Admissions plan supported in poll

Almost 60 percent of KU faculty members support a selective admissions proposal by Board of Regents executive director Stanley Kooplik, according to a survey released yesterday by the University Senate Executive Committee.
SenEx sent about 1,175 forms to faculty members Oct. 23, asking them whether they supported the proposal on selective admissions with few or minor reservations, whether they supported the concept of selective admissions but did not like Koplik's proposal and whether they supported the current open admissions policy.
Koplik's proposal would require in-state students to complete a recommended high school curriculum with a grade point average of 2.0 or higher, a score 23 or higher on the ACT composite or rank in the top third of their graduating class to be admitted to the University of Kansas.
Under the current policy, any student who graduates from an accredited Kansas high school automatically is admitted to KU.
About 366, or 31 percent, of the forms were returned.

other," Mable said. "If we had them, we swallowed them."
Business is steady enough that Libby can take time off for traveling.
Business has slowed down over the past few decades, but some days are busier than others. On good nights, Libby has served as many as 120 customers. "But the next day I'm bushed."
"I have to get caught up with my youth," she said. "I'm doing now at the age of 70 what I've always wanted to do — finally!"
Libby and her younger sister, Lara, who is her next-door neighbor, left Friday for Tahiti.
"I really wanted to go to the Fiji Islands, but they're having governmental problems," she said. "I wrote an essay when I was seven or nine years old on the Fiji Islands. Can you imagine that? That's mad! Every time I think of that I think 'What a nut I must've been!' Whoever heard of the Fiji Islands?"
Her friends keep teasing her about all of the mishaps that could occur while traveling.
"So Wednesday, I'm spending the whole day changing my will," she said.
While working in the Chicago area at Cook County Hospital, after graduation, Libby met her husband, the late Louis L. Fiorito, a physician. When she was 27, Libby left Chicago to vacation in California.
Ill., a small town west of Chicago. She wanted to attend the University of Wisconsin-Madison because of the home economics program but couldn't afford it. So she commuted every day to Illinois Institute to become a dietician.
"I went to California for three weeks and stayed three months," she said. "See, you kids think you are bad!"
Sandra Wick, SenEx administrative assistant, said the survey might not accurately represent faculty opinion, because those who took time to answer the survey probably had the strongest feelings on the issue.
After her extended stay in California, Libby got a job as a cafeteria worker at the Kansas Union through an employment agency. She worked there for five years. It was at the Union that she met Quinlan, her partner in the Castle Tea Room.
Libby grew up with her brother and sister in Berwyn,

are isolated even though there
are people around you; it's so
big. There can be 100 people
around and you can still be
lonely. But I like the small
town, so I stayed."
Evelyn Swartz, SenEx chairman, said she wasn't surprised that most faculty supported selective admissions in the survey. She said she thought the comments were the most interesting part of the survey.
The University of Kansas has changed a lot since the 1940s, and Libby doesn't like how much it has grown.
"Funding is clearly on people's minds," Swartz said.
She said many faculty members would support selective admissions if they thought the state might change the way it allocated money to KU.
Under the present system, the amount of money KU receives from the state depends on the number of students enrolled. Thus, under the current system, if KU admitted fewer students because of selective admissions, it would receive less money.
Wick said that the survey results would be discussed at the Nov. 12 University Council meeting and that Judith Ramaley, executive vice chancellor, might include the results in a report on selective admissions to the Regents.
The Regents will consider Koplik's proposal at their Nov. 19 meeting.

"All a student has to do is ask for one, and usually it appears pretty quickly," Turvey said. "I can't imagine somebody being here since the beginning of the year without student assistance finding out he needs a space."
Templin has no spaces for disabled students because no students with disabilities live at the hall, Turvey said. Turvey said Parking Services reserved parking spaces for the disabled at a hall only when a student with disabilities lived there. The number of reserved parking spaces would be the same as the number of disabled students living in the hall, he said.
When a disabled student needs a space. Parking Services usually will reserve the space early in the school year. Turvee said.
Survey said that disabled students with state handicapped permits who visited Templin could park in the basement of the hall without receiving tickets.
Petty, who is disabled, said he had received several parking tickets at CU. But, he said, he never had to pay my of the tickets because he successfully appealed them to Parking Services.
He said that since the University had begun installing spaces for disabled students in 1977 no student living at Templin had requested that a disabled space be reserved.
"The spirit of the law is that there be a spot that gives students with disabilities easy access to the building," Turvey said. "As far as I know, he University does have parking for ill students with disabilities."
