Burlingame, vice president of uni­ versity relations at Bowling Green State Univer­ sity, Ohio, was among four distinguished alumni honored at Moorhead State University’s centennial year hom ecom ing O cto b er 9 in M innesota. Burlingame, a 1956 business and political science graduate, went on to earn an MLS from the Uni­ versity of Illinois and a Ph.D. at Florida State Uni­ versity. He worked at the University of Iow a, served in the U.S. Army, and was on the library faculty at St. Cloud State University before being named dean of library and learning resources at the University of Evansville. He later became dean at Bowling Green State before being named vice pres­ id e n t in 1984. An active m em ber of A CRL, Burlingame has also served as a consultant and vol­ unteer director of several community organiza­ tions. Donald D. Hendricks, dean of library services at the University of New Orleans, Louisiana, was presented with the Distinguished Faculty Service Award at the fall meeting of the Honors Council. Hendricks was recognized for his support of the various projects of the University Honors Program. Mark E. Rorvig, assistant professor in the G rad­ uate School of Library and Information Science at the University of Texas at Austin, won the 1987 Doctoral Forum Award, presented annually by the American Society for Information Science. At an October 7 ceremony is Boston, Rorvig was honored for his dissertation, “An Experiment in Human Preference for Documents in a Simulated Inform a­ tion System.” It explores the long-standing prob­ lem of inconsistent document judgements, and how they can be fitted to tw o m ath em atical models. Rorvig’s findings are applicable to a num ­ ber of measurement problems in retrieval system evaluation and also shed additional light on what many consider the elusive notion of “recall” or comprehensiveness in document data retrieval.
