LBGT Resource Center offers $200 scholarship for spring
The Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay and Transgender, or LBGT, Resource Center is offering a $200 scholarship for the spring.
The scholarship is available to any student who has demonstrated activism in the LBGT community.
The scholarship hasn't been offered for the last two years, said Jason Grothe. LBGT Resource coordinator.
The money came from a gift to the Queers and Allies Center and was renewed by fundraising from faculty and staff.
The application can be picked up at the LBGT center, Room 400 in the Kansas Union, and must be completed by 5 p.m. Wednesday, Dec.3.

Researchers awarded grant from science foundation
The National Science Foundation awarded a group of University of Kansas researchers a grant of $18, million. University Relations announced yesterday.
The grant money will go to a research team in the KU Information and Telecommunication Technology Center headed by Gary J. Minden, professor of electrical engineering and computer science.
The three-year project will be called the National Radio Networking Research Testbed. Its goal will be to evaluate wireless technologies and use the radio frequency spectrum more efficiently and effectively.
Personal computers and cell phones are among the devices which use the RF spectrum. Advances in technology are threatening to cause a "spectrum drought."
Minden and his team hope their research will allow more people and businesses to have their own local wireless networks.

Missouri calls for conference to discuss academic proposal
The University of Missouri is calling for athletic reform in the Big 12 Conference.
Missouri has invited the University of Kansas and the other Big 12 schools to a conference to organize a formal convention to consider passing a resolution proposed by the Coalition on Intercollegiate Athletics.
The resolution calls for an "academics first" policy and for the end of the athletics "arms race" between universities.
In short, it is an attempt to decrease the commercialization of college sports and turn the focus of universities from winning games to educating students.
The Pac 10 and Big Ten Conferences have already passed the resolution, and it is under consideration by the Southeastern Conference.
If the University chooses to participate, it will send a member of SenEx to the convention.
Davis said he had deferred the matter to the athletic board.
SenEx would also consult the chancellor before deciding to send a representative to the convention, he said.
Though the University's participation in the event is far from a sure thing, Davis also said he would not be interested in being the representative.
