Students awarded for achievements on and off campus
Hilltopper honors given
By Christoph Fuhrmans Kansan staff writer
Margaret Hu, Manhattan senior never expected to accomplish so much at KU.
"It was something I thought I would never receive," she said. "I was surprised, but flattered of course."
The other winners were Kathryn Price, Wichita senior; Kelly Dunkelberger, Woodland Park, Colo.; senior; Tim Dawson, Topeka senior; Brian Anderson, Wichita senior; and Trevor Thompson, Leawood senior.
Hu was one of six students who were named Hilltoper award winners by a selection committee made up of the editors of the last four Jayhawker yearbooks and KU students, staff and faculty members.
Hu is president of Student Union Activities and a member of the board of directors of the Kansas and Burge Unions memorial corporation.
The Hilltopter award began in 1937 as the Hill Headliners. The award was established by the Jayhawker yearbook for KU seniors who displayed excellence in academics and community service.
This year's winners first were nominated by fellow students, after which the nominees sent in an application. The selection committee reviewed each application before making a decision.
Price said she was glad the committee made a decision to select her because she always had looked up to Hiltopper winners.
"I'm really happy that the committee chose me," she said. "I think that it's an honor."
Price is a student senator, head of the student lecture series and a member of the board of directors of the unions corporation.
Sheila Immel, assistant to the dean
of student life, said the winners were chosen from 26 applicants.
"There were some really good candidates," she said. "It was tough."
"It's not just a grade point average," she said. "And it's not just doing a lot of work at KU."
Immel said the winners were selected because of their diverse activities, not just the ones concerning KU.
Ann Eversole, associate dean of student life and director of the organizations and activities center, said there would be a page in the yearbook about each winner.
She said the award demonstrated the academic and social qualities about each winner.
"It's not monetary, but it's recognition by the University community for their accomplishments," she said.
The award winners will be honored at a reception on Jan. 31, 1994, at the Adams Alumni Center. U.S. Circuit Judge Deanell Tacha, former Hilltopter award winner, will speak at the reception.

Leave the fat on the turkey, not you
Don't fast or binge,but enjoy with moderation
By Liz Klinger
Kansan staff writer
Chad Marting, St. Louis sophomore, is one of many KU students who might pick up a couple extra pounds eating home-cooked meals during Thanksgiving break.
But Marting is not worried. He just wants his mom's mashed potatoes
"I have to have mashed potatoes," Marting said. "They're real good the way my mom makes them. If they're not there, I will get mad."
For students concerned that they might take the shape of a turkey after break, Ann Chapman, Watkins dietitian, has some suggestions.
Exercising before the big meal is beneficial to a student's Thanksgiving day agenda, Chapman said. Exercise makes people feel better about their bodies, which in turn makes them more conscious of what they choose to eat, Chapman said.
Moderation is the key to enjoying a holiday meal without going overboard. Fat levels in foods should be used as a guide for

making selections, she said.
"It's pretty hard in the traditional American family to eat a low-fat Thanksgiving meal," Chapman said.
Eating larger servings of foods lower in fat, such as turkey without the skin or plain vegetables, and smaller servings of foods higher in fat, such as pumpkin pie, is a way to prevent weight gain without feeling deprived, Chapman said.
"Take a double serving of turkey and a half-serving of the dressing," she said.
Fasting all day before sitting down to a big Thanksgiving meal causes people to eat two meals instead of one, Chapman said.
"They eat a huge Thanksgiving meal and then collapse on the couch for three or four hours, and at that point, get up and start eating some of the leftovers," she said.
Instead of fasting, students should eat breakfast and a light lunch so they will be hungry rather than famished at dinner time, Chapman said.
Students should skip the foods they normally eat at school, such as rolls served in the residence halls, and enjoy something prepared especially for the occasion, such as mom's famous cherry pie, Chapman said.
Saving up for something homemade is no problem for Dallas O Brien, St. Francis junior.
"Just going from reheated microwave crap that college kids eat to something your mom made is a big change," O'Brien said. "It'll be real food."
After dinner, plates and food should be cleared away promptly so there is no temptation to eat everything in sight, Chapman said.
Students who do overeat should not be
Gobble but don't waddle
Moderation is the key to enjoying a Thanksgiving meal without gaining weight. Eat more of the items that are lower in fat, less of those higher in fat.

overcome with guilt; one meal will not make them gain weight, Chapman said. It is important that a one-night eating binge does not become a six-week eating marathon, she said.
Natalie Bennett, Overland Park sophomore, said she would feel no guilt overeating at Thanksgiving.
"It's Thanksgiving." Bennett said. "You're supposed to eat."
Financial aid application tamed with shorter form
Renewal system would provide options for majority of students
By David Stewart
Kansan staff writer
Some federal financial aid recipients may think they have spent half their lives completing the 130 questions on the standard federal financial aid applications.
The federal government still would require student loan
"Basic information of the student's home address and assets tends not to change," Rademacher said. "The income and the student's outstanding debts each year does change."
But for the first time next year, students who already have applied for federal student loans may be able to cut that list of questions to 30, thanks to the new renewal application for federal aid for the 1994-1995 academic year.
Rachel Rademacher, assistant director for the office of student financial aid, said the renewal applications would give students the option of not having to fill out information that has not changed since their 1993-1994 loan application.
applicants to complete information each year on anticipated date of graduation, gross income and balances on current loans, Rademacher said.
While most of the University's current 13,000 federal aid applicants would qualify to use the new system, Demacherae said that students who have moved may not receive their renewal application.
If they have not notified the financial aid office of their new address, they will not receive the new application because of its confidential nature.
"If it goes to an old address, it does not get forwarded," Rademacher said. "The post office won't forward it, and it will get shredded."
The new application also will allow students to indicate what type of financial aid they want — work-study, student loans or parent loan.
"We're adding this back to the application after we took it off for a few years," Rademacher said. "We give priority consideration to work-study applicants because there are so few positions available."
Work-study aid allows students to pay off their tuition by working at KU. Parent loans, also called PLUS loans, are loans taken out and paid for by the student's parents.
Scrapping that paper work
Students will not receive a duplicate renewal application if they lose their original and should instead complete the standard Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
While the loan renewal application is intended to make applying for federal aid easier, it will still take four to six weeks for the government to review applications and assign loan amounts.

For limited sources of funds such as work-study, Rademacher said she encouraged students to apply for financial aid by March 1, 1994, for aid for the 1994-95 academic year.
But even with the new renewal application, students cannot submit their application until Jan. 1.
After training her staff about the renewal process, Rademacher said she was curious about how the process would work for the students.
"We're interested in how the renewals are going to work," she said. "We're as new to it as the students are."
