The Kansas Endowment Association has increased its Summerfield and Watkins-Berger Scholarships from $500 to $2,000 start next fall. Linda Beville, an administrative assistant for the University for student affairs, said yesterday.
"In the past, incoming freshman were given a $500 honorarium for one year," she said, "but now they can count on as much as $2,000 over a four-year period if they maintain established academic standards."
David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, said an honors scholarship committee made up of faculty, staff and student scholars set the standards, which include a 3.5 overall grade point average.
The Summerfield Scholarships, for men, are financed by an endowment created by the late Solon E. Summerfield, native of Lawrence and a KU graduate. The Watkins-Berger Scholarship is for women for income from the estate of Elizabeth Watkins of Lawrence and from an endowment created by the late Arthur
Berger of Dallas in memory of his sister.
CANDIDATES FOR these awards must be Kansas residents and must meet the initial requirement of being a National Merit semifinalist, a National Merit recipient who has earned a composite score of 30 or higher on the American College Test.
This year 72 seniors were named scholarship winners at KU by the Endowment Association.
Marion McCorkill, assistant to the president of the Endowment Association, said the extra money came from good management of the Summerfield funds, interest on oil and gas royalties and other liabilities. His generosity of past scholarship recipients.

Claims for jobless benefits rise
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — The number of unemployed people who claimed state jobless benefits for the first time increased by 35,000 in the first week of 1983, the Labor Department said yesterday.
The increase brought the total new claims for the week to 550,000. The seasonally adjusted total of 644,000 for the week that ended Dec. 18 set the latest national unemployment rate at 10.8 percent.
Trends in the weekly claims are frequently similar to the trends for the monthly unemployment rates.
The seasonally adjusted total is a statistical comparison with averages for the same period during several prior years.
THE ACTUAL number of claims is much higher. For the week that ended Dec. 18, a total of 746,000 people filed claims for jobless benefits for the
first time, an increase of 92,400 from the week before.
Fewer than half of the 12 million people looking for work are covered by state insurance benefits. A somewhat larger number of people who took out the weekly totals became unemployed but were not eligible for benefits.
Another 1.8 million people are too discouraged to keep looking for work and are not included in either the weekly report on new claims for benefits or the monthly national unemployment rate, the department said.
Congressional Budget Office Director Alice Rivlin predicted Wednesday that the nation's unemployment rate above 10 percent through mid-1984.
RIVLIN SAID she expected a moderate economic recovery starting in the first half of this year. But unemployment "could even get
worse before it gets better," she told a Senate subcommittee.
The latest national unemployment report, released Jan. 7, said the average time before a newly unemployed worker found another job had stretched to 18 weeks, the longest since the end of World War II.
The 10 highest rates of insured unemployment were West Virginia, 10 percent; Idaho, 8.1 percent; Alaska, 7.8 percent; Pennsylvania, 7.8 percent; Michigan, 7.7 percent; Wisconsin, 7.1 percent; Arkansas, 7.3 percent; Washington, 7 percent; Mississippi, 6.8 percent and Oregon, 6.7 percent.
Although it is ranked fifth in rates of insured unemployment, Michigan's rate of 17.6 percent for insured and uninsured unemployment combined was the highest in the nation, the department said.
Doctor dies, leaves void at Watkins
Watkins Memorial Hospital needs to recruit a new doctor to fill the void left by the death of Frederick Totten, David C. Smith, for students affair, said yesterday.
Totten, whose specialty was internal medicine, died at home early Christmas morning, apparently of a heart attack. He was 65.
Martin Wollmann, director of the hospital, said he was making plans to extend his stay in Germany.
1950 after serving as an officer in World War II. He was a member of the American Medical Association and the Kansas Medical Society.
Totten was a graduate of the U.S. Medical College in Rochester, medical degree from the university.
NOT ONLY was Totten valued as a doctor, he was also admired and rewarded.
Christine Jesatto, Northbrook, Ill., senior, said that Totten was her favorite doctor at the hospital.
She said she appreciated the fact that he always remembered her
"I didn't go to anybody but him," she said. "I don't know who I'm going to go to next."
Becky Forste, Marysville senior,
said. "He was a good friend, a very
super guy. After I saw him the first
time, I always asked for him."
Survivors include his wife, Anne, 312
Campfire Dr.; a son, Robert, Topekia;
and two daughters, Katherine, Law-
rence senior, and Mary Anne, Boston.
Monika Goerich, Kirkwood, Mo.
senior, said, "It's so impersonal
sometimes; it's good to have someone
nice to go to who you know and who
would please me. I had to wait two
or three hours to see him, but he was
worth waiting for."
Official says interrupted talks shouldn't affect Shultz's trip
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — The breakdown in negotiations between China and the United States over textiles should have no effect on a visit by Secretary of State George Shultz to Peking next month, an official in the State Department said yesterday.
"We believe that the Chinese might raise this issue with the secretary and the secretary will explain the U.S. response," spokesman John Hughes said.
Li Dengshan, China's chief negotiator, announced the end of week-long talks aimed at establishing a six-year textile agreement and settling the most bitter economic dispute since U.S.-China trade resumed in 1971.
"However, we have no reason to believe that this issue should have an impact."
HUGHES SAID the United States was disappointed that it was not possible to conclude an agreement now with China and that it was prepared to resume the negotiations.
But in the absence of an agreement, the United States will go ahead "to protect our markets" against undesirable exports, he said.
China sold $590 million in textiles to the United States in 1981. About 10
percent of the foreign textiles currently entering the United States come from China.
Exports of Chinese clothing and accessories to America in 1982 grew by more than 50 percent over 1981 and Peking is eager to keep the flow increasing. It depends on export growth of textiles and light industrial products to finance its ambitious economic development.
The quotas limiting Chinese textile exports are expected to be announced soon. Shultz will visit China in February and introduce the textile products Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong.
Lewis enters not guilty plea in fraud

pleas. The trial was placed on the Feb.
28 docket.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — James W. Lewis, the man accused in the Tylien extortion case, pleaded not guilty Thursday before a federal magistrate to charges of mail fraud and making a false claim against the government.
Lewis, who is being held at the federal penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kan, was brought to Kansas City, Mo. on a Chicago a week ago to face the charges.
During a 15 minute arraignment, Lewis appeared before U.S. Magistrate Calvin K. Hamilton and entered his
The indictment, handed down by
federal grand jury Nov. 9, 1982,
charged Lewis with six counts of mail
fraud for using the U.S. Postal Service
money and property from banks and businesses
that issue credit cards."
THE MAXIMUM sentence for those charges is five years in prison and $1,000 for each count.
The other two charges concern an income tax return allegedly filed by Lewis concerning a non-existent elec-
tion. The other two charges concern Associates, Inc. Lewis faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison
and $10,000 on each of those two counts.
Lewis, 36, was captured in a New York library last month, ending a nationwide search that began after he was linked to an extortion note to Johnson & Johnson, the makers of Vitamin B-12. Seven men in the Chicago area died last fall when they took Tyllenol capsules laced with cyanide.
Lewis' wife, Leann, surrendered to authorities in Chicago shortly after her husband's arrest. Neither are considered suspects in the poisonings, and Lewis has denied writing the extortion letters.
