Students' rights to set tone for lunch

Kansas staff writer
Delta Force is holding weekly brown-bag meetings at the Kansas Union to bring awareness to campus issues.
Today's meeting will be from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. in the lobby of the Kansas Union.
Students' rights on campus will be the theme of today's meeting.
Emily Heath, Oskaloosa junior and president of Delta Force said that the discussions addressed specific issues each week and were led by different people.
Members of Delta Force came up with the idea of holding the informal brown-bag
meetings once a week to find out what students are concerned about.
Heath said that the objective of the brown-bag meetings was to encourage discussion about university issues in a casual setting.
"It's a student-friendly way to get students to share ideas," Heath said. "We want them to grab a sandwich and come talk. They can talk about the policies they want to see the university keep and the things they want to see changed."
Heath said the brown-bag lunches were advertised only by word-of-mouth. Until last week, the meetings were scheduled for 11:30 a.m. Wednesdays. The new Tues
day schedule starts today.
Delta Force conducted its first brown bag meeting Jan 28. About 15 students attended the meeting at different times. Jason Fizell, Olatha senior and former president of Delta Force, discussed a plan to shorten fall finals to five days, allowing for a four-day weekend during October.
Last week, the meeting addressed the possible renovation and construction of additional recreation areas at Robinson Center.

"It's very informal," Fizell said. "I give a brief introduction and ask some questions. Then you have people throwing in ideas. It's good because it's on campus and during the

Future topics for discussion will include a campus escort program, space available to students in the Kansas Unions, minority recruitment and retention and on-campus e-mail terminal access.
Program provides positive assistance
Mount Oread Scholars offers students fun, scholarship, advising
By Gerry Doyle gdoyle@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
From socializing to scheduling, a specialized University program is doing its best to foster scholarship on the Hill.
The Mount Oread Scholars program, in its second year, is designed to help academically promising students, said Lloyd Sponholtz, associate professor of history and director of the program. These students generally graduate in the top 20 percent of their high school classes and score between 28 and 30 on the ACT, Sponholtz said.
The program has 127 students this year. It is available only to freshmen who meet the program's criteria, and scholars get a $1,000, nonrenewable scholarship.
The program functions in conjunction with the Freshman-Sophomore advising center by coordinating advising for the students. Tammara Durham, assistant director of the advising center, just began work and working with the program Jan. 5. As a result, she only has seen the general effects for Oread Scholars, Durham said.
"Our hope is just to get more students involved," she said. "We want to provide services for students who might otherwise get lost."
The program offers academic advising to Oread Scholars, and sections of popular freshman
clinics and labs are reserved so that students in the program can have a better chance of getting in. Sunnholtzt said. After the first semester, they also can get more specialized advising to help them with their preferred areas of study, be said.
Oriental Scholars receive special attention toward integrating them into the University, he said. Rather than neglect socialization, the program aims to help the Scholars in all aspects of their first year, he said.
The program holds events—such as a walk up the Hill, bowling and a Halloween poetry reading—to help participants become better acquainted with their peers and with the University, he said.
holtz said. "Students are flattered by the 'scholar' designation. We help them integrate and get a better sense of the KU community."
"The walk up the Hill is a good, symbolic way to begin their academic career." Spon-
Jennifer Pickard, St. Joseph, Mo., freshman and Oread Scholar, said her impressions of the University's efforts to help her had been favorable. The academic and integration efforts helped make her first year enjoyable. Pickard said.
Although the schedule advising during summer orientation helped her, the biggest benefit was less concrete, she said.
"I've met a lot of people in the same major," she said. "They try to get us involved, to be able to recognize each other on campus. I know it will help people in the future, and I hope it goes on."
