Va., for his sonhomore year here.
"SHE SURE IS a very good salesman for Kansas." Heatole said. "I was sort of terrified speaking to her."

Heatwole explained that he called Miss Bryant out of curiosity while she was in Atlantic City, N.J., for the Miss America Pageant.
He was surprised he was able to speak to her on the phone. Later Heatweil was informed that if anyone else other than Miss Bryant had answered the phone, he would not have been allowed to speak to her.
ARRIVING WITHOUT much money, Heatwole spent the first few nights camping outside a fraternity house, sleeping in a sleeping bag in a garage, and in the ping pong room of the Baptist Student Union.
WEATHER
Even though KU must abide with the "open door" ruling, its academic standards have remained consistently high.
THE U.S. Weather Bureau predicts cloudy to pertly cloudy skies and cooler tonight and Tuesday. Scattered showers with winds shifting to northerly 10 to 20 miles per hour. Low near 50.
"WE CURRENTLY rank among the top 10 state universities in the nation academically, and have had the highest percentage of Wilson Fellowships and Rhodes Scholars of other state schools," he said.

Part-time jobs open in dorms
By PATRICIA PRUITT
An acute shortage of labor in the cafeterias of Daisy Hill prompted a want ad now running in the Lawrence Journal- World.
Mrs. Lenoir Ekdahl, head dietician for university residence halls, reported almost 50 per cent crew shortages at Ellsworth Hall. Where 60 persons should be working a shift, only 35 total are presently working.
"We're short on student help as well as full-time," she said. "We haven't enough of the right kind of schedules."
THE SCARCITY IS ESPECIALLY felt on Monday, Wednesday and Friday noon hours, when most students have classes. "We get a lot of help at nights, but at noon we can't get anyone," Mrs. Ekdahl said.
As a result, full-time workers are pulled from the production area and put on the serving lines, causing a hardship in production.
Women's halls also lack men for heavy work.
Mrs. Ekdahl has not yet gauged the amount of working hours put in by the majority of student workers. Fifteen hours is maximum with a beginning pay of $1 per hour.
Student Labor Organization (SLO), which howled for job opportunities for students last year, was not aware of present labor demand in the residence halls, according to spokesman Mike Youngblood.
