Record enrollment closes courses
Staff writer
By AUSON 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 increase in 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 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.

Brown not taking chances

Mention superstitions around the Kansas basketball office and you'll see a lot of head-shaking by assistant coaches, secretaries and players
You'll also see an almost embarrassed, yet knowing grin from men's basketball head coach Larry Brown — the believer of many superstitions.
"Coaching makes us all do fun things." Brown explained as he gazed down at the carpet in his office. "I don't know if the things I do are more of a routine or superstitions."
Praising Reagan for taking fast action to investigate the spreading scandal, Bush predicted, "As the various investigations proceed. I
Whatever they are, there are plenty of them. Brown has superstitions ranging from the way he and his assistant coaches dress for games to the way he shaves in the morning.
"There's a certain pattern I follow," he said with a boyish grin, while leaning on an arm resting on his huge desk. "I even find myself shaking my shaving cream the same way every morning."
Routine seems to be the key to any superstition. Brown mainly is swayed by anything that happens before his team loses.
"I had a jacket that was really
"Little things happen that become a part of the routine," he said.
Even Brown's assistant coaches must follow suit.
Little things in the form of suits, ties, haircuts, exercise and a handshake, to name a few
"If you see Larry lose a big game in a new suit," said Scott Perelman, KU tennis coach and close friend of Brown's, "that suit will be passed on to someone else."
pretty and I liked it a bit, but we lost a game once when I wore it," Mark Freidinger, KU assistant coach, said of his role in Brown's superstitions. "I wore it anyway to this one game that ended up being pretty close. When it got down to the wire, I took it off and we won the game."
loss to Duke University in the Final Four when the entire coaching staff wore them during the game.
Paisley ties are now forbidden on the KU bench after last year's
Neckties, though, are the ultimate victims of Brown's superstitions.
"I'm a sticker for ties," Brown said. "I won't wear one again if I lose in it. When I coached in the NBA, we had close to 82 games a year. You were doing good if you won 50 games. That's 32 ties gone. It can get expensive."
In addition to his ties and suits, Brown also is conscious of his eyeglasses, one of his superstitions he says he's embarrassed to talk about.
it's also questionable whether KU's red uniforms, which were worn in the Duke game, will be worn this year, unless it's an easy game in which the uniforms can redeem themselves.
one of Brown's many superstitions, which he says come from things that hap
before a team loss.
"I'm careful with what I wear," Brown said. "If I like something and we lose when I wear it, I'll wear it to a game I'm pretty sure we'll win. But, if I lose twice in it, I'll never wear it again."
Brown bought this distinguishable round-frame glasses during a trip to New York City before basketball season.
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 Aatollah Ruhullah Khomeini.
"I saw these glasses in one of the stores," he explained. "At first, I didn't buy them. But then I went back and asked the guy there if they had a lot of wins in them. He said 'yes' so I bought them."
Assistant coach Alvin Gentry told of the time he spilled the salt shaker during a meal on game
They described being around Brown as tough.
His superstitions also creep in to the lives of those around him — especially those of the players and assistant coaches.
Brown won 35 games last year in those glasses.
On court, a player can't call a make or a miss when they shoot the ball.

"That was the ultimate sin." Gentry said, laughing. "I felt like I was in one of those movies where time stands still and the weird music comes on."
R. C. Buford. KU volunteer coach, also joked about Brown's superstititions
"It's scary," he said with a shake of the head. "We've got to think that what he believes is true, too."
"You won't think about it and say something," said Cedric
And his players must also abide by the rules.
