Tighter calendar proposed
a plan to cut country club week in half,
make fall enrollment three days instead of two and tighten up the school calendar has a favorable response from SUVR faculty members, David Ambrose, vice president for student affairs, said yesterday.
He said reaction to his proposal had been
All student organizations need to register their group with the office of student organizations and activities for the 1979-80 school year.
Information may be picked up in 220 Strong Hall or the groups call 864-4861 and have the materials sent to them.

positive from faculty members and department leaders, but he said he might have heard only from those who agreed with him.
Ambler said some students had indicated they would not like the idea.
"Some students have come in and said,
'So you're the one who wants to cut country
club week.'" he said.
Besides cutting country club week, Ambler's proposal would allow three days instead of two for fall semester enrollment, would all one test for final exams instead of the present 9 days, make finals two hours ahead to eliminate the Monday holiday after Easter.
"There are a lot of wasted days in the calendar that are costing us and the students a lot of money," Amber said.
He also said he did not know when his proposal, if accepted, would go into effect.
"This issue will take a great deal of discussion within the University," he said. "It is not a simple issue."
To become official, the schedule change would have to be approved by all KU department heads and Chancellor Architecture H. Regegni was submitted to the Regents for final approval.
Two KU students, Kevin Chambers, Gina Kornberg, and Sarah Dependence, Mo. senior, said the only part of the plan they disagreed with was the proposal to reduce finals to two hours in order to make it easier.
Francis said he found the extra time helpful in going over questions.
He said reducing country club week and making other schedule changes would not affect him.
"Whatever is the best for everyone is fine with me," he said.

Hay fever sufferers sniffling from unusually high pollen count
By ROSEMARY INTFEN
Staff Reporter
An unusually high pollen count has caused a sharp rise in the number of allergies. Dr. Killian reported according to Martin Wollmann, director of health services at Watkins Memorial Hospital.
Although he could not give exact figures, Wollmann said more than 100 students had been treated at the hospital for the allergy within the past two weeks.
"All of the students I have talked to are having a tougher time with symptoms this year because of the collen count," he said.
Wollmann he thought the pollen count this year was higher than usual because it had been an unusually productive year for vegetation.

According to John Martinez, senior fellow in the department of immunology at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan., hay fever affects more than 14 million Americans.
most common of all respiratory allergies because the pollen that caused hay fever was difficult to avoid.
"The ragweed plant is what affects most people and it is pollinating now as a lot of people are suffering." Martinez said.
In addition to weed pollen, tree and
grass pollen also are causes of hay fever he said.
Tree pollen is most prevalent in March and April and grass pollen is abundant in late spring, he said.
Martinez said the irony of hay fever was that the various pollenes that were released into the air were not allergy-causing particles.
IN THEORY, he said, the allergy develops when antibodies are produced to the pollen that the pollinator feeds on. Because the pollen does not cause infection, the antibodies serve no purpose and settle on the cells of the nose, eyelids and eyeballs, causing a runny eye.
"That's where the basic symptoms of a runny nose and watery eyes comes in," Martinez said.
He advised hay fever sufferers to stay away from dogs and cats, which often carry pollen.
Martinez said treatment for hay fever usually involved drug therapy and allergy shots.
