HOLD (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
For the 700 students who did not need appointment,s,the hold was removed within 48 hours.
"Maybe as enrollment dates open they may be more upset that they can't meet their enrollment date," McEnaney said. "But most of the time they're like 'Wow, I didn't know those hours didn't transfer.'"
Kevin Neslage, a senior from Wichita, said he took the survey and got the hold removed before his enrollment times.
Neslage said it's a little extra hassle for students who are on track, but he personally experienced no problems. Neslage said he does believe it is more of the students' responsibility to figure these kinds of things out for themselves.
1400 students still need to take the survey.
"We don't want to postpone their enrollment," McNeley said. "All of the effort is to get students moving and making sure that everyone is making the best, timely decisions."

Potter Lake's waters hid mysterious time capsule
CAMPUS

It's not determined how long the memories have been at the bottom of Potter Lake on campus, but a time capsule was one of many items discovered during this year's dredging. So far, the only clues to the identities of the capsule's creators are the names "James," "Barb" and "Allison," which were written on photographs included within the tube.
Management team, also included a bottle of wine, letters and a reference to a favorite bartender at G. Willikers Bar. All the items were found inside a tube on the East side of the lake. This is the only recorded time capsule found in Potter's Lake.
The time capsule, found by the Design and Construction
Jim Modig, Director of Design and Construction Management, said he hoped to discover more information about the time capsule.
"We know that the Alumni Association is going to be putting out an article that will get national distribution," Modig
said. "It will be interesting to see if the people who were associated with putting the time capsule get in contact the University."
Modig said there is still one piece left to recover from the time capsule. They plan on recovering the piece once the lake's debris settles. It's assumed that James, Barb and Alison are names of former KU students. It's also assumed that capsule was placed sometime between Potter Lake's last dredging in 1957 and now.

Healthier option keep coffee black
BY JUSTINE PATTON ipatton@kansan.com
Many students turn to hot, steamy coffee drinks to warm them up and wake them up during chilly fall mornings. But these yummy drinks may do more than give an energy boost — they can also add hundreds of calories to someone's diet before it's even time for breakfast. A peppermint white chocolate mocha from Starbucks, for example, has 470 calories in it.
Harmon said he pays attention to the number of calories in his daily coffee drinks, and that's why his drink of choice is usually black coffee or a latte. An 8-ounce cup of black coffee is only about 2 calories and actually contains some health benefits. Ann Chapman, the dietitian at the Wellness Resource Center in Watkins Memorial Health Center, said the caffeine in coffee could increase alertness. Also, researchers have found the antioxidants in the beverage may actually be good for the heart.
Chance Harmon, a senior from Caney, said he drinks coffee almost every day.
"I like the taste of it. I grew up on it, and, you know, it gives you that extra little jolt in the morning." Harmon said.
Black coffee is also cheaper than most flavored coffee drinks. However, not everyone is a fan of a straight cup of jo'.
Milton's employee Vanessa Peza said students could enjoy a flavored drink and reduce calories at the same time. Generally, the fewer ingredients the baristas add to the coffee, the fewer calories.
Chapman also said ordering drinks with nonfat milk could not only lower fat intake but add calcium to students' diets as well. Chapman said this was important because many college students fail to get enough calcium each day.
"Not adding a lot of flavors is going to be more beneficial to your waistline," Peza said.
"A skinny latte has about 200 milligrams of calcium," Chapman said. "That's not as much as a cup of milk, but it's pretty close."
Chapman also suggested not adding extra creamers to the drink after it's made and saying "no" to whipped cream.
