KANU to be on and off air while new antenna tested
KANU may be off the air intermittently again today, as engineers continue testing the station's new antenna and existing transmitter. Al
Berman said that he was not sure when the station would cease broadcasting today or when the period of tests would be completed, allowing the station to broadcast at its full power of 110,000 watts, or 11 kilowatts.
The station has been operating at reduced power, 8.3 kilowatts, since December 1982, when dandals destroyed the tower and antenna.
Berman said the station had signed off the air for testing yesterday shortly after 8 a.m. and resumed broadcasting at 2 p.m. Broadcasting was interrupted for another 45 minutes later in the afternoon for more tests, he said.
$1,000 geology scholarship created
KU freshmen in geology and geophysics will be eligible to apply for a scholarship next year. The scholarship was established recently with the assistance of the National Science Foundation.
Scholarship recipients will be chosen on the basis of high school grades, extracurricular activities and scores on college entrance tests.
The L.C. Hay Scholarship in Geology will be given at the beginning of each academic year to an incoming freshman. The $1,000 scholarship will be given annually to a freshman and may be renewed for three additional years.
Lawrence Hay, a KU geology graduate, established a fund in 1974 to support the education of geology students. After his death in 1977, Hay's friends, relatives and KU geology alumni added to the fund to establish the new scholarship.
More information regarding the new scholarship is available from Anthony Walton in the department of geology.

They must also register to be eligible for Student Senate funds
LA mayor to give lecture at K-State
MANHATTAN - Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley, who led the effort in the late 1970s to bring the 1984 Summer Olympics to his city, will lecture at Kansas State University on Monday.
Bradley is expected to discuss preparations for the games, urban affairs and the problems of governing the second largest city in the United States. He is the fourth lecturer in K-State's Landon series so far this year.
Bradley started in the Los Angeles Police Department in 1961 and later earned a law degree. He launched a political career in 1963 with his election to the city council. Bradley was elected mayor in 1973, and he won reelection in 1977 and 1981. His bid for governor of California in 1982 was successful.
Judge bans polygraphs as evidence
WICHITA — A judge yesterday refused to allow lie-detector tests to be used as evidence in the trial of a man accused in the murder of a police officer.
Anthony Ray Martin is accused of first-degree murder and aggravated battery in the death of Paul Garofalo and the wounding of another officer in 1980. Police say Martin supplied the gun and Ivory Haislin nulled the trigger.
Haislip last month was convicted of first-degree murder and aggravated battery of a law-enforcement officer in the shooting. Martin denies he was involved, and his lawyers say two of three lie-detector tests back up his story.
But, citing a 1976 Kansas Supreme Court case, Sedgwick County District Judge Ray Hodge yesterday refused to allow the tests to be used as evidence.
SW Bell unveils new billing method
TOPEKA — A Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. official yesterday unveiled a new billing procedure he said would make it easier for customers to understand what they are being charged for.
Don Murphy, division staff manager for Southwestern Bell, told the Kansas Corporation Commission that if the new bill format was approved it would take about a year before it was ready.
The new bill would be slightly larger than the current bill and would show how much a customer was paying for each service, including American Telephone & Telegraph Co. long-distance service.

City Commission reallocates funds
The Lawrence City Commission giveth, and it taketh away.
And last night, it took from two neighborhood associations and a housing-rehabilitation loan program and gave to a fire-station renovation project and a children's educational program. The commission also allocated money to cover trash cans in East Lawrence.
The changes were reallocations from a list of proposals recommended by the Community Development Block Grant Advisory Board. The board is also responsible for one in advisory board meetings during the past year.
something that is not taken as seriously as it should," she said.
Sue Davis, board chairman, said that she was disappointed about the City Commission's changes to the ordinance.
"We, as a board, put a lot of time and effort into
*Reduced the amount for the East Lawrence neighborhood association's operating expenses from $120,000 to $65,000.
The commission made the following changes in the board's suggestions:
Davis said she thought that the two neighborhood organizations, the East Lawrence Improvement Association and the Oread Neighborhood Association, will allow people more directly than projects such as the firefighters.
- Reduced Oread Neighborhood Association's allocation for operating expenses from $10,068 to $9,000.
- Reduced the proposed $355,320 for housing rehabilitation deferred loans to $300,000 — the equivalent of reducing about three housing rehabilitation projects.
- Increased the $1,800 allocated for trash can covers in East Lawrence to $5,500.
- **Increased an original $70,000 to $100,000 to complete a renovation project for Fire Station No. 1.**
- Increased the board's allocated $5,000 for sidewalk restoration projects in East Lawrence to $10,000.
- Allocated $25,000 for a Children's Hour program, which is an extension of the Head Start program. The program includes one hour of activities.
The commission did not change allocations for three projects, despite recommendations from Commissioner David Longhurst and Mayor Ernest Angino not to finance the programs.
Commissioners decided to allocate $19,220 for a coordinator position for the Council on Community Services, $10,000 for Women's Transitional Care, and $8,325 for Hospice Care in Douglas County.
Davis said that she was not surprised that the City Commission rearranged the budget because commissioners had expressed their ideas about reallocating the funds in a study session with the board last month.
Grade appeals board is nearing final approval
By JENNY BARKER
Staff Reporter
After two years of moving from committee to committee, a proposal for a grade appeals board may finally become a reality.
The proposal will go before KU faculty and administrators and the 65 members of the Student Senate.
If the Senate approves the proposal, it must still be approved by Chancellor Gene A. Budig.
Student support for the proposal appears overwhelming, but faculty opinions are mixed.
1
Bernard Hirsch, associate professor of English, said the University of Kannas didn't need a grade appeals board.
"IVE NOT SEEN anything to convince me that the vast majority, if not all, grade complaints can be handled through methods available now." Hirsch said.
Now students may appeal grades to department chairmen and the deans of the schools in which the classes are offered, and eventually, to the University Judicial Board. But even if those people recommend a grade change, the instructor may refuse to make the change.
But Arno Knapper, a professor of business, said the avenues now available to students for grade appeals were not sufficient.
Under current policy, only an instructor may change a grade, unless he has died, has been incapacitated, or has been found guilty of sexual harassment or academic misconduct.
The proposed grade appeals board would only hear those cases in which professors had failed to adhere to grading standards established at the beginning of the semester.
THE PROPOSAL WOULD create an appeals board of four faculty members and two students who could order a grade change after an instructor had refused to change one.
James Carothers, associate professor of English and chairman of the University Senate Executive Committee, said that that restriction made the proposal difficult to implement. He said complaints with complaints as many faculty members feared.
Hirsch said that he wasn't afraid an appeals board would receive hundreds of complaints but that such a board might later be expanded to hear other types of complaints.
"This proposal is pretty limited. That's not going to do much harm," Hirsch said. "But once that mechanism — a grade appeals board — is in place, the chances for abuse of it become considerable."
HOWEVER, HIRSCH said he thought the Senate would approve the proposal.
"I think it'll probably go through, and I think that is unfortunate. Despite the comments of supporters, I think it does take grading power out of the hands of teachers.
"If it's going to go that far, then I'll just take my parents' over to the appeals board and let them grade them."
Chris Schneider, Kansas City, Kan., freshman, a student member of the committee that drafted an appeals board proposal last year, said, "I think it's something the University needs very much.
