Regents likely to continue open admissions
By PAUL SEVART Staff Reporter
HAYS — Raising admission requirements to limit enrollment in Board of Regents schools would be impractical and fiscally unsound, the Regents executive director said yesterday.
Stanley Koplik, executive director, said at a meeting of the Regents Academic Affairs and Special Programs Committee that many Kansas students in grades 9 through all the courses in the Regents recommended high school basic curriculum.
The most recent estimates, Kopilk said, indicated that less than one-fourth of the freshman class in Regents Hall fall had met the recommendation.
The Legislative Educational Planning Committee, which is studying the question of the state's open admissions policy, is supportive of the Regents suggested curriculum, Koplik said. But the committee will stop short of legislation to change open admissions for the next legislative session.
THE RECOMMENDED curriculum comprises four units of English, three units of natural science, three units of physical sciences and two units of foreign language.
A possible later recommendation, however, might be to allow open admissions only to those students who have completed the Regents recommended high school curriculum. In addition, the Regents' accredited by the state Board of Education is all that is necessary for admission to a Regents school; sometimes, schools do not even see the student's high school transcript.
REGENTS SCHOOLS would be reluctant to turn away students based on their high school transcripts, Koplik said, because the schools' financing is closely tied to the number of students enrolled.
Koplik predicted that the committee, in its final report next month, would recommend no changes in the state's open admissions policy and that it would endorse the Regents recommended high school curriculum. A tentative endorsement was approved by the committee Wednesday.
The Regents committee also heard from Eugene Staples, hospital administrator for the University of Kansas Medical Center, who reported a continued decline in the number of patient days at the Center. That number was 7 per month in 1984 and 6 months of fiscal year 1984 compared with the same period in fiscal year 1983.
DESPITE THAT decline, Staples said, hospital revenues have increased, and the projected income for this fiscal year is $5 million ahead of last year's income.
The Med Center is adjusting somewhat to the decline by curtailting overtime and other salary and wage expenses, he said, which are down almost $800,000 from the same time last fiscal year.
The meeting included a discussion of the difference in general education requirements between the bachelor of arts and bachelor of science degrees at the Regents schools. Sandra McMullen, a hutchinson Regent and chairman of the committee, said the Regents were considering a more comprehensive

A CHART presented by Jerry Bergen of the Regents Office of Academic Affairs indicated that most of the schools had some disparity between general requirements for the BA and BS degrees. The requirements at Fort Hays State University, however, were identical to those in other colleges each in the humanities, natural science and math, and social and behavioral sciences.
study of those requirements in its schools.
Koplik criticized the requirements for not including foreign language for either degree. James Murphy, vice president for academic affairs at Fort Hays State, said that the language requirements were already years ago from the general education requirements, partly because students "did not express much demand for it."
KOPLIK URGED the university to consider reinstating the language requirement, given that the Regents had recommended foreign language study for high school students and that it had traditionally been a principal difference between the BA and BS degrees. Murphy said the school had already begun considering changes in its general education requirements.
The other Regents committees and the full board will meet here today. The Facilities Committee will consider $710,000 in roof repairs and other improvements for University housing, to be paid for by housing fees; the Fiscal Affairs Committee will consider housing fees for Regents schools.

"We ought to be encouraging this movie to be seen by the other player in the nuclear game." Rep. Glickman, D-Kan, said.
WASHINGTON - Secretary of State George Shultz will appear on television immediately after the broadcast of "The Day After," a movie about nuclear war, to present the Reagan administration's position on arms control, sources said yesterday.
Shultz will present President Reagan's plan for arms reduction as a deterrent to nuclear war in the interview Sunday night following broadcast of the ABC-TV film, "Safety First." Although they say underscores the importance of the administration attaches to the film and its repercussions.
White House Communications Director David Gerger said yesterday that a videotape that was shown to some presidential aides was "very emotional and could have a strong effect on people."
