KU attracts 50 Merit Scholars
With same number enrolled last year, Kansas ranked 15th
By Karen Park
Kansan staff writer
Fifty National Merit Scholars enrolled at KU for the Fall 1990 semester.
Marti Ruel, assistant dean of educational services, said the University of Kansas last year ranked 18th in the nation for the number of National Merit Scholars.
Only 48 of the scholars can be counted toward the University's national ranking this year because two of the students did not specify KU as their college preference, Ruel said. Those students turned down other universities' scholarships to attend KU.
Eligibility for the scholarships at KU requires students to achieve finalist standing in the National Merit Scholarship competition and list KU as their college preference. The Fuelel said the University decided to scholarship to the two students who did not list KU as their preference.
To become a finalist, students must achieve a consistent 3.0 grade point average and score within a specified range of SAT and the SAT exams, she said.
Ruel said she could not be sure until January 1991 how many National Merit Scholars there were in the United States this year.
The University had about 50 Merit Scholars last year, she said. Forty-one of this year's 50 scholars are from Kansas high schools.
The average ACT score for KU's freshmen National Merit Scholaris is
31. 6 out of a possible 36, she said. KU offers National Merit Scholars $1,300 a year.
Chancellor Gene A. Budig said the University continued to be competitive with leading universities.
"We are competing effectively, but we need to do better in the future," he said.
Budig said he hoped KU would be able to earn a top-10 standing in the future.
The W. Harold Otto Merit Scholarships have sponsored Merit Scholars at the university since 1971.
The National Merit Scholarship Corp. is a non-profit organization established in 1955.
Airline blamed in Sioux City crash

The awards were established at the Kansas University Endowment Association from the estate of W. Harold Otto, a KU graduate who worked for Standard Oil Co. of California for 41 years. Otto died in 1969.
WASHINGTON — Federal safety officials yesterday blamed the United Airlines inspection system for failing to detect a flawed engine part that caused a crash in lova last year.
National Transportation Safety Board officials, issuing the opinion
without dissent, said that as a result of never finding a flair in hundreds of inspections, inspectors missed a fatigue crack in a critical area of a building.
The plane, United Flight 232 en route from Denver to Chicago, crashed while trying to make an
emergency landing in Sioux City, Iowa, killing 112 of 296 aboard
The safety board said the use made by General Electric Aircraft Engines, disintegrated with force so great that the protective housing of the aircraft's hydraulic system used to control its flight was shredded.
South Lawrence Trafficway Road Facts
Thru Traffic • Thousands of cars and trucks pass through Lawrence each day without stopping. KDOT counted 6,000 a day in 1986 and traffic has increased dramatically since then. Much of this traffic will use the South Lawrence Trafficway.
**South of 23rd** • One-third of K-10 traffic has a destination south of 23rd Street according to KDOT. Much of this traffic will also use the SLT.
Heavy Trucks - 4% of K-10 traffic is heavy truck traffic. That's about 800 trucks a day on 23rd Street and Iowa Street, the currently designated truck routes. The SLT will be the new designated truck route, taking this traffic off our city streets.
Trucks from the Turnpike • The Kansas Turnpike Authority has carefully studied how much traffic they would lose when the SLT is built. 1.5% of the trucks on the turnpike will use the SLT when it's built. Less than 50 trucks a day.
Stop Signs • There won't be any stop signs on the South Lawrence Trafficway. There will be five elevated interchanges at the heaviest traffic points. When traffic warrants it, an elevated interchange can be built at Haskell or other points on the route.
State & Federal $37 million in state and federal funds have been committed to this road. That's 89% of the cost. If we vote "no" on the SLT, we lose this money.
Don't be misled by bad information. The South Lawrence Trafficway will make our town safer and less congested.
