Old exams available in libraries
Files of old exams, put on reserve by the University of Kansas libraries.
These are open to the public but they cover only a small number of courses. Most instructors inform students when files for their courses are available.
Mary Royer, reserve librarian in Watson library, said yesterday that the sheets we weren't being used much this year. She said the reserve room used to have files for French, Welsh and civilization courses. Now it has English, psychology, history and anthropology files.
"I suppose it's the way courses are set," she said. "Maybe instructors are in charge."
Royer said most of the tests on file were recent, as most instructors revised their tests more frequently.
"Tests more than two years old shouldn't be of much value to anyone," she said. She said she thought there might be some faulty members, who didn't know they
"If you want to put them over here, we're happy to be a depository," she said.
could use the library reserve room for test files.
The Law Library has the most extensive collection of test files. Cindy Triplet, library assistant, said most moderners and computer users had there immediately after the exams. She said there was a great demand for the tests, especially around exam times. She said she thought most students knew about them and heldings was circulated around the school.
Triplett said the Law Library also holds most of the Kansas bar exams as far back as 1970. These are put on reserve by insee. Students are held after review sessions are held each year.
Christine Leonard, School of Business librarian, said about 25 per cent of the business faculty put up exams on her classes. A number of undergraduate classes but there are a few

University Daily Kansan
A page one story in Wednesday's Kansas incorrectly identified the Graduate Student Council as the Graduate School Council.
Correction . . .
A page one story in Tuesday's Kansan incorrectly calls a disc jockey as saying he could earn $115-174 for four hours of work at a bar. It should have read that a disc jockey could earn $120-180 for four hours of work at a bar.
Car on loan taken to Denver
Christopher Weber, Shawnee Mission sophomore, lent his car to three friends Monday for what he thought was a round trip to a local bar. He found out several hours later that his friends and the car ended up in Denver.
Weber today said he lent his car to Tom Dumortier, Kansas City, Mo., freshman; Richard Hubbard, Prairie Village, Missouri; Brad Prewitt, Prairie Village Mission senior, so that the three could go to
qualifying exams for doctorate and master's programs.
Grant hearings will seek out citizens' ideas
A schedule for public hearings on Dougles County's application for a 1976-77 community development grant was approved yesterday by county commissioners.
The application for the Non-Metro Discretionary Grant will be submitted to the Department of Housing and Urban County (federal funds consultant), said.
The purpose of the meetings is to get citizens' ideas about priorities for use of the money within those categories, Coleman said.
The meetings will be 7:30 p.m. April 29 in the Eudora municipal building, 7:30 p.m. April 30 in Baldwin City Hall, 7 m. May 3 in the Lecompton community building and 9 a.m. May 5 in the Douglas County Commission office.
He said categories for the use of the funds, if approved, had already been developed. They include housing rehabilitation, works on neighborhood facilities and the restoration and preservation of historic sites.
Information about the grant and tentative uses of the money also will be presented at the meeting.
a local bar. Weber and another friend joined the group later.
On the way home, however, Weber, riding in a second car, glanced back to see whether the trio was following in his car. They weren't.
When Weber didn't hear from them, he checked with law enforcement agencies to see whether his car had been involved in an accident. Police said it hadn't.
LOVE RECORDS HAS
Later that night, Weber received a call from Dumortier, who said the trio was in Denver and world return Thursday. Weber responded with the trio of the trio, Dumortier didn't come back.
He said he wouldn't press any charges if he was "paid for the wear and tear" on his shoes.

Marna Young, science librarian, has the science library in Malott Hall has files on chemistry, physics and biology tests. She saw few old tests are kept for more than a year or two and some instructors regularly update their files.
Young warned students not to rely too heavily on old exams.

"Old test are sometimes useful," she said, "but they can hurt you too, especially if there's a change in the subject. That is why I recommend for a review to you if you're comprehending the subject."
Weber and the three who took his car all live on the same wing of McColm Hall.
Beef prices probably aren't included in the list of things most KU students write home about every week, but they will often have to do so. They jump upward in the next few weeks.
The reason for the jump, three meat distributors agree, is that retail prices haven't yet risen to compensate for the recent wholesale price increase.
Beef prices to increase in market
"Beef has jumped about $8 per hundred pounds within the last week to 10 days," Tom Pyle, owner of the Eudora Meat Market, said yesterday. He was referring to the wholesale price, which is what grocers pay for their supplies.
Jim Meyer, manager of Rusty's Hillcrest,
said that the cost of beef there was up 12
months.
"The price (wholesale) went up 4 cents in one day last week," he said. "There are supposed to be a lot of cattle on the market, but prices are high."
Soon, the retail customer will feel the increased costs.
Pyle said that retailers to keep prices as low as possible so that the public isn't scared away from buying beef. When a sudden increase in the price of beef comes on, people wait a long time, he said, but people start buying more beef again when the price stabilizes.
"Retail prices are going to catch up, within a week or two, to the wholesale market," Doug Kramer, meat manager of Wavirne's Butcher Block, said.
Before the retail price stabilizes at a lower price, the Meyer said, his store might be losing money.
"I would imagine that the beef we are selling today we're losing money on," he said. He explained that this was because wholesale beef costs more than they were when the meat he is selling now was purchased.
Since December 29, the Kansas Shopper's Guide reported that most of the cuts of beef had dropped in price. Kramer said farmers' beef and their beef until the market price increased.
"It's a wait and see attitude," he said. "Everyone wants to see what the other guy does. Everybody tries to do everybody else one better."
There is a hesitation to be the first store to change beef prices, Kramer said.
That increase has started now, partly because beef is becoming less available from the market.
