Three students nominated for Truman Scholarship
The University of Kansas has nominated three students for the 2004 Truman Scholarship.
The nominees are Elizabeth Franklin, Cedar Falls, Iowa junior; Shannon Portillo, Lake Quivira senior; and Christopher Wiles, Leavenworth senior.
John Gronbeck-Tedesco, director of the University Honors Program, said these students had demonstrated the excellence necessary to be considered for this award.
"They have a record of volunteering at the local level; they have a record of mainstream political activism," Gronbeck-Tedesco said.
The scholarships are worth up to $26,000 and are awarded each year to college students around the country who are preparing for leadership in public service.
Of the 600 candidates named nationwide, a committee will select 200 to be finalists. Once the finalists are named, regional panels will reduce that number to about 75 or 80.
Criteria for earning the scholarship include leadership potential, intellectual ability and the likelihood of making a difference. As part of the application, candidates must offer their solution to a public policy issue.

Multiple false security alarms could lead to prosecutions
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Fed up with the time wasted responding to thousands of false security alarm calls each year, city prosecutors have started taking the worst violators to court.
Five homeowners appeared last week in municipal court for ignoring repeated notices to pay fines the city imposes on home and business owners who rack up more than three false alarms in a year. The cases mark the first time the city has resorted to prosecution.
But it won't be the last time, said Julie Bahr-Kostelac, the alarm coordinator for the city's police department. As many as 20 more residents or businesses are expected to be charged with violating the ordinance within the next month, she said.
Responding to a false alarm typically takes two officers off the street for about an hour because they must check out the property and fill out paperwork, said city prosecutor Tony Russo.

Two students accused the University Theatre of alleged discrimination during the casting of the musical Hair. The University Human Relations Committee approved a subcommittee to investigate the allegations. The subcommittee said in its report the theatre department should "balance their desire to offer an 'artistic concept' with the responsibility of the University to offer an equal education to all students of the University.

"True it is disappointing to go through a season with as few victories as Kansas has obtained this year..but it would have been far better that Kansas had never won a single game if we are to take defeat in the manner that a great many men at the game last night displayed," the author said.

Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper To Benefit Jubilee Cafe
Tuesday, February 24
5-7 pm
At the ECM Building
(1204 Oread - Across from
the Yello Sub)
Shrove Tuesday, the eve of Lent--also known as Mardi Gras (literally "Fat Tuesday" in French), Carnival (from the Latin for "Farewell to the flesh"), and Fasnacht (the Germanic "night of the fast")--is derived from the word "shrive" which means to confess.
The tradition in the church of having pancake suppers and the ocular tradition of just plain partying probably derives from the practice of feasting before the fast.
