Faculty on panel back grade board
By JENNY BARKER Staff Reporter
Faculty members of the University Council yesterday expressed widespread support for a grade appeals board at the University of Kansas, which has filed a complaint against the board has in the past drawn fire from instructors.
"I had thought there might be significant faculty opposition, but there certainly doesn't seem to be any on University Council," Carothers said. "It seemed to be getting strong support, but we have colleagues who are very apprehensive."
James Carothers, chairman of the University Senate, Executive Committee, said he was impressed with the work.
CAROTHERS SAID some instructors were worried that many students might unnecessarily appeal grades if students had access to an appeals board, while other instructors objected
The proposal for a grade appeals board now before SenEx would create a board of four faculty members and two students that could order a grade change. Under current policy, only an instructor can change a grade, unless he has died, has been incapacitated, or has been found guilty of sexual harassment or academic misconduct.
because an appeals board would take away their exclusive right to change grades.
He said that because of the favorable response, SenEx would probably send a grade appeals proposal to the Council for consideration at its April 5 meeting. Yesterday, the Council considered only the idea of creating a grade appeals board, not a specific proposal.
SOME FEARS OF THE faculty as to the amount of complaints a grade appeals board would cause are apparently unfounded, Carothers said. William Balfour, KU umbdusman, has told SenEx that in the last 1½ years he had

the proposed appeals board would hear grade complaints only after students had sought grade changes from their course instructors and the chairmen of the department in which the courses were offered. Even then, the board would hear only course instructors who accused authorities allegedly failed to adhere to the grading policy that they established at the beginning of the semester.
Charles Kahn, a professor of architecture and urban design and a Council member, said, "It's a very narrow definition of when an appeal can be issued."
heard only three or four complaints that would need to go before the board described in the proposal.
ALLAN HANSON, a professor of anthropology and a council member, said, "If we don't accept it, we're saying an instructor can lay out very explicit guidelines at the beginning of the semester and then arbitrarily change them when
assigning a grade. It seems to me that to not accept the policy is strange."
Carthers said he was puzzled by the close vote because few at the meeting spoke in favor of him.
The council also voted 16-15 to table a proposal that would allow research at KU to remain classified for longer than the one-year limit set by current KU policy.
"I would be surprised if anyone who favored that change would have voted to table it, but we did not bear often or extensively from them." Carothers said.
He said he doubted that the classified research proposal would be approved this semester.
ED MEYEN, acting KU vice chancellor for research, graduate studies and public service, told Council members that the proposal would not free faculty to begin classified government contracts but would allow them more flexibility to do classified research for private interests.

Candidates shun Kansas in contest for White Hou

Toto, I have a feeling we're not in anymore.
But neither are the Democratic pres hopefuls, even though Kansas will kill Democratic caucuses tomorrow. The caucus begins at 12:30 p.m. in West Juniata School, 2700 Harvard Road.
Now come Walter Mondale hasn't be to campaign in the state since December. Probably because he doesn't need Kari win the nomination.
BUT WHAT ABOUT Gary Hart? Heel FROM Kansas, down in Owntown. Born went to high school there, got caught cheat a chemistry exam there.
Well, he had planned to spend Tu
morning in Topeka, but he canceled out it.
So how come he hasn't bothered to can in the state?

Washington, D.C., for a Senate vote on prp public schools.
But that's just one day. How come he d come before?
Rehman will well have hit on the answer he said, "I'm not going to kid anybody. Ka isn't the hottest state in the nation. I'm not g to impose my ego on him."
I can't fight him for that. He gets paid to State Sen. Tom Rehorn, D-Kansas City, I said that Hart had his priorities well in ord that one.
Mike Swenson, press secretary for Gov. Jo Carlin, said, "A state like Kansas that has I say in a nomination or national election I trouble attracting candidates. That's unstandable. They're campaigning where people are."
AND BENIDES, Kansas only has 44 De-
cantate delegates, compared with only 171 selec-
tionists.
"A lot has been made of the fact that Kansas Senator Hirt's home state," Swenson said, "b it's also accurate that he hasn't lived here f some time.
But Hart is a hometown boy made good, favorite son.
"We're proud to claim he grew up here, b Colorado can more realistically claim him as favorite son."

"The verdicts proved that the criminal justice system can give fair decisions to rape victims," said Darlene Wheeler of the Coalition Against Sexist Violence.
Jose Medeiros, 23, and Virgilio Medeiros, 24, were acquitted. The two are not related.
CORDEIRO AND RAPOSO sobbed as the jury foreman announced the verdicts. Court officers then led them out of the courtroom to an upstairs meeting room to see their families before taking them to the Bristol

Cohn said the idea to start The Touch came to him while he was getting a massage.
"I THOUGHT I felt good," he said.
"You can always have a friend do it, but not for a whole half an hour — and very professionally, too."

During her two years in the pet-sitting business, Roberts said she had kept a pet for as long as $1 \frac{1}{2}$ months during the summer.

During Christmas vacation, Roberts only took care of a couple of pets and made $170, she said.
mara Roberts' customers bring the pet to her house for her to sit, but Cohn's employees go to the customers' homes to give messages. So, except for advertising costs, neither had to take out a loan or invest capital to start their businesses.
