Innocents seek funds for sophomore scholarship
By Ehsron Frohnsr
The UNL Innocents Society, a senior honorary, is con
tinuing a fund drive for a sophomore scholarship named in
honor of long-time university employee James Pittenger.
Today is the last day for freshmen to apply for one of
the two James Pittcr.gsr scholarships to be awarded by the
Innocents.
The scholarship is for sophomores who rank in the
upper 10 per cent, of their class academically and are
active in campus and extracurricular activities, said John
Welch, Innocents president. Innocents also have solicited
nominations from deans of colleges, Welch said. Financial
need is not necessary.
Welch said the scholarship originally was started in
memory of two Innocents who were killed in the late
1950s. The fund was built up to more than $12,000 as
an endowment for the NU Foundation and the interest
from this fund has provided some scholarships in the past,
he said.
A fund-raising drive was started last November and
the scholarship was renamed in honor of Pittenger, former
Innocents adviser, to assure at least one scholarship each
year be given in his name, Welch said.
Service to state
In addition to being recognized for his service to the
Innocents, Welch said, Pittenger also is being honored for
his service to the state.
Pittenger was bom in Nebraska and graduated from
UNLin 1941.
In 1951, Pittenger was appointed Nebraska Secretary
of State and in 1953 he became secretary of the Univer
sity Alumni Association.
He was assistant to UNL Chancellor Clifford Hardin
from 1955 to 1962.
Since 1962, Pittenger has been the university's ticket
manager and assistant athletic director.
The fund-raising drive for the Pittenger scholarship,
kicked off at the Oklahoma-Nebraska football game last
year, includes personal visits and letters to people who are
acquainted with Pittenger and would like to donate in his
name, Welch said. .
Innocents directory
Innocents also have compiled a directory of Innocents
Society members from 1907 to 1977 and will send one to
all Innocents in the country asking them to contribute,
Welch said.
The fund-raising drive served as an impetus to re
establish the Innocents Alumni Association, he said. The
Innocents Alumni Association wM help Innocents select
class agents responsible for raising money or contacting
people about contributing.
Members of the Innocents Alumni Association and In
nocents Society will serve on the seven-member
committee selecting recipients of the scholarship, Welch
said
Welch said the goal of the drive, including the $12,000
endowment, is $40,000. Innocents would like to award
four $500 scholarships each year. Additional scholarships
in other names also could be awarded, said Welch.
