KU pair among 540 in U.S. Seniors win science grants
By PATRICIA SKALLA Staff Reporter
Extragalactic astronomy and international economic relations may not interest everyone, but two KU seniors have found a way to make their interests pay for their educations.
Colleen Eck, Wichita senior, and Joe Shields. El Dorado senior, learned Monday that they had been selected to play in the National Science Foundation.
The foundation granted fellowships to 540 students across the country. Officials in the office of research, graduate studies and public service colleges also did know whether any other KU students had received fellowships.
Douglas S. Chapin, program director for graduate fellowship at the foundation in Washington in 2014, was to give students with the greatest academic
abilities a chance to study as full-time graduate students.
ECK SAID. "WHEN I found out, I was off the wall. I was yelling. The more I think about it, the more excited I get."
Eck and Shields will receive $11,100 a year for three years, and the foundation will pay the institutions they attend $6,000 in lieu of tuition.
Eck, who is an economics and political science major, plans to attend the University of Illinois beginning in August to study how economic exchanges between developed nations affect domestic economies and international relations.
She said she always had been interested in political science, but her interest became more developed when she worked as an intern last spring in the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative in Washington, D.C.
THE TERMS OF the fellowships say the students must begin their studies no later than this fall. After the first year of study, they must complete the remaining two years of the fellowship within four years.
Chapin said the terms allowed students to accept other forms of educational support.
Shields said the application process began last fall and was completed by February. Recipients of the fellowships were notified this week.
Each applicant had to propose a plan of study, write essays about past research and submit four letters of recommendation. Eck said.
Chapin said each application was judged by a panel of professors on the basis of academic ability only. The judges won the winners from 4,590 applicants.
"Only the students with the best qualifications apply." Eck said. "The competition is just incredible. I thought I would be extremely lucky if I even got an honorable mention."

Follies to feature surprises
Music faculty intend to have some fun and possibly make mools of themselves on Monday, April Fool's Day.
Ki Pappa Lambda's Faculty
Folies is scheduled for 8:01 p.m.
 Monday at Swarthout Recital Hall
Tickets are $2.99 and will be sold
 at the door. Money from the per-
formers will be used to scholarshims for music students.
"It's all meant to be silly," he said. "We love to do it. Some faculty members have a dry sense of humor that works well."
The unusual price and time are no mistake, Norman Paige, professor of吹奏 and president of Pi Kappa Lambda, an honorary professor of music at the university said April Fool's Day was picked intentionally for the performance.
Past Follies have shown faculty members in outlandish costumes ranging from a chicken and a
crown to women dressed as men as men dressed as women.
PAIGE SAID. "WE all give serious recitals. So we try to get as silly as possible at this."
Many of the performers said they would not reveal their acts because they would spoil the show. One performer did let part of the slip out.
David Bushouse, professor of French horn, admitted he had not practiced for the show yet. Bushouse he said he planned to perform a Haydn concerto on a garden hose. He said he still needed to do some shopping to find a hose in the right kev.
Michael Kimber, assistant professor of viola, plans to perform "Ground Round," the slow movement from a viola sonata for four hands by P.D. Q. (Pretty Darn Quick) Bach. He said P.D. Q was the mythical son of Johann Sebastian Bach.
Kimber said he would play the viola and two people would accompany him. Each will hold one end of a 30-foot nylon cord, he said.
and draw it slowly across the viola strings.
Paige said the group would have no formal rehearsal.
KIMBER SAID HE had not begun practicing the sonata with his partners. He said he hadn't practiced because Faculty Follies was funnier when performers ad-libbed.
"The less polished it is, the better it is." he said.
Miriam Stewart Green, professor of voice, said the Follies was a change of pace.
"I get a kick out of it. It is a healthy thing to do." Green said, "Some faculty members tend to feel they should always be seri-
Kimber said he had enjoyed performing in past shows.
"This has been a really busy semester. It's a chance to unwind and let our hair down," Kimber said.
Past Follies have been popular. Paige said students enjoyed seeing their professors in a different light. limpalight
