Vacation moves students
Dennis Quinn, associate professor of English', was presented the 1968 HOPE award during the half-time of the Kansas-Oklahoma game Saturday. Quinn, center, is shown with John Hill, senior class president, and Karen McCarthy, chairman of the HOPE Award Committee, following the announcement of the award.
Trying to locate homes during vacation for approximately 80 foreign students keeps the People-to-People (P-to-P) club's home-stay program busy.
Buffy Barnes, Kenilworth, Ill., junior and chairman of the P-to-P program, said, "Staying with American families is really
good experience for foreign students. It gives them a chance to see our culture and family life first hand."
Because KU residence halls close during vacations, the foreign students are temporarily displaced, Miss Barnes said.
"If any KU student would like
to have a foreign student spend one of the vacations with him, he can notify the P-to-P office in room 104B of the Kansas Union," she said.

Senior class chooses HOPE award winner
Dennis P. Quinn, associate professor of English, has been chosen the 1968 recipient of the HOPE award.
The award, Honor for the Outstanding Progressive Educator, is given annually by KU's senior class.
At half-time of the KU-OU game, when Quinn was announced the HOPE winner, he received an engraved plaque, $300, honorary membership in the senior class and class of '69 regalia.
Karen McCarthy, Kansas City senior and chairman of the HOPE award committee, said the committee decided to present the award in the fall, rather than in the spring as had been the tradition, so the recipient could be acknowledged the entire year.
"By presenting the HOPE award on Senior Day, I thought we would give the day some purpose, the recipient could have the award the whole year
and most of the senior class would be at the game for the presentation," Miss McCarthy explained.
Quinn was selected from eight finalists. During enrollment, seniors submitted names of possible candidates. The HOPE award committee chose the eight faculty members receiving the most nominations from over 100 suggested candidates.
Each of the eight finalists was interviewed and asked what they, as progressive educators, would do to improve KU. Their response plus a short biography was listed on the voting ballot. Seniors made the selection at their class coffee on Nov. 7.
Quinn, who is also director of Pearson College, a college-within-a-college, is developing a humanities program which will combine history, philosophy and English into one course. He believes this will draw together relevant subjects so students can see some relation between their courses.
