1986 Hill topper The honor of Hilltopper is the IAYHAWKERS way of recognizing those KU seniors who have consistently displayed excellence in all fields. The Hilltopper Awards were established in the 1930's, and those chosen were originally called Hill Celebrities, Campus Personalities, or Interesting In- dependents. Between 1974 and 1983, the Hilltopper Award was non-exis- tent. The award was reestablished in 1984 in order that outstanding seniors could once again be recognized. Characteristics of Hilltoppers include outstanding scholastic records, re- sponsible leadership in campus organizations and living groups, and un- selfish service to the University and! or Lawrence community. Applications from any KU senior, or from someone nominating a senior were considered by the Hilltopper Selection Committee. The committee had the difficult task of drawing the thin line between above average and out- standing performance. This year the selection committee consisted of eight KU facultyfstaff members, six University students representing campus organizations, the former Editor of the IAYHAWKER lGary Gruverl, and the current Editor and Business Manager of the IAYHAWKER. The facultyfstaff members were professor Alan Cigler lPolitical Sciencej, Professor Beth Schultz lEng- lishl, Teaching Assistant Robin Arbuckle fCommunicationsJ, Professor Arno Knapper fBusinessJ, Professor Iohn Broholm lBroadcast Newsj, Pro- fessor Dennis Karpowitz lPsychologyl, IAYHAWKER Advisor Pat Kehde, and Director of Organizations and Activities, Ann Eversole. Students on the committee were Keith Ott lOwl Societyl, Mary Beth Bauer lAll Scho- larship Hall Councill, Mary Kelly fStudent Senatej, Traci Olds lPanhellen- icl, Charles Watson fBlack Student Unionj, and Harlow Schmitt lMortar Boardj. The 1986 IAYHAWKER is proud to honor the following seven seniors who have given their time and talent to the University of Kansas. These seven students have extended their realm of collegiate endeavors and are among the best in the 1986 Senior Class. I I Pho 09

Sylvia anders For Sylvia Sanders, being a 1986 Hilltopper means making the most of her experiences at KU in an effort to prepare her for a role as a useful and productive member of society. Sylvia's involvement with the Uni- versity is abundant. She has served as Co-Secretary for Mortar Board, President of Sellards Scholarship Hall, and played the violin in the KU Symphony Orchestra. Sylvia has also been a University Scholar, a member of Lambda Sigma, and a Watkins Berger Scholar. She has received the College Honors Program Research A- ward, the Biochemistry Department Undergraduate Re- search Award, the SCORMEBE Engineering Scholar- ship, the Freshman Engineering Scholarship, and the CRC Press Freshman Chemistry Award. As President of Sellards Scholarship Hall, Sylvia or- ganized hall committees, served on the All Scholarship Hall Council, and corresponded with the University. Sylvia was chosen as the outstanding woman of Sellards Hall last year. In addition to serving as Pregi. dent of Sellards, Sylvia was on the halls advisory board, and selected as a proctor for the hall. Ag proctor, she assigned jobs to residents, assigned roomates, settled disputes and reported maintenance problems. She also was involved in an independent re- search project in Biochemistry. Sylvia believes the principal purpose of the University of Kansas is to provide for all its students the opportunity to learn in both a formal and an informal manner. Sylvia summed up her thoughts on being chosen as a Hilltopper, The advantage of attending a large university is the oppor- tunity for student leadership and involvement in various activities. Thus, I have attempted to remain as tive in the KU environment. 1 Io.
