Students find proposals pay
By BETH REITER Staff Reporter
Women in city government and textile industries are just two of the many topics of research being studied by undergraduates this year.
Students can get undergraduate research awards for the academic year or for the summer by submitting a proposal to the College Honors Program at the Nunemaker Center, Randa Dubnick, acting director of the College Honors Program, said last week.
Students don't have to be honor students to qualify for the program, Dubnick said.
Angela Hoslington, Goddard senior, was one student selected last year for the program. For her research, Hoslington sent surveys to city employees and visited city managers, city clerks and public works directors in Kansas and Missouri. She surveyed city governments that both did and did not have women as city managers.
whether a woman might have difficulty getting a job as a city manager because she was a woman, and whether she would have problems if she was hired.
"I just wanted to see how all city employees perceive women in any job and in city government," Hoisinon said.
Stipends are given to students to finance research expenses, Dubnick said. A maximum of 12 awards of $200 each are given each academic year and a maximum of 20 awards of $1,000 each are given each summer. The awards have been offered since the 1970s.
A committee of faculty members, which is chosen by the College Honors Program, evaluates the proposals and decides which should receive a stipend, Dubnick said.
THE DEADLINE for applying for summer research awards is April 5. Students must submit an understandable and precise proposal that describes the work that they would do. The research is done outside of regular classwork and without college credit.
experience whether or not the work is financed, Dubnick said. "It develops their skills as researchers."
then skims off.
Instudents submitted 65 proposals in fiscal year 1984, which ended June 30, 1984. In fiscal year 1983, 100 proposals were submitted — the most ever, Dublin said.
Another research project this year is a comparative study of three industrial sectors of five countries.
Colleen Eck, Wichita senior, is comparing the iron, steel, textile and transport equipment of the United States to West Germany and Great Britain.
Eck said she was measuring the relationship between the economic importance, the labor relations and financial support of the industries.
1. had to learn a computer language and extensive statistics." Eck said. "It has improved my research skills tremendously. Eventually I might be able to publish the results."
Students must do the work themselves, Dubrick said. However, they must work under the supervision of a faculty member.
Icy walkway near Malott still closed
Writing the proposal is a learning
Workers were searching for a way to redirect the ground water that flows onto the sidewalk and stairs. Ron Cook, facilities operations engineer, said yesterday. Water from melting snow collects on the sidewalk and stairs during the day and freezes there at night.
the day and it keeps me on edge.
The treacherous walkway has been barricaded since Sunday,
when three inches of snow fell.
Facilities operations workers yesterday battled the steep, icy walkway that runs from the northeast corner of Malott Hall to Wescoe and Stauffer-Flint halls.
COOK SAID A work crew was trying to insert sheets of perforated plastic into the ground to intercept some of the water. He was not sure whether the procedure would work, he said, because the direction of the water flow was difficult to determine.
Cook said the area was one of the worst ice hazards on campus.
