Qualified admissions sponsor to try again
By Jill less
Kansan staff writer
Although a qualified admissions bill died in the state House of Representatives this session, the sponsor of the bill says she will bring it up in future sessions.
"I ifam re-elected, yes, I will bring it up again," said State Rep. Denise Apt, R-Iola, chairman of the House Education Committee and sponsor of the qualified admissions bill of this session.
Qualified admissions would require students to take more stringent liberal arts curriculums in Kansas high schools in order to gain admission to Board of Regents schools.
Apt said that members of the Legislature would have to be educated on what the bill would actually do. She said there was a lot of confusion in the House as to the significance of qualified admissions.
State Rep. Jessie Branson, D-Lawrence, a member of the House Education Committee, said that she would not be surprised to see the qualified admissions bill again next session because of the strong feelings about the bill by its supporters.
However, Apt said that research on things such as dropout rates and costs for remedial classes would be more costly if bill was brought up in future sessions.
She said that one of the problems this session was that the legislators did not have enough data that proved a qualified admissions plan would help costs.
Although she does not plan to bring the bill up again this session, Apt said she was happy that it got as far as it did.
"It certainly wasn't a new issue." Apt said. "But it was the first time that qualified admissions was debated in the full House."

By a Kansan reporter
Police arrested a 32-year-old man Tuesday in connection with a shooting that occurred in east Lawrence April 6.
Rhodes, who was arrested at his home by Lawrence police officers, was charged in connection with the shooting of Derrick W. Overly, 1600 Haskell Ave.
Johnny M. Rhodes, 1112 E. 27th St., was being held in Douglas County Jail yesterday in lieu of $20,000 bond on a charge of aggra-
vated battery.
Overly was shot in the upper right thigh, groin and right hand outside an apartment at Edgewood Homes, 1606 Haskell Avenue. After the shooting, police searched the area surrounding the apartments for the gunman, who witnesses said left the scene on foot.
