Hall of Fame L,Esprit Du Duc annually honors those seniors who have made outstanding contributions to the university, not only in academic achievement, but in extra-curricular service. This year sixteen stu- dents were awarded certificates and named to the Hall of Fame at the first annual Senior Awards Day, sponsored by Student Congress. Nominations were accepted from the deans of the different schools, the heads of departments, and all organizations on campus. Those students receiving more than one nomination were selected as final candidates. Their names and qualifications were submitted to the Student Wfelfare and Special Activities committees and through combined bal- lotting the final sixteen Were chosen. The follow- ing pages are devoted to these students. The purpose of the Hall of Fame is not only to recognize outstanding seniors, but to give Wit- ness to their attitude. Each member has made an active contribution and commitment to Duquesne. No paper certificate nor Words of praise can equal the results which this attitude has already achieved in personal development and influence upon others. If this attitude of self-giving reflects that of the entire university, every student is honored in the Hall of Fame.

,nl fl9.yII1OI1d C. I-Iengelsberg Scholarship, leadership, modesty - ex- cellence in one is rare, and yet, Ray is the epitome of all three. His academic ability gained for him a place on the Dean's List, the scholarship key of Phi Alpha-Theta, and a graduate as- sistantship in history. He amply demon- strated his ability to lead as president of both CCUN and ICC, as an organizer of Student Congress, and as leader of Du- quesne's liberals. After all this, Ray sincerely thought that there were others who were more deserv- ing of membership in the Hall of Fame. Bay is a rare combination, indeed. 1452 Stuart A. Herrington Little wonder that Stu is so well known on campus- his intelligence, personality, and ability to lead are matched by only a few. A political science major and graduating cum laude, he served as Brigade Commander of Army R.O.T.C., president of Scabbard and Blade Fratemity, and as a member of the Ranger Raiders. In addition, he was on the Dean's List, a College Bowl nominee, and a winner of an NDEA three-year scholarship to the University of Florida leading to a Ph.D. in public relations. In recognition of his many contributions, he received the President's Award for Outstanding Achievement in R.O.T.C. and appeared in Whcfs lVh0 Among Students in American Colleges and Universities. 223
