Lindvall: Apply early for readmission
By Pam Sollner
Kansan staff writer
Students who leave the University of Kansas for even one semester must apply for readmission early if they want to return.
"Young people need to understand that they need to apply for readmission. That's been true for a long, long time," said Bruce Lindvall, director of admissions.
Cases resumed Thursday, but Lindvall said 27 students who wanted to be readmitted to the University came to his office Tuesday. He said most of the students had not met the course for spring semester readmission.
Lindvall said many students claimed they didn't know readmission was necessary, although a state-run hospital was on all admission applications.
"I think students should realize
there are deadlines for readmission," he said. "Common sense would tell me that you wouldn't wait until the first day of classes."
For this reason, Lindvall said the Office of Admissions was considering a plan to contact students periodically, asking if they would like to update their files for a future term.

entering the University for Fall 1960
Some students will not return for a semester or year because of financial and family health problems or personal circumstances, Lindvall said.
Lindvall, who also serves as head of the exceptions committee for admissions, said he was sensitive to these circumstances, but he did not think it was fair to allow these students to enroll with other students who had completed the procedures correctly.
During residual enrollment Tuesday, the Enrollment Center nearly faced a lock-rid, a shut-down of the computer system, because all the open class sections allotted for that day reached maximum enrollment.
To alleviate this problem, Lindvall said the center had to release the enrollments of students who had not paid their fees that day. School officials told Z were required to pay fees Tuesday to secure their enrollment.
Lindvall said it was important to maintain the delicate balance between the number of courses and students. When students are admitted by exception, the balance tills.
Lindvall said that although admitting students with extenuation circumstances was understandable, he said much of the shifting balance was caused by academic dismissals.
Kathy Hall, assistant director o
the Liberal Arts Undergraduate Center and chairman of the committee that reviews academic dismissal petitions, said about 425 students were dismissed last semester.
According to University policy, students must wait an academic year before they can be readmitted. During the waiting period, students can take classes at other schools, such as community colleges, or enroll in correspondence courses.
A dismissed student can file a handwritten petition, arguing for immediate readmission. The committee reviews the petitioner's academic record for improvement and difficulty of courses. It gives more consideration to seniors within 20 hours of graduation and students with borderline grade point averages, Hall said.
"Students are asking for a pretty big exception to the rules," Hall said.
Handbook informs Scouts about drugs, abuse
The Associated Press
DALLAS — The new Boy Scout handbook still tells Scouts to “be prepared” and how to use a compass, build campfires and tie knots. But it also aims to help boys cope with life in the '90s.
The handbook, the first in nine years, features a 23-page insert on the dangers of child abuse and drugs, a new environmentally gentle approach to camping, new rules to keep younger Scouts interested, new merit badges such as cinematograf
phy and color photos in place of the old illustrations.
the changes are part of a decade-long drive to modernize the 89-year-old organization and boost its membership, which sagged from 4.8 million in 1972 to 3.1 million in 1979 but has since reduced to 4.3 million.
"We feel like, as the nation's largest youth development organization, that young people should be given a knowledge and a sense of personal power that will help them in their own protection, whether it be
from child abuse or drug abuse," said Lee Sneath, national spokesman for the Boy Scouts of America. "Unfortunately, in today's society these are things that young people need to be aware of."
the new 10th edition of the Boy Scouts Handbook, as the book is officially known, is due to be in stores late this month or early next month. The book has sold in the millions since the first handbook came out in 1910; the last complete revision was in 1981.
Adults involved in scouting are glad to see the organization address child abuse. Like other youth organizations, the Scouts themselves have occasionally been infiltrated by child abusers posing as helpful volunteers.
"I think it's better for squouting that there's more emphasis on it," said Scoutmaster B.R. Heiermann, who led Troops 445 in the Dallas subs of Arlington. "It appalls me when I read news accounts that Scot Seadricks have abused kids. And that abuse doesn't have to always be physical."
747 jet will shuttle Columbia to Florida
The Associated Press
EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE,
Calif. — Ground crews worked
Sunday to prepare space shuttle
Columbia and its cargo — an 11-ton
space lab — for a piggyback jet
ride to Kennedy Space Center in
Florida.
The shuttle begins the trip Thursday, NASA spokesman Patricia Phillips said.
"The work is proceeding very well," she said. "The orbiter appears to be very healthy, as does LDEF." She was referring to the Long Duration Exposure Facility, which conducted laboratory satellite is called.
Columbia and five astronauts landed at this Mojave Desert military base early Saturday, ending a record-length shuttle flight that took place on April 14 in the day the astronauts returned to their home base in Houston.
During the mission, the astronauts deployed a Navy communications satellite, then used the shuttle's robot arm to retrieve the LDEF, which would have fallen into Earth's atmosphere and burned if it wasn't rescued soon.
The satellite will not be removed from Columbia's cargo bay until after the shuttle returns to Florida on Friday night, riding piggyback atop a modified Boeing 747 jetliner.
tamination, ground crews started pumping, cool condition air and nitrogen into the cargo bay even before Columbia was towed off the concrete runway Saturday, Phillips said.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration and contractor employees worked on Columbia on Sunday while it sat inside the large steel girder structure called the mate-demate device.
To protect the LDEF from con-
"Overall, the vehicle is in excellent condition. Any damage is minimal." Phillips said.
She said the number of "dings" found on the orbiter's heat-shield tiles was below average and remained the same as counted Saturday: 85 dings smaller than 1 inch, eight larger ones and one tile requiring replacement.
It isn't unusual for tile damage to be found on one area of the shuttle, and NASA will analyze tapes of the launch to learn what debris caused the damage, Phillips said.
Because of the LDEF, Columbia weighed about 228,400 pounds when it touched down, about 8,000 pounds heavier than any other shuttle during landing. No brake damage has been found, but the brakes will be analyzed, she said.
Phillips said the shuttle's piggyback jet ride will start early Thursday.
