Kappa Delta Pi wins ACE Award

     Kappa Delta Pi, the international education honor society, has
selected the University's Zeta Omicron chapter for its Achieving
Chapter Excellence (ACE) Award, the highest honor a chapter can
receive in the organization. Zeta Omicron is one of 11 chapters to be
so honored, from among 300 applications. The award will be given in
November at the Kappa Delta Pi convocation in Birmingham, Ala.
     Among its activities, the chapter sponsors a Halloween Safety
Program, when members visit classrooms and day care centers to read
stories, review safety rules for trick or treating and hand out bags.
The chapter also assembles and distributes to children at a homeless
shelter and day care center holiday gift bags with such donated items
as crayons and pencils from local merchants.
     During American Education Week in November, students work in the
College School and also sponsor "Take a Professor to Lunch," in which
members invite their teachers to a special luncheon in their honor. On
Honors Day, the chapter awards a scholarship and presents a Sophomore
Book Award.
     Angela Case, director of clinical studies in the College of
Education, is adviser to the group.
