Kansas GOP Proposes 73.5 Million Highway Plan
Republican members of Kansas interim Transportation Committee tentatively approve a 73.5 million plan to boost highway revenue by applying a 3 percent sales tax to motor fuels, trimming the gallonage tax by 1 cent, raising vehicle fees, and shifting Highway Patrol financing. The proposal would split gains 65 to state and 35 to local governments, with Gov. Carlin's plan favored by Democrats but opposed by Republicans. The measure awaits further review at the next meeting.

Regents Okay Teaching Policies in Kansas Education
The Kansas Board of Regents unanimously approved a policy requiring a minimum 2.5 GPA and a basic skills test for entering teacher education programs. The rule, effective no earlier than the 1983 school year, allows probationary admission with less than a C plus in extenuating circumstances and may support future teaching internship programs and certification testing.
