Art history endowment awards students
Kansan staff report
Art history books were awarded to 24 KU students yesterday for their academic achievements in art history courses.
The Barbara H. and Floyd T.
Amsden Art History Award fund
recently was switched to an endowment
in the amount of $10,000. The family has supported the department of art history for 14 years.
Tim Mitchell, chairperson of the department, said that before the endowment was created, the family contributed with an annual cash contribution.
The money traditionally has been
used to provide outstanding undergraduate students with new art history books, he said.
"Books are a direct reflection of academic life," Mitchell said. "Books, people tend to keep — particularly art books."
The books are from the Kansas Union Bookstore and the Spencer Museum of Art bookstore. Each of students will receive a different book.
Students were nominated by faculty members based on their demonstration of interest and ability in art history courses.

Mayo clinic grant based on academics
By Jonathan Plummer Kansan etaf writer
Matthew Thomas, Oswego senior,
said he chose to go to the Mayo
Medical School next year because of
its excellent reputation, outstanding
residence program and small class
size.
And his scholarship worth about $100,000 didn't hurt either.
KU student gets $100,000 stipend
Thomas has accepted the Mayo Medical School Dean's Award, which will pay for his tuition for the next four years.
Deanna Servick, financial aid coordinator at the school, said Dean's Awards were given to four of the school's 20 incoming freshmen each year.

The school, which is in Rochester, Minn., is affiliated with the Mayo Foundation, which includes the Mayo Clinic, where some students serve as residents.
The award is based solely on academic qualifications, not financial need, she said.

MACON, Ga. — A trenzy of late-

"At the interview they asked me if I considered myself a Renaissance man," he said. "I try to do quality work and I was something they were looking at."
Angel Ragins has not decided which of the scholarships to accept — although she is leaning toward a full scholarship to the University of New Orleans — and she has not settled on a major
"My first year, I was just kind or nosing around in different subjects, and I found I liked the subjects that medicine looked at," he said.
The 18-year-old spent many hours last fall writing essays and filling out applications for every college scholarship she thought could win.
Thomas said he would like to continue with other activities outside of the field of science.
Ragins expects to graduate third in her class at Northeast High School. She also is president of the Student Advisory Board, editor of the school's literary magazine.
Ragins carefully researched which awards were available and painstakingly put her scholarship applications together.

"One of the people I interviewed with said he was involved with theater there," he said. "I kind of like that idea."
Thomas also played saxophone in the KU basketball pep band, was a proctor at Pearson Scholarship Hall and took classes in philosophy and sociology, diversions he said may have helped him win the scholarship.

"I told her. "Gosh, girl don't you know there's probably not a (student) anywhere in the state that that's that kind of money?" "Dillard said."
"When she puts her mind to something, she's determined," said Ragins' mother, Laura.
The $28,000 stunned David Dillard, Northeast Principal, and amazed Ragins' classmates.
Thomas said he was surprised when a letter arrived with the good news.
When he the entered the University of Kansas, Thomas said he still was not sure he would choose a career in medicine.
"I don't have to do anything but concentrate on my school work," she said.
