Night finals may be cause for concern
By Kady McMaster Of the Kansan staff
Finals create stress, tension and sleeplessness for many students, but for some, the exams pose another dilemma.
Night finals, given from 7-10 p.m., are especially a problem for some women who must walk home alone after the tests because they finish taking them at different times from their friends.
"Night finals are dangerous," Sharon Adams, Overland Park
senior, said yesterday. "I usually have people wait for me."
Adams said she thought that buses should be provided for students who take night finals.
Mark Bates, Enon, Ohio, graduate student and teaching assistant for Spanish and Portuguese, said his students had voiced some concern about night finals.
"If the weather is bad, and someone finishes at 10 at night, parking and walking is bad," he said.
Dick Tracy, chairman of the University senate calendar committee, said that finals had been scheduled at night for several years but that he had never heard any complaints about them.
"Danger for females might be a legitimate argument," Tracy said. "I've never heard that argument, but I certainly understand it."
Tracy said the University would continue to schedule finals at night.
"If we had to have all finals during the day, it would take forever to finish," he said. "It just wouldn't be practical."
David Dinneen, professor of
French and Italian and coordinator of lower-level French courses, said Wednesday that he had requested French finals be given during the day.
"Exams at night always bothered me," Dinneen said. "I don't think it's proper, and a lot of students complained about it — especially females. The students leave at different times and it's dangerous."
Kurt Easter, Springfield, Mo sophomore, said he had taken finals at night and was not concerned.
