5.     FOUR HONORED FOR SERVICE TO ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

        Three Lexington men and an Atlanta, Ga., woman have received
Alumni Service Awards from the University Alumni Association. They
are: Hampton C. Adams Sr., president of Carey-Adams, Inc., a con-
tracting firm; Robert H. Hillenmeyer, partner in Hillenmeyer Nurs-
eries, and Dr. Glenwood L. Creech, UK's vice-president for University
relations, all of Lexington, and Miss LeRuth Jones, secretary at the
First National Bank, Atlanta. The awards were presented June 11 at a
banquet opening a three-day annual workshop of the board of the
Alumni Association, held at the President Inn in Ft. Mitchell. No more
than four of the awards are given annually to UK graduates who have
offered exceptional service to the Alumni Association and to the Uni-
versity. Presentation of the awards to Mr. Adams and Mr. Hillenmeyer
marked two "firsts" since the honor was started. Mr. Adams is the
first husband of a previous winner to receive the award, and Mr.
Hillenmeyer the first son of an earlier winner. Mr. Adams's wife,
Mrs. Catherine Carey Adams, a life member of the board, was a recip-
ient in 1965. Mr. Hillenmeyer's father, the late Louis E. Hillen-
meyer, was among the first recipients in 1961.

        Mr. Adams and his wife will be recognized this year as Univer-
sity Fellows, an honor given to major donors to UK, for their gifts
for scholarships in the College of Engineering. Mr. Hillenmeyer, who
followed his father as an alumni member of the Board of Trustees, has
served on the association's board for more continuous years than any
other person. He has been a board member since 1949. A 1943 graduate,
he was a recipient of the Sullivan Medallion. He has been a member
of the Board of Trustees since January, 1959. Dr. Creech, as vice-
president of the University, is directly responsible for the alumni
program, but the committee that selected the award recipients pointed
out that his "efforts greatly exceed those official requirements to
further the cause of alumni relations at UK." He received two degrees
from the University--one in 1941 and one in 1950--and served on its
staff from 1951 to 1956. He became a vice--president in 1965. Dr.
Creech and his wife, Mrs. Martha Brooks Creech, are University
Fellows. Miss Jones, a 1951 graduate, was honored for her work with
the Atlanta Alumni Club.



6.      96 PERSONS STUDY WITH CRUSADE FOR CHILDREN AID

        A total of 96 persons have received Crusade for Children
Scholarships amounting to $31,000 to attend the University Summer
Session, where they are preparing to teach and serve as teacher aides
in special education. They then can be certified to work with handi-
capped children. Dr. A. S. Levy, coordinator of special education in
the summer program, announced that scholarships have been awarded to
persons in the areas of Educable Mentally Retarded, Speech and Hearing,
Trainable Mentally Retarded, Emotionally Disturbed, Neurologically
Impaired, and Orthopedically Handicapped. Eight teachers of the
trainable mentally retarded and five teacher aides have been awarded
Crusade grants through the Hazard-based Upper Kentucky River Regiornal
Mental Health-Mental Retardation Comprehensive Care Center. All will
work with handicapped children in their home counties.
