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 Koopik, 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.

With the blue moon setting in the background, a new fashion wave has eclipsed over the daring clothing styles of the 1980s
Linda Lester, co-owner of The Etc. Shop, 732 Massachusetts St., caters to the 1950s style. In fact, she was selling the 1950s look when she opened the store seven years ago.
The 1950s have returned
bars are "The 1950s is just a good classic look. It never goes out of style." Lester said.
Lester said the main fashions that were making a return appearance this year were baggy pleated pants, cardigan sweaters, hats, suspenders and the ever-popular bow tie.
Lester said that the consumer was turning back to the 1950s because of the relaxing attitude the period projected. In turn, she said, this atmosphere becomes reflected in the styles of clothing from that era.
Jon Amyx, owner of the Downtown Barber Shop, 824 Massachusetts St. , contributes to the rebirth of the nostalgia by giving '50s haircuts.
"The kids see how good it looks

so they buy it. But I don't think it's a trendy thing. I wouldn't in business if it was. It's a trend that will stay." Lester said.
"We cut different versions of flat tops — it’s a novelty. Dad had one, so they think I’ll have one too," Amyx said.

ion design, said the rebirth of the 1950s wasn't as much a trip into nostalgia, as it was just fashion-conscience individuals wanting to be different.
"What the women do goes into what the men do. The 1950s had a sense of innocence. Very feminine and very clean-cut. That femininity is coming back. Women want to be more feminine." Kinney said.
Whether Johnny B. Goode went splishing and a-splashing back to the 1950s because of a desire to go back to innocence, just plain novelty or just plain fashion, remains to be seen. One thing, however, is certain.
Look Your Best For the Holidays
About 125 people wrote additional comments, Wick said. The specific comments were not available yesterday.
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.
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.

"Funding is clearly on people's minds." Swartz said.
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 the selective admissions to the Regents.
The Regents will consider Kopik's proposal at their Nov. 19 meeting.

Templin has no spaces for disabled students because no students with isabilities live at the hall, Turvey aid. Turvey said Parking Services eserved parking spaces for the disabled at a hall only when a student with disabilities lived there. The number of reserved parking spaces could be the same as the number of isabled students living in the hall, e said.
"All a student has to do is ask for me, 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 pace."
He said that since the University ad begun installing spaces for disbled students in 1977 no student ving at Templel had requested that disabled space be reserved.
"The spirit of the law is that there a spot that gives students withabilities easy access to the building." Turvey said. "As far as I know, e University does have parking for i students with disabilities."
Turvey said that disabled students ih state handicapped permits who sit Templin could park in the hall and receive tickets, the hall thou receiving tickets.
