Faculty on panel back grade board
By JENNY BARKER Staff Reporter
James Carothers, chairman of the University Senate Executive Committee, said he was
Faculty members of the University Council yesterday expressed widespread support for a grade boards at the University of Kansas, the University of Arkansas and has in the past drawn fire from instructors.
Fridav morning. March 23, 1984
"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.
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 embudsman, 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 chairmen of the department in which the courses were offered. Even then, the board would hear only complaints that came about because instructions were given to teachers to the additional 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 specific standards that will help us 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
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.

Candidates shun Kansas in conte for White Hou
By KEVIN LOLLAR Staff Reporter
Toto, I have a feeling we're not in anymore.
But neither are the Democratic pres-
 hopefuls, even though Kansas will be
Democratic caucuses tomorrow. The
caucus begins at 12:30 pm in West Jimi
Nashville.
So how come Walter Mondale hasn't be to campaign in the state since December. Probably because he doesn't need Kai win the nomination.
BUT WHAT ABOUT Gary Hart? Hee FROM Kansas, down in Ottawa. Born went to high school there, got caught cheat a chemistry exam there.
So how come he hasn't bothered to can in the state?
Well, he had planned to spend TU morning in Topека, but he canceled out it
COMMENT
Washington, D.C., for a Senate vote on prai public schools.
But that's just one day. How come he d come before?
Can't nail 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.
Rehorm 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."
AND BESIDES, Kansas only has 44 Critic delegates, compared with 171 selected
Maybe Kansas just isn't important Democratic presidential candidates. After the state has always been staunchly Republican, Mr. Bush has never been all that sure since Ali Landon ran for president in 1936.
MIKE Swenson, press secretary for Gov. Joe Carlin, said, "A state like Kansas that has say in a nomination or national election trouble attracting candidates. That's und standable. They're campaigning where people are."
But Hart is a hometown boy made good, favorite son.
"A lot has been made of the fact that Kansas Senator Hart's home state," Swenson said, "it's also accurate that he hasn't lived here f some time.
"We're proud to claim he grew up here, b Colorado can more realistically claim him as favorite son."

The six-man, six-woman Bristol Superior Court jury deliberated for six hours before finding John Cordeiro, 24, and Victor Raposo, 23, guilty of raping a 22-year-old mother of two at Alqawam, in New Bedford, Mass., on March 6, 1983.
FALL RIVER, Mass. - Two men were found guilty yesterday of aggravated rape for attacking a woman on a barroom table pool while onlookers cheered. Two other defendants were not found guilty on all charges.

"The verdicts proved that the criminal justice system can give fair decisions to rape victims," said Darlene Wheeler of the Coalition Against Sexist Violence.
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

Sororities and fraternities keeping expenses down despite the cost of living
By ERIKA BLACKSHER Staff Reporter
members of most KU rater nities and sororites, despite cost increases in many other KU housing options.
The cost of Greek living won't be going up next year for members of most U.S. foster
Monthly fees for room and board at the eight houses contacted range from $210 to $265 a month. Much of the variance in payment depends on size and maintenance of the house.
These elements also influence the social and house fees added on each semester or month. Social fees average about $45 a semester and cover parties, party favors, such as pictures. Some houses charge for these favors separately.
Pledge and initiation fees vary as much as $80. For example, the pledge fee for Sigma Kappa sorority is $60, at Delta Upsilon fraternity it is $140.
Some houses offer apartment annexes as an option. The opportunity is open first to seniors and then to underclassmen.
For example, the Delta Chi fraternity has a "bump policy" that allows seniors
with the highest grades to live in Village Square apartments.
Many of the live-out policies are cheaper than living in the house. Phi Gamma Delta president Tom Bentson said that members who lived out of the house had to pay only $25 a month for parties and occasional meals.
Some houses also offer fee reductions for members who don't want to eat at the house. For example, the monthly fee for a room is $100, and members who don't eat dinner meals
The following fraternities and sororites are representative examples of the crests.
- Delta Upsilon, 1025 Emery Road., $230 a month.
- Delta Chi, 1245 West Campus Road,
$235 a month.
- Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 1301 West Campus Road, $260 a month.
- Phi Gamma Delta, 1540 Louisiana St., $265 a month.
