January 17, 1980/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/Pagc 15 A $50,000 anniversary gift Couple establishes scholarship on 50th Taft and Malvery Botner of Cullowhee are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary in an unusual way-they are establishing scholarship and teaching awards programs at WCU with an initial gift of $10,000. Dr. and Mrs. Botner, now in retirement, together have teaching careers of approximately 80 years. They made their gift on December 19, the anniversary of their wedding. The gift establishes the Taft B. Botner and Malvery Botner Scholarship and Teaching Award Fund in the Development Foundation of the university. The awards under terms of the gift are to be made in the areas of elementary education and reading. In disclosing their gift to Dr. H. F. Robinson, WCU chancellor, the Botners said "we hope that these scholarships will attract people with the potential to become superior teachers in two most vital areas in the education of children." The teaching awards, they said, are being given in hope that they will "serve to upgrade the quality of instruction and to recognize and reward those who excell in teaching." The Botners said they hope to add to the principal gift each anniversary until the gift makes it possible to provide three or four substantial scholarships, and the teaching award, each year. "The profession of teaching has been good to us," they said in a letter to Robinson. "We have enjoyed the challenges and rewards of long teaching careers which have totaled approximately 80 years between the two of us." "On this, our fiftieth wedding anniversary, we hope we can contribute to improved university programs and ultimately the teaching profession." In announcing the gift, Robinson said the Botners "have provided years of distinguished leadership in education, and years of inspiration to students. Now, through the scholarships and teaching award, they are continuing their lifelong dedication to students and to the advancement of education, and we are most grateful that they chose to do this through the university." The fund set up by the Botners will provide continuing support for student scholarships at undergraduate and graduate levels to "encourage academically outstanding men and women to pursue teaching careers in elementary education and reading." Recipients, the fund stipulates, "must be academically superior and possess those other attributes and aptitudes that are essential for effective teaching in the elementary schools." Each scholarship, to be not less that $500, will be made for one year, starting in the 1981-82 academic year. A special selection committee will choose the recipients. The Taft B. Botner Award for Superior Teaching is established to encourage superior teaching in the WCU Department of Elementary Education and Reading. The award will consist of an engraved plaque and a cash award of at least $750, and selection by a special committee will be made on the basis of superior teaching, with the first annual award to be made in the spring of 1982. "For those who have known or worked with Dean Botner, this gesture of extraordinary generosity comes as no surprise. It is yet another example of his loyalty, devotion and distinguished service to our School of Education and Psychology," said Dr. Betty Siegel, dean of the School of Education and Psychology. Dr. Botner was involved for 48 years in public school and university teaching and served in the department of education and School of Education and Psychology at WCU for 25 years. He served as director of student teaching and placement from 1950 to 1968, head of the department of teaching from 1967 to 1968 and dean of the school from 1968 to 1976. Mrs. Botner was an elementary school teacher for 30 years, including 12 years at Camp Laboratory School in Cullowhee. piiiainiiBiiiM ■ i ■ CAMELOT Winner of 3 Academy Award HOEY AUDITORIUM 8 p.m. TUESDAY JAN. 22nd FREE WITH GOOD TIMES CARD 50' WITHOUT C-OftiftkOT TECHNICOLOR* PANAVISION* FROM WARNER BROS.
