77 Nominated for Citation
By CANDY HERBERT
Kansan Staff Writer
A total of 77 persons have been nominated to receive the University of Kansas Aulani Distinguished Service. Citation, Dick Wintormer; executive director of Alumni Association, said recently.
The citations, which are the highest awards given by the University, are presented at commencement exercises to KU students. There is recognition of our outstanding achievements, Wintermorte said.
The Alumni Association also grants Honorary Alumnus standing to each nonalumni citee.
A secret committee made up of nine alumni and two KU faculty members, based on the life career of the ninners rather than upon single incidents or deaths, provided posthumous citations are given.
WINTERMOTE SAID OTHER criteria for selection included good citizenship, significant contributions to the community, and humanitarian services to outside a chosen career.
Nominations may be made by any interested person. From the nomination committee, a alumni and two nasilumni may be chosen as citation recipients by the committee, which begins with the following winter, Wintermate explained.
Biographical material on each nominee, compiled by the Alumni Association, is available to the committee members at
their first meeting," he said.
WINTERMOTE SAID many persons had been nominated for several years before receiving a citation.
"The committee then supplements this material with individual research and information organizations and voluntary organizations with which the nominee is associated (cities." Wintermorte said.
Wintermote also said 15 of the 77 candidates were nonalumni.
"Of the 77 nominees proposed this year, 47 have been confirmed and are completely new nominees," he said. "They are newly new nominees." he said.
Wintermute also said 15 of the 72 students who registered for the most *national* nominees usually are associated or have been selected. In other words, University in some way, although the selection rules do not specify such an association as a mere preference.
The recognition program, started in 1941 by the Alumni Association, began recognizing nonalumini in 1969. Wintermote said it did so because people realized there were individuals with disabilities who had made outstanding contributions to society but were not KU alums.
"individuals, whether alumni or nonalumni," he said, "should be recognized if they have made a meaningful contribution to the University—I am—the University, the state of Kansas or the Midwest."
THE TRUE STRENGTH of the program, Winnertime said, is in getting as many people as possible interested so that they will make nominations. In that way, the committee has a wide pool of candidates can award citations to only the best candidates available.
