KU student places well in broadcast competition
A University of Kansas student finished in the top third of competitors in a broadcast competition.
Michael Bieke, a Powell, Wyo., senior in journalism, submitted two stories for the Hearst Foundation's annual broadcast competition.
Bieke spent a month and half researching water conservation and pollution and their effects on agriculture in Kansas. His efforts placed him 19th out of 60 competitors in the video division.
After graduating in May, Bieke plans to pursue a career at a television station.
"I work at Channel 27 now, but I only get to direct on weekends," Bieke said. "I'd like to find a job where I can preferably direct 5 days a week."

All departments, units and organizations not individual students are eligible to apply. Programs previously funded need to reapply for funding, but proposals should not replace existing University aid.
Student Senate will approve the allocations in mid-March, and the money will go toward programs in the 2003-2004 academic year. Applications can be submitted to the Student Senate office and are due no later than 5 p.m.Feb.14.

Med Center alumnus leaves behind donation
C. B. "Buzz" Francisco died in May 2002 and left an unrestricted $300,000 bequest to the University of Kansas
Medical Center and College of Liberal Arts.
Francisco's gift will go toward the KU First: Invest in Excellence fund, which is trying to raise $500 million by 2004. The money KU First raises will be used for scholarships, fellowships, professorships, capital projects and program support. John Scarffe, director of communications for the Kansas University Endowment Association, said he was pleased with the unrestricted bequest.
"KU Endowment is very pleased to have received a bequest from the Francisco estate," Scarfe said, "Especially because of the flexibility provided by the unrestricted nature of the gift."
Francisco graduated from the college in 1941 and from the Med Center in 1944.
Francisco completed his neurology residency at the Med Center in 1964. In 1970, he joined the staff at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., and helped develop the child neurology department. Francisco has a long family history of KU graduates and wanted to give back to the University.

Judge issues death penalty in Robinson murder trial
OLATHE — John E. Robinson Sr. showed little emotion yesterday. Judge John Anderson III showed even less mercy, sentencing Robinson to death for murdering two women and stuffing their bodies into barrels on his rural Kansas property.
Anderson accepted a recommendation made by jurors on Nov. 2 that Robinson be executed.
Robinson, 59, was convicted Oct. 29 for the murders of Suzette Trouten, 27, of Michigan, and Izabela Lewicka, 21, a former Purdue University student.
Anderson also sentenced Robinson to five to 20 years in prison for interference with parental custody, a charge related to the adoption he arranged of Stasi's daughter; to 201/2 years for kidnapping Trouten, and seven months for the theft of sex toys.
