Enrollment system 'appears workable'
KU's experimental spring enrollment system, which split this student body into two registration groups, appears workable.
Registrar James K. Hitt said Thursday the response heard so far on the new system, in which 4,200 students completed enrollment in December, has been good.
"Early enrollment reveals where imbalances in scheduling are." Hitt said.
The first enrollment shift ran from Dec. 1-15 and included seniors graduating in June or August, freshmen in the Colleges-within - the - College program, sophomores in Centennial College, and student teachers in the School of Education.
Hitt said the split enrollment sessions caused no more confusion than occurs during the usual "en masse" enrollment and helped the University better forecast the time and space needed for each class section.
With part of the student body enrolling early, Hitt explained, the departments can better detect which courses will be highest in demand and then make arrangements.
Early enrollees visited their counselors and scheduled their spring programs during the two week period. The programs were
validated over the Christmas break and picked up by' the students in January at Allen Field House.
The remainder of the student population enrolled Jan. 31 to Feb. 3.
Hitt said there were some "mechanical blunders" in the new system.
If the plan is adopted, early enrollment will not be mandatory. Students will have the option to enroll in either shift.
Following the Christmas break many students found their validated programs jumbled, missing classes or including classes in which they had not enrolled.
Also, Hitt said, many students who enrolled during the second shift found numerous classes closed by Jan. 31.
Hitt said the setbacks were merely "growing pains" and that the split-enrollment lessened the customary crowds at enrollment at the Kansas Union.
No decision will be made whether to continue the split system until all departments and colleges have voiced opinions.
"Unless the disadvantages are too great," Hitt said, "we will probably offer early enrollment for the fall semester to all students currently on the campus."
The two displays are an exhibit, named "1450-1550: The Golden Age of the Woodcut. Revival of the Woodcut, 1890-1925."
Brett Waller, director of the art museum, said one deals with the early development of the woodcut, and the other with the return to earlier style of the turn of the century.

A woodcut exhibit at KU's Spooner Art Museum will be officially opened tonight with a speech by Hellmut E. Lehmann-kaupt, New York printing historian.
In the middle of the 15th century there was an anonymous artist, known as the Master of
The woodcut is a form of printing which was developed about the time Johannes Gutenberg invented movable type in the middle of the 15th century. The artist draws a picture on a block of wood in ink. He then cuts the parts to be printed in white out of the block. The block is then
"The process is similar to the potato prints Cub Scouts make," Waller said.
Featured in the convention program are Rev. Earl Zimmerman, Ottawa, and Rev. Donald Conrad, campus pastor of the Lutheran Church. "Sloth," a drama dialect by Bishop Pike, will be presented by Terry Stevens, Omaha, Neb., junior; Marshall
Most of the early woodcuts were of religious scenes or used to make playing cards, Waller said. Germany was the center of woodcutting during their development.

"This is only natural," Waller said. "The woodcuts were used to illustrate the early books. Germany was the center of printing because Gutenberg lived there. So the woodcut artists worked where there were presses available to reproduce their work."
The theme of the convention is "Brother, Where Are You?" The 100 members expected will discuss their place as Christians in society. Gering said.
Some of the exhibit woodcuts are in color. The color is applied by hand with watercolors after the print is made, Waller said.
The uniting of KU's Lutheran Student Association and Gamma Delta, a collegiate Lutheran youth group, will be discussed at the Gamma Delta convention here Feb. 9 to 11. The convention is sponsored by the Missouri synod of the Lutheran Church.

The convention will meet at the Holiday Inn and the University Lutheran Church. Local convention president, Steve Gerding, Kirkwood, Mo., sophomore, said it will be attended by 14 Gamma Delta groups from Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma.

the Playing Cards, who was one of the earliest copper plate engravers. Lehmann-kaupt believes there is some connection between this artist and Gutenberg. He thinks the copper plates were intended to be molds for casting metal to be used as printing forms, similar to stereotype printing plates used today. If this artist had succeeded with his experiment, Lehmann-kaupt believes woodcuts would not have been used for illustrations in the early days of printing.
Van Schmus is concerned with determining the ages of Pre-Cambrian rocks in Ontario, Wisconsin, and upper Michigan. His Ph.D. thesis dealt with a sequence of rocks in the Ontario district and he found that what were thought to be relatively young, undeformed sediments were, in fact, over two billion years old.
"Some of the rocks 1 hope to study seem to have been affected by isolated igneous activity about 14-1.5 billion years ago," Van Schmus said.
