Students at the University of Kansas have been either pleased or perplexed in the past when their professors made changes in final examination dates.
But the University administration and the University Senate Calendar Committee have been more displeased than any other groups.
Changes in final exam times must be approved by the Calendar Committee
SENEX WILL discuss the proposal at its meeting tomorrow.
James Carothers, Calendar Committee chairman, said recently that the committee had proposed SenEx adopt a formal procedure for students to file complaints about finals schedule changes.
Carothers said that the committee recognized the students' right to participate in activities.
Dealer denied sign variance
By JENNIFER LISTON Staff Reporter
A Lawrence stereo equipment dealer who says he has found a loophole in the city's sign ordinance might find that loophole closed if city commissioners go ahead with their vow to amend the 1979 ordinance.
The dealer, Jim Foster, owner of River City Radio, 1116 W. 23rd St., said yesterday that he did not want to scrape off the nine-foot-high letters painted on the outside of the windows at his business.
BUT CITY COMMISSIONERS said at the Tuesday night meeting that they did not like the 70-foot-long sign, and they told Foster to take it down.
However, Mike Wildgen, assistant city manager, said he was not sure whether the window signs were right or the building signs which limits the size and number of signs.
At their meeting, commissioners denied a variance for the sign.
Foster said he applied for the variance because the city sent him a letter last month instructing him to work for face a 30-day jail term or a $100 fine.
The sign ordinance allows grocery stores to put up paper signs inside, and
Wilden said the city did not want to prohibit those kinds of temporary signs.
However, the city staff will add to
enhance if necessary to prohibit signs
in that area.
Commissioners complained that the sign was the largest in the city.
"Somebody's got to have the biggest." Foster said.
"It's way, way out of line," he said Tuesday. "It's bigger than a hamburger."
COMMISSIONER BARKLEY Clark did not agree.
At the meeting, Foster charged the commission with being inconsistent in its sign ordinance. He said he saw no difference between signs inside grocery store windows and the sign painted on the outside of his window
He said many people had com-
panions sign during the three months it had been open.
would provide a formal method for filing complaints.
"I believe in sign ordinances," he
said. "I'm not trying to be a rabble-
rouser."
Foster said he was not trying to make trouble for the city.
However, he said he was convinced he was right and would try if necessary to force the commission to let him keep his sign.
Under the proposal, a student objecting to an exam time change could go to the University Ombudsman, who inform him about the change. Carothers said.
the commissioners said they would divide the sign's legality in a week or two.

Balfour said many of the problems with changes occurred because faculty members were not aware of the regulations in the University Code.
Carothers said that after a complaint was received, the ombudsman would send a letter to the faculty member to inform them of the regulations concerning time changes.

It is imperative that the State of Kansas takes an aggressive role in the development of renewable energy sources. This effort, along with stricter conservation practices, can turn us in the direction of fewer demands, reduced risks, less damage, and in the long run it will be far less costly.
The Answer is Renewable Energy Sources.
A Proven Commitment . . .
to the Community and the State
Balfour said he was not certain that it would be beneficial to adopt the principle.

Balfour and the University committee agree that student anonymity is
"It's important to get both sides of it, and you need to be well as how it affects that particular structure."
BALFOUR SAID that when he received a complaint, he talked to the faculty member, who often had a different stary than the student.

"We're working out a procedure, the student isn't penalized," Bailour says.
