Two KU students place 11th in Hearst writing contest
The University of Kansas and two students received honors from the William Hearst Foundation's Journalism Awards Program at the first competition of the academic year
The University placed third in the Intercollegiate Writing Competition.
was his end-of-the-year project as a staff writer. The story examined the increased popularity of poker. Johnson's piece, which was published in Jayplay Sept. 23, detailed a small town in South Dakota and its quirks. He said he had received positive feedback from his story, and he had enjoyed writing it.
Intercollegiate Writing Competition.
Each year, the Foundation awards more than $400,000 in scholarships to students at more than 100 undergraduate journalism schools across the country. Zach Hemenway, KU graduate and first-year law student at the University of Nebraska, and Erik Johnson, Bloomington, Minn., senior, tied for 11th place and received certificates of merit for their writing.
Hemenay's story, published in The University Daily Kansan D, 1, 2003.
"I didn't expect to be nominated," Johnson said. "And when I won, it was a big honor. I didn't expect to place as well as I did."
"It's supposedly good and impressive to potential employers — I hope," he said.
Hemenway and Johnson were two among 103 other students at 58 universities to enter the first competition of the academic year of the Hearst program.
Johnson said he had heard a rumor that earning an honor from the Hearst competition would help him find a job after he graduated.

Todd has been working Jayhawk basketball security since he was a junior in high school.

Laura Clark, Wichita senior, sang the national anthem and during halftime a lay-up competition between BSU, HALO, AASU, NPHC and Alpha Phi Omega occurred. Unity did not perform.
