Record enrollment closes courses
By ALISON YOUNG
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."
Gary Thompson, director of student records, said
yesterday. "Enrolment is like a store going out of business, later you shop, the less there is left to买 it."
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 240.
Lineberry said space also was tight in upper-level courses.
Additionally, KU officials Tuesday announced that proposed state budget cuts had forced the University to cut about $200,000 worth of spring
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.
semester classes. or about 100 sections
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 "moderate" elements in the revolutions 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 Ayatollah Ruhullah Khomeini.
Praising Reagan for taking fast action to investigate the spreading scandal, Bush predicted. "As the various investigations proceed, I

didn't think I could play in front of so many people.
"But after I got a chance to get in the game, I didn't really think about it. Now, having all those people there helps."
He said he enjoyed being recognized by fans, but preferred that fellow students know him as "Archie" rather than as "Archie, the KU basketball player."
"You're supposed to get recognition," he said. "That comes with playing basketball. But when I wake up in the morning, it's not the reason I get out of bed.
"I prefer meeting people who don't know me as a basketball player because of the stereotypes.
"I'm just a student here who happens to play basketball."
"They think, you are an athlete, so he's not good in school, and he's got all these girlfriends around him." That's just not true.
While his knee is healing, Marshall is making up some classwork. He didn't return to school after his operation in April, and he received incomplete in some classes.
Marshall's mother said his injury gave him a different attitude toward education.
"He always thought about basketball more than grades, but I think his getting hurt — well, he knows basketball isn't everything," she said. "You can get hurt, and you don't have anything, so you have to have your grades. I told him you have to have a college degree to be a dishwasher."
Marshall, a communications major, said he wanted to have a degree and a job when he left KU. But he also said he wouldn't mind if that job was in the National Basketball Association.

"He'd kill me for saying this, but I really didn't think he'd get this far because he was a mama's baby," she said. "But he loved basketball."
"As long as I can remember, he was playing basketball."
LaVerne Marshall said she never thought her son would make basketball his career.

Although Marshall won't be playing basketball this season, he still spends a lot of off-court time with his teammates, who he said were like family.
Teammate Danny Manning, forward, said Marshall was handling his season off well.
"used to admire everybody — Dr. J, Magic Johnson, Kareem — not just one person," he said.
"It's important that he doesn't feel left out," Manning said. "He'll come to the house all the time. All of us guys are really close."
Marshall's absence will be important to a young team that has already lost three starters.
"There are going to be some situations that the freshmen aren't ready for yet," Manning said.
Cairns said that once his 12-month rehabilitation program is finished, Marshall probably will not have to wear a brace or take any special precautions to avoid in-hurting his knee.
Marshall said that until then, he would continue to run, pedal, lift and wait.
Marshall will begin practice drills with the rest of the team soon.

Sponsors promote athletics
Corporate gift giveaways spark enthusiasm and profits
Students aren't the only fans of KU athletics.
Every year, corporations spend thousands of dollars on promotional campaigns, hoping that No.1 foam fingers and pizza coupons will translate into sales.
"Yes, it's a form of advertising called brand awareness," said Kent Weiser, director of marketing for the KU athletic department. "If you'd ask someone on the street what company was behind 'Late Night with Larry Brown,' he'd say Pizza Hut."
When Braniff Airways gives away plane tickets, when Pizza Hut hands out crimson and blue pom pons and when Miller Brewing Company pays skydivers to float onto the football field, fans remember the corporate names behind the promotions, he said.
Weiser explained that these campaigns allowed students to have more fun, which in turn projected a positive image about the corporation.
"Companies do something good for us. We do something good for them. And this does something good for the students." Weiser said
Jayhawk men's basketball fans can expect many of the same promotional events as last year.
Miller gave away more than 10,000 team pictures at KU's game with the Soviet National team Nov. 19, according to Tod Leiwek, of Leiwek and Company, an advertising firm in

Kansas City, Mo. Weiwek serves as a liaison between KU and Miller and structures promotional campaigns.
This season, Leiweik said. Miller will give away the blue. No. 1 foam fingers. A third give-away is still in the planning stage.
During football season, Miller paid for skydivers in the opening game against North Carolina on Sept. 13 and sponsored a second appearance of the Famous Chicken.
The corporation turned down the idea, but Weiser said the Athletic Department would approach a different corporation to buy an applause meter next year.
Braniff Airways and Pizza Hut will join to sponsor five half-time free throw competitions in which the winner receives two tickets to any destination that Braniff flies.
Pizza Hut will again give away pom pons and distribute discount pizza coupons at games, Weiser said.
"This just lets us have a little fun," he said. "We already have such a wonderful basketball program; it doesn't need any help. We want to make it unbelievable."
Karla Campbell, executive assistant of Weight Watchers of Greater Kansas City, said her company wanted to increase awareness of women's sports.
An official with a corporate sponsor of women's athletics said many of its promotional campaigns were intended to increase attendance.
Weight Watchers sponsors promotional campaigns at women's basketball, volleyball and softball games. The company paid for sunglasses that were given away at a volleyball game and will give away more products at basketball games in January and February.
"Promotions give the University the opportunity to increase attendance at women's games," Campbell said. "The men have all the support in the world. We'd like the women to have that kind of support."
One corporation was asked to buy an applause meter. As the noise of the crowd gets louder, the meter would flash green, then yellow, then orange, then red lights. When the crowd made enough noise, a Jayhawk at the top of the meter would light up.
"This gets our name out in the public and makes people more aware of eating properly," she said. "Weight Watchers has the image of having middle-aged, overweight customers. With promotion through the college, we can appeal to younger people."
In turn, Weight Watchers benefits from the advertising.
Weiser said that the Athletic Department had not exhausted its ideas for future corporate promotions.
