Man dies in predawn fire at his home in Lecompton
LECOMPTON — A 38-year-old man died in a predawn fire that destroyed his rural home yesterday, the same day his wife was released from the hospital after she gave birth to their second child.
The man, Robert Crawford, was found near a door leading outside his home, which was "leveled," Douglas County Sheriff Rex Johnson said. Crawford died of smoke inhalation, and his body was burned beyond recognition.
The fire occurred at 5:38 a.m. a mile west and one-half mile north of Lecompton and was fought by fire fighters from the Lecompton and Tecumseh fire departments, the Douglas County Sheriff's department said
The Lawrence Fire department sent a special investigator yesterday to Lecompont to help determine the cause of the fire, the Douglas County Sheriff's department said.
Walk. rally Saturday to honor King

The march, organized by the New Coalition of Conscience, will start at 11 a.m. at City Hall, Sixth and Massachusetts streets, and will end at South Park, according to Angela Wellman, Kansas City, Mo., senior and chairman of the coalition.
The march is being sponsored in cooperation with several other chapters of the New Coalition of Conscience, which have organized marches Saturday in Washington, D.C., and in other large U.S. cities.

Lawrence Mayor David Longhurst will speak at a rally following the march.

Business school turns down higher GPA
By BRUCE F. HONOMICHL Staff Reporter
The first stage of the plan, which took effect last fall, raised the minimum grade point average for admission from 2.0 to 2.2 for incoming students.
Admission to the School of Business will not be as tough this year as the school's assembly originally intended.
The second stage of a plan adopted two years ago would have gradually raised the school's GPA requirement for admission from 2.0 to 2.5 by the beginning of this semester. But the assembly, a group of about 75 students and faculty that decides policy for the school, killed the second stage of the plan last spring.
If the assembly had voted to keep the plan intact, the 2.5 GPA requirement would have gone into effect yesterday for incoming undergraduates.
"We didn't see any reason to deny students with a 2.3 the opportunity to try. There have been a lot of students between a 2.3 and a 2.5 who have blossomed," said David Shulenburger, director of undergraduate studies in the school.
Shulenberger said that the original plan was intended to improve the quality of graduating business students.
"We wanted a 2.5. We thought that the quality of the graduates would be higher if we did that. The assembly apparently changed its mind, or had a change of heart about much stiffer requirements," he said.

The School of Business is one of several schools that have changed requirements for either admission or undergraduate in the past two years.

viously, coursework in computer science or statistics could be substituted for the language requirement. People seeking admission to the School of Journalism in 1984 will have to have a 2.5 GPA overload and a 2.5 in English. To graduate students, they must maintain a 2.5 GPA in Journalism courses.
The Kansas Board of Regents decided in 1891 that all students entering teacher education programs this year must have a 2.5 GPA for both admission and graduation. The ruling superseded the KU School of Education's requirements, which were a 2.3 GPA overall and a 2.5 GPA in major courses.
