BRIAN MITCHELL RECEIVES STUDENT RECOGNITION AWARD

     COLUMBUS -- Brian Mitchell of CINCINNATI (45213), a junior 
majoring in mechanical engineering, has won The Ohio State 
University Board of Trustees Student Recognition Award.  The 
award was presented during the Feb. 29 meeting of the board.

     Mitchell was honored for his efforts to resuscitate Shimshon 
Zimering, a professor of mathematics, who suffered a heart attack 
while teaching a class during summer quarter.

     An Army ROTC cadet who learned lifesaving skills as a life 
guard, Mitchell performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on 
Zimering until paramedics arrived.  Zimering survived the heart 
attack, but died several months later.

     Mitchell, who is also an Army reservist, has made the 
university honor roll and was first in his class at Advanced 
Individualized Training at Fort Gordon, Ga., where he studied 
radio and communications operations.

     Mitchell is the son of Jill and Bruce Mitchell of CINCINNATI 
(45213).  He is a 1991 graduate of Walnut Hills High School, and 
hopes to find a career in government or research.  He is 
scheduled to graduate from Ohio State in June 1997.
