Science fiction story wins 2000 Steuber Prize

Chemical Engineering major Constantine Khripin won the 2000 Steuber Prize for Excellence in Writing. His story entitled "Cathedral of Marble Strands" explores life and death in a virtual world. Khripin won $5,000 in prize money. Second place and $3,000 went to Thomas Drew for "Engineered Art," a paper exploring art and engineering in the design and construction of bridges. A tie for third place awarded $1,000 to each writer. They are Sean Weitner for his paper "Morris Fuller Benton: Faces of the American Spirit" and Charles Christenson for "Redefining Progress".

The prize is sponsored by William Steuber, a UW-Madison alumnus. The contest is now in its ninth year. The winning papers will be available in May on the contest's website: tc.engr.wisc.edu/steuber.
