Subject:		Allen W. Edson Award Nominations


The Functions and Awards Committee requests your nomination for the Allen
W. Edson Award, 
which is presented annually in recognition of a student's total
contribution to campus  life.  The 
award was established in 1960 from funds donated in memory of Allen
W. Edson, superintendent 
of the West Central School of Agriculture from 1948 until his death in
1958, for whom Edson Auditorium  is named.  The award recognizes
outstanding achievement, scholarship, leadership, and character.

The participation of the student in campus activities, his/her executive
service and nature of offices 
held are two of the suggested indications of a student's potential to
receive your nomination.  In 
addition to the name, the Committee requests that you write a brief
substantiation supporting your nominee, citing specific, tangible reasons
for your candidate's consideration.

Please return your nomination by 4:30 p.m. Monday, April 3, to Maggie
Larson, LaFave House.
