$500,000 gift to create professorship
A $100,000 gift from the Hall Family Foundation in Kansas City, Mo., be used to establish a distinguished professorship in the humanities, KU.
Todd Seymour, president of the Kansas University Endowment Association, said that the Joyce and Elizabeth Hall Distinguished Professorship would bring a specialist in British legal and constitutional history to the University of Kansas.
The gift also provides an endowment for British history library acquisitions, Seymour said. The gift will help the endowment association in its efforts to raise the $3 million needed to receive an annual million grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
The University has until July 31, 1985, to raise the $3 million.
George Woodyard, project director for the humanities grant, said that with the Hall gift, the University had collected $1.5 million.

Martin said the Endowment Association had refused donations from a few potential donors who insisted that their money be used to create scholarships for students with specific racial or religious backgrounds.
JAMES MARTIN, senior vice president in charge of fund raising at the Kansas University Endowment Association, said that KU awarded $4.2 million last year. Almost every scholarship carried some kind of restriction, he said.
restrictions placed on scholarships by the donors, Rogers said.
Jerry Rogers, the director, said that money was still left in a few scholarship funds because this year the University couldn't find students from the geographic areas that the scholarships' donors had specified.
"We always explain to donors that there are some restrictions that cannot be met."
The money will remain in the scholarship fund this year and will be awarded next year if qualified recipients can be found, he said.
IF A POTENTIAL donor tries to restrict his donation to students of a particular race or religion, he said, the rule is "not discriminatory" to omit the discriminatory restrictions
Rogers said that of the 1,000 funds
Usually the association is able to convince the donor to drop the discriminatory restrictions, he said. If the donor does not comply, he can convince the donor, the donation is refused.
Donors' restricted funds remain unused
Some scholarship money at the University of Kansas remains unawarded every year because many donors restrict their scholarships to students from specific geographic areas, the director of the office of student financial aid said recently.

Rogers also said that scholarships were awarded on the basis of financial need. A student's financial need is determined using information taken from sources including the student and sent to the American College Testing Board offices, he said.

However, in cases such as the Parks fund, where the scholarship is willed to the University, the Endowment Association cannot speak to the donor and thus cannot remove such religious restrictions.
ONE SUCH scholarship is the Lewis A. Parks scholarship. To be eligible for the scholarship, a student must be a Protestant majoring in English or business. The student must also be well-behaved and must take at least
One of the funds that has remaining money is the Ivan Burket scholarship, Rogers said. It is restricted to students from Clark County.
"Many former KU students who have had success in their chosen professions often regard that as a result of scholarships they received," he said.
Rogers said that KU had other scholarships that contained more stringent restrictions than geographic stipulations. Some of those scholarships have not been awarded for a few years, he said.
Three funds for students from Butler County also have excess money, he said. He said that the financial aid office generally used money from just the three funds to finance scholarships for students from Butler County.

The money for the Parks scholarship was donated to KU in July 1962, from the estate of Grace M. Parks who willed the money in memory of her brother Lewis A. Parks. The scholarship was last awarded in 1981.

"You never can spend all of your restricted money." Rippers said.
Martin, the fund-raising official at the Endowment Association, said that KU graduates often donated money to the charity. The students planned to enter the donor's profession

THE INFORMATION from ACT is processed in the financial aid office computer to show all the scholarships students may be eligible for under

For Harvey Lovell, the cigarette burns in the carpeting at Wescoe Hall were a smoldering annoyance. The solution, he thought, was easy enough.
The idea paid off. Yesterday he received a gift of sugaring套uggestion to join metal matship.

Upon receiving her award from Chancellor Gene A. Budig, Coffey said, "I feel my husband should be the one receiving this because he was the one who got hurt — and he hasn't been able to work since."
Bevins said that 65 percent of the trash cans on campus had one of Lovell's metal ashtrays. The old pedastal ashtrails the University had been using were inefficient and too frequently disappeared, he said.
Lovell's aashtry is expected to save the University $4,566.
David Lewin, KU director of personnel, said the program, which recognizes state employees for their suggestions, began about a year ago.
one of those large metal trash bins found behind campus buildings fell open and hit him on the head. He has worked about 10 days since the accident.
LOVELL AND JOSEPHINE Coffey, both employed in the housekeeping department of Facilities Operations, received awards from the University of Minnesota for staff-saving and employee-safety suggestions that have been put in use at KU.
Several employees have been hurt by the large metal lids when strong gusts of wind have blowed the lids shut on their heads, shoulders, arms and hands, said Dick Bevins, associate director of housekeeping services.
Coffey's $100 award in a way was a sad reminder of the reason her idea ever had to be considered in the first place.
COFFEY SUGGESTED A way to anchor the lids on the trash bins to keep them from unexpectedly falling shut Trash bins on campus are now secured by metal rods that prop the lids open
