Proposed cuts ieopardize classes
By ALISON YOUNG
1. Kansas' bleak economic situation has hit home for KU students, hundreds of whom were turned away from full classes for next semester.
The University's budget, which already was strained by a record fall enrollment, faces more tightening because of Governor-elect Mike Hayden's proposed 3.8 percent budget cuts for all state agencies, KU officials said recently.
sure aggrents had made the administrators said last week that about 100 sections, in which students pre-enrolled, could be canceled because of proposed budget cuts.
Class offerings are so limited that the University may send advisory letters to students who have been admitted for the spring semester and plan to
enroll next month, officials said.
Bruce Lindvall, director of admissions, said he didn't want students to pack up and move to Kansas if the courses they were expecting weren't available.
According to statistics generated by the enrollment center Nov. 26, after main enrollment was completed, several basic classes turned away hundreds of students.
The statistics show the number of students who tried to enroll in a course but couldn't because it was full. These figures may be inflated because a single student could have been turned away from several choices in the same department.
According to statistics:

Honduran troops airlifted by U.S., governments say
From Kansan wires
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras — Honduran warplanes and troops ferryed by U.S. helicopters yesterday attacked about 1,000 Nicaraguan government forces who had violated Honduran territory, the United States and Honduras said.
In Managua, Nicaraguan Foreign Minister Miguel d'Escoto said U.S. warplanes had bombed two
troops along the two countries' border in response to an incursion Thursday by 200 Nicaraguan troops who allegedly attacked a border outpost, wounding three Honduran soldiers and capturing two others.
In Tegucigalpa, U.S. and Honduran officials refused to reveal how many U.S. aircraft were used or how many Honduran troops were ferried to Jamastran, about 48 miles east of the capital.

Some athletes have balance problems. Hamburg said that when a person's balance was off it could alter his effectiveness. If a person is accustomed to using only the right side of his body during a certain movement, Hamburg tries to make him more aware of what the left side is doing.
This year the women's track team again is using a pre-warmup that is based on the program, said distance runner Melissa Satterfield, Fort Smith, Ark., somonhore.
She said the pre-warm-up helped to loosen joints, which might lessen injuries.
Trisha Mangan, Sterling, Ill., junior and middle distance runner, said she was using the warm-up because she had problems with injuries.
"We focus on little things," said heptathlete Ann O'Connor, Salina junior. "Sometimes we just massage joints to relax and get them more flexible."
"The pre-warm-up makes us more aware of joints," she said.
"In running, your hip joint can become compacted and is a source of tightness. Your body holds tension in places where your muscles are tighter and causes you to use unnecessary energy.
"My flexibility is much better. It helps when you wake up in the morning and your muscles don't feel stiff or sore."
When muscles are tight, Duff said, there is a higher risk of injury.
"I think it's still pretty early to find great improvements," O'Connor said. "I can tell little things; my legs are a little more flexible."
"Mainly, the stretches help to get your body ready to move, ready to improve."
An example of this can be found in contact sports, Hyde said. If a player knows where he is in relation to other players, he will be less likely to be hit or tackled.
This year Hyde has begun using the movement efficiency program with the women's basketball team. The Jayhawks have been using the program for two months.
Hyde puts the team through reaching, moving and stretching exercises to help them learn better use of space, she said. Some of the exercises are to help the players move their heads and focus more quickly on objects.
"The idea of the program is to enhance coordination and make them aware of their whole body in space." Hvde said.
"Dance has been one of the most impressive areas of study," said women's basketball head coach Marian Washington.
able to put together a program applicable to basketball after working with the men's team last year, she said.
"Frying to get the team into a dance program was something I had always thought about," she said.
She said many people did not recognize dancers' athletic ability and grace.
Washington said that she hoped the program would help players become more coordinated.
"I think the program will be good for some of our bigger players because they're not used to using all of their bodies," she said.
The dance department was
Washington said Lynn Page, freshman center, had developed better balance since the team started using the program.
"It helps me relax before practice," Page said. "We go through running and walking patterns and relax by stretching.
"We work a lot on muscles that you don't normally think about."
The basketball team does the warm up for 12 minutes three a day a week and for 20 minutes two days a week.
Julia Yearer, women's basketball assistant coach, said the program had helped the basketball players increase body control and awareness.
Many of the athletes said they didn't know all the details of the analysis, but they knew the program had advantages.

"In practice we do major stretches and push really hard," he said. "She does more subtle things, but you can still feel it working."
Guy O'Gara, Overland Park sophomore and linebacker on the KU football team, said he got involved in the program to become more limber, especially in his back.
O'Gara said he had done the routine before he went to regular football practice. It allows the process to be more gradual and gives the body a chance to warm up slowly, he said.
"If you learn to use muscles individually instead of in groups, it
uses less energy." Hyde said. "If you are to use lifting your leg with all of the muscles in your thigh, you can learn to use just
one or just a few to do the same job."
David Youker, Fort Wayne,
Ind.. sophomore and KU swimmer, said. "I get more reach on my backstroke now.
"I've become more aware of what my body is doing."
