Record enrollment closes courses
By AUSON 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 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 124.
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" event. 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

What are the similarities between college basketball and the National Basketball Association?
KANSAN BASKETBALL EXTRA, DECEMBER 2, 1986
What are the differences between college and pro basketball?
It's the same game played at a higher level. I feel like a college freshman all over again. I'm trying to learn the system and I'm working hard for my playing time.
the greatest athletes in the world play in the pros. The NBA is the highest level of basketball in the world. Last year we played against excellent athletes in the Final Four. This year we come out every night and play against excellent athletes.
Have you had to adjust to the pros much? How have you adjusted?
Sure, I've had to adjust. The biggest change was to adapt to the better athletes and teams playing in the league. My playing time's coming sparingly since the coach (Jack Ramsay) is going with the veterans. Last year as a starter, my playing time depended on my foul situation. This year it's more of a waiting game. I'm spending more time listening to the coach and watching the other players. I'm getting a few minutes here and there, and I'm doing the best I can. I didn't expect to come into the league to be a star or starter.
What part of your game needed the most work to survive pro basketball?
Let the chips fall
We want the truth.
's it. I want it. And
apple have a fun-
t.
My offense. I've been working on two or three moves to make myself more effective under the basket.
What did you do in the offseason to prepare for rookie camp?
I lifted weights and ran to build up my strength and endurance. You have to be in top physical condition to play in the NBA.
What are your expectations for the season?
They run different plays but they basically share the same coaching style. Both rely on a balanced offense. Last year we had a balanced offensive attack. We didn't have any players with 20-point scoring averages but all the starters had double-digit scoring averages. We have a balanced offense at Indiana, but I don't anticipate anybody having a 20-point scoring average.
We're looking forward to a good season. We have lots of talented young players. I'll be waiting for my playing time, so I'll have to keep in shape on my own so I'll be ready when my time comes.
What are the coaching similarities and differences between Larry Brown and Jack Ramsay?
How does it feel to play on the same team with former OU All-American Wayman Tisdale?
I enjoy playing on the same team with Wayman. He is a fine player, and we've gotten along great. Wayman's a great guy, despite some of the things that people have said about him in the past. Steve (Stipanovich, former Missouri player) has been a big help to me. He's there to give me tips, and he helps me out with my game.
They're holding up real well. They traveled a lot last year, so it wasn't that big of a change for them.
I might try to get back during the All-Star break to see KU play Notre Dame. I'd like to see Cedric (Hunter) go head-to-head with David Rivers.
How has the travel of being an NBA player affected your family?
Are you going to come back to KU to watch any of the men's basketball games?
