Fraternity animal abuse investigation returns after hiatus
MARSHALL SCHMIDT

After being on hiatus for more than a month, the investigation into Beta Theta Pi's alleged animal cruelty is set to resume with the start of the semester. Police inquiry into the matter has temporarily been on hold because some of the students involved have been out of Lawrence due to winter break.

In December, The Kansas City Star, Lawrence Journal-World, and The Huffington Post reported that a turkey was abused and killed at the fraternity's annual "Turkey Pull" party on the Friday after finals week.
"Those people that were really involved in the majority of it, I don't think we've had any contact with yet," said Trent McKinley, public affairs sergeant for the Lawrence Police Department. "We still would like to talk to anyone that's willing to visit with us about what
McKinley said alcohol was involved in the incident. However, McKinley was uncertain of what kind of animal cruelty charges, if any, would be filed. The charges can range from a misdemeanor to felony offenses. Although no arrests have been made, McKinley said a report would most likely be filed to the district attorney's office within 30 days.
"Just because class starts on Tuesday doesn't mean everyone is going to have time to visit with us first thing Tuesday morning," McKinley said. "This isn't a matter of rounding people up."
University spokesperson Jill Jess said the university expects anyone with information about this incident to cooperate fully.

"Behavior such as that reported is reprehensible and is not what KU would expect from its students," Jess said.

project, it worked with KUnited to ensure that 15 charging stations would be installed by the beginning of the spring 2013 semester. Currently, there are 14 on the Lawrence campus and one on the Edwards campus, and five more stations will be installed at either location during the semester, depending on students' suggestions.

Each charging unit costs about $300, and the project costs a total of $6,000. Anne Madden Johnson, manager for Client Consulting at KU IT, said IT employees look for more ways to provide new services directly to students, and the charging stations are an inexpensive way to get students something they wanted

KU IT is working with student leaders and taking suggestions for improvements for the remaining five stations. Ideas may be posted on its Facebook page at facebook.com/kutechnology.

Board of Regents updates college admission standards
JENNA JAKOWATZ

Prospective students will have to step up academically if they want to be admitted to the University of Kansas.
For the high school classes of 2013 and 2014, these prospective students will have to meet the current admission requirements.
Starting in the fall of 2015 incoming freshmen must meet requirements that the Kansas Board of Regents has set in place for public colleges across the state.
For Kansans, incoming freshmen must complete the Kansas Qualified Admissions (QA) curriculum, have a 2.0 GPA and at least a 21 ACT score, or rank in the top third of their graduating class. Out of state students must have a 2.5 GPA and a 24 on their ACT or rank in the top third of their graduating class.
The University wants to take these requirements a step higher as a part of the Bold Aspirations initiative. For Kansas high school students graduating in 2016 who hope to attend the University, they must complete the QA curriculum with a 2.0

GPA, and have a 3.0 overall GPA and a 24 ACT score or a 3.25 overall GPA and a 21 ACT score.
Lisa Pinamonti, director of admissions at the University, said the whole goal of Bold Aspirations is to assert the University as the established research university it is.
"We are the flagship university, and the academic requirement at KU doesn't measure the admissions," Pinamonti said.
Non-residents must complete the QA curriculum with a 2.5 GPA, and have a 3.0 overall GPA and a 24 ACT score or a 3.25 overall GPA and a 21 ACT score.
The first-year retention rate of freshmen in 2010 was nearly 80 percent, meaning that of the 3,491 students who were freshmen in the fall, only 2,790 came back for their sophomore years — a loss of 701 students.
"We've been working with high school counselors, and the feedback we are getting from counselors and students is that they say it's important we are
"We want to get students excited about not everyone getting in," Pinamonti said. "We're getting the message out to high school students to better prepare for college and know the importance of being prepared."

doing this," Pinamonti said. "But some students are wary about taking four years of high school math."

The acceptance rate in 2010 for KU was 93 percent, and Pinamonti hopes it will remain high.
