Enrollment Problems? Forming a Committee
By Kay Jarvis (Lost of a series)
Many people have been looking into enrollment in search of answers to the problems it creates.
The All Student Council, the Registrar's office and student advisors have each been looking for the best program. So far no one has come up with a concrete, workable plan that is acceptable to all concerned.
A study of KU enrollment is now being set up by Student Body President. Reuben, McCormack.
McCORNACK HAS proposed a permanent All Student Council board to discuss enrollment problems and work out solutions.
The board would study other enrollment systems, the facilities available at KU and the needs of the students and the University.
The board would be made up of student representatives from each school and possibly some faculty representatives.
"THE REGISTRAR feels there has not been enough student thinking in the enrollment discussions, so we want to set a committee to collect student opinion and express student views." McCornack said.
A student advisory system will also be set up for next fall's enrollment.
He said he hopes to have the board in operation in time for enrollment next fall.
This system will be made up of academically outstanding students who will advise other students on the selection of courses to complete their degree and maintain a balanced load.
McCORNACK SAID this will supplement the faculty advisory system, not replace it.
"We feel these student advisors will be informed through the whole university, not one specific field," he said.

There will be student representatives available on the ballroom floor during enrollment and somewhere in Strong Hall or the Kansas Union so enrollees may talk individually with them.
Architecture Dept. Gets Watercolor
The KU Arichitectural Library was recently presented with a watercolor entitled "Sand Dunes" by Joseph Mitchell Kellogg, past chairman of the Architecture Department.
The presentation was made by the KU Architectural Wives Club. The watercolor, which is valued at $40, was purchased by the organization with proceeds of a white elephant auction.
"It will be entirely an individual, voluntary basis," McCornack said.
OTHER CHANGES WILL take place next year. Summer previews for freshmen will be required.
"We expect about 90 per cent of the entering freshmen to attend the previews since the orientation tests will be required before enrollment," said Gilbert Ulmer, assistant dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Those who do not attend the previews may come early in the fall to take the tests they missed.
Registrar James K. Hitt is working toward a new system of mail fee payment. The fee card would be mailed out to the student and he would return it by mail with the payment.
"THIS WOULD avoid some of the confusion and red tape at Strong Hall after classes have started," he said.
Hitt said Verner R. Ekstrom of the University of Wisconsin had envisioned a model system of enrollment.
"Ekstrom advocates an extensive and knowledgable use of modern equipment to reduce the demands made upon the student for his time and patience.
HE SAYS. "Computers can be of influence in charting and evaluating a student's collegiate career, and can make the registration process easier on the student by reducing the amount of paper work and procedural steps involved. Computers can also enhance the educational activities of the faculty by assisting

Hitt said this is the ultimate goal of his office. "This is the kind of mechanized registration we would like to use if we had the facilities," he said.
