Diploma regulations OK'd
TOPEKA (AP)—Attorney General Curt Schneider said yesterday that the Kansas Board of Education rightfully had authority to make sure church-related schools were legitimate, not simply "dipolma mills" from academic and honorary degrees to anyone.
In an opinion stated yesterday Schneider said state law authorized the board to regulate the granting of academic and church-related schools organized after 1972.
That power does not violate the First Amendment of the Constitution, he said. The opinion was requested by Merle Bolton, state commissioner of education.
"IN OUR VIEW, the state has an obvious, keen interest in maintaining the integrity of the academic and honorary degrees awarded by our institution located in the state," Schneider said.
Conard case is continued
TOPEKA (AP)—The case against John Conard, executive officer of the Kansas Board of Regents, was continued a second time in Teuka Municipal Court yesterday.
Conard is charged with driving while intoxicated, leaving the scene of an accident and failure to report an accident as the result of an incident involving his car and another in the south part of Topeka on March 17, court records show.
He was first scheduled to appear in court March 29 but had the case continued until yesterday, when his attorney, Robert E. Gorilla, argued for a second continuance until April 25.
Conard is free on a $500 signature bond. Conard, a former speaker of the Kansas House of Representatives from 1961 to 1971. He is a former weekly newspaper publisher and served as Gov. Robert F. Bennett's legislative liaison until his death in襄樊县 as Executive officer of the Regents.

The state law seeks to maintain that integrity, he said, by subjecting the corporate authority of institutions proposing to award degrees to the scrutiny of the state board.

"Nowhere does this statute seek to regulate the beliefs of any college or
university administrator, faculty member or student; it merely limits the authorized actions of institutions of higher education in accomplishing a valid public purpose, the use of unqualified diploma mills and similar unsubstantial educational institutions," the opinion said.
