Political internships available through KU
University of Kansas students looking for internships in the political world can gain experience through KU's Washington D.C. and Topeka intern programs.
The internships are open to all students. Informational meetings will be held Monday at 4 p.m.at 204 Blake Hall and 7 p.m.at 107 Blake Hall.
An application process will select about 30 students to go to either Washington or Topeka.
The program was started by Burdett Loomis, professor of political science.
Loomis said most applicants were undergraduates, and the program required a 2.75 grade point average, but all students were welcome to apply.
He said the program had given internships to students every spring since it started in 1983.
Loomis said about five students from other state schools were also sent on internships through the KU program.

Meeting held to gather opinion on trafficway
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is accepting public comment tonight about further construction on the South Lawrence Trafficway.
The hearing will be at 5:30 p.m. in building 21 at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, 2120 Harper St.
Robert Smith, head project manager for the Corps of Engineers, is accepting comments from the community as to whether the highway should be built through the Haskell-Baker Wetlands. Smith's decision will affect whether developers can drain the wetlands.
Some students are planning to speak at the hearing, and others will be demonstrating outside, said Shane McCall, president of KU Environs.
"We're a part of a larger community that is opposed to destroying the wetlands," he said. "We want to make a strong statement of our opinion, and the best way is by physically being there."

Test score gaps worry some education officials
TOPEKA — Kansas students are holding their own on state assessment scores, the State Board of Education was told Tuesday. However, concern remains over lingering gaps between the highest and lowest scores.
Alexa Pochowski of the Kansas Department of Education said that while more minority students were scoring in the highest three categories, their scores still lagged behind those of whites.
A similar gap appears when comparing students who receive free or low-cost lunches and students who do not, officials said, which are typically comprised of African-American and Hispanic populations.
