Proposed cuts ieopardize classes

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.
Administrators said last week that about 100 sections, in which students pre-enrolled, could be canned 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 Lindwall, 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.
Acording to Statistics:
Western Civilization 104 enrolled 678 students,
According to statistics:

■ Communications 150 enrolled 753 students, but turned away 837; COMS 130 enrolled 183 students, but turned away 256.

■ Math 115 enrolled 830 students, but turned away 90; MATH 121 enrolled 188, but denied 23; and MATH 122 enrolled 382, but denied 51.
■ Five of the seven liberal arts required 200-level English courses were closed, turning away a total of 758 students, including 26 juniors and one senior.
Political Science 110 enrolled 501 students, but denied 271.

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.

KU athletes improve skills with a rhythmic workout
T
BY JANE ZACHMAN
It is not a dance or aerobic routine, it is a series of specific movements and stretches intended to focus on a particular muscle or group of muscles.
he technique is designed to help an athlete become more aware of his body in movement.
Hamburg said recently that the idea behind the analysis was to direct athletes to more efficient use of their energy and body movements.
The technique is known as Laban Movement Analysis.
Janet Hamburg, associate professor of dance, and graduate students Michelle Hyde and Marsha Duff, have been using these techniques for four years in working with KU athletes to help them improve their performances.
Mark Pellock, Parsons junior and forward on the men's basketball team, said the program had improved his abilities on the court.
Laban Movement Analysis involves observing, analyzing and taking notes on a variety of movements from chewing and sitting to running and jumping.
Linear movement also is important, he said. He no longer waves his arms or kicks his legs when he runs down the court. Now, he said, he keeps his arms and legs in line with his body and moves more effectively.
"Instead of just reaching to get the basketball." Pellock said, "I move toward the ball."
Rudolph Laban developed the analysis in Germany in the 1920s.
Hamburg is a certified movement analyst. She graduated from the Laban/Bartiene Institute of Movement Studies in New York City in 1982 while still teaching full time at KU. She received her bachelor's degree from New York State University in Buffalo and her master's degree from Mills College in Oakland, Calif., in 1976.
Although Hamburg continues to work with athletes through her movement analysis class, Duff and Hyde have taken over much of her work with KU athletes.
To begin with, the process involves finding the part of the body that should initiate a movement. Duff said.
"Rather than working on a complex movement, we break it down to its fundamental parts," she said.
In the process of refining a movement, Duff said, it is necessary to learn to use muscles not normally used.
There is an important link between the mind and body in trying to accomplish this, Duff said.
Habitual movement patterns can be observed whether one is eating or playing basketball. Duff said the idea was to help athletes discover whether a movement was hindering or helping and then to define the movement and either change it
or refine it.
If an athlete performed extremely well one day, Duff said, instructors could analyze how the athlete felt. They would then work on reproducing the particular movements the athlete produced that day.
During the last two years, Duff has been working with the women's track team. She has developed a pre-warm-up routine that helps athletes stretch out slowly.
"The pre-warm-up helps to accommodate specific parts of the body that a particular athlete needs to concentrate on," she said. "It takes a certain area of trouble and puts it through the full range of motion."
Carla Coffey, women's track coach, said, "You can relate movement efficiency to any sport.
"We had some people who had some technical things wrong that we, as coaches, couldn't see."
