KU awards recognize hard work of seniors
By TAD CLARKE Staff Reporter
The reward for good grades could be more than just pats on the back from mom and dad and a 40 grade point average on a report card. For a few students, it means receiving some extra cash and having their names placed on plaques in the Kansas Union.
Four awards are given each year to outstanding seniors graduating from the University of Kansas. They are the Agnes Wright Strickland Award, the Donald K. Alderson Memorial Award and the Class of 1913 Award, which honors a graduating senior male and female.
Another award, the Rusty Leffel Concerned Student Award, is given to a student, not necessarily a graduating senior, who has shown concern for furthering the ideals of KU and of higher education
THE CHANCELLOR'S Student Awards Committee selects the recipients for most of the awards. Chancellor selects the members for most of the Leafed angel.
The committee is composed of three students, two faculty members, the dean of student life, the director of the Organizations and Activities Center, the director of University Relations and one member from the University of Kansas Alumni Association, the Kansas University Endowment Association and the office of minority affairs.
Ann Eversole, director of the Organizations and Activities Center, said many criteria were used to select the winners.
"We try to review the material carefully," Eversole said. "We try to select a person who conveys the spirit of each of the awards."
The Strickland award was established in 1953 in memory of Agnes Wright Strickland, a member of the class of 1887. A life membership to the Alumni Association, valued at $500, is given to the recipient.
WHEN CHOOSING the winner of the Strickland award committee
members usually look at the nominees academic records, leadership in University activities and respect among fellow students. Eversole also said the award was given to students who were well known in the campus community.
The 1913 award goes to a graduating senior male and to a graduating senior female. Eversole said the committee primarily looked at the nominees academic records for this award. The two recipients each receive $500.
The Alderson award is presented to a graduating senior who has demonstrated interest in the University and who also has been involved in student activities. The award was established in 1983. The recipient receives $250.
THE LEFFEL AWARD was established in the spring of 1973 to honor Rusty Leffel. The award is given to any student who has made a contribution toward furthering the goals of higher education at the University.
Rusty Lefley was an undergraduate student who tried to enhance KU's image with the Kansas Legislature, the state of Kansas and KU alumn. The recipient receives $500.
Eversole said anyone could nominate students for the awards. The deadline for this year's awards was April 10. Once the committee members receive the nominations, they ask the nominated students for contributions of their involvement and contributions made to the KU community.

About to students usually complete the applications for each of the five awards. Eversole said. The company also offers the winners from those applicants.
The pool of nominees most of the time are "quite extraordinary." Eversole said. She said that not every student needed to have a 4 GPA to win, but that a high one was favored.
Eversole said the recipients for the awards came from across the curriculum, ranging from chemistry and pre-med to history and philosophy students. Some are double or triple majors.
