CAMERA ON KU
Seniors Brian Dingman, of Leavenworth, left, and Josh Talley, of Topeka, work on the custom differential they built for their made-from-scratch formula race car. The two are part of team whose members sometimes work as much as 70 hours per week on the vehicle, with which they will eventually race against 130 other university teams in the Society of Automotive Engineers competition.
Do you want to see your face in the Kansan? This is your space, so bring photos or negatives of parties, athletic events or just you and your friends hanging out to 111 Stauffer-Flint Hall. Label them "Camera on KU" and include the names of those photographed as well as the event and when it took place. Provide your name and phone number so we can verify the photographs.

Teacher recognized for'tough love'approach
TOPEKA —A former Piper High School biology teacher who resigned rather than change the grades of students she had failed for plagiarism was honored yesterday by the Kansas House of Representatives.
Christine Pelton received a standing ovation after accepting a certificate of recognition from Republican Reps. John Faber of Atwood, Andrew Howell of Fort Scott and John Toplikar of Olathe.
Pelton resigned in December after the Piper Board of Education in Wyandotte County reversed her decision to flunk 28 students on a biology project. She said she suspected plagiarism after discovering nearly identical material in the students' papers.
The resignation cost Pelton her certificate to teach in Kansas because she hadn't completed her first two years in the classroom. She subsequently opened a home day care center.
In brief remarks to the House, Pelton said she has not abandoned her dream of being a teacher.
"I knew what I did that day would have an impact on my future," she said. "Students not only need the building blocks of learning but morals and values."
Howell thanked Pelton for showing her students "tough love."
Topikar added, "Her defense of honesty in the classroom sets an example for all Kansas students."
