Reciprocal tuition program faltering
By Laura Woodward Kansan staff writer
Negotiations have faltered recently over the cost of a ongoing reciprocal tuition program, but Kansas and Missouri officials still hope to reach an agreement by January, a Regents official said.
The Regents and the Missouri Coordinating Board for Higher Education hope to decide on a new long-term agreement that will allow Missouri students to pay resident rates at Kansas architecture schools and Kansas students to do the same at Missouri. (CBS) An orthodontist school. Kansas has no dentistry schools and Missouri has no architecture schools.
"We were concerned because, over the years, the number of architecture students had increased and Kansas was paying about $1.5 million more per year," he said on Monday, director of academic affairs for the Board of Regents.
Michael A. McManis, associate commissioner for planning and academic programs for the Missouri Coordinating Board, said, "Missouri is very interested in having an agreement with Kansas. We hope to have a successful partnership especially so prospective students will know what is going on."
Hammond said the Regents wanted a program that would be "revenue neutral," or cost the two states equal amounts.
"We are in the throes of trying to reach such an agreement," she said.
"The proposals that we're making change almost hourly."
The Regents ended the original agreement with Missouri in spring 1988 because they believed Kansas carried a heavier financial burden than Missouri, Hammond said. Kansas had absorbed costs of about $1.5 million while the agreement was in effect because more Missouri students attended Kansas schools than Kansas students attended UMKC. The agreement was made in the 1960s.
The two boards negotiated an interim agreement for fall 1988 and spring 1989 in which Kansas took 50 dental students and Missouri took 25 dental students.
This fall, a total of 152 students from Missouri enrolled in Kansas architecture programs, and Missouri is paying the difference between instate and out-of-state tuition for 102 of them.
"Those people who were part of the original agreement were allowed to go through to completion. Hammerstone and his team mores through fifth-year seniors."
The Regents most recent proposal to set an exchange ratio of 71 Missouri architecture students to 25 students was rejected by Missouri.
McMansi said the coordinating board had considered another proposal in which Missouri students would attend UMKC for the first two years and then transfer into a KU or St. Elizabeth University architecture program.
He said the coordinating board would meet tomorrow morning to discuss the options.
Three McCollum Hall fires being investigated as arson
By Jeremy Kohn Kansan staff writer
When a 2:40 m. fire alarm forced Milissa Boy out of sleep and into a McCollum Hall hallway on Nov. 21, she walked up a wall of smoke.
"Our floor was full of smoke, and you couldn't tell where it was coming from," the Chanute junior said yesterday.
KU police and Lawrence Fire Department officials say the Nov. 21 fire and two others in McColum are arsons and are under investigation. A reward of up to $5,000 is offered for information leading to an arrest.
According to KU police department records, the smoke Nov. 21 was caused by a smoldering fire in McCollum's east wing trash chute. Boyer and hundreds of other residents were taken into the building and returned after the Lawrence Fire Department put out the fire.
No damage was caused by the fire.
Fred McElhenne, associate director of housing, said fire officials notified him before Thanksgiving that they would investigate the fire's
cause. The investigation would include two additional trash chute fires in McCollum; one before Thanksgiving break and one during it.
The Kansas Committee on Arson Prevention is offering up to $5,000 for information leading to an arrest. A $200 reward is offered for information leading to the arrest of those responsible for this semester's rash of false fire alarms, said Jim McSwall, Lawrence fire chief.
He said that an on-going investigation had produced evidence that the fires were not accidental.
"We think it's people playing games," McSwain said.
McElenie said that trash chute fires could become especially dangerous to residents because they produced large amounts of smoke.
"These can smolder for a long time," McElenhie said. "It's not the meat that kills people, it's smoke."
James Denney, KU police director, said that officers had questioned McCollum residents about the fires, but that no information leading to an arrest had been received.
You don't need your parents' money to buy a Macintosh.
Just their signature.
It's never been difficult for students to convince their parents of the need for a Macintosh computer at school.
Which is why Apple created the Student Loan to Own Program. An ingenious loan program that makes buvying a Macintosh as easy as using one.
Persuading them to write the check, however, is another thing altogether.
Simply pick up an application at the location listed below, or call 800-831-LOAN. All your parents need to do is fill it out, sign it,
and send it. If they qualify, they'll receive a check for you in just a few weeks.
There's no collateral. No need to prove financial hardship. No application fee.
Best of all, the loan payments can be spread over as many as 10 years. Which gives you and your parents plenty of time to decide just who pays for it all.
*Offer open only to full-time KU students
