Record enrollment closes courses
Bv ALISON YOUNG
Staff writer
Although every student who participated in main enrollment for the spring semester received a complete schedule, students who still must enroll in January may not get into the classes they need, KU officials said recently.
Freshmen and sophomores probably will face many closed classes when they go to the enrollment center in the east wing of Strong Hall, the officials said this week.
The officials blamed anticipated problems on this semester's record enrollment. In addition, the state's fiscal problems and a planned 2.3 percent cut in KU's budget for academic programs may exacerbate the problem.
"It's going to be difficult to help those students,"
Thompson, director of stucc date it records, said
yesterday. "Enrollment is like a store going out of business. The later you shop, the less there is left on the shelf."
Robert Lineberry, dean of liberal arts and sciences, said classes filled much earlier this year than in past years because of the increased number of students enrolled at the University.
"There aren't anymore slots in key areas," Lineberry said.
About 250 courses were full at the end of main enrollment last week, including primary courses such as SPAN 104 and 105, GERM 104, ECON 104 and JOUR 124.
Lineberry said space also was tight in upperlevel courses.
Additionally, KU officials Tuesday announced that proposed state budget cuts had forced the University to cut about $200,000 worth of spring
semester classes, or about 100 sections.
Robert Cobb, executive vice chancellor, said students whose spring semester classes might be affected by the cuts would be notified by the University before Jan. 1.
Even without the loss of 100 classes, students who enrolled last month for the spring semester experienced problems.
About 1,300 students participated in a "completion enrollment" Nov. 25 because they didn't receive full schedules on their first trip to the enrollment center.
The students stood in a line that at times went as far back as the Strong Hall rotunda and the office of student records, in Strong's west wing.
Bush says mistakes from Iran arms deal damaged credibility
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Vice President George Bush, breaking a monthlong silence, said yesterday that the administration's credibility had been damaged by mistakes in carrying out a covert arms deal with Iran.
but he supported President Reagan's decision to open the door to foreign investment.
tions of the National Security Council, Bush reiterated Reagan's explanation that the United States was trying to approach moderate elements in Iran who might succeed the Aatollay Ruhullah Khomeini.
Praising Reagan for taking fast action to investigate the spreading scandal, Bush predicted. "As the various investigations proceed, I

KANAS CITY, Mo. - Oklahoma head coach Billy Tubers tugs the favorite's label in the Big Eight Conference basketball race like a well tailored suit.
KANSAN BASKETBALL EXTRA, DECEMBER 2, 1986 19
"I like it," says Tubbs, whose three returning starters include all-Big Eight forward Darryl Kennedy. "I'd much rather be picked No. 1 than No. 8. At least that means you have a realistic chance. I hope we can live up to it. Our players know we have a lot to prove."
Besides three returning starters, Tubbs is armed with 6-foot-9 swingman Harvey Grant, one of the nation's most highly recruited junior college transfers.
The overwhelming preseason choice as player of the year, however, belongs to Kansas forward Danny Manning. And with the 6-foot-11 Manning added 18 pounds to his willow frame, the Jayhawks are considered a solid dark-horse candidate for postseason honors.
"Any time you have a player like Manning, you are capable of winning." "Tubbs said," it hardly hurts. "If you're able to have such a talented player,"
There will be a lot of introductions among rival staffs during the first half of the season. The Big Eight has experienced a 50 percent turnover in head coaches.
One newcomer is familiar to all. Lon Kruger, a two-time player of the year at Kansas State in the early 70s, has succeeded the retired Jack Hartman at his alma mater.
In addition, Danny Nee has taken over for Moe Iba at Nebraska, Oklahoma State has a first-year head man in Leonard Hamilton, and Colorado will be under the direction of new head coach Tom Miller. All four come into their jobs after highly successful stints as assistant coaches.
"I hope those guys can all enjoy the same kind of first-year success that Johnny Orr at a State and I state," Tubbs said with a grin. "Johnny and I finished seventh and eighth."
On paper, it seems possible that all four could have better teams than what their predecessors last put on the floor. That seems particularly true at K-State where Kruger has imported several talented junior college stars and the much-publicized Norris Coleman, who will be eligible to play Jan. 10. Coleman, the Big Eight's newcomer of the year, ran afoul of National College Athletic Association's eligibility standards, but the NCAA reduced his suspension from 27 games to 16.
"We know that because of the level of competition in our conference, we have our work cut out for us." Miller said. His primary weapon will be sophomore forward Matt Bullard, who set a school freshman record with 356 points.
Hamilton, a veteran assistant at Kentucky, will be working with 10 new players at Oklahoma State. Leading the returnees is 7-foot-4 sophomore Alan Bannister.
Miller, a Bobby Knight protege, has seven lettermen and four newcomers to try to improve his # 20 finish.
Missouri's Norm Stewart, the dean of Big Eight head coaches, enters his 20th season with a solid
lineup Derrick Chiew, his 6-foot-7 junior forward, is a legitimate contender for postseason honors of his own. He led the Tigers last year with 18.8 points and 7.7 rebounds a game.
Nobody is worried about Orr finishing seventh or eighth at Iowa State this year. The Cyclones return one of the nation's best young players in Jeff Grayer, a 6-foot-5 junior forward who was instrumental in getting his team to the final 16 of last year's NCAA Tourney. Orr's biggest task may be replacing Jeff Hornacek, a three-year starter at point guard.
