KU students to attend education symposium
By PETE WICKLUND Staff Reporter
Eighteen KU students will be among more than 100 people at a symposium at Wichita State University tomorrow who will weigh the pros and cons of education reforms proposed in a report commissioned by the U.S. Department of Education.
The symposium is being sponsored by the Associated Students of Kansas, the state student lobbying group. The discussions will serve as an information source for members of ASK who will also meet Sunday at Wichita State to discuss lobbying goals for the coming months.
ASK has invited state legislators, members of the Board of Regents, area educators and high school and college students to comment on the draft legislation. A Commission on Excellence in Education's."A Nation at Risk."
CHIRS GRAVES, ASK's legislative director, said that although the report concentrated on issues primarily concerning high school swimming, she sweeped changes that would also affect Kansas college students.
"The report called for some reforms such as in high school graduation requirements, such as in college or military entrance requirements to university
sities," Graves said. "It affected the universities so we saw a responsibility to respond."
Among the people who will participate in panel discussions and informational meetings are state Sen. Billy McCray, D-Wichita, and Sandra L. Mullen of Hutchinson, a Regents member.
Graves said that ASK had received reservations from about 30 high school students from Salina, Hays, Winfield and the Wichita area. Graves said she thought that this conference marked the first time high school students had been invited to participate.
AMONG THE INFORMATION sessions at the symposium will be one concerning drug and alcohol abuse, which Graves said was a concern of many students and educators.

"A lot of students are not worried about how many credits of math they need — they're worried about alcohol and drugs in the school," Graves said.
Chris Edmonds, director-elect of the KU ASK chapter, said he hoped that KU students attending the session would come up with ideas for future lobbying on educational issues.
"I think it's a good opportunity for us to get involved in an area where we haven't been involved before," Edmonds said.
