Finals extended to 2-week period
Twelve days after Christmas vacation, students will take part in KU's first two-week final examination period.
The extended schedule provides 12 days with 26 three-hour periods for final examinations to be given.
The two-week exam period was the result of a proposal for a "stop week" by an All Student Council committee, said Al Martin, Shawnee Mission senior and last year's student body president. Stop Week would have been one week before finals during which no classes would have met.
The Stop Week proposal was altered to the extended exam period by the Council on Student Affairs because "we knew a stop week wouldn't get past the faculty senate." Martin said.
"If some students still want a stop week," Martin said, "it's up to them to secure it. They shouldn't depend on the faculty or administration."
The philosophy of the two week exam period is based on three ideas, Martin said.
"First, an extended exam period will give students more time to study and review. It will place the emphasis on course material and not on rote memorization. It will also help eliminate the tremendous strain of finals."
The disadvantages of the extended exam period can not be determined until the students have gone through it, Martin said.

"The only disadvantage I can think of now would be to those students who want to get finals over with as fast as possible."
The change from two hours to three hours for final exams to be given was made in order to give teachers more time to make more creative finals, Martin said.
"Anything we get at any level we would consider an accomplishment because two months ago there wasn't even any talk about fee remission or salary raises."

"It will also give students more time to think about their answers, especially on essay exams," Martin added.
"I'm very sorry to say he was not willing to consider putting only people on the University payroll on a fee paying installment basis." Holden said.

Holden said the Chancellor said there was no chance fees could be lowered because the legislature specifically voted to raise all
