Associate director promoted to oversee student activities
The University of Kansas named Lisa Pinamonti as the permanent director of Admissions and Scholarships yesterday.
The Pittsburg native was the associate director of the office since 2000 and served as the interim director since April 2002.
"She was chosen based on the strength of her experience and the superb job she's done the last 13 months," said James Carothers, interim associate vice provost. "I'm delighted she was interested and took the job."
The admissions director oversees student recruitment activities,student scholarships,application processing and transfer credit evaluation.
Pinamonti got her master's degree in higher education administration from the University in 1998 and joined the admissions office in 1999 as assistant director of on-campus programming. She was promoted to associate director a year later.
"I am thrilled and honored to be named the next director," Pinamonti said. "I look forward to building on the tradition that has already been established at KU."

Hispanic group sponsors finals week fundraisers
The Hispanic American Leadership Organization will conduct two fundraisers during finals week to support activities for next semester.
On Monday the organization has a fundraiser with Domino's Pizza, 832 Iowa St., which will sell a large one-topping pizza for $6.99 as part of the "Fundraiser Evening Special."
On Tuesday, students can buy wings at Mojo's, 714 Vermont St. The fundraiser special includes a 10 percent discount on dine-in orders and a carry-out special of 50 wings for $18.50.
For both fundraisers, participants should tell the restaurants that they want to buy food supporting HALO, said Juan Garcia, Salina freshman.
Money from the fundraisers will go to support Hispanic Heritage Month activities next semester, including salsa lessons, a parade and various other activities for the campus, Garcia said.

STATE
Proposed bill on hold for Sunday liquor sales
TOPEKA—A proposal to allow Sunday liquor sales in communities where voters approved remained in limbo when the Legislature ended its session yesterday.
A bill would rewrite the state's Liquor Control Act to make it apply uniformly to all cities and counties. The House included a provision to allow Sunday liquor sales, but the Senate narrowly rejected the measure a month ago.
After that vote, Senate Republican leaders resisted raising the issue again, leaving the measure to languish.
Senate President Dave Kerr said some senators would not support any changes that will make alcohol more readily available.
Legislatures approve plan to strengthen pension fund
TOPEKA — Legislators approved a compromise plan early yesterday to issue $500 million in bonds to strengthen the state pension fund for teachers and government workers.
The bill, approved 30-8 by the Senate and 101-16 by the House, sent the bill to Gov. Kathleen Sebelius. The measure was one of the final actions of the 2003 session, which concluded after 85 days, including a seven-day wrapup session.
Under the legislation, the bonds would be paid off with earnings on the investments made by the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System.
Officials say KPERS has enough money to pay pensions in the short term but is collecting too little to cover benefits over the next 40 years. The unfunded liability over that span is projected at $1.5 billion.
