More courses may fulfill liberal arts requirements
By Jennifer Bach Kansan staff writer
Kansan staff writer
KU students are not the only ones searching for courses to fulfill graduation requirements.
Administrators from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences also are looking for new sections of existing courses so students can fulfill their principal and non-Western culture course requirements within four years, said Pam Houston, director of the college undergraduate center.
Principal courses are required by the college to ensure that students take a variety of courses, not just those in the core curriculum, and must be completed to earn a degree.
During the 1980s, the departments within the college offered more courses that would fulfill those requirements.
Now, some administrators are not sure they made the right decision.
However, college administrators during the last few years decided that too many selections were available. The administrators limited the course and could take to fulfill their principal course requirements to four a department.
"We've experienced a growth in the number of students and a decrease in budget," Houston said.
Without additional financing from the Legislature, the college has to find wavs to increase course availability
Houston said college administrators might convert some courses not considered principal or non-Western into English that would fulfill those requirements.
"Many of the students are looking into traditional types of courses," she said. "Non-Western courses don't fall into that category."
Van Zandt said that not enough departments offered non-Western culture courses.
"These principal courses may fill up during the enrollment period, but within two weeks there may be additional space." he said.
Joe Van Zandt, advising coordinator for the college, said the enrollment process, along with limited financing, enabled them to fund courses that fulfilled requirements.
"I'd like to say there's a huge pot of money, so that we could just add courses," he said. "But, we are going to be nibbling at the edges instead of making a huge impact."
One option the college may consider is changing the enrollment policy to allow additional students into closed courses if faculty anticipate that some students will drop the course, Van Zandt said.
Officials celebrate press opening
By Alexander Bloemhof
Kansan staff writer
The University Press of Kansas made itself at home Friday in its new building at 15th Street and Crestline Drive.
Staff members from the press, officials from Board of Regents universities and authors gathered to commemorate the $750,000, 6,330-square foot building.
"This is without question a proud day for the press, the state, the Regents and especially the University of Kansas," said Chancellor Gene A. Budig in a short address to about 50 people.
Fred Woodward, director of the press, used the official dedication as an opportunity to reflect on the press' development.
The press, which serves the six Regents institutions, moved its operations from Carnrith O'Leary Hall to the new building in June.
"This building represents a milestone in the 45-year history of the press," Woodward said. "It is a commitment to the dissemination of knowledge."
New book titles include "The Kansas Cookbook," by Frank Carey and Jayni Naas, and "Moral Issues in Military Decision Making," by Anthony Hartle.
Woodward became director of the press in 1981. Since then, the press has increased its annual output of book titles from eight to 35 and its annual sales revenues from $186,000 to $1.1 million.
The increase in book sales from new titles was large enough to pay for a new $350,000 warehouse and the new office building.
Woodward said he wanted to continue the expansion.
Isn't It Romantic?
His goal is to publish 50 book titles in
1961 with $1.5 million in sales, he said.
