Colleges ask for freedom to offer necessary classes
The committee is considering a measure that would allow community colleges to offer courses without the permission of the Regents school officials if the courses are sought by a private business or government agency.
TOPEKA — Community college representatives yesterday urged the Senate Education Committee to endorse a bill that would allow them to continue to offer courses in counties served by Board of Regents schools, even if they do not have the regents school's permission.
"We support these changes in order to avoid confusion and misunderstandings," said Rodney Cox, president of Butler County Community College.

Ted Ayres, general counsel and director of governmental relations for the Regents, said obtaining permission from the Regent institution was required to avoid unnecessary duplication, encourage cooperation and foster efficiency in the delivery of services.
"It means at the end of this semester Butler County will receive no more state aid to support this major Kansas industry," Cox said. "In all likelihood, McConnell Air Force Base will go out of state to replace the Butler program."
"We feel that if we would not have to ask permission it would speed the process and reduce costs," Moon said.

The community college needs permission from Wichita State University officials to offer courses in Sedgwick County. Cox said Butler has been denied permission by Wichita State to continue teaching courses at McConnell.

No action was taken on the bill by the committee.
Questions raised in student's hazing death
The Associated Press
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. — As police questioned two more suspects in the alleged haze of death of a Kappa Alpha Psi pledge yesterday, friends and family of Michael Davis wondered how "brotherhood" could have turned into violence.
"Aren't fraternities supposed to be about brotherhood?" said Kara Rayburn, a Southeast Missouri State student who worked with Davis at the campus library. "I can't imagine one human being wanting to treat another human being this way."
Five fraternity brothers were arraigned yesterday on charges of involuntary manslaughter and hazing in the beating death of Davis earlier this week. Two other men were being questioned.
fraternity initiation in which pledges ran down a line of brothers who hit them with their fists. The rite took place late at night on a campus football field.
Davis, a 25-year-old junior studying journalism, was found unconscious in his apartment Tuesday.
A father of one of the suspects said Davis had endured a
Family members said they tried to persuade Davis to give up the fraternity bid after he showed up at home in St. Louis last weekend with a big scratch across his nose.
"When I asked him why he wanted to pledge this fraternity, he said, 'Ma, when you're pledged, you have to take it.'" said his mother, Edith Davis.
Five members of the fraternity were charged with involuntary manslaughter. One also was charged with one count of tampering with physical evidence for allegedly removing papers and books and clothing from Davis' apartment.
Authorities deny unusual request
The Associated Press
WEST PLAINS, Mo. — Authorities said they were opposed to a convicted sex offender's request to be cased.
"This is something I want to do," Stephen Charles Gray, 30, said. "I look at it as a glorious blessing, a release. Freedom."
Gray was convicted of rape, sodomy, assault, burglary, armed criminal action and other charges in an attack on a 15-year-old girl and her mother in their home in September 1992. He is to be sentenced March 8.
Gray said he was sure he would rape again unless he was rendered physically incapable of doing so.
Mary Still, a spokeswoman for the Missouri attorney general, said there was no state law that would authorize the judge to impose such a sentence.
The mother who was attacked said she wanted Gray to go to prison for the rest of his life.
Gray insists he is serious.
"But we're realistic enough to know that we'll be lucky if that happens," she said. "And we know we're lucky to be alive."
"The doctors tell me that I have to deal with these fantasies in my head," he said. "I said that was my point. I want to take away that choice in my head. I don't want that choice."
