Graduate student William Blake of Olathe plays an arcade with some local elementary students at Friday's Engineering Expo. Blake made his arcade emulator from scratch over winter break. Blake told the kids, "This is why you do engineering, so you can make cool stuff."

Expo

Although the event serves as a recruiting tool for the School of Engineering, Expo is student-designed and student-run.
"Students do a lot more than in the classroom," Bell said.
The various engineering departments displayed past design projects and demonstrated flight and space shuttle simulators and a wind tunnel. Two radios ran on renewable energy sources, one inside and one outside on the Learned Hall lawn. One group
gave away free T-shirts by launching them with a trebuchet, a "fancy catapult," said Curtis Havercamp, Expo co-chair and Hoyt sophomore. Havercamp said a group of mechanical engineering students purchased enough pancake mix to make 960 pancakes during their pancake feed. Next year, the KU chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers hopes to introduce an automatic pancake maker, said Travis Sippel, Sutton, Neb., senior. Down the hall, chemical engineering students made home-brewed root beer.
In the courtyard area between Learned and Eaton hills, the Society of Automotive Engineers displayed their competitive race cars from previous years. Logan Johnson, SAE president and Lawrence senior, said the younger students loved getting into the race cars, but that they would back off and stare in awe when the engines revived up. Expo allows engineering students to show off, Johnson said, and see other people get excited about a project they personally worked on.
Having lived in the country for almost 15 years now, Delia is seeking citizenship through the sponsorship of her aunt, a U.B. citizen. Delia turned in her paperwork in 2000 to begin the legalization process.

Delia said that because she was going through her aunt to gain citizenship, the wait to become a legal citizen could take longer than if she were sponsored by her sister, who was born in the United States. The legalization process is less restrictive when the sponsor is an immediate family member. The problem for Delia is her sister is only 13, and federal law stipulates a person must be 21 to sponsor another person for citizenship.
Given the public debate that surrounds illegal immigration in the United States, Delia remains quiet about her immigration status with others because, she said. "It's easier that way."
"That way there's nothing to explain," she said.
Perhaps the biggest reason that Delia is reluctant to tell others about her situation is the fear of how they will characterize her. Delia said she didn't think some people were mature enough to understand the issue of immigration in this country. She also noted that a lot of children like her had no control over their choice to come to this country illegally.
There are people that Delia does talk to regarding her situation — like Melinda Lewis and others at El Centro inc. in Kansas City, Kan. El Centro is a not-for-profit enterprise that helps families in the Kansas City community. The company's purpose, according to its mission statement, "is to create and sustain educational, social and economic opportunities for families." Lewis, director of policy advocacy and research at El Centro, called Delia "one of the most obsessively-determined-to-succeed students" she had ever met.
Lewis has helped Delia get scholarships to help pay for her education in the absence of financial aid. Numerous minority scholarships require a social security number, thus disqualifying her.
Delia received a scare Sunday when she found out that a Kansas Legislative committee would re-vote on a previously defeated bill to repeal the in-state tuition bill. Last month, Rep. Becky Hutchins (R-Holton) proposed legislation to repeal the 2004 in-state tuition bill. The repeal subsequently died in a committee hearing nearly two weeks ago, but has been brought back for a re-e vote at the request of House Speaker Doug Mays (R-Topeka).
"I hope they don't lose their heads," Delia said in reference to the re-vote. "This bill is not just for striving students, but for America itself," she said.
What would happen to Delia if the bill did get repealed?
"I would have to go to Mexico to study."
Lewis added that the instate tuition bill was important not just to undocumented immigrants, but to the siblings of undocumented aliens as well. Lewis said there were many cases where immigrant families had one documented child and one undocumented child — as is the case with Delia and her younger sister. Lewis said it set a positive example for the younger sibling to see the older one in school, thus creating a "multiplier effect" in the community and starting a "college family."
Even with the unsetting reality that she could be deported at any time or that a repeal of the in-state tuition bill could derail her KU career, Delia remains remarkably upbeat.
"One thing I've learned is not to worry about things that I can't control, whatever happens, happens," Delia said.
So while Delia waits for the notoriously long citizenship process to run its course, she continues to do what she's always done — keep working hard. Using her family as motivation, Delia, a 3.0 student, maintains an arduous 18-hour course load and stays focused on her goal for after graduation — attending medical school.
Lewis, meanwhile, said she had no doubt that Delia would become a doctor someday, she just hoped nothing — legislative or otherwise — would prevent her from doing so.

The preschoolers form a multi-ethnic population, she said, with children coming from several different races. She likes the idea that students are exposed to different kinds of cultural expression.
She said she'd learned through papers that her student volunteers had written at the end of the semester that they loved Head Start and found it rewarding.

Some sororities and fraternities have gotten involved, as
well as some members of the KU football and volleyball teams. Last fall, Kappa Delta sorority raised money to buy every preschooler a new winter jacket.
