KU on Wheels will hold hearing on new bus routes
KU on Wheels will take comments and suggestions for new bus routes at its hearing Monday between 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at the Wheat Room of the Organization and Leadership office on the fourth floor in the Kansas Union.
"This is the best opportunity for students who continually have issues with the bus schedules to have their issues actually heard and dealt with." Tim Akright, transportation coordinator, said.
Akright encourages all proposals to be made ahead of time by calling 864- 4644.
He said the strongest cases to add routes could be made from apartment complex directors who knew how many students would use the route.
The transportation board will discuss the comments and suggestions in its meeting the following Monday. Route changes, and additions will be implemented for the Fall 2003 semester.
Large donation helps KU First near scholarship goal
Kansas University Endowment Association's KU First campaign to raise money for scholarships is up $60,000 thanks to Eric "Ric" Knorr and his wife, Darlene Knorr.
Their $60,000 cash gift and estate gift counts towards KU First's goal of $500 million, which is currently at $404 million.
Of the Knorr's pledge, $25,000 will establish a scholarship in medicine; $10,000 will be added to a scholarship
they established in 1984 in honor of Ric's parents, James and Virginia Knorr, to a qualifying KU athlete majoring in business; and $25,000 will be included in an unrestricted fund in their names.
John Scarffe, director of communications of the Endowment Association, said the unrestricted fund was a priority for their callers.
"It's great gift and particularly wonderful to get the unrestricted gift because that provides the flexibility for the University to meet unforeseen needs,"Scarffe said.
