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 Stanleykopik, 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.

He looks 50 if he is a day. But Charles "Buddy" Rogers is 84, and he has been a star in the sky since before most of your parents were born. Born in Olathe in 1904, the former University of Kansas student would go on to become one of America's great silent film stars. He was married to another great, Mary Pickford, for 43 years. He made a "Top Gun"-style film that won a 1928 Academy Award and introduced America to military aviation.
Rogers was in Lawrence recently for the presentation of the first Buddy Award, named in his honor. The award went to Don Johnson, also a KU student at one time and a star on the rise
Q: How long did you stay at KU?
A: Just three years. Paramount Pictures came along through here and made tests. They were looking for 10 boys and 10 girls from all the colleges over the United States. Paramount sent a cameraman and a director and an electrician here to test the boys and girls. I didn't want to try it out. I didn't want to be an actor. Dad wrote me from Olathe about this school I had heard him talking about, the Paramount School of Acting. H
said the theater man in Olathe told him they were looking for 20 boys and girls. So that's how it started. I returned a letter to Dad — 'No, no, Dad, I'm not going to try.' Dad wrote back another letter full of tears. So I did it for him.
Q: Your first movie was also W.C. Fields' first movie.
A. That was during the school.
The director said 'Buddy, you went to the University of Kansas, you wore knickers and argyleys,' and I said, 'Well, of course, that's all we wore.' He said 'Wear them tomorrow at school.' I wore them that day and the next day, and at 10:30 they took me out of the classroom, put me in a limousine and sent me out to Long Island on a golf course. I saw activity and I didn't know — I was pretty young — what the heck was going on. And they took me over and said, 'Buddy, meet Mr. W.C. Fields, this is his picture, you're going to play his son.' I said, 'I'm what?'
It just happened like that. He was funny. That's all I remember of him. A real quiet man.
Q: You made a movie about flying called "Wings".
A: See, the government gave us thousands of airplanes and troops, and they wanted a pic-
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 surprised 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 an elective selectives to the Regents.
The Regents will consider Kopikil's proposal at their Nov. 19 meeting.

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 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.
He said that since the University had begun installing spaces for disabled students in 1977 no student would be left unattended, and 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 Templin could park in the loading area in front of 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.
