KU honor students may get own floor
By Christine Reinolds Carson staff writer
McCollum Hall chosen for its diversity
Student housing officials and the College Honors Program are working to establish the first honors floor at the University of Kansas beginning August 1990.
The honors floor, to be in McColum Hall, will consist of 40 male and 40 female freshmen who have been admitted into the program. Students are admitted by an application process that includes their grade point averages, test scores, and awards, said Sharon Brehm, director of the program.
More than 1,000 students are in the honors program, 250 of whom are freshmen. Freshmen who ask to live on the honors floor next year will be accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. Brehm said.
In order to remain in the honors program and on the floor, students will be required to maintain a GPA of 3.25.
Deb Stafford, assistant director of resident life, said special programs offered to those living on the floor included faculty advisers, undergraduate research opportunities and advisement in course selection.
"It is our intention for students to have a strong international background," she said.
One of the programs being developed for the floor is Faculty Fellows. This is a freshmen honors tutorial where faculty advisers aid students and interact with them on a more personal level, as an academic, associate director of housing.
Stafford said McCollim was chosen because of the many internas-
Brehm said the program would make an effort to be diverse by
accommodating minority students.
McEhlenie said a multi-culture perspective could be achieved by language tables.
These will be designated tables in the McCollim cafeteria, where students will be required to speak the language they are enrolled in.
McElhene said he did not foresee any problem of honor students becoming isolated from the rest of the residence hall.
The Ellsworth program is an orientation program for freshmen on the 10th floor of Ellsworth Hall aimed at helping them make a smooth transition into the University setting.
"In the 'Experience Excellence in Ellsworth' program there was a bit of distancing at first, but the students were so involved and organized on their floor there was no problem," he said.
Jennifer Yarrow, Houston freshman in the honors program, said the honors floor would be good for students to attend with others of the same intelligence.
"I live on the fourth floor of McColum and have not had any problem with the diversity of people," she said.
"An honors floor would be limiting and there's a lot more to life than being around intellectuals all the time," he said.
McEllenie said the honors and Ellsworth programs were developed to keep students at KU and in school.
"Most students don't just flunk out, they don't see them they don't feel involved," he said.
Bush calls on Congress to boost NASA budget
The Associated Press
NASA would be authorized to spend $14.1 billion in the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1, an increase of $2.1 billion more than this fiscal year.
WASHINGTON — President Bush asked Congress yesterday to increase NASA's 1991 budget by 17.5 percent, including money for a start on his plan to send astronauts back to the moon and, later, to Mars.
The space agency's spending authority — different from the one-year budget in that authority includes money for projects that wouldn't be completed and paid for until later years — would rise by 24 percent, from $12.3 billion to $15.1 billion.
The president's request to Congress "demonstrates the administration's continued strong support for NASA and the civil space station," NASA administrator Richard H. Trually said in a prepared statement.
"It reflects the president's belief that investment in space yields substantial benefits — vastly expanding scientific knowledge, developing valuable new technology and, most important, lifting the dreams, imagination and spirit of our nation."
A major beneficiary would be the manned space station, which the United States hopes to have in orbit late in the decade. Authority for the station would increase from $1.7 billion to about $3 billion. Moves from design to the fabrication stage. The first construction flight is scheduled for the spring of 1995.
If approved by Congress, the space budget would pay for starting the so-called "Mission to Planet Earth," an ambitious program to study the Earth's environment using satellites
Last July, on the 20th anniversary of man's first landing on the moon, the president set a goal of having the United States return to the moon and then to begin manned exploration of Mars early in the next century.
The budget request reflects the first steps toward that goal in a $179 million authority item for "exploration technology," which includes $4.5 million for lunar and Mars science, and $11 million for nuclear propulsion studies.
and instruments.
The budget request includes $661 million in spending authority to study the Earth, including money to start two polar-orbiting platforms, the first of which would be launched in 1998. It also would initiate the development of Earth probes, a series of smaller instruments focused on specific, high-priority data needs, including ozone depletion. The first would be launched in 1994.
Bush's proposal also envisions development of two new robotic missions, the Lunar Observer and Life-sat. The latter would be a series of reusable satellites designed to carry living specimens into orbit and be returned to Earth for analysis.
The National Aero-Space Plane, a joint NASA and Air Force project, would receive a total $277 million in spending authority. An additional $129 million in joint funds is proposed for developing a new family of launch vehicles.
NASA had planned a record 10 flights in calendar 1990 but had to postpone one because of delays in flying the recent satellite retrieval mission and a delay in the anticipated spring launch of the Hubble Space Telescope.
