Dear Chanesllor Malott: | 4 | T heve talked with Captain Buhl about a sign being placed on the golf course prohibiting the use of hole No. 6 by the civilian public after 5:30 p.m. We are having a sign made to be placed on the tee of the sixth hole. We have found in the past that vandals soon remove the signs, but at least this will serve the purpose until Captain Buhl can have his signs erected. tT am just passing this on for your information.

Dear Chancellor Malott: = ket St eset of x epeinny ets pe eee me at the end of the first semester questioning the advisability of our failures in physical conditioning. Up to that time I had known of no reason why we should not give a failure in physical conditioning if it were clearly indicated. The Senate Committee on Exemptions had made no ruling in regard to this situetion and naturally our department had deamed it necessary to apply the rule in soms cases. I had recalled a meting with Dr. Mix, Dr. Woodruff end Rey Wichols and myself in Mr. Nichols office to discuss — this mtter. Dr. Mix thought no failures should be given. There was quite a divergence of opinion thers, and we dis- missed upon that occasion with the understanding that Mr. Nichols after consultation with you would call another meet~ inge Ho meeting was called. — leter, after a discussion with Dr. Mix, the Senate Committee on Exemptions met in Dean Reese's office and decided that failures should be given when indicated, the same as in any other course. I make this progress report to you at this time as it is now cleax to me the reason for your call. Very cordially yours, Director of Physical Education, FCA :AH | Varsity Basketball Coach. Office of THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS April 13, 1943 The Chancellor Memorandum to Professor Mix ae Professor Allen Professor Woodruff I understand there has been some trouble with Mr. Wimmer, in the Engineering School, on physical con- ditioning. — If he is to make it up thoroughly and completely I should see no objection in this particular instance in his being allowed to do so. Ordinarily, of course, we want to catch these things earlier. It seems to me, however, the blame for the whole situation is clearly on the student in this case, who must have clearly understood the rule. I therefore think that the minimum he should do is to com- pletely make up the deficiency. He, (Fi Pane Deane W. Malott DWMsh Chancellor Ur. Raymond Wichols, Chancellor's Office.

I find that policies have varied considerably from office to office in the past, but a uniform policy is now necessary in conformity with the uniform pay schedules established under Civil Service. For the clerical, stenographic, and secretarial staff of the University, full-time will, on and after April 12, be understood to comprise a minimum of forty-four hours a week. This program will conform to the equivalent of the following work hours: 200 - 12:00 100 - 5:00 Week days except Saturdays 8:00 - 12:00 Saturdays Whenever there are two or more of the above named workers in a Single office it is expected that the hours will be so staggered that the office will be covered throughout the noon hour. It is understood, of course, that many workers already are working, and by the very nature of their jobs must work, at least upon occasions of peak load, considerably in excess of the forty-four hours a week stipulated as a minimum. The forty-four hour figure must inevitably therefore be a minimum only, with due recognition of the fact that some jobs cannot be completed within the framework of a forty-four hour week. Will you please notify employees under your direction? DEANE W. MALOTT Chancellor Chancellor Deane W. Maloti,.

Will you please prepare a list of such needs for your department and send it to the Chancellor's Office within the next week. Please make a complete but reasonable list of the needs of your department. Each item should be siven ‘with enough detail to indicate the nature of the apparatus. A price, or estimated price, should be given in each case. Due to the rush of time, no effort should be made to secure quotations.

Your attention is called to the fact that two classes will be examined each morning and afternoon. This means that examinations scheduled to begin at 8:30 and 1°30 must close promptly at 10:20 and 3%20 respectively in order that the rooms will be free for the examinations which ure scheduled to follow at 10:30 and 3:30. RaYwOND NICHOLS Executive Secretary EXAMINATION SCHEDULE Fall Semester, 1942-43 January 12 to January 15, 1943, inclusive Three, two and one hour courses scheduled on the TUESDAY, THURSDAY, SATURDAY sequence will be examined as follows: TUESDAY, January 12 4:30 classes at 10:30 to 12:20 11:30 classes at 3:30 to 5:20 All five and four hour courses, and three, two and one hour courses scheduled on the MONDAY, WED- NESDAY, FRIDAY sequence will be examined as follows: TUESDAY, January 12 1:30 classes at 8:30 to 10:20 2:30 classes at 1:30 to 3:20 WEDNESDAY, January 13 8:30 classes at 8:30 to 10:20 11:30 classes at 3:30 to 5:20 THURSDAY, January 14 10:30 classes at 8:30 to 10:20 4:30 classes at 10:30 to 12:20 FRIDAY, January 15 9:30 classes at 8:30 to 10:20 WEDNESDAY, January 13 3:30 classes at 10:30 to 12:20 ‘ 1:30 classes at 1:30 to 3:20 THURSDAY, January 14 8:30 classes at 1:30 to 3:20 9:30 classes at 3:30 to 5:20 FRIDAY, January 15 10:30 classes at 10:30 to 12:20 2:30 classes at 3:30 to 5:20 3:30 classes at 1:30 to 3:20 Grades—The Senate regulations regarding grades are as follows: A, B, C, and D, shall be em- ployed to indicate the four passing grades. . . shall be reserved for work of marked excellence, indicating high honor. B.. . shall represent very good work, of much more than average quality. . shall indicate that the work has been of good average character, better than that which deserves merely to pass. D... shall represent work, the lowest in quality that would enable the student to pursue, without undue lack of material or of method, the next dependent course, whether the latter be in the same department or in a related department. In case the course in question is not used as a prerequisite for others, a standard equivalent to this should be specified. I and F should be employed to indicate incomplete work and failure. I . . . should indicate in- complete work such as may be completed without repetition of the regular work of the course. F ... shall indicate that the regular work of the course must be repeated. An incomplete is not to be given when any other grade can be used, and further, an incomplete shall not be given except when for good reason some part of the work has not been completed. (OVER NOTICE TO INSTRUCTORS Your attention is called to a rule of the University requiring that examinations be held for all students during the last days of the semester. To avoid confusion, the examination schedule and the accompanying regulations should be fol- lowed strictly by all concerned, except that any necessary departure from the regular schedule and regulations may be made only for good reasons and after advance written request by the instructor and approval by the Examinations Committee, Professor James C. Malin, Chairman. Regular classes with laboratory work only will be examined as other classes except that the hour may be any one of the several hours scheduled in the laboratory period, the choice to be made by the instructor after consulting with the students and with other instructors concerned. Irregular appointment classes and appointment laboratory classes will be examined at the time to be set by the instructor after consultation with the students and with any other instructors con- cerned. In ease his option is insufficient to avoid conflicts the instructors concerned will submit in advance for approval by the Examinations Committee a written substitute schedule of examination hours for the conflicting courses. : : In case of mixed courses in which the laboratory work does not come at the same hour as the class work, the examination may be scheduled in either of the following ways: (1) a single exami- nation covering both the class and the laboratory work at the time scheduled for the class hours ; (2) two examinatons, one for the class work at the time scheduled for the class hours, and one for the laboratory work at the time scheduled for the laboratory periods. The School of Law is authorized to make its own examination schedule provided that it take care of all non-law students without causing them conflict with their other examinations. The School of Medicine (this does not include pre-medical courses) is authorized to make its own examination schedule provided that it take care of all non-medical students without causing them conflict with their other examinations. : Entrance Examinations may be taken from January 4 to January 11, 1948, inclusive. Persons wishing to take examinations should arrange with Professor James C. Malin, 225 Frank Strong Hall, on or before January 4, for definite appointments.—DEANE W. MALOTT, Chancellor.. THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS Lawrence Office of January 7, 1943 The Chancellor TO MEMBERS OF THE FACULTY: Far more than you possibly realize, each one of you has both opportunity and responsibility to assist in some of the administrative problems of the Univer- sity. I am writing to call your attention to three such problems. Conservation of Heat We were able after considerable difficulty to renew our gas contract but only with the understanding that we shall be cut off of gas at the discretion of the War Production Board. To meet this contingency, we were finally able to pur- chase a stand-by supply of coal and all the oil our tanks will hold. The situation, however, calls for careful conservation. Will yeu please see that rooms which you occupy are not overheated and that the radiators are cut off whenever possible to do so without discomfort? Many of our buildings are over-radiated, and radiators may be cut of f from time to time, or at night and over the week-end. Conservation of Electricity We do not have sufficient generating capacity to manufacture all our electricity. Last year we spent nearly $17,000 for purchased electric power. This vear it will be more. Fvery time you turn off an unnecessary light, or viece of electrical apparatus, you are actually saving the University money which will then be available for other purposes. You are also thereby specifically aiding the war effort by this conservation. Will you please turn off lights when not needed? There is a particular opportunity to watch the lights when leaving class- rooms and offices. We are also burning lights unnecessarily in hallways. Fire Protection The recent disastrous fire at Baker brings home to us the loss which might come to us if any one of our buildings were to burn. Most of our buildi ngs are fireproof. We are attempting to increase our watchfulness. All buildings have been recently inspected. We shall continue to have them inspected from time to time, and are trying to increase building protection, especially at night. Your own carefulness may prevent a disastrous fire. Watch the apparatus in your care, and be sure your equipment is all in proper order before leaving for the night. Mr. T. C. Ryther at the University Press is the University's war-time conservator. Please notify Mr. Ryther if you note any conditions anywhere in the University which you fecl may constitute a fire hazard. Sincerely yours, ¥ve_QG- Pale Deane W.

Dear Chancellor Malott: We would like your approval en the location of the scoreboard for basketball in Hoch Auditorium. I would be glad, at your senvenience of course, to walk over to the Auditorium with you and show you the place we have tentatively agreed upon.

The plen is to leave them up only for the basketball season, and during the Christmas Vespers to drape then with some sert of cloth or bunting to hide their ugliness for the beauty of the Vespers. _ Mre Firner doesn't want to go ehead and put them up until we get the Chancellor's approval, and as we will have a game on the 15th of December with Creighton Univ- ersity in the Auditorium, it is necessary for Mr. Firner te have a definite o.k. on it. I will appreciate it if your secretary will call and let me know when it will be convenient for you te go to the Auditorium with me.
