Open admissions debate continues
TOPEKA — Opponents of qualified admissions tried to whittle away at the proposal during a meeting of the House Education Committee yesterday.
By John Collar
Kansan staff writer
The bill would establish minimum admissions standards at Regents institutions. The measure has been proposed in various forms in most of the previous eight legislative sessions but has been defeated each time.
"This bill is an idea whose time has come again, again and again," said State Rep. Ralph Tanner, R-Baldwin City, the current bill's sponsor.
The bill proposes that students applying to a Regents university would be required to attain a minimum grade point average of 2.0, a composite score of at least 23 on the American College Testing program or rank in the top one-third of their high-school class. A provision also would allow the school to admit 10 percent of the freshman class who show promise but do not meet any of the requirements.
The committee heard testimony yesterday from a wide range of voices, even a high school student from Shawnee Heights High School in Topeka who opposed the bill.
David DePue, executive director of the Kansas Council on Vocational Education, said the performance of Kansas' students showed that open admissions was a good policy.

"Qualified admissions is one way, among several, of achieving better preparation of our children," he said.
"Kansas has higher statewide high school graduation requirements than most of our neighbors," DePue said. "Kansas has 91 percent of our
"Until a stronger case is made that qualified admissions really will make a difference in helping students succeed, we do not believe Kansas should risk losing the students who are currently succeeding despite the odds." Tallman said.
college students enrolled at public institutions, the highest percentage of our six neighbors."
Stephen Jordan, executive director of the Board of Regents, supported the bill.
Mark Tallman, a representative for the Kansas Association of School Boards, said that open admissions had resulted in better educated and more productive people.

ON THE RECORD
Mary Soliz, Lawrence, was arrested and charged with driving under the influence at 3 a.m. yesterday in the 2300 block of West 26th Street, KU police reported. Police stopped Soliz because she crossed the center line and had an expired tag. When the officer asked for identification, Soliz gave him a fraudulent driver's license.
It was later discovered that her real license had been suspended, KU police said. Bond was set at $250, and Soliz paid in cash, Lawrence police reported.
A KU student's front windshield was broken on Monday between 4:25 and 5:50 a.m. in lot 105. The damage was valued at $225, KU police said.

Officer falls off roof rescuing teen-age girl
Kansan staff report
A sheriff's deputy is in intensive care after falling from a roof while rescuing a 16-year-old Lawrence girl who was attempting suicide Wednesday night.
Three deputies and one KBI officer responded to a reported suicide attempt in the 900 block of East 1338 Road, said an official from the Douglas County Sheriff's Department.
When the officers arrived, they found the girl sitting near the edge of the roof with a cord wrapped around her neck.
Officer Ron Wilson and another officer climbed onto the roof of the residence and moved the girl away from the edge. But when Wilson
tried to secure his and the girl's position, the victim and Wilson lost their footing and fell from the roof.
The girl landed on Wilson and was not injured. However, Wilson hit his head on a cement sidewalk and suffered a concussion. He was transported to KU Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan., by Life Flight.
Douglas County Sheriff Loren Anderson said that his officers were shocked by the outcome of the incident.
"It was a shock to the individuals that were there because the feeling was we were going to be able to do this without any great side effects," he said. "And then boom, there they were, both on the ground."
