Eclipse of moon faint, hard to see
By BRIAN BARESCH Staff writer
One of nature's rare and subtle events happened last night, but most students walked right under it without noticing.
A penumbral eclipse reached its peak at 11:02 p.m. when the earth blocked some of the light reaching the full moon, producing a sort of 5- o'clock shadow across the bottom of the clock's face.
Penumbral eclipses are more frequent than umbral eclipses, but still occur.
An umbral eclipse occurs when part or all of the moon moves into the earth's full shadow, making it look as
if a chunk has been bitten off.
Sometimes the harvest moon, which is usually orange-colored, gets a little redder during a penumbral eclipse, he said. Last night's moon was bright enough that the moon to the autumn equinox — but it was white when the shadow struck
Stephen Shawl, professor of astronomy, said penumbral eclipses were usually difficult to see. "If you didn't know there was going to be an eclipse, you probably wouldn't know it." he said.
By 11 p.m. the shadow was clearly visible, although few pedestrians on Jayhawk Boulevard took notice. When the event began at 8:53 p.m.
the change was nearly invisible.
Angie Giacoma, Chanute junior, and Marilyn Miller, Kansas City, Mo., junior, who were on their way to the library, could hardly see the faint shadow even when it was pointed out

Glacia had never heard of a penumbra. "It's the first time I've
"It's the first time I've not seen it," added Miller.
DeAnna Schierlang, Olathe sophomore, said that she had heard about the eclipse on the radio, but that she saw it in person. "I see it because the shadow was faint."

SenEx will hold debate on faculty union
Staff writer
By NOEL GERDES
People who support and oppose a faculty union will have a chance to debate during a special Faculty Senate meeting early in November.
The University Senate Executive committee voted yesterday to call the
On Nov. 17 and 18, faculty members will vote on whether they want to be represented by the KU chapter of the National Education Association, the KU chapter of the American Association of University Professors or no union at all.
If none of the options receives a majority, the highest two will have a run-off.
A faculty representative of the KU-NEA, KU-AAUP and KU Independent Faculty, a group opposing a faculty union, will each have 15 minutes to speak Questions from the face will follow the presentations.
Sandra Wick, SenEx administrative assistant, said she hoped to schedule the meeting on a Thursday. She said that others who wished to speak against a faculty union during the debate should contact KU Independent Faculty. Marion Bickford professor of geology, is president of the group.
In other action, SenEx approved a recommendation to change the University Senate code to clarify the requirements appointed to the KU parking board.
ly and classified staff serve three- year terms.
The amended code states that faculty and classified staff serve three-year, overlapping terms that begin on Aug. 26 and end on Aug. 15 of the following year. University Senate must approve this change before it would become permanent.
Wick said the change was so the
parking would spare that the parking
board would not.
The red-tape committee met last in 1981. It will discuss ways to cut back on paperwork in areas such as purchasing and inventory.
Now, the code says only that facul.
In closed session, SenEx recommended that four or five new members be appointed to the red-tape committee, Wick said.
Complex gets OK on fresh site plan
By VALOREE ARMSTRONG Staff writer
Commissioners unanimously approved a revised site plan that reflected additional parking constructed without city approval.
But they were careful to include five conditions to eliminate future problems at the development, 1301 W.24th St.
The Lawrence City Commission cleared up its differences with officials of Colony Woods apartments last night but not without prodding them to follow through with previous agreements.
The conditions are:
The site plan must reflect parallel parking along the south end of the property. Colony Woods had intended to have perpendicular parking in that area, but planners told Davis that he didn't leave enough room for emergency vehicles such as fire engines. Mike Wilden, assistant city manager, said the change would eliminate 16-18 parking spaces.
- **Owner Randall Davis** must get a floodplain development permit since spaces added along the east drive are within a flood boundary.
- Landscaping indicated in the original site plan that has yet to be completed must be finished by May 1, 1988
An erosion control mat, which is sod to keep the banks of the Naismith drainage ditch from eroding, must be in place by Nov. 1.
Colony Woods officials must keep the part of the drainage ditch within their property clear of silt and this, too, would help control erosion.
Commissioners did not discuss whether Colony Wools officials had intended to escape city restrictions by adding the lots without approval.
At the Sept. 22 meeting, commissioners requested a chronology of discussion between the city and Colony Woods representatives. Commissioner Dennis Constance said after the meeting that the commission was satisfied that there was not malicious intent to ignore the city.
In other action, the commission:
■ Unanimously approved a request by Oread Entertainment Group to grant a six-month extension on the sale of $3.5 million of industrial revenue bonds for Oread Studios.
Oread Studios is to be a 30,000-square-foot development in the University Corporate Research Park, 15th Street and Wakarua Drive, stage and employing 25-30 full-time and 100 part-time employees.
The six-month extension is needed to take up more investors to buy the bond.
Administrator to get a taste of life on Daisy Hill
By BEN JOHNSTON
Staff writer
To gain insight into the University housing system, a KU administrator will live in Hashinger Hall and attend classes for about two weeks in October.
Linda Beville, assistant to the vice chancellor for student affairs, the office which oversees the housing system at St. Francis College in Hashinger from Oct. 18 to Oct. 30.
"I think it will be an educational experience to see what situations come up on a weekly basis, and how the staff handles those situations." Beville said. "I will get to see what happens on a first-hand basis."
Beville said she wanted to stay in a residence hall because her, iob
She will attend all the housing meetings that are conducted while she lives at the hall and will eat most of her meals there.
required her to work with housing officials to decide whether changes to the residence halls were necessary. The office of student affairs has the housing office to decide whether changes should be made. Beville said.
"If I have a better idea of what the housing staff is doing, it can only benefit all of us as we do our jobs," Beville said.
Ken Stoner, director of student
housing, said Beville would be the first University administrator to live in a residence hall since he became doctor of student housing two years ago.
"An administrator living in the residence halls is kind of a rare circumstance." Stoner said. "Most have family responsibilities."
The guest apartment that Beville will live in is about twice as large as a regular room and has a private bath,
Stoner said. The apartment is usually rented to parents or visiting faculty.
Stoner said the housing office would welcome any administrator who wanted to live in a residence hall.
Beville said she had worked with the housing office on several projects including the installation of new computers in all University residence halls.
