Oread Bookshop Saturday in the Kansas Union. "There's a connection that people get with radio that they don't get from TV," Stamberg said. "People feel that they know you, and they always want to put a face with the voice." Stamberg started her career in print journalism at the New Republic when she found a job at a nearby public radio station. She was one of the pioneers of NPR, on staff since the network's inception in 1971. She served as co-host of the award-winning show All Things Considered for 14 years and has won every major award in broadcasting, culminating with her induction into the Radio Hall of Fame in 1996. "Susan Stamberg was the first reporter at NPR with real mass appeal," said Art Hadley, a producer/engineer at All Things Considered and Morning Edition for several years. "She was the first proof that NPR could have stars." Stamberg was in the area with fellow NPR personality Scott "It was really great to have them here," said Kathryn Wiese, KANU's director of development. "People feel so connected to them, and to have them come to Lawrence to talk to our listeners one-on-one gives them some idea of how personal public radio should be." Simon to help start KANU's fundraising season. TALK, published in 1993 and reissued a year later, is a collection of interviews, essays and commentary collected during Stamberg's 25-year radio career. "I think of it as an oral history of what happened in the country and the world over the last two decades," Stamberg said. Stamberg is renowned for her interviews and has interviewed more than 20,000 people, including Nancy Reagan, Spike Lee and Rosa Parks. "Dior put out his first collection in 1947," Stamberg said. "And he was working in Paris during World War II. The interviews aren't so much a story of fashion as they are a social history of postwar Paris." Of all her interviews, Stamberg said her recent series with fashion designer Christian Dior had been among the most enjoyable. She said that even in light of the recent funding problems with public radio, she considers it to be a medium that will remain influential, noting that NPR has more than 500 member stations and is growing constantly. Susan Stamberg, a personality on the National Public Radio show All Things Considered, shares a laugh with a fan. Stamberg was in town for a book signing Saturday at the Mt. Oread Bookshop and visited KU as a fund-raiser for KANU. John Head/ KANSAN the medium of the imagination," Stamberg said. "But the pictures are always better on radio, and the future is bright." KU's international enrollment down By Umut Bayramoglu Kansan staff writer The number of new international students at the University of Kansas who enrolled for the spring semester was about 25 percent of the number who enrolled last fall. Gerald Harris, director of International Student Services, said that about 100 new international students enrolled this semester, as opposed to the 400 new students in August. "We usually have less students coming in for spring semester than in fall," Harris said. "But this year, spring enrollment seems slightly fewer than in the past." In the last five years, Harris said that the average of new international students coming to the University for the spring semester had been between 120 and 135. "Except for the high-profile institutions, this decline is typical among other state schools in the nation," he said. The majority of international students that have enrolled for the spring semester are either transfer students or graduate students, Harris said. "We don't get as many undergraduates in the spring because most programs don't let them start until fall," he said. Allan Flores, Honduras sophomore, said he had been living in Lawrence for the last two years and going to Johnson County Community College for his major requirements. "I came to Lawrence because I heard that it is a very good studying environment," he said. Despite the fact that Flores has lived in Lawrence for two years, he said he still was going through an adjustment period. "KU is a little bit too big, too crowded compared to juco," he said. Rabih Baddoura, Qatar freshman, said he came to the University to study mechanical engineering because he did not think there were any good universities in his home country. In the spring semester, Harris said that homesickness was less of a problem, probably because the students are older or have been in the country longer. To remedy the decline in international students, Harris said he was emphasizing recruitment this year. Leadership change easy for scholarship center By Kevin Bates Kansan staff writer Alan Cerveny, director of admissions for the University of Kansas, knew that he would not be overwhelmed when he was named acting director of the University Scholarship Center. Cerveny said that because his office and the scholarship center had worked so closely together, he neither expected nor had problems with his new responsibilities. "The people at the scholarship center are committed, and I think there is clear and dedicated support there," Cerveny said. Martha Ruel, former University Scholarship Center director, said the interim selections were excellent. Ruel left the scholarship center Dec. 16, when she was named assistant vice chancellor for student affairs. "Alan's had a similar experience at James Madison, where he worked with a scholarship center." Ruel said. "I think the whole transition has been outstanding." Cerveny said the strength of the center was due to Ruel's hard work and that the center would continue to look to Ruel for advice. "In this situation, the great thing is that Marti's still in the building. She's good with providing information and assistance." Cerveny said that he looked forward to working with his new staff. "I have the benefit of working with some great people," Cerveny said. "There are a lot of savvy people in that office that already know what's going on. I'm depending on them." The scholarship center accepts applications for University scholarships. These scholarships are aimed at freshmen, but other awards go to upperclassmen, such as departmental awards. Some of the awards the center gives out to freshmen are the Chancellor's Club, Summerfield and Watkins-Berger, Freshman Honor and Whittaker KU Leadership awards. All of the awards are based on grades and leadership excellence.
