Deadlines approach for commencement
By DeNEEN BROWN Staff Reporter
Marla Gleason, director of University Relations, said yesterday that the first step of commencement began in early March, when graduation packets were sent to about 4,000 students who would be graduating in the 113th commencement on May 19.
The walk down the hill requires no practices or rehearsals, but the weeks leading up to commencement day require that students planning to graduate.
The packet includes cap and gown registration cards, an invitation to a senior breakfast, an invitation to join the University of Kansas Alumni Association and a schedule of events planned for graduating students before the night of commencement.
Gleason said students who had planned to graduate this year but had not received the packets should pick them up at Window 1 of the Office of Student Records in Strong Hall.
THOSE STUDENTS also should check their records to determine the status of their applications for degrees, which is used as a reference in mailing out the packets.
The second step to prepare for graduation will be the ordering of caps, gowns and hoods.
Students should return order forms, which are in the packets, and payments to the Kansas Union business office. Measurements will be taken for cap and gown sizes from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday until April 27 in the business office. After that,
a late penalty of $10 will be charged.
A SENIOR OPEN house is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. April 25 in the parking lot of the Adams Alumni Center. The event consists of music, free soft drinks and beer and a hamburger cookout.
The annual senior breakfast is also a step students can take before commencement. The 1985 class is invited to the breakfast, scheduled for 8 a.m. May 19 in the Kansas Union Ballroom. Seniors should wear their caps and gowns. Reservations for the breakfast must be made in advance and tickets may be purchased at the Alumni Association, 1266 Oread Ave.
The traditional twilight march down Mount Oread, which takes an hour, will begin on Jayhawk Boulevard. Signs will be placed to inform where to assemble, according to their schools or departments.
In case of bad weather, the ceremony will be moved to Allen Field House. Changes in the schedule will be announced through the KU information center and all Lawrence radio station severe weather, the ceremonies will be postponed until May 20.
The procession will begin at 7 p.m. and commence exercises will begin at 8 p.m. in Memorial Stadium.

Suit over center nears settlement
By MIKE GREEN Staff Reporter
The lawsuit filed by a neighborhood association against the St. Lawrence Catholic Center to stop construction of a church is all but officially settled, the neighborhood association's attorney said yesterday.
At Tuesday's meeting, the Lawrence City Commission voted unanimously to approve a revised site plan for the church and a proposed parking lot. The commission also approved on final reading an ordinance prohibiting parking on three streets near the center.
All that remains to make the settlement official is for the parties in the lawsuit to file papers in Douglas County District Court agreeing to drop the case, said John
Nitcher, the attorney for the Crescent-Fenel Neighbhood.
The necessary papers should be filled within 30 days, he said.
"THE THINGS WE wanted done were done," Nitcher said. "The things are on track for a final settlement."
The neighborhood association, led by its president, Bill Barr, had filed the lawsuit against the City Commission last year after the commission approved a site plan for a 392-seat church and a 98-space parking lot. One of the association's main complaints about the project was that it could cause parking problems in the area.
But before the case could get to trial last month, the center and the neighborhood association agreed to a path of that settlement, the City Commission agreed to prohibit parking on Crescent Road west of
Spencer Drive, and on Engel and Westwood roads.
THE COMMISSIONAlso approved a new site plan that contained some minor changes in the arrangement of the building. These changes will have no effect on the number of people who can be seated in the church, said the Rev. Vince Krische, director of the center.
He said the architectural drawing should be completed by late next week. After that is accomplished, he said, the next step would be to take construction bids.
"It would be great if we could break ground before they leave," Kevin said. "We came back in the fall they could see the progress that's been made."
He said he hoped construction could begin in May, before KU students left for the summer.
