A University of Kansas piano student won first place in piano at the Music Teachers' National Association Collegiate Art Performance Competition. The victory on March 18 in Cincinnati named Amir Khosrowpour, Irvine Calif., junior, as the best college piano player in the nation.
"It's just amazing for me," he said. "I guess I never thought I could do it."
Khosrowpour is deciding what to do with the Steinway piano worth $35,900 that he was awarded.
Chris Neirman, Lincoln, Neb., senior took second in trumpet performance in the same national competition.

Four scholarships to be offered to non-trad undergraduates
A non-traditional leadership scholarship is being offered through the Student Development Center. Four $1000 scholarships will be awarded from the Student Senate funds to four non-traditional undergraduates next semester. Students must be enrolled in minimum of nine hours for fall 2002.
BRIEFS
Laura Morgan, Student Development assistant director, said students must be three years older than traditional classmates, the parent of dependent children, commuting from 10 or more miles away, a married student or a military veteran to meet non-traditional criteria. The student should also have financial need and have made leadership and service contributions on campus or in the community.
Morgan said the committee would give special consideration to students who address or contribute to non-traditional or general student issues at the University of Kansas.
The selection committee is staffed by Student Development Center, the Financial Aid Center, the Department of Student Housing, Veteran Services and the Hilltop Childhood Development Center.
Applications are available at the Student Development Center at 22 Strong Hall or by email at nontrad@ku.edu. The application deadline is Monday, April 15th.

Informal candidate debates rescheduled for 12:30 today
Informal Student Senate candidate debates will take place at 12:30 today at Wescoe Beach.
the debates, scheduled for yesterday, were canceled because of the weather.
Candidates for student body president and vice president will take part in the debates. In addition, a candidate for a Nunemaker seat from each coalition will participate.
Elections commissioner David Mitchell ruled last week that the coalitions could add either a CLAS or Nunemaker candidate to the debates so the Vision coalition could participate in the absence of presidential and vice presidential candidates.
