Admissions proposal to face public hearings
By Joel Zeff

Open public hearings on a proposal for qualified admissions at Board of Regents universities could start next week, the chairman of the House Education Committee said yesterday.
State Rep. Denise Apt, R-Iola, said the proposal could face a committee vote within two weeks. She said people wanting to testify at the hearings should contact her office in
Toneka.
The admissions bill will take effect July 1, 1992, and would require high school students to complete a college preparatory curriculum before entering a Regents university.
A suggested preparatory curriculum, recommended by the Regents, would include four years of English, three years each of math, science and social studies and two years of a foreign language.
Under the proposed bill, the foreign
language requirement would not go into effect until July 1, 1994.
Judith Ramaley, University of Kansas executive vice chancellor, would not comment on the University's stand on the proposal until she had time to study the plan.
Apt said, "This bill would produce a lower rate of flunk-outs in college freshman courses. We would spend less on remedial courses because the kids would be better educated."
The Regents proposed qualified
admissions plan includes a college preparatory curriculum, but students also would be admitted if they scored a 23 or higher on the ACT or graduated in the top third of their high school class. All Kansas high school graduates can now enter any state university.
"This is the only step I want to take toward qualified admissions. I want students to be prepared for college," Apt said.
Apt, who was on the Iola school
board for 13 years, predicted that the main opposition would come from rural school boards that said they couldn't furnish the courses needed.
State Rep. Don Crumbaker, R-Brewster and vice chairman of the House Education Committee, is opposed to the bill because it is a restriction on the children of Kansas taxpayers who support the state universities.
"You can graduate from college without having foreign language. So
why require foreign language to get in? There are so many bugs in the thing, and that's a problem," Crumbaker said.
Mark Tallman, legislative director for Associated Students of Kansas, said his organization accepted the proposed bill.
"We favor raising standards for open admissions. This proposal does not fundamentally change open admissions. It just modifies it," Tallman said.

The Jesus of the Bible healed the sick, raised the dead and made blind eyes see. He told the men who followed him to go and do the same, and He would be there with His power to heal. Jesus did it in His day and He is still doing it today. Come and witness the "Journey of Miracles" ministry of Rusty Russell and allow the same Jesus to touch your life.
