Democrats plan delegate selection
By CHRISTOPHER HINES
Some Kansas Democrats hope the Iranian arms scandal will be kept out of the 1988 presidential election campaign, but they say the controversy already may have affected the prosession of some presidential candidates.
The Kansas Democratic Party recently announced the beginning of its delegate selection process for the 1988 Democratic National Convention.
"I think the Democratic party has a lot of positive solutions to sell in discussing issues and policies," said Jim Parrish, chairman of the Kansas Democratic State Committee. "I
would not think that someone else's failure would be a plus for us."
But Parrish said Vice President George Bush's chances of becoming president were damaged because of ongoing speculation about his involvement in the Iran arms controversy.
"I think he has a lot of powerful allies, but everyone is speculating that he has been weakened by the scandal," Parrish said. "It certainly hasn't helped his chances."
"We will be more concerned about important policy issues in the primary elections," he said. "I don't see how the Iran arms scandal could benefit us."
Dean Lebesty, chairman of the Douglas County Democratic Committee, said the most important things now confronting the party were the primary elections and not the general presidential election.
Lebestky said the party should be more concerned about large budget and trade deficits, the declining quality of social programs and nuclear arms reduction negotiations with the Soviet Union
"We need to positively deal with these issues," he said. "We don't need the Iran arms scandal to beat the Republicans."
Kansas will send 43 Democratic delegates and 13 alternates to the 1988 national convention in Atlanta. The delegates will elect the 1988
Democratic presidential candidate.
The state party will have local delegate selection caucuses March 19, 1988, and congressional district caucuses April 23, 1988. The local caucuses are open to all registered Democrats.
The party last week made public the Kansas delegate selection plan, which describes the criteria and procedures used to select delegates.
Alma Webster, executive director of the state committee, said the committee would assist all interested citizens who wish to make comments or obtain information about the selection process. The state Democratic headquarters is at the Jayhawk Tower in Topeka.
Plan considered to ease enrollment strain
By BENJAMIN HALL

The University of Kansas might tell prospective students about problems caused by enrollment increases here, and also about the kind of preparation they need to succeed as KU students.
Del Shankel, acting executive vice chancellor, told the University Senate Executive Committee on March 13 that an administrative committee on enrollment planning was considering those plans.
The committee is looking for solutions to problems caused by recent increases in KU's enrollment.
KU's enrollment increased by more than 1,100 last fall. "That created some severe strains on our resources," Shankel said. "Most institutions are having just the opposite problems that we're having."
The University is anticipating an increase of 700 to 800 students next
fall, Shankel said. He said the office of admissions already had received a large number of applications.
Shankel said the committee might propose new deadlines for applications for admission to the University.
The committee also might propose new requirements for enrollment in the College of Liberal Arts and Sci- tech if you want what those requirements might be.
SenEx member Sharon Bass, associate professor of journalism, said, "The mechanics of getting that information out seems like an enormous problem."
Shankel said the information would be sent to high school counselors in Kansas and to the main out-of-state contributing schools.
He said the committee didn't want to impose restrictions that would hurt good students or minorities.
SenEx member Sharon Brehm,
professor of psychology and director
of the college honors program, said,
"It would be a horrible irony if, in an attempt to control enrollment, we ended up making it harder for the good students."
SenEx member Tom Dean, professor of architecture and urban design, said the University should work to attract better students.
Brehm said the University needed to improve its relationship with hon- or students through personal contact, not mailings.
"I recommend that the committee anything it can to raise the qualification of."
Shankel invited a SenEx delegation to discuss plans with the enrollment planning committee. SenEx decided that chairman Mel Dublin, Brehm and student representative Gordon Woods would attend.
SenEx also reviewed another report that said the University should improve its recruitment of better
qualified students.
The committee, which was chaired by Bruce Lindvall, director of admissions, reported to David Amber, vice chancellor for student affairs.
The committee's report said KU administrators should push the Board of Regents to change its recommendations for high school preparation to requirements for admission to the University.
"I'm all in favor of some kind of admission requirement for KU," he said. "But I'm concerned that this may be too unfocused."
Woods said the recommendation assumed that high schools could meet the course requirements, that high school counselors were competent enough to inform students about the requirements and that a high school sophomore had some idea of what he or she wanted to do.
Regents official injured, released after wreck

The director of financial aid for the state Board of Regents was injured in a four-car accident Thursday after she ran a red light at 9th and Iowa streets, Lawrence police reported.
The director, Clantha McCurdy, 34, Lawrence resident, was treated and released at Lawrence Memorial Hos- tion, a hospital nursing supervisor said.
According to police reports,
McCurdy was northbound on Iowa
Street on Thursday morning in a 1982 Audi. At 7:36 a.m., her car entered the intersection of 9th and Iowa streets and was struck on the right side by a westbound 1971 Chevrolet driven by Gregory A. Clayton, 24, Lawrence resident.
McCurdy's car then struck a 1981 Pontiac, driven by John E. Starkey, 63, Lawrence resident, that was sitting immobile in the southbound left-turn lane. That collision forced Starkey's car into the next car behind him in the left-turn lane, a 1981 Oldsmobile driven by John L. Dickerson, 21, Lawrence resident.
Starkey was slightly injured in the accident and was treated at the scene, police reported. No one else involved损伤 injuries.
A witness, Beebe Sterling, 41, Lawrence resident, told police he was northbound in the right-hand lane of Iowa Street when the traffic signal at 9th and Iowa streets turned red, and he stopped. He then saw, in his rear view mirror, McCurdy's car approaching, McCurdy's car passed
him and entered the intersection while the light was red. he told police.
McCurdy told police that she thought the traffic signal had been yellow or flashing yellow when she entered the intersection.
The accident caused disabling damage to McCurdy's and Starkey's cars and slight damage to Dickerson's car, police reported. Clayton's car still was functional.
Lawrence police cited McCurdy for disobeying a traffic signal.
