Four students are finalists for Truman Scholarship
Four KU students are finalists for a Truman Scholarship.
E. J. Reedy, Topeka junior; Mark Bradshaw, Walnut senior; Christina Harms, Wichita junior; and Holly Krebs, Oskaloaosa senior; are finalists for the scholarship, which is for students planning a career in public service.
Reedy said that being a finalist was an honor and that the scholarship would help him to achieve his goals.
"It would allow me to do what I want to do — pursuing a career in the public service field," he said.
The students will be competing nationally, with at least one person from every state. Eighty-five scholarships are available.
The winners can receive as much as $3,000 for their senior year and $27,000 for three years of graduate study.
The Harry S. Truman Foundation will begin announcing the winners March 24.

Local garage graffiti was gang-related, police say
Graffiti that was spray-painted on several residential buildings north of the University of Kansas between 6 p.m. Tuesday and 11:30 a.m. Wednesday is gang-related, Lawrence
police said.
Police were dispatched at 9:14 p.m. Tuesday to 7.17 Missouri St. in reference to criminal damage. A resident at that address was taking the trash out and found black spray-painted writing on an exterior garage wall, said Lawrence police Sgt. George Wheeler. The damage was estimated at $15.
Residents at 733 Missouri St. discovered similar black writing spray-painted on an outer garage wall, causing $40 damage. Graffiti on a garage at 801 Missouri St. caused $100 damage. One block west, at 729 Arkansas St., black writing on a garage wall caused $40 damage.
Wheeler said that police had no suspects but that the incidents probably were related. He also said the graffiti was gang-related because all the markings were gang symbols.
"Gang members mark their territory that way," he said.

Hemenway supports faculty wage increases
TOPEKA — Chancellor Robert Hemenway told legislators yesterday that the University of Kansas had slipped in national rank because KU faculty salaries were lower than peer institutions.
Hemenway testified to the Senate Ways and Means Subcommittee on Higher Education that he supported Gov. Bill Graves' $216 million budget recommendation for the coming fiscal year because it included an 8.5 percent increase in faculty salaries.
"Our greatest focus is on faculty salaries because that is where we are lagging behind," Hemenway said. "It's affecting our reputation and professors' morale."
Although the budget supports salaries, it includes about $12 million less than the University would like. Hemenway said this left the University feeling the pain of state budget cuts.
As for student tuition pains, Hemenay said his feelings toward recent increases were mixed because a KU education was still affordable.
On Tuesday, Korb Maxwell, student body president, told the subcommittee that higher education was growing unaffordable. Maxwell recommended that some tuition dollars go toward financial aid instead of universities' operating budgets.
Chairman Dave Kerr, R-Hutchinson, asked Hemenway if he supported Maxwell's proposal, because tuition dollars might be the only source of more financial aid.
"My own feeling is that it is not a good idea," Hemenway said. "I am in favor of more financial aid. But if you want to do that, you would simply be inflicting another cut on the University."

"Clearly, some of the students travel in packs," he said. "It's nice to have people that know you well and you know them. But it only works if they're all working hard."
Many students rely on others in their studio for advice on projects and motivation.
T. J. Brennan, St. Louis, junior, said his classmates were a good resource.
"When I finish a project, I can't say I designed the whole thing myself," he said. "I get input from everyone in studio. They tell you things you would never think of. And we laugh and talk and take breaks to play football. It keeps us awake."
Architecture tough on social lives
Continued from page 1A
mama reynolds, Neodesh sophomore, agreed. "We have to have some breaks," she said. "We've been in here since 8 yesterday morning." Lights out?
At midnight, the crowd in 114 has thinned but has not disappeared. The room is equipped with a computer, television, refrigerator, microwave and stereo. It's a self-contained world. Some students will stay all night.
"The students spend more time here than anywhere else," Newton said. "It's like having two apartments."
This all has a serious impact on their social lives. "I don't really think about the workload that much," Walters said. "But sometimes it's hard not to notice when it seems like everyone else in this town is out at the bars and you're in the studio."
Duart Duff, a 1988 KU architecture graduate, is an architectural technician at Hellmuth, Obata and Kassabaum, Inc. in the sports facilities group. He said he remembered the studio as strangely competitive.
"Everyone pushed each other to excel and improve," he said. "No one ever told me, 'you don't spend enough time in studio.' I just knew that if I wasn't there, I was not working hard enough."
But he warned against spending too much time in studio.
By the early morning hours, few remain in Marvin Hall — awake, anyway. But at 8 a.m., all the students will return, or wake up and go to class.
ON THE RECORD
"College is a time to learn about yourself as a person, and you can't do that hunched over a drafting table," he said.
