Alcohol awareness group to start
By Christine Martin
Kansan staff writer
The president of the KU chapter of Bacchus, a national alcohol-awareness organization, is hoping the group will become active again this semester.
Bacchus, which stands for Boost Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students, was started at KU in 1982 but had been inactive, Jon Brax, president of KU's chapter said yesterday. The national organization has 293 chapters.
The organization gives students who are concerned about alcohol-related issues a place to bring suggestions, Brax said.
Brax said that KU's chapter of Bacchus had no members now. But people who are interested in joining the group can sign up at the Student Assistance Center in 121 Strong Hall.
Brax said that this semester, he hoped the group could hold meetings, bring speakers to KU and work to make an arrangement with bar owners that would provide free nonalcoholic beverages to
designated drivers. He hopes the organization will help with future Alcohol Awareness Weeks, such as the one last October.
Brax plans to invite the presidents and social chairman of sororities and fraternities to join BRAX.
Lorna Zimmer, director of the Student Assistance Center and adviser to KU's chapter of Bacchus, said the organization focused on teaching people about the safe use of alcohol.
Form shortens add-drop lines
By Kim Lightle
A shorter add-drop form is meaning shorter lines for students needing to change their schedules.
Kansan staff writer
The new add-drop form allows students to add, drop and change classes with one form. Students also can rank the transactions in the order they want them processed.
Students can pick up the new forms on a table outside the enrollment center until Jan. 28. After that, students will be required to use separate cards for each add, drop or change of section.
Students had to use the individual cards for the entire add-drop period under the old system. That system took longer and cost the
University more, said Gary Thompson, director of student records.
More than 80,000 of the individual cards were handed out for the fall semester, costing the University of Kansas about $800, Thompson said.
Because students took handfuls of the cards, the enrollment center began handing cards to each student.
"It was a waste of staff time to hand them out that way," said Thompson. "It made us look stiny."
Thompson said he hadn't gotten a bill for the new forms but expected the new system to be less expensive.
Keeping costs down was a concern, he said.
"Some schools charge for their add-drop cards and their time-tables," he said. "We don't want to do that."
One of the best benefits of the new system, he said, is that it is easier for students to change their schedules.
The forms have cut down on the amount of paperwork for the students and the computer operators who process the forms, he said.
Susan Doherty, Olathe sophomore, has been through add-drop three times since she has been at UCF and a new form was a pleasant surprise.
"I was ready to go in and pick up about five or six cards," she said. "It's put everything in order. I feel a lot more confident about what I'm doing."
SenEx reviews Ramaley response
The University Senate Executive Committee yesterday discussed Executive Vice Cancellor Judith Ramaley's draft response to a campus AIDS task force report and agreed on the wording of an add-drop proposal.
Ramaley was not at the SenEx meeting, but she distributed draft copies of her response to SenEx members last week. She is expected to respond publicly this week to several recommendations from a campus AIDS task force.
One of the suggestions the task force made in December was to install condom machines in campus restrooms.
SenEx also approved the wording of an add-drop proposal that will be debated by University Council on Jan. 28. SenEx had previously approved a similar plan that would make the drop period two weeks and the drop period two weeks and two days.

The SenEx proposal divides the class withdrawal period into time segments.
During the first segment, which includes the first two weeks of the semester and first week of the summer session, students could drop a course and have it deleted from their records after notifying their school's dean.
The second segment includes the third, fourth and fifth weeks of the semester and the second week of the summer session. During this time, students would be able to drop a course and a "W" would appear on their student roll.
Halls offer ample space for students
Each school would develop its own withdrawal policy after the fifth week of the semester ...
The SenEx proposal also includes an drop policy that would prevent a student from enrolling in a course or changing class sections after 12 academic days (Monday through Friday) into the semester, provided the class has met at least twice.
Although residence halls at the University of Kansas were booked past their limit last fall, they have more than enough space for students this spring.
At the end of last week, 4,300 were students living in KU's eight residence halls. The halls can accommodate 4,740 students.
By a Kansan reporter
Fred McElenie, director of residential programs, said that no students were living in temporary housing now. In the fall, 176 students had to be housed in temporary rooms.
"People have been contracting for spring semester since last fall,"哄Elkhenne said. "We know we will lock in this summer, but we don't know how many."
McEllenie said that regular residence hall spaces were available in late October but that some students continued living in temporary housings until the winter when preferred staying in the temporary rooms to moving to another hall.
McElhennie said his office did not keep records on how many students canceled their residence hall contracts for this spring.
Randi Schneider, Lewis Hall residence director, said students canceled their contracts for many reasons. The reasons can range from joining a sorority or fraternity to leaving school, she said.
When these students leave, their rooms are filled by students who lived in temporary housing and students who are now contracting for a room, McElhene said.
