Students can complain if finals fall unfairlv
Students who think their professors are unfairly scheduling finals, or have several exams on one day, should complain to the chairman or dean of the department or school where the exam is given, the executive vice chancellor said yesterday.
Robert Cobb, executive vice chancellor, this week sent to faculty and staff members reminders of regulations for giving final exams.
"The rules are to ensure avoiding as far as humanly possible in-conveniencing the students either by conflicts or having them so exhausted from previous exam that it perform will on finals," he said.
The regulations require that final examinations be given at regularly scheduled times. No final can be given during the last week of classes.
A professor cannot give a class an exam during that week unless he also schedules a comprehensive final examination.
Also, professors are prohibited from posting grades by names or student identification number.
This is to ensure that a professor does not give a final during that week and call it a last unit exam, Cobb said.
Cobb made several suggestions for posting grades, including having students sign a waiver form to allow them to post the grades by student number.
Also, Cobb said, a professor could number individual examinations and post scores according to those numbers.
Another suggestion was that students provide stamped, self-addressed envelopes so the students can be given the exam grades to the students' homes.

Budig
BUDIG SAID KU also was more able to attract and serve handicapped students. In 1978, the student assistance center provided service to 15 handicapped students. In 1982, 135 students received assistance there.
Budig will outline other improvements in his State of the University Address to be given at the All-University Supper the night before commencement, May 15. He will emphasize that KU was selected one of the top 29 universities in the country, a four-star university, by the New York Times Selective Guide to Colleges, 1982-83.
In his statement, Budig says that KU is no longer a pioneer in the honors field but will try to regain that status. Using the University Scholars program, which was established this year at KU, as a national model will help, Budig said. The program recognizes 20 outstanding bobmohomes a semester.
In addition, there are 45 distinguished
professors at KU, and three new professorships to be funded by the Endowment Association.
DESPITE MIXED feelings about the Legislature, Bush is optimistic about KU's future. He says that although the worsening economy is spreading to Kansas, the Legislature has tried to work for higher education, and has come through with money for Haworth Hall and Moore Hall additions.
He said that there were dew universities that received as much from their states ad KU did from Kansas.
Private funds are helping to build up the University through scholarships from the National Endowment Association, Budig said, and through the new alumni center, which he stressed would also be used as a faculty club. The alumni center is financed by the Alumni Association.
Ground also will be broken on a $3.5 million communications building.
Classified
Hayden said that if some state officials received sizeable raises, classified employees should get equal treatment. He referred to the $54,000 salary of the executive officer of the Kansas Board of Regents.

"All we ask for is a little consistency," he said. "If we're going to pay this man $4,000, we ought to think of playing the people in rank and file more."
LADY SAID Wednesday that it wouldn't be fair to give University classified employees a salary increase in return for the faculty's salary increase of 7.5 percent.
KU Classified Senate leaders have said that classified salaries were too low compared to those of the faculty. They said a direct comparison of classified salary increases to faculty increases was not accurate.
This is because classified employees are guaranteed only a cost of living
increase. The merit increase allocated by the Legislature is only an average figure, since classified employees receive merit increases based on staff evaluations and their level in a complicated pay plan.
Each University department uses its own method of determining merit in admission.
The conference committee last night also completed work on the omnibus appropriations bill, which includes a proposal that the future has approved but not yet financed.
The bill includes $50,000 for Kansas applied remote sensing programs based at KU's space technology center and $150,855 for the bureau of child research. The programs needed to cut costs in federal grant next year.
THE UNIVERSITY of Kansas Medical Center also received an additional $252,17 to supplement nurses' salaries, equal to a 5 percent increase.
