'CC' program will include all frosh College within a college' proves successful; 450 of Class of '71 will be enrolled
By RICH LOVETT
With KU's Centennial College (CC) little more than a semester old, administrators are crystallizing last summer's plan of expanding it to take in all freshmen in Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Starting this fall, these incoming freshmen will be assigned either to Centennial College or to one of four similar "colleges within a college," said Jerry Lewis, assistant dean of the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences and CC director.
CENTENNIAL COLLEGE, named in honor of KU's 100th anniversary, began last September with 225 men and 225 women, selected at random from those freshmen planning to live in a KU residence hall who are enrolled in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
As sophomores next fall, these students will remain in CC along with 450 of next fall's incoming freshmen in Liberal Arts and Sciences. The remaining College freshmen, about 1,800, will be divided among the other four new colleges, each of which will have its own name to distinguish it from the pilot Centennial College.
The project's third and final phase will begin in the fall of 1968. Next year's CC freshmen will be sophomores. They will stay in one of the CC-type colleges with 1968's Liberal Arts and Sciences freshmen.
That way, from the program's third year onward, the five "colleges within a college" will take in all Liberal Arts and Sciences freshmen and sophomores.
"WE BELIEVE THAT closer association among students and creation of better learning situations will be the result," Lewis said.
As juniors in 1968, the present CC participants will move on to one of KU's professional schools or to a department within the College as does any other KU junior.
Lewis said the program's goal is "coordination of teaching, living, advising and counseling," making it possible for participants to "develop closer and more meaningful associations with their classmates."
THE PROJECT was not set up to make the students live together, the CC director explained. None of the students' choices has

"We find that many of the CC students who moved out of Oliver and Ellsworth this spring moved out in groups and are living together in fraternities and apartments," he said.
Roughly half of all freshman men live in residence halls, he said, and the rest live mostly in group situations such as fraternities and apartments.
