Publication features research papers
By John Williams Of the Kansan staff
Many students are disillusioned to find that, their research projects, produced after many long and hard weeks of work, progressed no further than a professor's desk.
But a new publication offered by the honors program may provide another outlet for their work and stimulate other students to conduct undergraduate research at the University, the editor of the publication said yesterday.
Chris Shannon, the editor and Golden, Colo., sophomore, said the "Kansas Undergraduate Review" made its debut on campus Monday by publishing three students' undergraduate research.
"There is a definite need for a place for students to display
research," she said, "and the 'Review' is also something for KU to show off. This provides students with a stimulus to do research — instead of the hard work they put in just ending up on a professor's desk."
An informational meeting for honor students interested in being staff members of the "Review" or for any undergraduate student who wants to submit papers to the "Review" will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday in Nunemaker Center.

She said most people at KU and elsewhere were unaware of undergraduate research.
The publication is edited and
"The Review' should be an incentive for other students to produce good work." Pearson said. "It is something worthwhile that they can do for their future and something that was here and now."
Randa Dubnick, assistant director of the College Honors Program, said yesterday that KU was a community of scholars.
"It's good for the students to have their work taken seriously enough to be published," she said. "The more opportunities they get the better."
