CAMPUS
School of Journalism creates new fellowship
The School of Journalism will have a new graduate fellowship after a family bequeathed it $250,000.
The family of Whitley Austin, former editor and publisher of the Salina Journal, donated the money to the University to establish the Whitley and Mary Frances Austin Graduate Fellowship.
Whitey's son, Danforth Austin, his wife, Mary Frances Austin, and his daughter, Catherine Austin Roberts, supplied the donation.
Jen Humphrey, development editor for KU Endowment, said the donation would benefit the University.
"Graduate fellowships are among our goals for the KU First campaign," Humphrey said.
The money will likely be used to aid in the recruitment of graduate students who can improve the school in roles such as teaching, aiding a faculty member in research or managing a computer lab, James Gentry, dean of journalism said.

LAWRENCE
One woman and four men, all from Emporia, were arrested and charged yesterday afternoon in the beating of Josh Greemore of Mayetta.
Five people arrested in Lawrence beating
Greemore, 21, was found unconscious on a road on the outskirts of Riverfront Park early Monday morning.
Three of the men, Jeremy Harris James Keezer and Scott Staggs were charged with attempted first degree murder. All five were charged with aggravated kidnapping, aggravated robbery and conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery.
Bail for Harris, Keezer and Staggs was set at $500,000. The remaining two suspects, Leslie Howe and Sara Bruce, have a bond of $300,000.
Lawrence Police Department detectives arrested Howe and Harris after they were detained by Sheriff's
deputies in Greenwood County, south of Emporia. Detectives found the other three people in a home in rural Leavenworth County.
Detectives concluded Greemore was the victim of a robbery, and was then "beaten, bound and left for dead" according to a Lawrence police press release.
Sgt. Mike Pattrick said Greemore was discovered by a passing motorist, and evidence and weapons consistent with Greemore's injuries had been recovered by police.

Wichita State eliminates programs it can't afford
WICHITA — Wichita State University said state budget problems had forced it to eliminate two programs and suspend a third, with the possibility that more cuts may occur.
The cuts are in addition to other measures already announced after a 3.9 percent decrease in state funding in 2002.
And department heads are preparing for as much as a 7 percent decrease this year.
"We're going to be in a situation where we probably won't be able to meet students' needs," said Robert Kindrick, vice president for academic affairs, when asked about the effects of a possible 7 percent decrease in state funding. "All I can say right now is, we're waiting for the final figures, and then we'll see where we go."
Changes made so far include the suspension of a paramedic training program and the dropping of a bachelor of arts degree with a major in ethnic studies, although students will still be able to earn a minor in the field. Six students currently pursuing the major will be able to get their degrees.
The W. Frank Barton School of Business will end a program that trained students to be legal assistants. Dean John Beehler said the decision was the best use of the school's resources.
