Senior Committee Asks HOPE Award Semi-Finalists
Interviews are now being held with 15 faculty members and administrators chosen as semi-finalists for the HOPE Award, an annual award presented to the outstanding faculty member chosen by the senior class.
Derek Shafer, Arkansas City senior and member of the selection committee, said Thursday night that five finalists would be chosen after the interviews had been completed. Those five will be introduced at the senior breakfast, Oct. 17, and the seniors will vote for the winner. The award will be presented at the football game that afternoon.
Shafer said interviews were being held in the evening so committee members could talk to the semifinalists outside of the school environment. He said the interviews lasted between one and two hours.
The committee, Shafer said, was trying to work out a method of selection that would balance the selection of a winner between the judgment of committee members and the votes cast by eligible seniors.
A willingness to help students, success in encouraging and stimulating students in thinking, contributions to KU cultural life and excellence in
the field of higher education would be used as criteria in judging the nominees, Shafer said.
Semi-finalists for the award are: Ronald T. Boland, lecturer in social welfare; E. Laurence Chalmers Jr., chancellor; Earl S. Huyser, professor of chemistry; Glenn L. Johnson, assistant professor of business administration; David Katzman, acting assistant professor of history; Arno F. Knapper, assistant professor of business administration; James L. Koevenig, assistant professor of botany and biology; William M. Lucas, assistant professor of architecture and urban design; Felix Moos, professor of anthropology; James S. Ralston, teaching assistant in choral music; Jan Roskam, assistant professor of aerospace engineering; Robert Shelton, acting assistant professor of religion; Laurence A. Sherr, assistant professor of business administration; Alfonso Verdu, assistant professor of philosophy; and Lee Young, associate dean of the School of Journalism.
Members of the selection committee are: David Steen, Wichita, chairman; Pat Costello, Marion; Sue Bick, Shawne Mission; Carol Bahr, Riley; and Derek Shafer, Arkansas City. All are seniors.
Need for Graduate Student Aid In Social Action Discussed
John Blubaugh, professor of speech, and Mike Sears, Kansas City graduate student, spoke about graduate student involvement in social action at a speech colloquium Wednesday night in the Big Eight Room of the Kansas Union.
Blubaugh said the program would involve three areas: the training of Negro businessmen in Kansas City, Kan.; the Franklin County project, a multi-phase project to advise on such subjects
as sewage disposal, and a suburban involvement program in racial education.
Blubaugh asked graduate students in the speech department for help with the third project.
According to a hand-out given to all who attended the meeting, "the Suburban Involvement in Racial Education program is a racial awareness training program for selected white residents of Johnson County, Kan."
The purpose of the program is
to "promote racial understanding" by providing an educational training program for community leaders in Johnson County.
Sears explained that there was a need for 10 people—he asked for 10 interested people in the speech department—who would be willing to work in the program.
The three programs are being subsidized by a federal grant of $100,000.
The Suburban Involvement program is being developed by the Community Development Center, Division of Continuing Education at KU.

Conference Discusses Indian Education Plan
Representatives of four schools in the Bureau of Indian Affairs met in Lawrence this week and agreed on a plan of educational cooperation, Wallace Galluzzi, Haskell superintendent, said Thursday.
The four schools, the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, the Southwestern Poli-Tech Institute in Albuquerque, the Chilocco Indian School in Chiloico, Okla. and Haskell, also agreed to a program of faculty exchange.
"We tried to make it so that if a student attends one of the four schools and wants to study something not offered in his school, he could go to another school which did offer it," Gallucci said.
"In the past," Galluzi said, "a student would apply for admission and have to go through many different steps." Now both the student and the administration
Another problem discussed was admission procedures.
will have their answers quicker, he said.

"The strength of our curriculum at Haskell is that it is comprehensive," he said. "A student can take so many options."
Haskell is the largest of the four schools, with about 1100 students. The others average about 500.
