Enrollment planning a way to enhance quality

Enrollment ... continue on p2

The UFS will in the next few yearshave to carefully manage itsenrollment of students, said Prof.

Magda Fourie, Vice-rector AcademicPlanning, and Mr Willem Malherbe,Registrar Strategic Planning.

Over the past two years rapid growthwas experienced at all higher educationinstitutions, including, the UFS. A lack ofemployment, more learners passingmatric every year, availability of financialaid and an increase in living standards

are a few of the reasons why there wasan increase of 6,6% in the growth rate atuniversities in general. At the UFS inparticular, the turn-around strategy, bettermarketing, better programmes and betterfacilities were responsible for the growthrate above the national average.

Yet the budget for higher educationfrom the National Treasury is a limitedone and cannot cope with excessivegrowth in student numbers. Due to afaster national growth rate than predicted

by government, the Department of Edu-cation needs to limit the number of stu-dents taken in at universities until 2007.In the future we will have to focus moreon quality students and differentiatedgrowth in particular programme areas,said Prof. Fourie.

The incorporation of Qwaqwa and theBloemfontein campus of Vista also hadan impact on the growth of student num-bers at the UFS. The Qwaqwa campusmust grow for it to be financially viable.

Graduation milestone for theUFS Qwaqwa Campus

On 9 October 2004 the MandelaHall at the University of theFree State Qwaqwa campus

was filled to capacity as the com-munity gathered to celebrate thegraduation of 177 students. Amongthe degrees awarded were one doc-torate, eight master’s, 31 honours and46 bachelor’s degrees. In additionthere were also 91 diplomas awarded.

Qwaqwa campus made historywhen Dr Motseki Hlatshwayo was thefirst person from the campus toreceive a doctorate in the Natural andAgricultural Sciences. This is a causefor celebration and attests to theresilience of staff and students as wellas the commitment and support of theimmediate community for the con-tinued offering of relevant post-graduate training on the Qwaqwacampus, said Prof. Peter Mbati,Campus Head.

In his welcome speech, Prof.Mbati, said: “A special day like today isnormally only possible due to the de-

dication and commitment of manydifferent individuals. It is therefore onlyfitting that we salute the parents andguardians for all your sacrifices to en-sure that your children receive the besteducation.”

At the graduation ceremony are from the left Prof. Peter Mbati, Mrs Busiswa Tshabalala, Director ofEducation, Thabo Mofutsanyane District and UFS Council member and Prof. Frederick Fourie: UFS Rector.

The first Deputy President of theSRC, Mr Tello Motloung, also addressedthe graduandi. “The year 2004 calls forcelebration, as we are not only cele-brating ten years of democracy but alsoyour achievements,” he said.

Mr Malherbe said that the UFS hasmade a strong case for further growthat the Qwaqwa campus to theDepartment of Education.

The positive side of the picture isthat we are moving the focus fromquantity to quality students and we areoptimising students’ opportunities tosucceed, said Prof. Fourie. This theUFS hopes to accomplish throughextended programmes with develop-ment modules, tutor systems andother support mechanisms.

Mr Malherbe said effective enroll-ment planning has to create a balancebetween admitting new first year stu-dents and the through flow and outflowof current students, i.e. enrollment plan-ning has to take account of the numberof students who will graduate, who willdrop out of the system and who willremain in the system, in order to deter-mine how many new students can thusbe admitted to the system. The propor-tion of undergraduate and postgraduatestudents and the number of students inthe various faculties also play animportant role in enrollment planning.

The UFS is utilising the registrationprocess as a mechanism to manageenrollment planning. “We will be moredisciplined and keep to deadlines forregistrations,” said Prof. Fourie. “After 30November 2004 only applications whichare in accordance with our planningparameters will be considered,” she said.

Through extended programmes andcounseling services the UFS tries tocreate a learning environment to addquality and prevent a drop in standards.“We want to make higher education ac-cessible to all. Although it makes moredemands on human and financial resour-ces, we are committed to face the chal-lenge of creating a balance betweenequity, redress and quality,” said Prof.Fourie.

The enrollment planning processshould not have a dramatic impact onstaff, said Prof. Fourie. Although thegrowth phase of the UFS is something ofthe past, the success of the turn-aroundstrategy has given us a stronger basis onwhich to build. “We are now ready toenter the consolidation phase where wewill focus on quality.”

The 2004/2005 StudentRepresentative Council (SRC)of the UFS is planning a reunionfor old SRC members on 5February 2005. The reunion willform part of the closing activitiesof the UFS centenary.

Prof. Holmes using a Dormer hydraulic corer to extract sand samples for optically

stimulated luminescence dating from a dune cordon near Sedgefield.

The UK based Leverhulme Trust hasawarded a research grant of£29 000 (approximately R350 000)

for collaborative research into the geo-morphic evolution of dune systems, coas-tal aeolianites and sea level change alongSouth Africa’s southern and westerncoasts, said Prof. Peter Holmes from theDepartment of Geography at the UFS.

Dr Mark Bateman of the University ofSheffield is the principal grant holder, andProf. Holmes is the principal South Afri-can collaborator. Prof. Holmes introducedDr Bateman to the Southern Cape duringfieldwork in 2001 and the two publishedtheir initial findings that revealed dunedevelopment associated with sea-levelchanges over the last 200 000 years.

The bulk of the grant will cover labo-ratory costs at the University of Sheffieldand fieldwork in South Africa. A betterunderstanding of how, and when, SouthAfrica’s coastal environments have evol-ved will provide a context for archaeolo-gists who are reconstructing the origins ofmodern humans in the Southern Caperegion.

Elizabeth NchapiFinance is her passion

UFS present at International Geological Congress

The International Excursion Group consisted of representatives from China, England, Finland, Israel, South Africa, Turkey and Japan. The tour leader was Aral Okay from

Turkey. Prof. Van Der Westhuizen is third from left and Dr Collins is far right.

Who is Ms Nchapi, I asked?Without hesitation or fear ofrevealing too much about

herself, or her age, she said: “I wasborn in Mount Fletcher, a small town inthe Eastern Cape, where I matriculated.I am 39 years old and married withthree kids named Palesa, Motebangand Molapo. My first name is Moipone,but with four Moipone’s on campuseverybody calls me Elizabeth.”

Holding the fort in the FinanceDivision at the Qwaqwa campus is abig responsibility, Elizabeth said. “I wasalways passionate about finance and allmy life I worked in the financedepartment.” Elizabeth equipped herselfto enhance her skills and knowledge of

this passion of hers. In 1983 she did adiploma in Commerce at the thenUniversity of the North campus inQwaqwa and later in 2001, at the sameinstitution, she enrolled for herB.Comm. degree. Her hard work paidoff and in May this year Elizabethobtained her B.Comm. Honours degreein Accounting.

Elizabeth started working at theQwaqwa campus ten years ago. Sincethen she witnessed many changes, butdue to her positive nature, all for thegood. “When I joined Finance in 1994 Iwas the first black person in that office.After 1999, when management wassuspended, a number of people left theuniversity, giving only 24 hours’ notice.

In 2001 I was asked to assist and wasappointed as acting head of theFinance Division. It was reallychallenging because in a short periodof time I had to sit down and learn thejob by either consulting those peoplewho left or with the financial advisorthat was appointed by the universityadministrator.

A normal day at the office forElizabeth starts with a prayer,whereafter she writes in her diary. Now,being ready to face all challengescoming her way, she will check her e-mails, open the cashier’s offices andtend to the normal business of the day.After work Elizabeth will leave the officeto attend gym and on Tuesdays shelikes attending church where she is partof a group who prays and gives adviceto the terminally ill.

The community of Qwaqwa is veryimportant to Elizabeth. “People in ourcommunity are looking for a betterservice. Although the Qwaqwa campusis not the same as the other twocampuses, because of its uniqueenvironment with different needs, weare in the position to deliver a higherstandard of service to our community. Itis not an easy process but throughcommunication, hard work and anattitude of “we can” we will be able toprovide a quality service,” she said.

Dr Wayne Colliston and Profs.Willem van der Westhuizen andDerik de Bruiyn from the Depart-

ment of Geology presented scientificpapers on their research to a multi-na-tional audience and participated in twointernational excursions at the 32nd In-ternational Geological Congress in Flo-rence. Dr Colliston also participated in aworkshop and field excursion on “Fluidflow in faults”.

Prof. De Bruiyn attended the Inter-national Excursion to examine the geo-logy and volcanism of the volcanic is-lands and volcanoes of Stromboli, Lipariand Vulcano. Dr Colliston and Prof. vander Westhuizen participated in theexcursion to NW Turkey, to examinehigh pressure metamorphic rocks.

Onthaalgebou van die Rektor vir dieoorhandiging van Langdienstoekenningsaan personeel. ‘n Mooi gebou, mooigeleentheid en lekker kos! Ek hetuitgewerk dat die lotjie se diensjare saam1 410 beloop. Gesamentlik het diemense dus kennis opgebou wat, as aldie kennis in een persoon se kop was,hy of sy reeds in die jaar 594 moes beginswot het! En ou Jan van Riebeeck heteers hier in 1652 kom Nguni-bees braai!Om te dink, die mense het ‘n kwart ofmeer van die Varsity se geskiedenis van100 jaar hier spore getrap en klippegekap. Geluk mnr. M.G. Botha, vroeërvan Geologie, met jou 35 jaar van klippeopbreek. Ek wonder hoeveel kennis hyvan die Geologie moes opgebou het!Ongelooflik hoe die tyd vlieg!

Imagine the year 594. A great Greekpoet of those times already had re-markable insight: “You can’t step intothe same river twice,” or “dogs bark atwhat they don’t understand.” Today,more than 1 400 years later, ideasabout life, nature, and the cosmos re-main as startlingly original as ever. Iheard one of my students uttering anage-old truth: “You can’t fool the samewoman more than once!”

Ja, ons wortels kom van vêr af.Mammie sê reeds sy wil my DNA laatontleed vir hierdie nuwe voorgeslag-toetse. Sy sê: “Iewers in my genepoelmoes my voorgeslagte die ‘Big Bang’misgeloop het.” En dit net omdat ek niekan verstaan hoekom elfuur op my hor-losie verkeerd kan wees as al die anderhorlosies in die huis sê dit is reedskwart voor twaalf nie! En nou kom ont-dek hulle nog Venus is die enigste pla-neet wat kloksgewys om sy eie asdraai. “Dit wys jou,” sê Mammie: “Mansis van Mars en foeter altyd stroomop indie verkeerde rigting!” Ek sweer sy’tprof. Engela Pretorius se intreerede by-gewoon. Mammie is beslis in die “thirdwave of feminist theory, namely post-modernist feminism, which underscoresdiversity and difference. The effort ofthese feminists is aimed at all systemsof domination!”

Ja, die tye verander en die wêrelddie draai, die draai, soos Langenhovenna sy sesde glasie soetwyn gesê het!Dis einde van die jaar. So julle moet dievakansie INTENS gaan vakansie hou.Carpe Diem!

Mense wat voorwaar die dag gryp,is bv. die oftalmoloog, prof. AndriesStulting en sy bekwame span wat dieKatarakblits uitgevoer het. Geluk met

die goue medalje wat hy in Moembaai,Indië ontvang het. Naastediens met vi-sie! Mej. Ellie van Dalen van Dierkundeen Entomologie wen toe ‘n NasionaleInnoveringsprys van R50 000 met haarplan om bosluise wat ‘n weerstand op-gebou het teen chemiese middels te be-stry. Die diereryk is haar ook dankbaar!

Een man wat ook sy rus verdien, isWillie Lubbe by Salarisse. Seker eenvan die hardwerkendste en vriendelikstemense op die kampus. En prof. Kapok-kie met sy dirigeerstokkie! Ons gaan joumis, Deon! Lekker rus en mag jy weetjy’s een van die talentvolste musici wathier hemelse klanke gemaak het.

Prof. Sybrand Strauss het die FakulteitTeologie in Suid-Korea en Japan ver-teenwoordig waar hy die geleentheidgekry het om lesings te lewer en tepreek. Hy was beïndruk met die entoe-siastiese meelewing van kerklidmate.

Met ‘n besoek aan Nederland, Bel-gië, Frankryk en Italië het prof. JohanJanse van Rensburg teologiese ge-sprekke gevoer met verskeie akademici.Hy het ook ‘n aantal kunsgalerye besoekter voorbereiding vir twee vakkundigeartikels waaraan hy werk.

Dr. Jan-Albert van den Berg het ‘ninterkulturele forum oor “HIV/Aids, Vio-lence and Children: A Ground-Up Prac-tical Theology from Atteridgeville andKatlehong, South Africa” aangebied metsy besoek aan Duitsland en Hongarye.

Help asseblief skryf:Dit is soms maar vir my moeilik omsin te maak van die twee wêrelde watons op kampus beleef.

Aan die een kant is ons besig omvan die mees gesofistikeerderekenaarstelsels in werking te stel enkan ons met die druk van 'n knoppiemet mense aan die ander kant vandie aardbol kommunikeer, maar dit is'n saak van onmoontlikheid om 'nding in 'n koevert by iemand in 'nander gebou op die kampus te kry.Bodedienste bestaan in sommigegevalle en in ander gevalle glad nie.En sommige van hulle werk nettussen sekere geboue - jammer virdie ander. As jy dringend iets byiemand moet kry, hardloop jy maarself en vergeet van die ander werkwat wag.

Jy is ook gelukkig as 'n posstukby jou uitkom. Dit kan tot meer astwee weke duur net om op die kam-pus by die regte persoon uit te kom.

Ek bekommer my ook oor rekeningevan verskaffers. Sommige koerier ditmaar, want stuur hulle dit met die poslyk dit of dit in daardie groot gat in dieMelkweg verdwyn.

Kan iemand nie asseblief help!

Mnr Phillip Ryan: Logistiekedienste antwoord:Die inperking van die bodediens infakulteite, was ‘n natuurlike uitvloeiselvan die Wolvaardt draaistrategie, en ditwas dan ook die keuse vandepartemente/fakulteite watter dienstenie meer gelewer gaan word nie.

Die bodes by die posafdeling hetuitsluitlik ten doel om posstukke vanafdie admin na die res van die kampus teversprei, en dit net as die afsender indie admin geleë is, en per posboekiedie stukke wil laat aflewer.

Alle ander kampuskorrespondensieword deur die aantal oorblywendebodes in die departemente/fakulteiteself hanteer, en word alle pos wat dieposafdeling vir die res van die kampus

ontvang, in die posbusse onder in dieadmin gebou gesorteer.

Die posstukke wat “stadigbeweeg”, is dus nie noodwendig dieverantwoordelikheid van dieposafdeling se bodes nie, soos wathier verduidelik is. Indien dit wel diegeval is, moet die probleme by diekantoorhoof van die posafdelingaangemeld word, sodat die saakondersoek kan word.

Indien rekeninge van verskaffersaan ‘n departement/fakulteitgeadresseer word, word dieposstukke op ‘n daaglikse basis indie posbusse by die posafdelinggesorteer.

Die drie beskikbare bodes by dieposafdeling se take is nie net beperktot die lewering van ‘n bodediens nie,maar is slegs een van die take aanhul opgelê. Hierdie funksie kan nie nadie res van die kampus uitgebreiword nie.
