Students given more time to change class schedules
By Stephanie McDuff

Students needing to change their fall schedules w.1. have more time to go through the add/drop process.
The Office of the University Registrar has extended the add/drop period for the fall semester past April 30, the ending date given in the Fall 1997 Timetable of Classes.
Under this new plan, students will be able to add classes to their fall schedule until May 14 and drop classes until July 11 without penalty.
The add/drop extensions were made after the Office of the University Registrar was given additional resources to hire more staff, said associate registrar Brenda Selman.
Selman said that the changes were made to the add/drop schedule after the timetable was distributed to students.
Students will have a second chance to drop classes starting Aug. 18., but students wanting to add classes to their fall schedules should consult the Timetable of Classes for
If they need to extend periods at all,it should be the first weeks of classes."

their specific enrollment times.
Mindi Wagonblast, Smith Center senior, said that the add/drop extension for next fall would benefit underclassmen with few class choices. Wagonblast, who has gone through the add/drop process five times, said that the add/drop process helped students more after they were able to attend a few classes and find out the expectations of the particular classes they had selected.
"If they need to extend periods at all, it should be the first weeks of classes," said Wagonblast.
Another change in Fall 1997 enrollment is in the late enrollment process. Late enrollment will now run May 1 to 14 and Aug. 21 to Sept. 3. Students enrolling late for the fall semester will pay a $25 fee, Selman said.
No changes in students' schedules will be made between July 12 and Aug. 17, said Selman.
Although the add/drop days for fall enrollment have been extended, the schedule for summer classes will remain the same. The add/drop process for summer classes will end April 30 and resume June 4, according to the timetable.
Elizabeth Taylor, Overland Park junior, said the extension would give students more time to decide whether they liked a class.
Taylor said that despite this extension, she thought the add/drop process will still be difficult.
"It's still a pain no matter what they do," she said.
Graves appoints new Regent
Harry W. Craig Jr.
replaces John Hiebert
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Gov. Bill Graves appointed Topeka executive Harry W. Craig Jr. to the state Board of Regents, which supervises Kansas' six public universities.
Graves also announced on Thursday the reappointment of Cimarron farmer-rancher Sid Warner to a full term on the board.
Warner, also a Finney appointee in October 1992, was retained by Graves two years ago, and is now being appointed to a full term.
Craig, chairman and chief executive officer of Martin Tractor Co., replaces John Hiebert of Lawrence, an appointee of former Gov. Joan Finney.
Both Craig and Warner were appointed to four-year terms that will expire Jan. 15,2001.
Craig will take Hiebert's place as soon as his appointment is confirmed by the Senate, which is expected to consider it before the Legislature adjourns in four weeks.
The board's next meeting is scheduled for April 16-17 at Pittsburg State University.
Craig is a Republican, and Warner is a Democrat. By law no more than five members of the nine-member board can belong to the same political party.
Other regents are Republicans Kenneth Havner, Hays; Murray Lull, Smith Center; Phyllis Nolan, Louisburg, and Bob Talkington, Iola; and Democrats Bill Docking, Arkansas City; Thomas Hammond, Wichita, and Sylvia White-Robinson, Kansas City, Kan.
"These two gentlemen will bring
knowledge, experience and common sense to the regents board," Graves said of Craig and Warner.
"Harry Craig and Sid Warner are honored and respected Kansans who define the notion of community service. I am grateful for their commitment to higher education and for their commitment to Kansas."
Craig holds bachelor and law degrees from the University of Kansas. Besides heading Martin Tractor, a Caterpillar dealership, Craig has held leadership positions in the Kansas Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Greater Topeka Chamber of Commerce, Kansas Good Roads Association and Kansas Industrial Council.
Warner, who holds a degree in economics from Kansas State University, owns a real estate company and is an officer of Cimarron Insurance Co., Cimarron Capital Corp. and Southwest Kansas Television Co.
