The board includes key university administrators, secondary school administrators and executives from major corporations.
The corporation conducts two major academic competitions for college undergraduate scholarships. The National Merit Scholarship Program, which was started in 1905, awarded 6,200 scholarships in 1989.
The University of Kansas has been a National Merit Scholarship sponsor since 1972 and has underwritten 551 scholarships.
RAWSON LEAVING KU: Tom Rawson, KU associate vice chancellor for administration and finance, has been named vice president for administration and finance at Kansas State University, effective Feb. 18.
A native of Manhattan and a graduate of Concordia High School, Rawson will return to his alma mater, where he received three degrees.
Before being named to his position at the University of Kansas, Rawson served a total of 13 years as research officer and director of planning and budget for the Kansas Board of Regents.
Judith Ramaley, KU executive vice chancellor, said no formal search committee had been formed to replace Rawson.
GOAAM WILL RETIRE: Clark Coan, director of the Office of Foreign Student Services and associate dean of student life, will retire in June 1990.
Caryl K. Smith, associate vice chancellor for student affairs and dean of student life, said a search committee had been appointed to replace Coan.
Coan, who earned three degrees from the University, joined the staff as director of foreign services in 1967. Before working on his doctorate at KU and joining the Office of the Dean of Men, Coan taught social studies at Lawrence High School.
He has served as president of the National Association for Foreign Student Affairs and received its regional Distinguished Service Award last fall.

ASSOCIATION HONORS PROFESSOR:
ASSOCIATION HONORS PROFESSOR:
Jacqueline Davis, director of the Concert,
Chamber Music, and New Directions Series at
the University of Kansas, was elected to a
two-year term as president of the Association
of Performing Arts Presentes on Dec.
Davis was elected at the group's annual
conference in New York City. She has been an active member of the association for 10 years. During the past two years, she was vice president of the organization, and she served on the board of directors from 1984—87.
There are more than 1,600 artists, managers and presenters from the United States and Canada in the association. The group provides technical and informational resources for members and promotes the development of the performing arts.
development Davis has been the director of the performing arts series at KU since 1979. She is responsible for booking artists for the series, fundraising and the caretaking of visiting artists.
KU DEBATERS SECOND: University of Kansas debaters are ranked second in the nation, according to a poll released by the American Forensics Association during winter break.
the poll ranked Baylor University first. The University of Southern California was ranked third, the University of Texas, fourth, and George Mason University, fifth.
Last year the KU debaters were ranked fifth.
Team member Jeremy Phillips, a Goddard sophomore, said the year-end national tournament, not the rankings, determined the best teams in the country.
The tournament, which will be held in April at West Georgia University, includes the top 32 teams in the nation, Phillips said.
AUDIO-READER EXPANDS: The Audio-Reader Network, a closed-circuit radio reading network based at the University of Kansas, has expanded service into the Kansas City, Mo, area and has discontinued reading the Kansas City Star.
Audio-Reader is a radio network for the visually and physically handicapped. It uses volunteers to produce daily broadcasts of newspapers, magazines and books.
On Jan. 1, Audio-Reader began providing programming services for AudioVision of radio station KCUR, the public radio service of the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
"We send our signal to KCUR and they broadcast it on their subcarrier signal," said Janet Campbell, operations manager of Audio-Reader.
Audio
She said KCUR would have the opportunity to do independent programming that would be of interest to its listeners.
The network operates on a subcarrier system, which a regular radio cannot pick up, Campbell said. The network provides a free, special receiver to pick up the broadcasts to people who have difficulty reading printed material.
On Jan. 1, Audio-Reader also began reading the Wichita Eagle in place of the Kansas City Star.
Campbell said that the network must make programming changes a month in advance, so when the Star and Times announced their merger, the network decided to broadcast the Eagle in the evening.
KU PHONES FUNCTIONAL: Monday's massive breakout of the American Telephone & Telegraph Co.'s long-distance phone network left the University of Kansas virtually unaffected, said the director of KU's telecommunications services.
She said the University's administration was not affected because the offices were on campus.
"We received two or three complaints from student long-distance users," said director Jan Weller. "There's been no backlog of complaints."
The breakdown, the largest in AT&T's history, affected about half of all long-distance calls made Monday afternoon and evening. AT&T has promised to compensate users by reducing rates on an unspecified date in the future.
KC company gives $10 million to support research on aging
Kansan staff writer
By Carol B. Shiney
Officials from Marion Merrrell Dow Inc. announced last week that the company had made $10 million available to the University of Kansas and the University of Missouri-Kansas City to support the development of a regional center to research diseases related
"The University of Kansas looks forward to working with colleagues at the University of Missouri-Kansas City and Marion Merrell Dow to achieve the important goals of this new center of excellence in health science education and research related to diseases of the aging." Chancellor Gene A. Budd said in
a-prepared statement.
The project will begin this year with the financing of eight post-doctoral fellships. Six fellships will be established at each of the universities' schools of medicine, pharmacy and basic life sciences. Two fellships are for open competition among doctoral pharmacy graduates.
The six fellowships will be $30,000 for the first year and $35,000 for the second year, beginning in July of 1990.
The fellowships will support research of diseases of the heart, kidney and immune system.
Budig said in the statement that the first post-doctoral fellows would be selected by the departments of pharmacy practice, pharmacology and toxicology, microbiology, and the School of Medicine.
Marion Merrell Dow Inc., a Kansas City based company, was founded in December 1989 through the combination of Marion Laboratories Inc. and Merrill Dow Pharmaceuticals.
