Campus More professors surprised by Kemper Awards for teaching
Four more professors were given cash awards on Friday, as Chancellor Robert Hemenway continued to give out $5,000 "Surprise Patrol" awards to professors.
Friday's recipients of the Kemper Awards were Philip Baringer, professor in physics and astronomy; Maggie Childs, professor in East Asian languages and cultures; Rodolfo Torres professor mathematics; and Stephen Fawcett, senior scientist and professor of human development and family life.
The W.T. Kemper Fellowships fund the awards, which recognize teachers at the University of Kansas for teaching excellence and are determined by a seven-member selection committee. This is the eighth year of a 10-year program. In all, 20 professors will be honored. Ten more professors will be recognized this week.

Board expects official figures of fall enrollment to be steady
TOPEKA — Despite recent increases in tuition and fees, university officials in Kansas are expecting steady numbers of students to return to campus for the fall 2003 semester.
State
Most campuses, aware that the cost of going to college is making a sizable
jump, began informing students early on about financial aid and other means for paying for an education.
The Board of Regents will release official enrollment figures for the six state universities following the 20th day of classes in mid-September.
Dick Carter, spokesman for the regents, said several factors could be at play in any enrollment changes this year.
"it's far too early to analyze what the cause may be," Carter said.
The regents approved tuition increases this summer for the new school year ranging from 9.8 percent at Fort Hays State to 21.1 percent at the University of Kansas. The increases were aimed at raising addition revenue to support operations and enhance academic programs.
Enrollment at the six regents universities increased 3.2 percent last fall, despite tuition increases ranging from 6.4 percent at Fort Hays State to 25 percent at Kansas and Kansas State University.
Larry Moeder, director of student financial aid and admissions at Kansas State, said he expected little change in the number of students receiving assistance this year, holding close to the 70 percent of previous years. The school awards about $120 million in aid annually.
The KU men's lacrosse club team practices at Shenk Fields, 23rd and Iowa streets. Yesterday's practice is build to the club's first game of the season at Missouri, early in September.
"Part of the problem with student aid applicants is many don't apply until later," he said. "It's just hard to track."
The campus had 21,663 students last fall and Pat Bosco, Kansas State's dean of student life, said tight student housing would indicate another enrollment increase.
