KU student among finalists for Truman Scholarship
Travis Weller, Garden City junior, has been nominated for the national Truman Scholarship. The scholarship can provide up to $30,000 for undergraduate and graduate study.
Weller, a sociology major, submitted a proposal to address the culture that makes rape more acceptable, and to include men, rather than focus exclusively on victims. The proposal was part of the application process.
"It's absolutely a wonderful privilege," Weller said. "I'm really excited for the opportunity to participate in the Truman experience."
Katherine Rose-Mockry, director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, supervises Weller in his work as a men's outreach coordinator. She said he was deserving of recognition.
"Travis is remarkable in his focus, his vision and his determination to follow through on the goals he stated in his proposal for the Truman Scholarship," Rose-Mockry said.
Henry C. Jackson
Weller will be interviewed March 7 in Kansas City, Mo., along with other finalists from Kansas, Missouri and Iowa. A total of 212 finalists from 144 institutions are competing for the 75 to 80 scholarships.

Odor sparks investigation, leads to carcasses of 82 cat
MESILLA PARK, N.M. — More than 100 cats and the frozen carcasses of 82 others were removed from the home of a woman living alone in a four-bedroom house, authorities said.
Las Cruces police went to the home in southern New Mexico on Tuesday after receiving reports of foul odors, Lt. Juan Moreno said.
Inside a kitchen freezer, officers found 82 frozen cats — each inside a one-gallon freezer bag bearing a brief description and date. Moreno said.
The woman, 46, was taken to Memorial Medical Center for examination and was later released.
