Grade appeals proposal goes to mail ballot voting
By JENNY BARKER Staff Reporter
A proposal that would create a grade appeals board at the University of Kansas will go to a mail ballot because the University Senate failed to achieve a quorum at a meeting to discuss a proposal yesterday.
property of the Senate, which comprises all KU faculty, administrators and Student Senate members, attended the meeting to discuss the proposal in Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.

James Carothers, chairman of the University Senate Executive Committee, said, "It was a thoughtful discussion. In spite of what I've said about having a quorum, I'm glad we had this meeting.
"If people read it and understand the proposal in the sense that the University Council passed it, then I think it will pass. If they don't understand it, it will go down."
"Don't underestimate the number of people who are opposed to this in principle, whether they've read it or not.
I worry that we have an issue here that is generally understood by University Council
faculty at large.
The grade appeals board outlined in the proposal would strip instructors of their exclusive right to change grades.
Carothers said he had been approached by a colleague who said, "If a grade appealed board wants to change my grades they can grade my papers."
committees and by Council, but maybe not by the faculty at large."
But Don Marquis, an associate professor of philosophy, said, "Why should teachers be kings who can assign grades and then never be subject to review? Giving a grade is regarded as a bastion of absolute monarchy, and that's absurd."
Senate members will receive their ballots before the end of classes, and the ballots will be due at the SenEx office before the end of finals, Carothers said. If the proposal passes, Chancellor Gene A. Budig must approve the proposal before it can go into effect.
The grade appeals board would give students recourse for getting grades changed after an instructor had refused to do so. Now, only an instructor can order a grade change unless he has died, has been incapacitated, or has been found guilty of sexual harassment or academic misconduct.
Old houses fall; apartments rise
Construction will begin next month on an apartment complex to fill the empty lots at 1134 and 1140 Louisiana St. where two houses, both nearly 100 years old, were torn down recently.
By the Kansan Staff
Chuck Ledom, a spokesman for Mark Ledom Construction, 637 E. 22nd Terr., said that although the cleanup of the razed houses had been delayed because of rain, the company's goal was to have the new apartments built and ready for tenants before the fall semester began in August.
Ledom said that the company planned to build one three-story structure that would be landscaped to fit with the other houses in the neighborhood near Gertrude Sellards Pearson and Corbin Hall.
Ledom said that he was not sure how many apartments would be in the building.
Ledom said that the houses, owned by Herman Cohen, were torn down because, "they were in terrible need of something to be done, and the cost to rebuild them would've been astronomical."
Ledom said that most of the tenants vacated the houses a month ago.
The houses were both three stories with basements divided into eight to nine apartments each, he said. "It's very expensive," he said.
