Admissions Office Making Visits
Three representatives from the KU Admissions Office left town this morning.
No, they aren't fed-up with their jobs, they are jus fulfilling part of the obligation of the Admissions Office to inform Kansas high school seniors about the University.
BEFORE THE visitation program is completed, and this is most active from October through December, students from some 350 Kansas high schools will listen to a KU representative and receive information brochures, said Bill J. Reynolds, assistant director of admissions.
The Admissions Office, now in the midst of what they call the "high school visitation" program, today sent representatives to high schools in Frankfort. Clay Center, Topeka, and Paola to talk with seniors about their future educational plans.
Reynolds co-ordinates the high school visitation program which last year utilized 37 KU faculty and staff members.
When asked just how the "recruiting" of students is done, both Reynolds and James K. Hitt, registrar and director of admissions, explained that the University does not "recruit" students.
"Our duty is to provide information about KU to the students, parents, and high school guidance counselors," Hitt said.

"THE STUDENT can then place this information beside information from other colleges and universities and make his choice by comparing," the registrar said.

He continued, "It isn't appropriate for a state supported university to recruit students! KU is a state supported institution available to all in Kansas, but we are only one of six such colleges and universities and 15 public supported junior colleges in the state." Hitt said.
The registrar indicated that the taxpayer's dollars should not be, and are not, used in a recruiting tug-of-war between public supported Kansas colleges and universities.

REYNOLDS SAID that the Admissions Office is more interested in selling a student on attending college in Kansas than on entering KU."
"We do recruit one kind of student—the top notch Kansas high school graduate," he said.
Hitt pointed out one exception to the rule against recruiting.

AS A PART of the information program for potential students, representatives visit high schools in out-of-state areas. These usually include St. Louis, Chicago, Bartlesville, Okla., and Kansas City, Mo., Reynolds said.
He explained, "The top Kansas high school graduates are being recruited by schools all over the nation, and it is a matter of concern to us if he leaves the state to study elsewhere."

"If this type of student comes to KU, he will make the university look good," Hitt said. "When a student leaves the state to study, we suffer an economic loss in the state," Hitt said.
IN REGARD to the high school
visitation programs, this usually involves sending representatives to "college day" programs, Reynolds said.
