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. "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 240.
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 "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 Aatollah Ruhullah Khomeini.
Praising Reagan for taking fast action to investigate the spreading scandal, Bush predicted, "As the various investigations proceed." I

Eight players join KU team that lost 7 letterwinners

As basketball season begins, KU women's head coach Marian Washington once again finds herself in the role of teacher.

Washington said recently that playing that role was something she seemed to face every season, and this year it is especially true as the Jayhawks try to make up for the loss of six letterwriters from last year's team.
Guard Lisa Dougherty covers Mira Jovanovic of the Red Star Women's Basketball Club of Belgrade, Yugoslavia. A junior and co-captain, Dougherty this season will help anchor a young Kansas team.
Washington, starting her 14th year at the helm, is quickly trying to familiarize eight newcomers with her basketball system.
"Some of the girls come from programs where they don't have multiple defenses," she said. "We have many offenses, and I'm doing a lot of teaching. You have to have patience."
Because there aren't any superstars on this year's team, a balanced attack featuring perimeter shooting will characterize the team.
The 6-4 Tulsa, Okla., freshman has been putting in early morning work to improve her pivot moves and endurance.
One good aspect of having a young team, Washington said, was that she could work with the women for a couple of years and form a strong team.
Then Lynn Page entered the picture.
"She's made a lot of progress over the past eight to 10 weeks." Washington said, "She runs the floor better and has become more aggressive on offense."
The one question mark for the women's team is a lack of height. Jennings, 6-foot-5, played center last year, but when she transferred, the 'Hawks were left without a true center.
Assistant coach Kevin Cook said Page had good hands but he was more impressed with her desire to improve.
BY BRIAN SNYDER
After the Nov. 14 game against the Yugoslavian national team, Page said that she hoped to eventually start but that this year would be a learning process. She will see time as a reserve.
In order to have as strong a team as last year — Kansas finished in a tie for second in the Big Eight Conference with a 9-5 conference record and an 18-10 record overall — the Jayhawks will have to find a way to replace Vickie Adkins, who graduated and Kelly Jennings, who transferred to Washburn.
The Jayhawks need all the help they can get with their inside game because Adkins and Jennings also were first and second on the team in rebounds, combining for 17.7 rebounds a game.
Washington said last year that the Big Eight race would be close, and it was. Oklahoma won the championship on the final day of the season.
Martin again will be called upon to provide power inside. She is the leading rebounder among the returning letterwinners from last year.
Last year, Adkins was the leading Kansas scorer with a 22 points-per game average. Jennings was the second leading scorer with 12.8 points a game.
Defensively, Adkins and Jennings combined for 75 of the team's 96 blocked shots.
Other women Washington said would contribute this year were juniors Sandy Shaw, Kerri Hawley and walk-on freshman Diane Senne.
"Our offense will be tremendously quick. Our fans will have fun watching us get up and down the court."
Filling the considerable scoring void left by Adkins and Jennings will be senior veteran Evette Ott; juniors Lisa Dougherty and Jackie Martin; and newcomer Lisa Braddy, a high school All-American.
Washington said that the team was deepest at the guard position, with Ott, Dougherty and Braddy.
"We have a good veteran in Ott," Washington said. "Last year was her best year.

Others getting time at guard will be juniors Mesho Stroughter and Shawna Waters.
