Morgan Guess, a 10-year-old student at Lone Oak Elemen-tary School, has won the Kentucky Youth Volunteer Service Award.

The award recognizes one young Kentuckian (under the age of 18) who has demonstrated signifi cant contributions to volunteer efforts and programs. The nominee may serve as a role

model and inspiration to other volunteers.

Morgan was selected for her anti-bullying initiatives. She helped bring the movie “Bully” and its director Lee Hirsch to Paducah. She raised nearly $20,000 for a founda-tion she and her mother started.

She also brought author and bullying survivor Jodee Blanco to

Paducah in August where she spoke to 6,000 kids in grades 4-12. Mor-gan recently presented her work at a Murray State University conference, and she started a Kids for Kindness Facebook page and Twitter feed.

“Now in its 18th year under the direction of the Kentucky Commis-sion on Community Volunteerism and Service , the Governor’s Awards for Volunteerism and Service pro-gram offers a rare glimpse into the lives and achievements of Kentuck-ians who serve without expectation of compensation, recognition or commendation, “ said KCCVS Ex-ecutive Director Eileen Cackowski.

Morgan said winning the award made her very proud. “I am glad that I could shine a light on bullying and I hope my efforts can make a difference in my school, community and state. Bad things are going to happen to us. We can choose to blame others, ignore it, or be a part of the solution. I believe being a part of the solution is always the best choice.”

LOS ANGELES — Frank Bank, who as Clarence “Lumpy” Rutherford served as the dim-witted foil to “Beaver” Cleaver and brother Wally on the classic TV comedy “Leave It to Beaver,” died Satur-day. He was 71.

A spokesman for Hill-side Memorial Park in Los Angeles confi rmed Bank’s death but did not disclose where he died or the cause.

Bank had a number of illnesses and was hospi-talized recently in Rancho Mirage, Calif., said Jerry Mathers, who played Bea-ver Cleaver in the popular series that ran from 1957 to 1963.

“Leave It to Beaver” re-volved around young Bea-ver and his misadventures, which usually involved the teenage Wally and Wally’s friends — skinny, sarcas-tic Eddie Haskell and oaf-ish, overweight Lumpy, who loved pushing Beaver around.

“Lumpy was the ulti-mate bully, but Frank was a very, very kind and gentle person and a very good actor to play it so well,” Mathers told the Los

Angeles Times this week. “The show was about all the people you knew growing up and through-out your life, and Frank brought that perspective to the show.”

After the show ended, Bank was chosen to play comic book character Ar-chie Andrews in the pilot for a new series but found he could not shake his pre-vious TV identity. “That’s not Archie, that’s Lumpy,” Bank, in a 1998 People magazine interview, re-called hearing the sponsor say.

Discouraged by the type-casting — and not wanting “to be like George Reeves, who could only be Super-man,” he said — he decid-ed to give up on acting to pursue business.

While others read Dai-ly Variety, Bank said he

read the Wall Street Jour-nal during breaks on the “Leave It to Beaver” set. Later, he helped his par-ents at the meat market they owned and taught himself about the stocks and bonds business.

By the mid-1970s he was earning a six-fi gure income as a stock-and-bond broker in Los Ange-les. Among his clients were former co-stars Mathers and Barbara Billings-ley, who had played Mrs. Cleaver. “Frank is certain-ly brighter than Lumpy Rutherford, and a very good stockbroker,” Bill-ingsley said in the People magazine article.

Born in Los Angeles on April 12, 1942, Bank made his acting debut in 1950 with an uncredited appearance in the movie “Cargo to Capetown.”

MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. — Former Rutgers Univer-sity President Francis Law-rence, who worked to raise the national profi le of the state’s fl agship public uni-versity, has died at 75.

Lawrence died Tuesday at his home in Mount Lau-rel, the university said. A cause of death was not dis-closed.

Lawrence oversaw the university’s fi rst formal strategic plan, Rutgers’ evolution into a more di-verse institution and the remaking of the school’s technology infrastructure as the Internet became a part of daily life on campus.

Lawrence was born Aug. 25, 1937 and grew up in Woonsocket, R.I., before attending St. Louis Univer-sity, where he earned his bachelor’s degree.

He became a scholar of French literature and came to Rutgers as president in 1990 after spending three decades at Tulane Univer-sity, where he earned his doctorate before becoming a professor and adminis-trator. At Tulane, he was provost and dean of the graduate school.

At Rutgers, Lawrence was behind a strategic plan

to make Rutgers, one of the nation’s oldest universities, into one of its most highly regarded. He reorganized the school’s fundraising operations, bringing in more money, and oversaw a building boom across its campuses in New Bruns-wick and Piscataway, New-ark and Camden.

Over the last seven years of his leadership, Rutgers added more than 50 new academic programs.

“In many ways, Presi-dent Lawrence was ahead of his time,” Joseph Sen-eca, a Rutgers economics professor who served as a university vice president under Lawrence, said in a statement. “The academic quality of Rutgers grew sig-nifi cantly, the digitization of the university occurred, and the electronic library became a reality.”

Seneca also said he rec-

ognized early the idea of building the university’s brand.

It wasn’t a tenure with-out contention, though. In 1995, some faculty mem-bers considered holding a no-confi dence vote against Lawrence, saying he lacked a leadership vision. But the professors backed off when they realized the vote was likely to fail.

Lawrence’s resignation in 2002 came as professors were circulating surveys on Lawrence’s performance. They ultimately gave him good marks for dealing with diversity and lower grades in other areas. The university’s Newark cam-pus has been named the nation’s most ethnically di-verse campus by U.S. News & World Report 16 years running — a string that be-gan when Lawrence was in charge.

of the university occurred, and the electronic library

became a reality.”
