Golf tournament to benefit pharmacy scholarship
At least $10,000 needed to finance endowment

A tip for pharmacy students who want the Keith Attleson Memorial Scholarship — work hard and play golf.
"He was very active with KU," said Mick Tranbarger, Attleson's friend. "He loved to play golf."
Tranbarger and other friends and colleagues of Attleson are working to establish
a scholarship for pharmacy students by organizing the Keith Attleson Memorial Golf Tournament in Wichita. The scholarship will commemorate Attleson, a KU pharmacy alumnus who died in a plane crash outside of Wichita on July 7, 1994.
They want their friend to be remembered in the community where he worked and by the school that he loved.
The first tournament, held last year, raised $5,500, and about 100 people attended. All the money raised, except for $900 used for putting on this year's event, went toward the scholarship.
$10,000 — the minimum amount required by the Kansas University Endowment Association. Tranbarger said that he expected more participants in the event this year and that they should be able to meet the association's requirements.
For the University of Kansas to award the scholarship, Attleson's friends have to raise
Tranbarger said Attleson was a prominent pharmacist in the Wichita area.
Attleson began school at Barton County Community College in Great Bend and then came to KU.
over the pharmacy.
After graduating with a pharmacy degree in 1986, Attleson worked at Asbury Hospital in Salina. Attleson then purchased the Family Prescription Shop in Wichita, where he worked until his death. His family has taken
While in Wichita, Attleson had become the president of the local pharmacists' association and had become a respected member of the community, said Gene Hotchkiss, assistant to the dean of pharmacy.
"He was a very enthusiastic young man," Hotchkiss said. "He had a bright future in pharmacy."
Attleson graduated the same year Hotchkiss started his position at KU. While Hotchkiss didn't know Attleson very well, he said Attleson had earned a reputation for being a hard worker — and an avid golfer.
Every spring, the Kappa Psi student pharmacy organization held a golf tournament at
various area courses. And every spring, Attleson played in it, Hotchkiss said.
The School of Pharmacy is sending a team to this year's tournament that will include Hotchkiss, the dean and other faculty. The school also is sponsoring one of the tournament's holes.
This year's tournament will be held at the Tallgrass Country Club in Wichita, where Attleson was a member. The event begins at noon Oct. 3, and registration starts at 10:30 a.m. The cost is $100 per person. Tranbarger said there would be prizes and various other competitions within the event.
"It's a fitting way to remember him," he said.
International students learn how foreign policy is made
By Hannah Naughton Kansan staff writer
Seven KU students from Central America traveled to Washington, D.C., earlier this month to learn firsthand how the U.S. government works.
From Aug. 5 to 11, the students participated in the Diplomacy and Global Affairs seminar
sponsored by the Washington Workshops Foundation.
"We learned a lot about how people think about international affairs," said Claudia Cruz, Guatemala junior. "It was very useful to hear how things are handled in the United States."
During the week-long seminar, the students spoke with ambassadors, diplomatic representatives and government officials involved with foreign affairs. Cruz said.
They toured the State Department, the U.S. Treasury building, the World Bank and the Pentagon. They also visited the embassies of Indonesia, Brazil, the Czech Republic and Canada. Cruz said the seminar rain
Cruz said the seminar reinforced most of her knowledge of the U.S. government. But she noticed some people were ignorant about the importance of other countries to the United States.
Most of this ignorance arose because these people could not see other countries at the same level as the United States, Cruz said.
About 50 students attended the workshop. There were students from Mexico, Russia, Latin America and one student from Sierra Leone in Africa. But the majority of the students were high school students from the United States.
At the end of the seminar, all of the participants discussed immigration in a mock forum,
Cruz said. The international students brought a new perspective to U.S. immigration laws, she said.
"Some of the students told us personally that they learned from us." Cruz said.
The seven Central American students are studying at KU through the Fulbright scholarship program.
