GPA, exam rule passes for students in education
By LISA MASSOTH Staff Reporter
It will take a 2.5 grade point average and a passing grade on a pre-admission exam before students can even consider teaching as a profession as a result of the new rule in 1980. Education at its meeting yesterday.
However, there will be one salvation for students who do not meet the GPA requirement.
A State Board of Education advisory council will consider enacting a probationary period for students wanting to enter the School of Education but who do not have a 2.5 GPA, Joe McFarland, acting executive officer of the Board of Regents, said yesterday.
"I assume the concept would be a period of waiver where a student could enroll in education classes if he doesn't have a 2.5." he said.
DALE P. SCANNELL, dean of the School of Education, said that having some flexibility in the 2.5 GPA made the policy somewhat
more acceptable but that he still did not like it.
"I would rather see the emphasis placed on those (students) granted certificates," he said.
Floyd Grimes, chairman of the State Board of Education, said the board did not want to be absolutely ridiculous with a 2.5 GPA.
"We want to give the schools of education some leeway if a candidate has, say, a 2.2 and makes an application to the school," he said. "If the student does well on the pre- admission test and there are extenuating circumstances, the dean can take this into consideration and look at having the individual on probation for a period of time."
The advisory council will decide how the new requirements could be implemented while still recognizing the 2.5 GPA. Grimes said.
The state board will then adopt the recommendation made by the council. Grimes said the pre-recommendation was validated, and the earliest the new requirements could be implemented would be 1885.
Witnesses testify in murder hearing
By LILLIAN DAVIS Staff Reporter
L. V. Luarks of Topeka was implicated yesterday in the Terry Brown murder case after three witnesses for the state testified at the preliminary hearing in Douglas County District Court.
Brown, 25, of Topeka, was found shot to death Aug 12 on a county road six miles northwest of Lawrence. Charged with manslaughter, Topeka woman, Gwendolyn McNair, 23.
Joyce Elaine Matthews of Lawrence testified that after McNair's arrest, McNair told her Luarks had shot Brown.
Douglas County Coroner Carol Maddrell testified that Brown died of multiple gunshot wounds to the head and had cuts on her face and neck.
ANOTHER WITNESS, Marlin Henderson of Topeka, also testified that the day after the murder McNair told him Lukas had shot Brown.
Henderson also testified that the evening of the murder, he had been at McNair's apartment when she left with his girlfriend. He was carrying her gun under her arm.
Robert Green of Topeka, a friend of Brown, testified that Laurks and McNair had entered a Topeka bar where he and Brown were that evening.
He said the last time he saw Brown was when she left with Luarks and McNair about 6:30 that night.
Earlier in her testimony, Matthews told the court that she had spent the weekend before the murder with McNair and that during this time McNair had accused Brown of being involved in a burglary of McNair's apartment.
“She had pretty strong feelings about Terry knowing something about her merchandise being stolen,” Matthews said. “She had intentions of beating Terry up.”
MCNAIR THEN told Matthews that the problem presented in beating Brown up might be just as easily solved if Terry didn’t tell. "Matthews said."
Matthews also testified that during the weekend she had helped McNair put identifying marks on some bullets that were loaded in a short-barreled 38 caliber gun McNair owned. Matthews said she also overheard a phone call McNair made to Topeka police reporting the gun stolen.
McNair's attorney, David Berkowitz,
questioned this testimony.
Berkowitz asked Matthews why, during an interview with agents from the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, she had not mentioned seeing the gun, marking the bullets or being with her when the gun was reported stolen.
Matthews said she did not remember why she had not reported the incidents.
He then asked Matthews whether she had voluntarily gone to the district attorney's office after the KBI agents told her that McNair was having sexual relations with Luarks and Henderson. Matthews answered yes.
MATTHEWS TESTIFIED that she and McNair were more than good friends and that the news had made her jealous and angry. She said her original statement to the KBI agents was not "I will be jailed for a murder attorney because she was "having a conscience trip about not saying anything."
Henderson was questioned the same way and admitted that the news of McNair's other sexual relations made him angry.
Henderson said he did not tell the KBI agents anything at first because he didn't know who to call.
