HOPE Nominating to Open
By Rosalie Jenkins
Seniors will be able to nominate any full time professor of their choice for the annual Honors for Outstanding Progressive Educators Award, beginning Mar. 1 through March 29.
Fred Slicker, Tulsa, Okla., senior and chairman of the senior committee selecting the outstanding professor from these nominations, said that any senior can fill out an application with their choice and return it to the Alumni Office, 129 Strong.
The award, established by the graduating class of 1959, is presented to the faculty member who made the greatest contribution to his or her students during the past school year. The judging criteria for this award are the professor's;
- Willingness to help students.

- Success in stimulating and challenging his students to think.
- Contribution to general cultural life of the University.
- Devotion to his profession.
- Publications and creative work although this is not considered to the same degree as are the other criteria.
The members of the Hope Award committee were selected last May by the senior class officers, but Slicker said that the committee is being expanded to include an outstanding senior from each of the undergraduate schools.

Bill Introduced For Communism Teaching
TOPEKA, Kan. — (UPI) — The teaching about Communism in public schools would be required under the terms of a bill introduced Monday in the Kansas Senate.

will be announced in about a week, he said.
"We have received about four selections since Friday, but I'd rather wait until all new members are known." Slicker explained.
The committee is currently functioning and will soon begin research researching the professors who are nominated by the seniors as to how well they fit the judging criteria.
Slicker also said that his committee's selection of the professor will
be announced sometime in late April at a senior coffee.
THE HOPE AWARD is the only campus award given to a faculty member by KU students. Last year's winner was James A. Sterritt, associate professor of architecture. Along with a $100 bonus, Prof. Sterritt was also given a desk set.
This cash award is part of the interest on $2,500 presented as part of the senior gift of 1959 to establish the Hope Award.
