Five recognized for social work
By Casey Franklin
Special to the Kansan
Five social work students received Margo Awards Friday during a ceremony at the Kansas Union Ballroom. The awards recognized the students' performances during practicums.
The students were Tracie Lansing, Leavenworth senior; Jennifer Richer, Albuquerque, N.M., graduate student; Amber Rossman, Tulsa, Okla., graduate student; Renee Ingram, Hope graduate student; and Erika Nilles-Plumlee, Manhattan, Kan., graduate student.
Practicums are internships in which social work students work in agencies for their academic curriculum.
Lansing worked at The Farm, a foster and adoption service; Richer worked at the community service office of the Menninger Clinic in Topeka; Nilles-Plumle developed a program for working with juvenile offenders at the Riley County Correctional Facility; Ingram served at a school district in Ottawa County; and Rossman worked at the Kansas City Free Health Clinic helping HIV and AIDS patients.
Several of the winners developed new programs at their practicums to improve services for clients, said Jan Jess, assistant director of the field practicum office.
"It could be anything from working with children or the elderly to working in substance abuse programs." Jess said.
Practicum field instructors submitted letters of praise to the School of Social Welfare recommending students for the award. Faculty then narrowed down the field to one undergraduate and four graduate students.
K. Jean Peterson, director of the field practicum office, said it was difficult to choose the winners.
"We have excellent students doing excellent work," said Peterson. "So we look for students who really go above and beyond what is expected of them."
Peterson said that Rossman was being recognized for her nonjudgmental, empowering and educational work.
Peterson read a letter from a fourth grader who recommended Ingram for the award.
"She helps me solve my problems when I need the help," Peterson read. "People trust her and know that she will help us and keep our secrets safe."
The awards are named after Professor Emerita Margo Gordon, a former director of the practicum program.
"It was very nice," she said.
"After all, I worked for excellence in practicum work for years. That was always my goal."
Gordon said she was honored when the awards were named after her years ago.
The ceremony was part of Social Work Day, a social work alumni gathering at the Kansas Union.

U.S. lawmakers vow to return Elian
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The government will do what is necessary to quickly reunitie Elian Gonzalez with his father, a top Justice Department official said yesterday. Meanwhile, lawyers for the boy's Miami relatives warned that the family couldn't control protesters if they stood in the way.
Attorney General Janet Reno refused to discuss the use of force as a last resort except to say such plans had not been presented to her formally.
"I hope with all my heart that the rule of law prevails, and I expect that it will," she said.
"We don't expect anything like that to happen," he said. "We will
Eric Holder, the deputy attorney general, said that officials wanted a peaceful transfer this week but that they would consider taking Elian from unwilling hands if it was required.
do what is necessary to reunite father and son, however."
In Miami, the relatives fighting to keep the Cuban boy in the United States would not offer a firm commitment to meet today with the three psychiatric experts appointed by the government to smooth the boy's return to his father.
Lazaro Gonzalez, Elian's great-uncle and regular guardian, asked in a letter to Reno that the meeting be scheduled on a tentative basis because his daughter was hospitalized and the family wanted her to be part of the discussion.
Outside Washington, such a vigil
became noisy and tense yesterday
Hundreds of supporters gathered outside the family's Miami home at times during the weekend, keeping up a peaceful vigil that officials fear could turn confrontational if an agreement is not reached on returning Elian away from that scene.
in the Bethesda, Md., neighborhood where Elian's father, Juan Miguel Gonzalez, is staying at the home of a Cuban diplomat.
Justice officials, family lawyers and politicians from Washington and Havana filled yesterday's talk shows, demonstrating the preoccupation of two nations with a 6-year-old boy rescued at sea four months ago but left adrift in a wrenching international and family struggle.
In Washington, Juan Miguel Gonzalez personally thanked the two Florida fishermen who pulled the boy from the waters off Fort Lauderdale on Thanksgiving Day after his mother, fleeing Cuba, drowned.
Reno voiced an increasing sense of urgency yesterday in settling Elian's fate.
"Each day that goes by only hurts him, and I think we must get it resolved as soon as possible," she said.
