Spring 2007 Wooldridge scholarship ‘family’ continues to grow By Shanxi Upsdell, Shawnee, Kan., junior oger Wooldridge was an only child, but the number of R brothers and sisters in his extended family grows each year. The scholarship in his name has helped his “siblings,” the Wooldridge scholars, earn journalism degrees at the University of Kansas since 1974. His parents, Norris and Helena Wooldridge, created the scholarship as a memorial after his death in 1973. Norris died at age 84 in 1999, and Helena died at age 89 on Jan. 15, 2007. Before she died, Helena spoke in a fi nal interview about Roger and the Wooldridge scholars, whose number reached 140 journalism students in 2006. “They were like an extended family,” she said. “That’s the way I felt about them.” Helena Wooldridge The scholarship has become one of the hallmarks of the Journalism School, providing fi nancial assistance, emotional support and lifetime membership in the Wooldridge family in honor of their son. Roger was born in 1952 and grew up in Kingman on the Wooldridges’ farm. Helena described him as “a real good kid” who “never was a minute’s trouble for us.” “He was a lot like me – he might butt in where he wasn’t supposed to,” she said, laughing. “But he’d do it because he thought he was helping.” In 1970, Roger enrolled at KU and began pursuing a public relations major. After interviewing for an internship in South Dakota in 1973, he started driving back to Lawrence. He was killed when his car crashed in a fi eld near Norfolk, Neb. -

Personalization Guidelines
Personalization Guidelines Purpose Our personalization services are a very important part of the Thirty-One experience. We believe our personalization services set our products and our brand apart. Although we never want to disappoint you or our Customers, there are legal and policy limits to the personalization requests that we will fulfill. These Personalization Guidelines are intended to assist you in: • Helping our Customers understand what personalization requests we cannot fulfill; • Avoiding damage to the Thirty-One brand; • Avoiding the infringement of the trademarks of others; and • Reducing potential legal liability for both Thirty-One and our Customers. Our hope is that these Guidelines will help you to advise Customers of problematic personalization requests when Customers place their orders. Why Can’t Thirty-One Fulfill All Personalization Requests? Legal Reasons There are legal reasons why we cannot fulfill certain personalization requests. Sometimes companies (like Avon or Microsoft), sports teams (like the Cleveland Browns or the Ohio State Buckeyes), and famous people (like Jennifer Lopez) make a filing with the government to register their name, the name of a product (like Apple’s iPad) or a tag line (like Nike’s “Just Do It”). If we fulfill a request to personalize a Thirty-One product with a name or phrase that has been “trademarked,” then there is a risk we could face a legal claim for “trademark infringement.” Trademark infringement can occur when someone uses a name or phrase that causes confusion with someone else’s trademark. Here is an example. The word “Coach” could refer to a sports team’s coach or it could refer to the COACH brand of handbags. -
