Six Tapped For Honors At University
Six Coral Gables residents were tapped last week by two University of Miami honoraries as part of the University's second annual Undergraduate Student Government Week activities. Nineteen-year-old undergraduate Pan Denger and her graduate student mother, Mary K. Denger, both of 805 Majorca Ave., were among the four Gables residents tapped for membership in Pi Delta Phi, the national French honor society. Also tapped by Pi Delta Phi, because of excellence in scholarship, were Sue Ellen Schatzberg, daughter of Mrs. A. Schatzberg, 1020 Matanzas, and Eleanor Friedl, 4931 Riviera Dr. Orange Key, an organization founded this year to recognize leadership, character and service, tapped Joseph Elinoff, son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel L. Elinoff, 614 Catalonia Ave., and Gerald Liss, son of Mr. and Mrs. Irwin M. Liss, 3632 Ponce de Leon Blvd. Elinoff is active in student government, and Liss is business manager of the Hurricane, the UM's student newspaper.
