30th to Win Award -

Activities Keep Honor Man Busy
Ronald Lee Wigington, engineering senior, is the 30th person to be named Honor Man since the program was started in 1923.
Wigington, a graduate of Topeka High school, entered KU in 1949 with a Summerfield scholarship. In high school he had made straight A's and had been first in a class of more than 600 students. His chief interests in high school were band and orchestra.
The honor is not given every year, but depends on whether an anonymous selection committee feels a worthy candidate is available. Twice, two men have been named to share honors, twice there was no one named, and once the Honor Man was a woman, the only one ever named to honors.
The award was announced by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy at the annual Honors convocation yesterday morning as more than 400 students were honored by the University.
He became acquainted with Dean T. DeWitt Carr of the School of Engineering while still in high school. After talking to the Dean several
As proof that engineers can be more than engineers, Wigington is an outstanding musician and journalist. He has just concluded his term as editor-in-chief of the quarterly Kansas Engineer magazine, for which he had previously been associate editor and feature editor.
times he decided that engineering would be his field at the University.
He is tympanist in the KU band, symphony orchestra, and little symphony, and a member of Phi Mu Alpha, honorary music fraternity.
Wigington currently is president of Tau Beta Pi honorary engineering society; and a member of Sachem, senior men's honor group, and Sigma Pi Sigma, honorary physics society. For his research activities he has been named an associate member of Sigma Xi, national science organization.
Although he has little spare time, Wigington said he does like to "fool around, and do a little swimming and fishing, now and then."
After graduation he will have a research job with the Bell Telephone Research laboratories in the electronic apparatus development division in New Jersey.
