Get a 4.0, win clothing.

Sally Frost-Mason, dean of the college, distributed shirts to 100 of the 450 students who earned the T-shirts at a ceremony at the Kansas Union. The students earned a 3.9 grade-point average last year or a 4.0 average last semester.
Frost-Mason said she enjoyed meeting the college's top students.
"It was the highlight of my week," she said. "It's been a challenge to illustrate to students that they're not only part of their departments, but also a part of the college."
Departments within the college usually honor their own students. This was the first time in several years the college has given this sort of award, Frost-Mason said.
"I liked the recognition," said Kim Oliver, Wichita freshman, who received the award. "I think it's great that they're rewarding people for their work."
Exchange student Juliette Humphrey, Durbin, South Africa, junior, said the T-shirt would make a good souvenir.
"Only America will go through all the effort of honoring people this
way," she said. "It's the American thing to have a T-shirt to represent everything. I love it."
The T-shirts were emblazened with the pun "First CLAS," an illustration of the University's hilltops, a Jayhawk and the state of Kansas.
They were designed by Toni Brou, a college alumna.
Students who did not attend yesterday's ceremony may pick up their shirts by presenting their invitations in the college office, 200 Strong Hall.
Buses prepare for summer
By Stephanie McDuff
Kansan staff writer
With the onset of summer, KU on Wheels is preparing for its summer school schedule.
The 19-route bus system will be trimmed to its two main routes: the 24th Street and Ridge Court route and the 15th Street and Crestline Drive/Sixth Street and Crestline Drive route.
Scott Kaiser, transportation coordinator and Overland Park freshman, said that these standard routes serviced the highest density of riders in the summer.
The summer route system will begin June 3 and run through the end of summer school on July 26. The specific summer schedules will be available to students when they purchase their bus pass.
Students can purchase a summer bus pass for $30 at the bank window in the Kansas Union starting June 3, Kaiser said.
"The essential purpose of KU on Wheels is to take care of KU students year round," said Kaiser, who was hired last month to coordinate the transportation system.
This summer's routes will service the same bus stops as in the fall, Kalser said, although some of the pick-up times will change.
Two buses and four drivers will operate the route system while summer school is in session, said Wayne Pope, general manager of the Lawrence Bus Company.
This summer, KU on Wheels bus passes probably will bring in $30,000, Kaiser said. However, the revenue
Finals bus schedule
There will be no bus service on Stop Day, Tuesday.
Buses will resume their regular schedules Wednesday and continue through the last day of finals.
Although Kaiser said that KU on Wheels probably would lose money during the summer, he said he could not say how much it would cost to run the bus system. He did say, however, that the board would make up revenue during the school year to offset its summer expenditures.
"That's the way mass transit is, but in the end it breaks even," Kaiser said.
