Fix this textachievers, must be justifi-
Fix this textably proud.
Fix this textThe 1993 and 1994 Rhodes
Fix this textScholars for NSW have both
Fix this textbeen enrolled in the Faculty
Fix this textand both held Co-op scholar-

Fix this textAttila Brungs, who was
Fix this textnamed the 1994 Rhodes
Fix this textScholar for NSW at a function
Fix this textat Government House last
Fix this textweek, follows in the footsteps
Fix this textof Rebecca Scott who began
Fix this textstudies at Oxford University in
Fix this textOctober as the 1993 Rhodes
Fix this textScholar for NSW.
Fix this textA 21-year-old honours year
Fix this textIndustrial Chemistry student,
Fix this textAttila is the son of Associate
Fix this textProfessor Michael Brungs, a
Fix this textgraduate of UNSW who now
Fix this textworks in the School of Chemi-
Fix this textcal Engineering and Industrial
Fix this textChemistry.
Fix this textAttila is also a product of St
Fix this textIgnatius College, Riverview,
Fix this textwhere he was invited to ad-
Fix this textdress the school assembly last
Fix this textweek following the an-
Fix this textnouncement of his award.
Fix this textWhile he is still coming to
Fix this textterms with the award, he said
Fix this texthe hopes to apply for New Col-
Fix this textlege at Oxford and to read for a
Fix this textDoctor of Philosophy in poly-
Fix this textmer chemistry.
Fix this text“I’ve been conscious of the
Fix this textRhodes Scholarship for many
Fix this textyears and it used to be a joke in
Fix this textthe family that I’d win one
Fix this textday,” he said. “When I got a
Fix this textletter from the Dean of Applied
Fix this textScience, Professor Gerry
Fix this textGovett, asking me to apply, I
Fix this textwent for it to promote science.
Fix this text“The most common species
Fix this textoverseas is the Australian sci-
Fix this textentist who couldn’t get funding
Fix this textat home. There are smart peo-
Fix this textple and a lot of resources going
Fix this textoverseas; it’s a crying shame.
Fix this textI’d like to contribute to make a
Fix this textdifference in the long term by
Fix this textworking in the industry and
Fix this textfrom a policy point of view.”
Fix this textCo-op scholars are required
Fix this textto gain practical experience
Fix this textwith sponsoring companies
Fix this textand Attila is presently in the
Fix this textmiddle of a seven-month stint
Fix this textwith National Starch and
