KU woman finds niche in Marines

While many KU students spent their summer working jobs or going to school, Amber Lacian, Columbus senior, was running obstacle courses, in the wilderness and learning to shoot an M10 rife.
Amber Lucian, left, Columbus senior and member of the U.S. Marine Corps, finishes doing two minutes of sit-ups with Mike Prosser, right, Golden, Colo., senior, for the Marines "Physical Fitness Test." The PFT, held yesterday at Allen Field House, included 20 pull-ups, two minutes of sit-ups and a three-mile run.
Lucian is a Marine who went to Officer Candidate School in Quantico, VA. OCS is a 10-week program, similar to basic training, where potential Marine officers are drilled.
"They screen you to see if you have what it takes," she said.
After Laciian graduates with her degree in anthropology next summer, she will go to The Basic School for six months, where she will learn wartime offensive and defensive tactics. After she completes the school, she will become one of the 650 women Marine officers and 18,000 officers in the Marine Corps.
Offensive training was put back into women's training this fall after an 11-year absence. The training originally was discontinued when the corps saw no reason to teach offensive tactics to women because they could not hold combat commissions, said Maj. Bob Longino, KU Marine officer instructor.
Women still cannot be placed on the front lines.
but the offensive training would be useful in combat support positions, Longino said.
He said if a woman behind the front line was attacked, she now would have the training to take over.

Foster, who recruited Lucian, said he was impressed with her from first time they met.
"She's intelligent, she's always looking for a challenge, she's a perfectionist," he said. "Her mediocrity is far above everyone else's best. She's exactly what the Marines are looking for."
Lucian was originally in the Navy Reserves. She became interested in the Marines after she worked
"They were more professional, and liked the way they worked," she said of the Marines.
Lucian said that being a woman in the Marines had
presented difficult physical and emotional chal lenges for her
"They try very hard to treat women as equals," she said. "When you first become a Marine, you feel you can't be so feminine. You feel you need to fit in and feel like a man. But you can still be feminine and be in the Marines."
She admitted that it was tough being a female Marine in a male-dominated field and that she wished there were more women in the program. Lucian, just over 5 feet tall, said that although the Marine program was physically demanding, it was very rewarding — especially for women.
"You feel like you can compete in a man's world because you actually get to do it," she said.
Lucian said she did not know what she would be doing after graduation from The Basic School.
"I don't care," she said. "I just want to be an officer in the Marine Corps."
Business school makes Top20list
Rating will attract students, dean says
By Muneera Naseer Kansan staff writer
For the first time in its history, the KU School of Business made the Top 20 list of schools in a Business Week survey of non-prestigious schools.
Business Week defines non-prestigious schools as those that offer good value on investment to students in the Master of Business Administration program.
Christine Summerson, a reporter for the magazine who assisted with the survey and the article, said that the magazine wanted to provide a list of quality business schools to students who could not afford or be admitted to the Top 20 prestigious schools. Of the prestigious schools, Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill., ranked No.1 with the University of Chicago at No.2.
The schools on the non-prestigious list had to have average GMAT scores of 575 or greater out of 800 points. At the University of Kansas, the GMAT average was 580, and the applicant
"We created a ratio between the average starting salary, the Graduate Management Admission Test scores and the tuition for non-resident students." Summerson said.
acceptance average was 46 percent.
KU was the only Big Eight school in
the list, which had no numerical
order.
Joseph Bauman, dean of the business school, said the rating would help KU attract a strong, continuous flow of students into the master's program. He said it would also boost job placement opportunities and attract more money to improve the school.
Bauman said the MBA program offered students a strong set of basics in business principles and ethics and focused on the globalization of business.
V. K. Narayanan, associate dean for academic affairs in the school, said some companies preferred to hire graduates from less prestigious schools because the graduates did not demand a high starting salary as compared to graduates from prestigious schools.
Students in the MBA program at KU were encouraged by the rating and called it justified.
The starting salary for KU's MBA graduates was $34,659, according to the article.
Matt Miller, second-year MBA student from Cincinnati, said the only reason he came to KU was because he felt it would be affordable and had a good reputation.
"There's more individualized attention here," he said. "You get an excellent education for a lot less cost."
