Committee disagrees with education report
By ANN LOWRY Staff Reporter
The Student Senate Academic Affairs Committee yesterday reviewed an undergraduate education report that the Commission on the Improvement of Undergraduate Education issued recently, and found many parts unclear.
The report, compiled by seven faculty members, contained letters from faculty and alumni concerning the improvement of undergraduate education. The University of Kansas and Chancellor Gene A. Budig already had adopted the policies in the report and submitted them to the Senate for the students' views.
"The biggest problem is the reception of the student body." Bill McLeeman, assistant chancellor
“There are some parts of it that are extra vague,” Sarah Duckers, chairman of the caucus.
He said students would not understand some parts of the report.
The committee plans to discuss the report with Deanell Tacha, vice chancellor for academic affairs, at its meeting March 9. The committee hopes she would clarify certain points.
Members of the committee said the report contained restrictions that might belong at a higher level than those listed.
"This is the students' first chance to say,Hey, what are you talking about?" "Duckers are talking about."
"If somebody wants to go to Harvard, Berkeley or Yale, they're not going to go to KU," Terri Reicher, Shawnee Mission junior, said.
One of the proposed restrictions the committee objected to was a University class attendance policy that would determine how many absences students would be allowed.
"We're supposed to be big people now. I think it's up to us." Duckers said. "It's my impression it would be better left to the in-depth professors, rather than a University policy."
The committee members also objected to a policy that would limit the maximum number of course hours students could take, because they were less likely to reason for the limitations were not clear.
Speaking of students who take more than 21 hours, Duckers asked, "How large a problem is it?"
The Senate committee had its own recommendations about graduate teaching assistants and their effects on undergraduate education.
"If there is no strict supervision they can teach whatever they want, and I think that bad," Brad Gaubatz, Creve Coeur, Mo., junior, said.
"It's helping teaching assistants learn and it's also good financially, because you couldn't afford to have full professors for everything." Duckers said.
Duckers said having teaching assistants
each undergraduate courses did have some
evidence.
The committee members planned to talk to
tallow students to come up with questions for
them.
After discussing the policies with her, the committee will then make a report or students' views to the Senate before spring break.
SOA gives program on organization
A program designed to help students discover and understand the diverse student organizations at the University of Kansas is a well-known office of student organizations and activities.

He said that SOA had conducted two meetings so far this month, covering an introduction to some of the 160 student organizations and membership roles and rules in them.

Bob Allison, plant superintendent for the Kansas Public Service Co., said that the increase in the cost of gas plus the onset of cold weather produced unpredictably high gas bills.
Electric bliis reflected a 10 percent increase that went into effect Dec. 16 by Kansas Power &
Bob Allison said the cost of gas had increased by approximately 75 percent in the last two years. He said the December increase should cover the gas rates for most of 1982.

For students who are having trouble, both the KRLL and the Kansas Public Service Co. are involved in the project.
"We will be willing to work with anyone who is having problems paying the entire bill." Joe Fickler said.
"It it looks like there's a simple reason, that it's a necessity—then we'll work out a program for it."
Oursils from the KU office of financial aid said they considered utility bills to be a school-related expense that would be an acceptable reason for taking out a short-term loan.
Both the gas and electric companies have sent out all their January bills, and have started with the latest offering.
Fife said that KP&P allowed its customers 28

The gas company bills have a due date two weeks after the bills are sent, with a 2-percent penalty if paid after the two weeks passed. Bob Allison said that customers were given until the next billing date before notice of termination would be sent.
Chapman said that he had had few problems in his experiences with the Lawrence utility companies, and that they normally were hesitant to cut off service to students who went in to talk over the billing problems with the credit department.
'W' drop policy starts tomorrow
Tomorrow is the last day students can drop a class and not have it appear on their transcripts, or they must return to class.
If a course is dropped after tomorrow, either a

course.
Law students may drop a class up until the last day of classes without it appearing on their transcript.
