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, although a proposal for creating such a board was not approved.
James Carothers, chairman of the University Senate Executive Committee, said he was satisfied with the committee's work.
"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."
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
because an appeals board would take away their exclusive right to change grades.
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.
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 Bailour, KU umbdusman, has told SenEx that in the last 1½ years he had
Friday morning, March 23, 1984
heard only three or four complaints that would need to go before the board described in the proposal.
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 complaints that came about because they did not have adequate response 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."
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."
Caroters said he was puzzled by the close vote because few at the meeting spoke in favor of it.
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 hear 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.

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."
"A lot has been made of the fact that Kansas Senator isn't his home state," Swenson said, "b" it's also accurate that he hasn't lived here f some time.

KU housing options give students variety
By JAN UNDERWOOD and SHARON OXLEY Staff Reporter
I 't's that time of year again
    time for students to scour
Lawrence for the perfect
apartment and the dotted line of a
K1 housing contract.
The University of Kansas offers a variety of housing options, from residence halls to apartments to the semicommunal living found in the scholarship halls. Students will pay from $591 to $4,800 next year for University housing.
MANY STUDENTS OPT to live in apartments near campus rather than in University affiliated housing and live in apartment rentals. Apartments range from about $175 to $500 a month.
The majority of the students who live in University housing stay in the residence halls, which house about 4,700 students. All of the eight residence halls are within walking distance of the campus.
The residence halls offer several special features. For instance, Hashinger Hall, which is designed for students majoring in the creative arts, has a theatre and dance floor. McColum, the largest residence hall, houses students from more than 30 countries. Staff members often arrange programs that feature the music, food, and sharing of different customs.
Ellsworth, McColllum, Hashinger, and Oliver halls are coeducational. Lewis Gartle, Sellars Pearson Hall and Corbin Hall are for women only and
AN ALTERNATIVE to residence halls is the University's scholarship hall system. The eight halls, all on the eastern edge of the campus, each house 50 students. Each resident contributes about five hours a week to cooking and cleaning duties. Scholarship hall residents must maintain a 2.5 grade point average and earn a minimum of 28 credit hours a year.
Joseph R. Pearson Hall and Templin Hall are for men only.
Each scholarship hall has its own piano,television, stereo, laundry room and phone service.
Married students may live at Stouffer Place, which offers one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments from $156 to $176 a month. Utility costs are not included. Stouffer Place also has a waiting list.
Jayhawk Towers are on-campus apartments offered carpeted, two-bedroom apartments accommodating up to four people. Free cable television, paid Wi-Fi and internet are provided. Rents range from $420 to $480 a month. Leases are for 10 months.
Spaces in the scholarships halls for next fall are taken, but the halls keep waiting lists. The application deadline for spring of 1985 will be in late October.
Naismith Hall, a private owned,
on-campus housing complex, is
something between an apartment and a
residence hall. It offers meals on a 10- or
12-person dining room. Its suites
