Students meet with Hayden to tout Margin of Excellence
By VIRGINIA McGRATH
Staff writer
Student leaders from the University of Kansas met with Gov Mike Hayden yesterday to discuss the Margin of Excellence proposal that will be presented to the Kansas Legislature in January.
Jason Krakow, student body president, said, "The main thing we wanted to do was talk to the governor and explain the intelligence from the student perspective.
"We tried to create the sentiment of what's happening on campus, and why now is an important time to do it." He began talking, and he did a lot of listening. "
Attending the meeting were student body presidents from five of the universities governed by the Board of Regents, and the campus directors of
the Associated Students of Kansas. ASK is the lobbying arm of student governments.
The Margin of Excellence is the plan proposed by the Regents to increase financing of state university students 95 percent of their peer universities.
Krakow said that although he would have liked to have had better interaction with the governor at the time, he was a step in the right direction.
"He gave no indication that he would include Margin of Excellence in the budget, but he did give an indication that he was glad we came and that he appreciated hearing the student perspective." Krakow said.
George Ritchie, Wichita State University student body president, said that he meeting the team was a
little too formal, but that it still was helpful.
"I think it accomplished something on a personal basis. It reminded him that there are warm bodies out there who really support this." Ritchie
Martie Aaron, KU's ASK campus director, said that she thought the meeting went well.
Kathy Peterson, Hayden's press secretary, said that no final budget decisions had been made, but that it always was helpful to have representatives, such as those from ASK, present their case.
"It's damaging for a governor to propose a major spending package without base support," Aaron said. "We wanted him to know that support is there."
SenEx seeks faculty opinion
Open admissions survey will be sent to tally their views
By NOEL GERDES Staff writer
KU faculty members will have a chance to give their opinions on selective admissions through a survey approved yesterday by the University Senate Executive Committee.
The survey asks faculty to indicate if they support the proposal for selective admissions suggested by Stanley Kopfik, executive director of the Board of Regents, if they support its proposal but support selective admissions or if they support the current open admissions policy.
Koplik's proposal would require Kansas freshmen to complete a mandatory high school curriculum, score 23 or higher on the ACT
Under the open admissions policy, any graduate of an accredited Kansas high school must be admitted to the University of Kansas.
composite or rank in the top third of their high school class.
The survey will be distributed Friday and must be sent to Sandra Wick, SenEx administrative assistant, by Nov 2. The results will be presented in a formal report of the University Council meeting at 3:30 p.m. Nov 12 in Aldershot Auditorium.
In other action, Judith Ramaley, executive vice chancellor, presented statistics on the effect of the law on students and have on the Lawrence campus.
Ramaley said that about 73 percent of this year's Kansas freshmen would have been admitted under the Regents selective admissions proposal if it had been in effect this fall, according to statistics from the office of admissions.
However, she said that she could not predict the actual effect of selective admissions because
more students might meet selective admissions criteria if the criteria were a requirement for admission.
Ramaley also presented statistics on how ACT composite scores related to attrition rates and whether state high schools could offer students the curriculum that they would under the Rensels proposal.
Ramaley said that she would continue to gather statistics on other aspects of selective admissions. She said that she wanted to have most of her study completed by Nov. 1.
Also, SenEx decided that at next week's meeting that it will consider a proposal to permanently shorten KU's add-drop period.
Mamography can detect breast cancers even smaller than the hand can feel.
Low-dose breast x-ray, mammography, is giving hope that the leading cause of breast cancer is greatly diminished.
We urge women without symptoms of breast cancer, ages 35 to 39, to have one mammogram for the record, women 40 to 49 to have a mammogram every 12 years, and women 50 and over, one a year. Breast examination is also an important step in preparing you to be practiced monthly. Ask your local Cancer Society for free leaflets on both subjects.
