By PAULA SOUTHERLAND
Staff Writer
An amended recommendation that will set a time limit for students working on doctorate degrees was passed by the College Assembly yesterday.
The recommendation, proposed by the College Committee on Graduate Studies, was that the department be reinstated.

mission date and time to him.
he compiles his doctoral dissertation.
If the student does not finish his dissertation within the five-year limit, he will be required to take a second comprehensive exam.
Currently, a doctoral candidate has seven years to complete his dissertation and
comprehensive exam. Students may apply for extensions.
Therefore, be said, individual departments should decide whether it is necessary for a student to take a second comprehensive exam.
Students would be set back a year or more if they had to study material for another course.
WORTH ALSO said that if the second exam was made mandatory, the policy would work against its intent, which is to speed the student through the program.
Resignation causes search for new county appraiser
Douglas County commissioners this week will begin the search for a new county appraiser, following the resignation Monday of Darwin Rogers, who held the position since
The resignation will not be effective until March 1, 1978. However, Rogers has agreed to remain beyond that date if a replacement has not been hired by then.
Rogers said yesterday that health problems forced his resignation, but he probably would continue working in some way at the apprasiser's office on a part-time basis.
Pete Whitengt, commission chairman,
said yesterday the commission would compose a notice of the position's opening.
He said the notice would be advertised and also would be sent to those on the list of certified Kansas appraisers.
Whitenight said he expected no difficulty in hiring a qualified person for the position because he said the Lawrence and Douglas County area was an attractive place to live.
"Douglas County being what it is, and
I'm sure I will sure we have many
qualified teachers."
Appraisers are certified by the state after preparing tests and accumulating three years' experience.
A workshop dealing with human sexuality problems will be Friday and Saturday in the afternoon.
He said he expected the position would be filled in a couple of months.
According to Dennis Dauley, associate professor of social welfare, the workshop will help social workers become acquainted with current issues related to problems of human sexuality.

THE TIME LIMIT would help to ensure that the students remain familiar with the latest developments in their field by providing incentive to finish their program within a certain period of time, James of religious studies and philosophy, said.
Whitentight said training of the new appraiser might delay the start of the county's
The workshop, sponsored by the School of Social Welfare, qualifies professional social workers for 14 hours of contact credit for social work licensing. The state of Kansas requires social workers to obtain credit hours to maintain their licenses.
The workshop registration fee is $80 for an individual or $50 a person for groups of five
However, Andrew Debicki, professor of Spanish and Portuguese, said he thought that the recommendation should be made University policy because he could not imagine a field in which a six-year absence would not hurt the student.
reappraisal of real estate for the tax rolls. He said the reappraisal had been tentatively scheduled to begin in January or February next year.
The amendment, which was proposed by George Worth, professor of English, will leave the decision to require a second course in the subject or program in which the student is enrolled.
The reappraisal is expected to take two to four years to complete. All real estate in the county will be inspected and its value based on schedules prepared by the state.
Worth said that the need to keep up on current developments was more applicable than in recent years.
The last county-wide reappraisal was completed in 1965.

How to convince Mom and Dad to buy you a pre-paid Trailways ticket home
Check boxes, clip out, mail to parents.
Dear Mom and Dad,
Things are swell here at college except, of course, the food, which is so bad that I'm □ down to 91 lbs. □ living on salted water □ sending samples to the biology lab □ hoping you'll buy me a prepaid Trailways ticket home to get a decent meal.
I sure could go for some of Mom's good ol' □ apple pie
□ Riz de Veau à la Financière □ blood transfusions □ Trailways tickets paid for at your local station and picked up at mine.
Dad, next time we get together, I want to tell you □ about my part-time job □ how I suddenly realized what a truly wise and magnanimous fellow you are □ where I left your car last New Year's Eve □ thanks for making this trip possible with a prepaid Trailways ticket.
I also need some advice on □ a personal matter □ my backhand □ where one can hire decent servants these days □ how to separate you from a few bucks for a prepaid Trailways ticket.
Got to sign off now and go □ to class □ to pieces
□ drop three or four courses □ to the Trailways station to
see if anyone sent me a prepaid ticket to get out of here for
the weekend.
Love.
P. S., Just go to the Trailways station and pay for my ticket, tell them it's for and where I am. I pick the ticket up here when I go to catch the bus.
