Fifty class grade sheets missing in delaying report card processing

Students returning from Christmas vacation expecting to find their fall grades posted may have discovered they are nowhere to be found.
At least 50 class grade sheets had not been turned into the registration department for report card processing as of Jan. 11, said Howard Saperston, director of registration and records.
Saperston said registration clerks were making last minute calls to professors and departments that had not turned in final grade sheets to get their grades in before the report card processing cycle began Friday.
Professors are supposed to turn in their final grades to the registration department within 72 hours of the final exam, according to standards set by the provost's office.
Since the last day of finals was Dec. 21, the deadline was extended to Dec. 27, said Janet Chaudhuri, assistant provost.
Students enrolled in classes whose instructors had not turned in grade sheets as of Jan. 11 will receive an “MG" in place of the class grade on their report cards.
A process will be initiated as the late grade sheets are submitted to enter the grades into the grading system, Saperston said.
Report cards will not be de-
layed because of the slow response of some professors, but Saperston estimates they will be in the mail in one and a half
weeks.
Some confusion arose when a grader for a professor in the electrical engineering department left the country during vacation with the professor's grade book.
The grader has returned, turned the grades in, and the situation has been rectified, said Jerry Mendel, chairman of the electrical engineering department.
The registration department is “a month ahead of where we

Former student is acquitted in his parents' murders
Russell Glasgal released after second Bay Area trial for bludgeoned deaths

Russell Glasgal, a former university student, was acquitted Thursday by a Sonoma County Superior Court jury of charges of the bludgeoning deaths of his father and mother in their San Mateo home.
Glasgal, 23, was accused of beating his father, Dr. Robert Glasgal, an orthodontist, and his mother, Sondra, an artist, to death with a metal pipe in September 1983.
San Mateo County District Attorney Jim Fox said Glasgal stands to inherit one-third of his parents' estate — valued in excess of $4 million — and suggested the inheritance as a possible motive for the killings.
This was the second trial for Glasgal, a former business and *^f3iblic administration major at the university, who last attended classes here in Spring, 1983.
His first trial, in Redwood City, ended in April 1984 with a deadlocked jury that voted 7-
5	in favor of conviction.
The case was granted a change of venue in August due to extensive publicity in San Mateo County. The retrial was held in Santa Rosa in Sonoma County.
Fox said he did not know why the jury acquitted Glasgal.'
“I thought it was a very
strong case against him," he said.
The Associated Press reported Friday that San Mateo police will not investigate the case any further because they still believe Glasgal is responsible for the murders of his millionaire parents. The San Mateo police spent one year investigating the case.
Glasgal's younger brother, Steven, then 16, found the bodies after the murder in 1983. Steven and his sister, Lauren, testified in Russell's defense in the first trial, according to the AP.
In the retrial, however, Steven and Lauren said they had lied at the first trial out of family loyalty for their older brother. Both have filed a wrongful death suit against Russell.
The AP quoted juror Donna Nelson as saying the prosecution failed to prove its case.
“When I first went in I felt he had done it .... It kind of made me upset that the police didn't do a good job. Two open doors weren't even dusted for fingerprints."
Glasgal moved back home with his parents in spring 1983, after dropping out of the university, an attempted suicide, and a business failure.
The prosecution alleged that Glasgal killed his parents for cutting off his allowance and restricting his use of the family car, the AP reported.

Private sectors to change Wrigley Catalina mansion into bed and breakfast inn
Volume XCVIII, Number 2	University	of
By Susan Ham
Staff Writer
The Wrigley Mansion, a university-owned building on Catalina Island that has had only limited success as a rental facility for conferences and seminars, will be leased to private investors for use as a bed and breakfast inn.
Marlene Me Adam, head of Mt. Ada Inn, Inc. — the investment group that will convert the mansion — said the term of the lease would be 14 years, with an additional extension of 16 years.
The university received many offers to purchase the property before Mt. Ada Inn, Inc. was granted the lease, Me Adam said.
However, under the stipulations set by the conservancy, the university is “not in the position to sell it," said Jon Strauss, senior vice president of administration.
In a Los Angeles Times article on Dec. 24, Strauss said the inn lease will yield at least $50,000 a year, which the university and the conservancy will share according to a formula yet to be determined.
The university will be guaranteed a monthly rental fee from the lease which will go toward the Catalina Marine Science Center, said Patrick Hart-ney, director of the Institute for Marine and Coastal Studies.
Under the new lease, the Wrigley Mansion will be renamed the Mt. Ada Inn.
