Absent at time of picture: Steve Compton. Project counselors picked by Lin Redmond Clarion Assistant Editor This summer Brevard College will again host Project Winners, a high school drop-out prevenlion program. Project Winners, piloted last year, is designed to encourage eighth graders to stay in school. Students are brought from Haywood, Transylvania and Hender son counties to room with and be counseled by Brevard College students. In last summer's pilot sessions, 50 middle school students stayed at Ross Hall and attended summer school classes on campus. They were challenged by such activities as rappelling, martial arts, sports and art classes. The BC counsek>rs acted as role models and big bfothers and sisters. Earlier this semester, the College began screening students applying for counselor positions for this summer. Those chosen for positions at Project Winners have been notified of their selec tion. Applicants not chosen will be asked to act as alternates. "We'll select two additional men and two additional women and train them.," says BC Campus Counselor Steve Martin. "The training will start right after Spring Break." Counselor positions have been offered to the following students: Dino Locklear, Leroy Herman (at WCU), Todd King, Beth Winters, Kendra Tut- terow, Carolyn Tatro (at Mars Hill), Libby Enloe and Joani Gregory. Winters, King and Herman are returning as Project Winners counselors after serving in last summer's pilot sesson. The American Association of University Women (AAUW) provide annual scholarship funds to BC which are awarded qualifying female Transylvania County residents. Seen with BC Financial Aid Director Lisanne Masterson, top right, this year's recipients are, clockwise from right: Angie Fain, Carolyn Schroeder and Karen Stamey. Absent at time of picture was Lolly Malik. Scholarship funds are provided through the annual AAUW Book Sale in July. Project Inside-Out goes to Washington — BC News Bureau Plans have been finalized and the team picked for Brevard College's first service work trip to an inner city area. Project "BC to DC" sends 10 students and two faculty advisors to the soup kitchens, shelters for the homeless, and the mean streets of the nation's capitol during Spring Break. From March 9-18, BC Service Coordinator Sybil Dodson and Director of Public Information Jock Lauterer will lead the BC work crew. The two took BC's pilot work team to Mexico last Spring Break, along with Sharon Waggy and maintenance man Mike Dodson. The BC to DC student team includes: Burney Mack, Libby Enloe, Lin Redmond, Penni Lane, Randall Watts, Dale Wicker, Rick Redmond, Steve Compton and Thomas Smith. According to Dodson, the BC team will serve in a variety of inner city projects including working with the homeless in shelters, food centers and after-school programs. Dodson says students will be exposed to a variety of situations in their work. "We'll see at least three different ways of approaching inner city problems: churches, organizations and indifference," she says. Dodson is coordinator of Project Inside-Out, BC's new service component which will require at least 30 hours of community service for graduation from the College. That program goes into effect with the Class of '92. Dodson feels the role of service is critical to a complete college education. She says, "I just feel so strongly that a total education needs to include an awareness of life. And so often we just know about that aspect we're most closely related to - our friends, our family. The world is much broader than our immediate little circle." Other service projects slated for the coming year include BC's high school drop-out intervention program, "Project Winners," and a month-long return service and language work trip to Durango, Mexico. Both programs are scheduled for this summer.
