Faculty on panel back grade board
Staff Reporter
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 in the past drawn fire from instructors.
James Carothers, chairman of the University Senate Executive Committee, said he was satisfied with the vote.
"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 objects objected
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.
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.

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 ambudsman, has told SenEx that in the last 1½ years he had
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 chairman of the department in which the courses were offered. Even then, the board would hear only complaints that came about because students were unable 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."
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."
Carothers 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, graduate 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.

Rehorm will well have hit on the answer he said. "I'm not going to kid anyone. Ka isn't the hottest state in the nation. I'm not g to impose my ego on him."
Can't fight him for that. He gets paid to State Sen. Tom Rehorn, D-Kansas City, said that Hart had his priorities well in ord that one.

However, the president of a Lawrence apartment-managing company said that landlords and tenants would be involved in legal matters of both parties respected each other and carried out the responsibilities the lease assigned to them.
Andy Galyard, who has been president of Kaw Valley Management Inc. for the past 20 years, said, "It's just a shame that a few bad ones make it bad for everybody — both tenants and landlords."
"A good landlord in Lawrence, RIUMB, or any edible town, realizes the importance of home security."
A student's record of meeting lease obligations could also be important in the future, Galyard said. Prospective em-ployees who are familiar with students they were considering hiring.
who had rented apartments from him.
In addition to roommate problems, the Consumer Affairs Association has also helped students resolve problems of loss of security deposits, landlord fiasco and landlord abuse of the right of access.
Chapman explained the problems students frequently have in those areas:
- Kansas law allows a landlord to collect a security deposit of up to one month's rent for an unfurnished apartment, Chapman said. The landlord can charge up to $1\frac{1}{2}$ month's rent for a furnished apartment and one-half month's rent if the tenant keeps a pet in the apartment.
- Within five days after the tenant moves in, the landlord and tenant should have inspected the apartment together to
