Record enrollment closes courses
By 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," Gary Thompson, director of student records, said.
yesterday. "Enrollment is like a store going out of
school and 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 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
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 Ayatollah Ruholkh Khomeini.
Praising Reagan for taking fast action to investigate the spreading scandal, Bush predicted, "As the various investigations proceed, I

Calvin Thompson participates in a recent intraquad game for the Topeka Sizzlers Thompson and Ron Kellogg, both members of last year's Javakh team, are playing for the Sizzlers of the American Basketball Association.
Former stars return to area
The roaring, excited crowd was nowhere to be seen. The only sounds were the squeak of high-tops skidding across the floor, the swoosh of the net and occasional outbursts from the coach.
Being signed by the Sizzlers gave both players a chance to come home, or at least come close to home, and try to be successful in professional basketball. They were drafted in June in the National Basketball Association's annual draft.
BY KRISTI SCHROEDER
Kellogg had been drafted by the Atlanta Hawks and was traded immediately to the Los Angeles Lakers, and almost made it to the final cut. Thompson was drafted by the New York Knicks and was cut right after minicamp.
Now, they are back on familiar ground, biding their time until they get the call to go back to the NRA.
It isn't Allen Field House, but Lee Arena at Washburn in Topeka is close enough to home for two former KU basketball players. Ron Kellogg and Calvin Thompson are trying to survive the cut and play for the Topeka Sizzlers, a Continental Basketball Association team. The Sizzlers will make their final selections tomorrow.
"I'm happy to be back," Thompson said at a recent Sizzlers' practice, "but I'm not satisfied. I'll make the most of it until I get a chance to go back up."
II.
Kellogg said that he had learned some important things at the Lakers' training camp, but the most important was to stay healthy. Kellogg was plagued with problems with his right ankle and a pulled hamstring throughout the camp.
Kellogg takes heart in the Sizzlers' affiliation with the Lakers and in knowing that the Lakers draw a lot of their players from the team.
"I see this as a stepping stone to further my career."
Kellogg also has mixed feelings about being back.
"It ites great. I'm glad and then I'm not," Kellogg said. "It was kind of a letdown."
"I have faith in myself," Thompson said.
Thompson figures he will stick with the CBA for a couple of years and what happens. But he also finds the possibility of being cut by the team.
"I have to stay healthy and play as well as I can," he said.
Kellogg said that if things didn't work out for him, he would come back to KU and finish school. Kellogg said he needed
Being back on familiar ground is not easy for the players, especially being so close to the field house where they shared some of their best times and games.
about 12 hours to graduate.
"At first it hurt," Thompson said. "I couldn't go in the gym. But now it makes me feel good to see I'm playing well here."
What also helped Thompson come back were the friends he made while he was at KU. He's also close to his family in Kansas City, Kan.
For Kellogg the ties to KU are still strong, but he's not necessarily as sentimental as Thompson.
"Life goes on," Kellogg said. "I've been there for four years. I've gotten used to not being on the court."
Kellogg said he almost didn't watch the Jayhawks exhibition game against the Soviet National team. He said he would like to see many people show up for KU games this year because it was one measure of how the team had improved under head coach Larry Brown.
See SIZZLERS, p. 24, col. 1
Kellogg's only regret from his years at KU was that the team never won a national title.
