Graduating design students organize free public exhibit
Graduating seniors from the University of Kansas department of design will show their work during a group exhibition running from Feb. 2 through Feb. 7 in the Art and Design Gallery.
Students are completing their work in the following areas: ceramics, textiles, jewelry and metalsmithing, and visual art education. This show marks the first time this group of graduating majors has ever organized a public exhibition.
"It's always nice to have people see your work," said Peter Cropper, graduate of the department of design. "My friends would get to see what I had been working on all year."
The event is free. The gallery is located on the third floor of the Art and Design Building, at the northeast corner of 15th Street and Naismith Drive. Hours are Sunday, 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.; Monday through Wednesday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. The gallery is closed on Saturdays and holidays.
For more information, please call 864-4401.

Four Kappa Sigma members receive acknowledgment
Four members of the KU chapter of Kappa Sigma fraternity received the Scholarship-Leadership Award from the Kappa Sigma Endowment Fund. The awards break down into the following nationwide categories: Named Award ($2,500); $1,000 Award; $500 Award; and the non-cash Certificate of Merit.
Christopher Hartley, Lenexa senior, won a $500 Award; Jason Plagman, Storm Lake, Iowa, junior won a $500 Award; Brian Raggett, Overland Park junior, won a $500 Award; and Timothy Donnally, Lawrence senior, won a Certificate of Merit.
These students were four out of 336 who received awards and 843 who applied.
The awards were made by a commission that based its decision on aca
demic performance, campus leadership and fraternity involvement. The awards were made possible by alumni donations.
"I'm glad to be awarded by nationals. I was grateful that our fraternity has such great alumni," Plagman said.

Endowments shrink sharply at colleges across nation
College endowments last year turned in their worst performance since 1974, a stark contrast to the investment boom of the 1990s and a financial blow at a time when many public schools are losing state aid.
The average college endowment shrank 6 percent in the fiscal year ending June 30,2002, according to a survey of 660 institutions to be released today by the National Association of College and University Business Officers.
The findings matched those of another study released last month by Commonfund Institute.
It was the first back-to-back decline since Washington-based NACUBO began its survey in 1971. The 2001 survey showed an average decline of 3.6 percent.
Belt-tightening is evident at schools such as Boston University, with 29,000 students, which is laying off faculty, and tiny Hillsdale College in Michigan, which is cutting four varsity sports teams. Even wealthy schools like Dartmouth, Duke and Stanford have been forced to cut costs.
