Art history major picked as Marshall scholar
Roger Ward is one of the 30 graduating college seniors in the United States selected to receive the British Government Marshall Scholarship.
Ward, Richardson, Tex., said yesterday he would use the scholarship to study for his master's degree at the Courtland Institute and to attend art history at the University of London.
"The Courtlaud is well respected as one of the best institutions for the study of art history", Chu-Tsing Ll, art history chairman at the University of Kansas, said.
The Marshall Scholarship was established for American students by the British government in 1933 as an expression of gratitude for American aid during World War II.
Ward said the scholarship was offered to both men and women for study in the field of public health.
"THIS MAKES IT probably the broadest competition for graduate studies in Europe." Ward said.
Li said the scholarship was comparable in prestige to the Rhodes Scholarship.
Ward said he was first interviewed last September by a committee of eight KU faculty members. Their questions dealt with broad topics relating to art history, rather than specific facts and detailed information, he said.
Following his interview at KU, Ward said, his application was submitted to the British Consultate in Chicago. He was one of 25 to 30 who were selected west for an interview in Chicago.
Ward received official notification in March from the British Ambassador in Washington, D.C., that he had been chosen to receive the scholarship.
FIVE RECIPIENTS from each of six
regions were selected on the basis of a commitment, a written application and internet access.
Li said the selection process was "highly competitive."
Only two other KU graduates have ever been awarded the Marshall scholarship.
Ward said he would be the first Marshall scholar ever to study at the Courtauld Institute of Art, known for its emphasis in European art study.
"Except for Italy itself, London is a place to study Italian painting," he said.

hard-century European art will be Italian
WARD SAID the scholarship would include two years' full tuition and book fees, transportation to and from England, a graduate course in stipend for European travel and research.

Graduate student honored for microbiology paper
For the sixth consecutive year, a University of Kansas student has won the Graduate Student Award for Best Research Paper at the annual meeting of the Missouri Valley branch of the American Society for Microbiology.
Boerma gave a 15-minute presentation of his paper. "Nationwide Notification of NDV Messenger Network" was given.
The award was given to David Boergrasm,
a graduate student, at the meeting March 10.
The award consisted of a $25 cash prize, a plaque and another plaque which was presented to the department of microbiology.
NDV, Newcastle disease virus, is a member of the paramyxo viruses. It's
known for its potential to destroy huge flocks of chickens.
In man, the virus causes mumps, measles, respiratory infections and subacute sclerosis pain encephalitis. It may cause it, but it may also cause multiple sclerosis.
The NDV research is conducted in the lab of Henry Stone, assistant professor of microbiology. He said the research was being done to find a possible cure for can-

The past three KU award winners also conducted their research in Stone's field.
"I felt very flattered and was very surprised," Jesse said. "That's the sort of thing that makes an instructor's semester. It comes from your own students really counts."
JESKE IS currently preparing KU's first correspondence course in religious studies for the University of Kansas Division of Continuing Education.
Jeeanne Stump has been nominated several times for the HOPE Award and was named to the Kansas Women's Hall of Fame for her commission on the Status of Women in 1972.
Stump received the 1969 Standard Oil of Indiana Teaching Award.
Flora Wyatt was a finalist for the HOPE Award in 1971 and 1973, and was the winner of the H. Bernerd Fink Award for outstanding classroom teaching in 1971. She was named the Outstanding Female Teacher in 1974 by the Commission on the Women of America who chose nationally in 1972 as an Outstanding Educator of America.
Wyatt said she was grateful for the award.
