Two students reach semifinals for teaching scholarship
Two students from the University of Kansas are each competing for an opportunity to earn one of 85 fellowships offered through the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to encourage careers in teaching humanities.
Cody Marrs, Akansas City senior, and Anne B. Wallen, a May 2003 graduate from Lindsborg, are now semifinalists, following interviews in Chicago with a regional committee.
Marrs plans to graduate in May and wants to teach literary studies at the university level.
Wallen is pursuing a career in German and comparative literatures.
After she graduated from the University of Kansas, Wallen received a German exchange scholarship and is studying in Germany this semester.
Fellowship winners will be announced by the Final Selection Committee of the Mellon Foundation in the first week of April.
The fellowship will cover tuition and fee costs and $17,500 for one year of graduate study.

Legislators are feeling pressure to rewrite state liquor laws because of a Kansas Supreme Court ruling that cities can exempt themselves from a long-standing ban on Sunday sales.
University Christian Fellowship is sponsoring a Bible Study at 7 p.m. tomorrow in the ECM. Contact Rick Clock at 841-3148 or www.ucf4u.org.
The court ruled earlier this month that because the provisions of the state's Liquor Control Act — which contains the ban on Sunday sales — do not apply uniformly to all municipalities, cities have home-rule authority to exempt themselves from the statute.
Vratil said Sunday sales and increased liquor taxes, both of which were removed from a bill the Senateniformity bill comes back to the Senate floor.
"A large majority feel uniformity of the Liquor Control Act is necessary," said Sen. John Vratil (R-Leawood). He said the court ruling makes it even more urgent that the Legislature act on the measure.
- The Associated Press
The Senate this week is expected to take another look at a bill to make the state's Liquor Control Act uniform.
Citing the court ruling, lawmakers say it's important to attain uniformity before cities try to opt out of other provisions of the state law, such as the legal drinking age, which is 21.

The absolute highest point in Kansas is called Mt. Sunflower, although it's really more of a hill. While our hills out here in Lawrence are pretty tall, Mt. Sunflower beats them simply because of its high elevation out near Goodland, along the Colorado border. Kansas slopes upward as you travel west.
