16 students to get research funds
Honors group shares $20,000

The recipients of the Undergraduate Research Award for Summer 1989 have been named by the College Honors Program.
"It is an individual, independent but supervised, research program." Brehm said.
Sixteen students will receive a $1,250 stipend to conduct research this summer.
"The competition is to fund original research and scholarship by KU undergraduates," said Sharon Brehm, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and director of the honor program.
work during the summer
The competition is for students who want to work on a project during the summer, but need financial assistance to cover some of the expenses incurred, Brehm said. Recipients must do a substantial amount of
"It's fairly rare that everything gets done in the summer," she said.
Students applying for the grants must have a faculty sponsor. The application process requires that students understand what of what to do to, why it's important and what contribution it will have to their education.
Students also must submit two letters of recommendation, one from their faculty sponsor and the other from a graduate school professor, they must submit their transcript.
The competition is open to all full-time students who will be returning to the University as a full-time student semester of the academic year.
Brehm said the program had two purposes.
"First, it gives students the chance to do their research," she said. "It's the best kind of learning because it's an active work under faculty supervision."
It also gives students the opportunity to practice writing grant proposals, she said.
The recipients are obligated to furnish the College Honors Program with two reports, Brehm said. The first is an early interim report, the second is the final reporting progress. The second is the final report, submitted in the spring.
Brehm said the final report was the product of the student's work. The final report comes in many forms, including video tapes, pieces of art or pictures, depending on the project, she said. The report fits the project.
"This program is one of the best programs we have for undergraduates at this University," Brehm said.
Tracy Lea Arnold, Wichita junior, said she would research de-industrialization and have the faculty would have community as part of her pursuit of a sociology degree.
Arnold said she was trying to determine what effect plant closings have had on communities and how people in the communities feel about
The study will be descriptive...
"I'm describing what I find,"
Arnold said. "I'm not proving a theory or hypothesis."
Arnold will study Augusta and Ottawa. She said both towns have had plant closings within the past five years.
Arnold said, "Financially I give me a lot more freedom to do this research."
Scoff Robinson, Lyndon senior, said he was going to study drug stability using microcalorimetry. Robison is a pharmaceutical chemistry major.
"The study will measure the degradation rate of benzylpenicillin at different temperatures, to get a more accurate rate constant," he said.
Robison, who has been working for Siegfried Lindenbaum, professor of pharmaceutical chemistry, said he wanted to research this subject further on his own. Lindenbaum does research in that area.
The grant will make it financially easier for him to do his research, Robison said.
