Proposed cuts ieopardize classes
By ALISON YOUNG
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.
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
administrators said last week that about 100 sections, in which students pre-enrolled, could be canceled because of proposed budget cuts.
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.
According to Statistics.
Western Civilization 104 enrolled 678 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.

Economics 104 enrolled 303 students, but turned away 183.
*Math 115 enrolled 830 students, but turned away from Math 121 enrolled 188, but denied 23.*
■ Five of the seven liberal arts required 200-level English courses were closed, turning a away total of 758 students, including 26 juniors and more.

Honduran troops airlifted by U.S., governments sav
From Kansan wires
TEGUCIGALPA. Honduras — Honduran warplanes and troops fired 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.

endings. In this culture at least, men are not supposed to cry.
I have seen my last press run My college career is over.
That fact, I'm sure, will surprise whoever tabulates and keeps records in the bowels of Strong Hall. The University directory and many records still list me as a Dallas junior.
I don't know exactly why I'm still a junior because I have the credit hours to be a senior. I haven't bothered to try to change my records in Strong Hall because I think the Bureauacry should explain itself to me, not the other way around.
I remember what I said before I got to Lawrence, at the age of 17: "Oh, I'll put up with it for four or five years." What can I say? I was young and foolish, mostly.
But the University has left me one thing: a yellow-zone sticker that won't come off my back car window.
So now I graduate, still without all the answers. A person doesn't get those until he or she is at least 24. In one big package, I'm convinced.
Yeah, KU was good to me.
no one would read it. But I'm writing it anyway.
Last week, my 4-year-old cousin asked what was meant by "gratification from the University." She heard it was happening to me.
The more I think about it, the more I like the phrase.

Graduation is gratifying, especially to my parents who no longer have to support me.
I'm pleased to announce to the six people who are reading this column that I don't have any words of wisdom or rules to live by. The kind of knowledge that helps you succeed in the world isn't taught in most courses. It comes with experience.
Tad wants me to write a goodbye to the University. I told him
Those of you who are graduating with me probably know how I feel about leaving and stepping into the real world. Those of you who aren't graduating are having too much fun and don't care.
So, goodbye University, and Happy Gratification to everyone. Cocilla Mills

I, too, am graduating this month. I've been a senior for four semesters now, my time has come.
I've seen the mosques of Istanbul, Turkey, traveled the green hills of Ireland and yodeled atop the Austrian Alps. And I have earned a bachelor's degree from the KU School of Journalism. What more could a young woman want?

The HP-41. What it does have is the power that engineers, scientists, and students need to solve complex calculations. It also has expandable memory, and four I/O ports for versatility. Best of all, it has Hewlett-Packard quality.

Before I depart for points unknown, however, I'd like to leave the students at the University of Kansas with one request.
Some come from countries you may only read about in the newspaper, much less have the chance to visit.
Most are here to improve their English. What better way to do that than by talking and living with native speakers?
The students who study here watch what you do and form their impressions accordingly. Some leave thinking all U.S. men are unfriendly. Others marry and become U.S. citizens. Still others stay because they like it here.
If you meet just one, you may change a life; it may be your own.

Saying goodbye is more uncomfortable than getting my teeth cleaned but less painful than bathing my cat.
I feel as if I need more time here. Not too much — just a little, to do a few things I haven't done
I haven't explored some of the mysteries of Lawrence that have puzzled me for three years, such as why we pay a gas service for our electricity, and why Stauffer-Flint Hall still has that gritty powder soap in its first-floor bathrooms.
I haven't met all the people who make this place interesting. I've never talked to the Tan Man.
I haven't finished messing up here, where I'm supposed to mess up. Next month when I walk into a newspaper that actually pays reporters and copy editors, I'll make all sorts of mistakes that I forgot to make, or didn't have time to make, on the Kansan.
I haven't finished making friends — or enemies — although I've enjoyed making a few of both.

And most importantly, I haven't used up all the smileyface address labels that have my name and apartment number above "Lawrence, KS 60644."
So maybe I'm ready to go after all.
And today I sent my last electric bill payment to KPL Gas Service.
However, I am finished with parking tickets, back packs, blue books and No-Doze. I'm finished climbing the Hill in summer and sliding down it in winter.
