Extracurricular design team wins award at competition
A team of University of Kansas aerospace engineering students rode the lightweight wings of Kahuna to the winners circle at a competition in Orlando, Fla., in last month.
Kahuna, a radio-controlled aircraft the students designed and built, won the award for Best Design Report. The aircraft performed well, flying several times, but did not win any other awards
The team began the project in the summer of 2003. After its win in Orlando, the team will take the plane to the Aero Design West Competition this June in Fort Worth, Texas.
Bill Donovan, Osawatomie senior,
was captain of the 12-member team.
The aerospace team is an entirely extracurricular activity. Kahuna was the second plane the team built.

ARE YOU AN AMERICAN STUDENT PAYING NON-RESIDENT TUITION?
The Governor of Kansas is about to sign legislation to offer resident tuition worth more than $7,200 a year to certain undocumented aliens.
To offer this benefit to illegal aliens is discriminatory under federal law unless all enrolled U.S. citizens are offered resident tuition rates, including all out-of-state American students.
Students who oppose illegal immigration and unfair discrimination against Americans can join a lawsuit being prepared to challenge this unlawful decision and protect your rights.
You can help. If you are a United States citizen who will enroll as a full-time non-resident student at any Kansas public university in 2004-2005, please leave a message at (877) 627-3247 or email kansastuition@yahoo.com to receive full information.
