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.
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.
About 366, or 31 percent, of the forms were returned
Kopik'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.
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.
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.
"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.

When a disabled student needs a space. Parking Services usually will preserve the space early in the school year, Turvey 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."
Templin has no spaces for disabled students because no students with isabilities live at the hall, Turvey aid. Turvey said Parking Services reserved parking spaces for the disbled 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, ea said.
He said that since the University ad begun installing spaces for disbled students in 1977 no student ving at Templin had requested that disabled space be reserved.
"The spirit of the law is that there a spot that gives students with sabilities 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 ith state handicapped permits who sited Templin could park in the ading area in front of the hall ithout receiving tickets.
Petty, who is disabled, said he had received several parking tickets at U. But, he said, he never had to pay of the tickets because he successfully appealed them to Parking Services.
