Office provides grant advising
Study-abroad grants may be easier to get with proposal help
By Sarah Davis
To help students receive grants to study in a foreign country, a new procedure has been implemented at the KU office of study abroad
Kansan staff writer
Students interested in applying for a Fulbright grant or a KU Direct Exchange grant are required to fill out a pre-proposal form before they complete the actual proposal they plan to submit.
"The University wants the students to get these grants," she said. "What we want in this pre-proposal is that they have thought out these things."
Mary Elizabeth Debicki, director of study abroad, said the office was requiring students to file the new application in advance. "It has not been well advised and had turne
The pre-proposal form asks students to give a one-sentence statement of what they hope to accomplish in their year abroad.
in proposals that were not clearly outlined or understandable.
They also must describe their project - why they need to study in a particular country, what they plan to do and what effect their research
Anne Musser, Lawrence graduate student, applied and wrote her proposal for a Fulbright grant last semester when the new pre-proposal procedures were not in place. She said that because a proposal needed to be well thought out, direction from others would be beneficial.
offer suggestions and advice about ways to improve the proposals.
"It it would be helpful to ask study abroad what makes a good proposal and what doesn't," she said. "The more feedback, the better."
selects students who will receive the grants.
She said the required pre-proposal was beneficial to students.
Linda Stone-Ferrari, associate professor of art history, is one of 15 museum educators in the U.S.
"A poorly written proposal can be damaging," she said. "But it (the new procedure) gives students an opportunity to do some retooling and reworking of their proposal. It gives them a second chance to rewrite."
Interviews for Senate positions conducted
Debiicki said there was a formula to writing a proposal and offered students a chance to learn how. An informational video on the workshop will be given from 3 to 5 p.m. Thursday at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.

Grand jury may decide charges in alleged rape case on Kennedy estate
The Associated Press
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A prosecutor said yesterday he might let a grand jury decide whether to charge William Kennedy Smith in an alleged rape at his family's Palm Beach estate.
"It's a possibility," said Palm Beach County State Attorney David Bludworth. He would not say why he was charged with the uncommon move in such a case.
Police have said it may be weeks before they are ready to present their evidence.
Bludworth said yesterday that he would not decide how to proceed until he had heard all the evidence. He said it could be three more weeks before a decision was made on the allegation by the 29-year-old woman.
Police have identified Smith, a police officer awarded Kennedy, as the prime suspect.
Grand jury testimony is secret and turning the case over to the panel of community members could lessen charges of politically motivated handling. Bludworth has denied such charges.
State law only requires that grand juries hear first-degree murder cases; in other investigations, prosecutors decide whether to make charges directly, dismiss cases or go to a grand jury.
Court records indicate that among unsealed indictments on record, only two sexual battery cases were taken in the past five years, grand jury in the past five years.
Bludworth last week asked a judge
for a ruling on whether he could prosecute news organizations that had identified the woman.
He said yesterday he might cite public interest against identifying rape victims when he argued before a judge on his petition.
"It might be interesting to say that the citizens of Florida have a paramount interest in this issue."
He said all polls he had seen in the past week indicated high majorities against identifying rape victims. Rape is a crime on the increase, Bludworth said, and he thinks identifying victims would deter them from reporting the assaults against them.
The name of the woman allegedly attacked at the Kennedy estate was published in the Globe, a supermarket tabloid, and then was published in The New York Times, Reuters news agency and other news organizations.
The Associated Press has not identified the woman and does not identify rape victims, except in extraordinary cases.
Bludworth said his own research indicated no past court opinions had shown clearly whether the Florida Court restricts First Amendment rights.
He predicted arguments in the case would reach the U.S. Supreme Court.
Bludworth was at an advocates' coalition event marking National Victims' Rights Week, which featured television's anti-crime show host John Walsh.
Five teen-age boys shoot, kill random victim in Dodge City
Only one of the youths fired the shot that struck Romans in the head April 16, but police want all five charged with first-degree murder because all were involved in and knew about the shooting, said Capt. Mary Chambers, chief investigator for the Dodge City Police Department.
The Associated Press
DODGE CITY — To five teenage boys being held in the killing of Bruce Romans, the meat inspector walking home early one morning was only somebody to shoot, the lead investigator in the case said yesterday.
The five, aged 15 through 17, were arrested Saturday night and are being held in the Ford County Detention Center, according to Chambers. All five are juveniles under Kansas law.
Romans, 28, and the youths apparently did not know each other, according to Chambers.
"It wasn't an accidental shooting, but he was a random victim," she said. "They were going to shoot somebody."
She called Romans' killing depressing.
"For them, he was just somebody to shoot," she said.
