Admissions plan supported in poll
By NOEL GERDES Staff writer
Almost 60 percent of KU faculty members support a selective admissions proposal by Board of Regents executive director Stanley Koplik, according to a survey released yesterday by the University Senate Executive Committee.
Staff writer
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.

ture that would stimulate Americanism. When we made this film, we had to go up in the air. Today you sit in a chair with that damn thing going 2,000 miles per hour. Every time you saw me in "Wings." I was up flying that plane. I had to. I had my camera right here, I'd turn it on. And we'd have to wait for clouds. One day we'd shoot a scene with a certain cloud background . . . well, then we'd be to wait until we could get more or less the same background. We'd stand on that line 10, 12 days at a time all ready to go, just looking for clouds, telephoning around the state. 'You have any clouds down there, we'll be down.'
Q: Mary Pickford was your leading lady for quite a few years.
A: Forty-three years we were married. A cute little story I haven't told. Years ago, in our house, Mary Pickford and I, we had a cement driveway that led up to the door, and we were receitement it. Wet cement. And the workers were there, putting it in, and Mary came out the side door with her little dog, Zorro. And little Zorro got away from her and ran through the cement. And he ran all over it out there.
A: Oh yes, yes. I was at the Phi Psi house, and Phog Allen was a Phi Psi. Being a KU alumni out in California, I kept in touch with people who they wanted, and I wrote a letter to Wilt Chamberlain when they wanted him to play out here. So we were able to get him to come to Kansas. And I watched with such pride the way we played basketball when he was here, how we won the championship, and I was also proud when he came out to play for the Lakers. I had never met him until a few years ago. Then at the end of his career, I saw this man at the airport, a big tall man up to here (gesturing over his head). I went up to him and said, "I went to KU with Dr. Naismith and Phog Allen." He looked back down at me and said, 'My God, you are an old one!'*
and she said 'Why, you little dickens, now what are you ... now wait . . . wait a minute. Your footprint will be there forever, and I'll be able to see you forever.' And she went to the phone and called Sid Graumann and said, 'Sid, I have an idea for you to put in front of your theatre.'
Q: Was basketball a big sport back when you were at KU?

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.
About 125 people wrote additional comments, Wick said. The specific comments were not available yesterday.
"Funding is clearly on people's minds," Swartz said.
Evelyn Swartz, SenEx chairman, said she wasn't suprised that most faculty supported selective admissions in the survey. She said she thought the comments were the most interesting part of the survey.
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 of a selective admissions to the Regents.

When a disabled student needs a space, Parking Services usually will reserve the space early in the school year, Turvey said.
"All a student has to do is ask for "all, and usually it appears pretty quickly," Turvey said. "I can't imagine somebody being here since the beginning of the year without student force 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.
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, the University does have parking for all students with disabilities."
Turvey said that disabled students with state handicapped permits who visited Tempel could park in the hall without receiving tickets.
Petty, who is disabled, said he had received several parking tickets at KU. But, he said, he never had to pay any of the tickets because he successfully appealed them to Parking Services.
