Continued from p.
Last month, Koplik amended the proposal to allow students to substitute computer science, arts and music appreciation classes for foreign language.
"From the data we can conclude that there is already a high level of compliance with the proposed admissions criteria, but that there would be a greater impact upon minority students," she said.
A random survey of 410 freshmen who entered KU this fall indicated that 72.7 percent would have been admitted and 21 percent rejected under the proposal. About 6 percent of the freshmen had incomplete records.
Of those students, only 27 percent had taken all the components of the core curriculum, which the Regents now recommend to college-bound students. About 35 percent were short in requirements in only one field,
usually foreign language or natural science.
A separate random survey of 54 black freshmen who entered KU this fall indicated that 34 percent would be seen admitted under Konilik's plan.
Ramaley said Friday that making the core curriculum an admissions requirement would increase the per- student students completing the curriculum.
She also said that school districts that now do not offer some of the required classes would start offering them.
Ramaley said the Regents should consider allowing students who come from small schools that don't offer foreign language and natural science classes to take those classes after they entered college.
Under Kopik's proposal, KU, KState and Wichita State would discontinue all of their remedial or pre-college level classes. Kansas community colleges and the four Regents schools with open admissions still
would offer pre-college level classes for students.
Ramalev said that was a bad idea.
"The assumption that a great deal of money is being wasted by offering these courses to students who should have been prepared in high school simply does not hold up on this campus," she said.
Ramaley's report, along with reports from the six other Regents schools on the effects of selective boarding, will be presented at Regents meeting Nov. 19 in Topeka.
"Our data suggest that some students who complete the Regents curriculum with a grade point average of 2.0 may still require additional help before they can successfully complete college-level work in mathematics and English composition," she said.
The Regents are expected to study the issue over the next two months and reach a consensus before the Legislature convenes in January.

"We have provided other activities for the students throughout the city," Krause said. "We wanted to stress that this was a day of celebration.
"We don't want this day to be destructive, but we want to people to key in on the celebration and stay within the confines of the law."
"There just aren't as many people in the bars or in the streets this
year," Mason said. "We're not at full capacity in here, and I think that's the way it is at a lot of places."
But, Mike Mason, bartender of the The Happening restaurant and bar, said the number of police and the area's inaccessibility had deterred many who wanted to come to have a good time.
Students like Erin Phillips, a KState junior from Bonner Springs, said students had planned other parties because of the extra security.
"It's too funny. There is one civilian to every two police officers," Phillips said.
Bridget Bair, Fairway junior, said that although officers had been nice, she could not help but feel trapped in the district.
"It feels just like a carnival. You remember when you used to go to the carnival with your parents. You were there, but you weren't having much fun." Bair said.
Even street evangelist Jose Rios'
altar appeal was cut short when a highway trooper escorted him out of the perimeters of Aggieville. The trooper told Rios he was inciting the crowd, Rios said.
"I asked about my First Amendment right. And they said that I could not incite the crowd," Rios said. "But they (the crowd) wanted to hear the gospel, they were ready."
Jeff Ehlers, a K-State junior from Caldwell, said there just wasn't much to celebrate after the two teams, which are tied for last in the Big Eight Conference, tied 17-17 in their annual rivalry.
"No one would riot tonight anyway," Ehlers said. "We didn't win and we didn't lose — I guess it really doesn't matter."
