SENIORS Announcing Hilltoppers
The Jayhawk Yearbook is happy to announce the Hillipperts. The Hillipperts Awards were established in the 1930s as the Jayhawk's way of recognizing those seniors who have made high culture contributions to the University and/or the Lawrence community and have consistently displayed unselfish leadership in non-academic areas of campus. The awards were reestablished in 1984 in order that outstanding seniors may once again be recognized.
Criteria for selection includes:
—involvement and leadership in campus and community activities
—unselfish service to the camps and community
—respect of the nominee's peers as well as his or her professors
—references that can address the quality of the nominee's work
—a GPA of around 3.0, however grades will not play an extremely important part in the selection
The nominations will be screened by a committee that includes KU faculty, student representatives, and the layhawk staff. Anyone can nominate a senior for this award and seniors can nominate themselves by picking up an application. Nomination forms and applications will be available at the Office of the Vice President, the Vocation Office, 121 B Kansas Union. Deadline for acceptance of nominations is Oct. 19, and the deadline for applications is Nov. 16, 1984.
