Group tries to change time of opening speech
An ad hoc committee has recommended that Opening Convocation be scheduled for the Sunday before graduation, a University official said yesterday.
Chancellor's talk may be week earlier
The committee recommended that the change be on a trial basis for a few years.
Convocation, traditionally conducted in Hoch Auditorium the first day of classes, is the chancellor's formal introduction of each semester.
change. Scaly said that including convocation in the week of events before the first day of classes would encourage more students and groups to participate.
"I think it is a good idea," Scaly said. "There are some definite advantages in this worthwhile change."
new years:
Jim Scaly, assistant to the chancellor and member of the committee, said the change would add a ceremonial beginning to the new semester if it was during "Hawk Week," the week before classes begin.
Jeff Morris, a student member of the committee, agreed that few students attended convocation.
"The teachers have a real problem (with convocation) because they lose class time," Morris said. He said the committee recommended that convocation be redirected toward incoming freshmen.
Bob Jerry, professor of law and a member of the committee, said it preferred to have the ceremony presided upon rather than after classes had begun.
"Faculty members would prefer not to have classes canceled or shortened to accommodate for the convocation ceremony," Jerry said.
Sany said the recommended change would eliminate the need to cancel 9:30 a.m. classes on the first day of each semester.
Scaly said the format of the ceremony would remain the same with the possible addition of a reception afterward at the Chancellor's Residence. It would be open to students and their families, Scaly said.
Jerry said the committee also recommended announced faculty research awards at the Faculty Convocation, instead of the Opening Convocation.
The recommendations have been forwarded to Chancellor Gene A. Budig, who will make the final decision.

Boy, 3, flies out window lands safely
The officers were appointed by the executive committee of the University of Kansas Memorial Corporation and will take office this summer.
The Associated Press
"Luckily, he took his pillow with him," Bennett said. "Pretty tough little kid."
CRESTLINE, Calif.  A 3-year-old boy who wanted to fly like Superman made a 25-foot plane that entered the window but escaped injury, a fire official said.
The boy had just finished watching "Superman" on television and the other person said Steve Bennett of the Crest Forest Fire Protection District.
The mother said she heard the boy crying and found him outside, dressed in diapers and a T-shirt.
The boy, whose name was withheld, was examined at Mountain Community Hospital in Lake Arrowhead and released, said an employee there who refused to give her name.
"I'm just glad the boy was OK." Bennett said. "Apparently the mother was pretty convinced that the boy was trying to flv."
Crestline is a San Bernardino Mountains community 60 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles.
Correction
It was incorrectly reported in the KU and Lawrence Calendar on Monday that the Public Relations Student Society of America would meet this week. There is no meeting this week.
