Hall of Fame to begin
Women's Week Honors Night planned
This year's Honors Night, the main event of Women's Week at the University of Kansas, has been planned as an evening beneficial to everyone who attends. Those in charge are trying to make the event on Monday more than an awarding of honors, said Cheryl Burnet, Oklahoma City Okla., senior and chairman of the event.
Honors Night is traditionally a spring evening event when KU women are recognized by their peers for outstanding work in the University, Miss Burnet said. The announcement of selections for Mortar Board, CWENS, outstanding women of the living groups and the Outstanding Senior will be made.
This year the first entry into the 1970 Women's Hall of Fame will be announced. The Hall of Fame will consist of teachers and alumnae who have done outstanding work with regard to the University, Miss Burnet said.
Sheila Tobias, assistant to the vice-president for academic affairs at Cornell University, will be the featured speaker at Honors Night. She has been employed as the "English Press Chief" for the Free Democratic Party in Bonn, Germany, a feature reporter for the "American Weekend" in Frankfort, Germany, and a free lance researcher for NET television and ABC-TV. While working for ABC she was concerned with race relations in the United States and England.
Miss Tobias organized a four-day conference on women at Cornell in 1968 with 50 speakers and more than 1,500 in attendance. She founded the National Organization of Women (NOW) and inspired the formulation of the course "Evolution of Female Personality" at Cornell.
During the crisis at Cornell University last spring, Miss Tobias wrote that she took unofficial leadership of a group of students and faculty who wished to rebuild the university equitably and to consider a new form of university governance. Throughout the years at Cornell, Miss
KU professor to be honored
A. Byron Leonard, professor of physiology, cell biology, systematics and ecology at the University of Kansas, and former chairman of the zoology department, will be honored during graduation ceremonies at the Universidad de Oriente in Cumana, Venezuela this week.
Leonard will bestow diplomas in biological sciences to the 1970 graduating class at the university. Students receiving the degrees will be called graduates of the A. B. Leonard Class of 1970 in biology.
The naming of a graduating class after a person is one of the highest honors the Universidad de Oriente bestows. Dr. Leonard will also receive an even higher honor, an honorary doctorate.
