Forty-five years ago the tradition ofnaming outstanding students of theUniversity as Kynewisbok Pioneers wasbegun. The award is given annuallyto seniors who, throughout their collegeyears, have shown a strong commitment toimprove both the University andthemselves.Deciding who should receive the awardis always an extremely difficult taskbecause there are so many who madeoutstanding contributions. This year'sPioneers were selected by a representativecommittee of 14 which includedstudents, faculty, and administrators fromall areas of the University. The K-Bookhas no voice in the selection; it actsonly as the media through which thosechosen are recognized.Some are honored because of theircontribution in one specific area, othersbecause of over-all involvement andservice. All, however, share characteristicsof leadership and dedication to theUniversity, and have therefore earnedthe right to be named 1971 KynewisbokPioneers.63
