Space show exciting but flawed
By DON MUNDAY
Staff Reporter
"Space: The Final Frointer" is probably one of the most overworked phrases in the dozen or so years since Captain James T. Kirk's Starship Enterprise toured the galaxy.
The cliche has been called upon again, this time as the title of an exhibition at the Kansas City Museum.
Marking the 30th anniversary of the R.A. Planetarium, which is next to the Planetarium atrium, the largest airspace exhibition en el Kansas City, Mo. Featuring displays, models and other visual attractions, "Space: The Final Frontier" runs through March and is free to visit.
The exhibition is intended to be a blend of the past, represented by the Apollo moon program displays, and the future, with the space shuttle program as an example.
The focus of the exhibition is definitely on the shuttle, as there are three mockups of
shuttle vehicles, one filling up half a room and showing the cargo bay doors of a shuttle open as they would be for Earth orbit experiments.
CHILDREN WILL probably be fascinated by the models, and exclamations of "Look.
Unfortunately, two rooms are about the extent of the display, except for a model of the Apollo lunar module, one-third the acce- ture on display near the museum's entrance.
Perhaps the most interesting part of the exhibition is a truly not-of-world item, appropriately encased in a transparent box. It can be found by up astronaut Gene Cernan in the lunar

There's something romantic about having a such care albeit almost within one's touch.
highlands during the Apollo 17 mission in December 1972.
such a rare thing almost within one's touch. THE EXHIBITS were provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Rockwell International and the New York corporation no doubt in hopes of rekindling public interest in the space program.
But some of the information panels are outdated. One prohbs that the maiden spaceship can fly is 1979. Three months into 1980, the shuttle has to飞, and NASA is still hoping for a new spacecraft.
The exhibition does serve to note the absence of American astronauts in space during the Apollo mission demonstrated by children peering into a model of the Apollo module command seems to show that there is a generation on earth who might go aloft while going no man has gone before.
Aid eligibility confusion alarms director
BY CINDY WHITCOME
Staff Reporter
A misunderstanding about an appeals clause in proposed financial aid eligibility standards was a cause for alarm for the associate director of financial aid this week.
The associate director, Jeff Weinberg,
said he opposed new academic eligibility
standards because they contained no
provision for appeal.
But Max Sutton, chairman of the University Senate committee and president of a coalition, although committee originally had considered abolishing appeals, it later decided that the committee would not accept them.
"I think Mr. Weinberg thought the initial
discussion about appeals was final, but it wasn't," Sutton said.
At a University Council meeting yesterday, the proposed standards were referred back to the committee for further study.
Weinberg said yesterday that he was relieved to hear that the committee had decided to leave the appeals system as it was.
The proposed standard, which would require students to attain a 2.0 grade point average by their fourth semester, would increase the number of appeals, Weinberg
And Weinberg said he was concerned that students were not informed about the new standards.
The standards we have published in our pamphlets are the only ones student leaders can learn to use. When raised, they should be widely publicized as soon as possible, so students have a chance to use them.
The discussion of the eligibility standards has put the financial aid office in a state of limbo, according to Weinberg.

Changes hamper Law admissions
The school is missing Law School Data Assembly Service reports for about half of their applicants.
The law school is a month behind in graduation because of changes in the process of entrance test reports, according to Lilian Sis. director of admissions for the law school.
"This is true for all law schools across the country," Six said. "We are still in a holding position."
The problem arose this year because the Law School Admissions Service (LAS) took over the job of processing the reports from the Education Testing Service(ETS). ETS now only adhere to the Law School Aptitude Test (LAST)
The LSAS reports are a mathematical calculation based on the students' LSAT scores and transcript.
According to Six, SLAS bought a new computer when it took over from ETS and is having difficulty with the com-puter and getting the reports out on time.
"Everything has turned to mud," Six said. "It is not a good situation."
