KU SPRING GRADUATE RECEIVES 1999 BETTY WAHLSTEDT AWARD

LAWRENCE - A University of Kansas May 1999 graduate from Olathe has been selected as the Betty Wahlstedt Award winner for 1999.

Daniel Christopher Pugh received the $1,000 award. Pugh is the son of Charles Pugh, 13620 S. Walnut View, Olathe.

Pugh received a bachelor's degree in anthropology and plans to attend graduate school at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He intends to pursue a doctorate in anthropology, with a focus in archaeology, while investigating prehistoric economic systems and trade relationships.

The award is given to a graduating senior in the social sciences who is planning to continue his or her professional education. Candidates are evaluated on the basis of their scholarship and professional potential.

The award was established by family and friends of Betty Wahlstedt following her death in 1966. She was a psychologist in St. Paul, Minn., and a 1947 KU alumna, who had been working on a doctorate at the University of Minnesota when she died.

The award fund is administered by the Kansas University Endowment Association.
