APRIL, 1979 THE VOICE PAGET Ralph McGill Scholarship Fund ATLANTA, GA. - May 1st is the deadline for aspiring young southern newspaper men and women to submit applications for Ralph McGill Scholarships. The Ralph McGill Scholarship Fund offers scholarships of up to $1,500 each to students who have completed at least two years of college, and who have demonstrated a long-time interest in the news and editorial phase of newspapering. Jack Tarver, Chairman of the fund’s ad visory committee, said scholarhips are limited to those young men and women whose roots lie in the souUi. Applicants must also convince the awards committee that they firmly intend to pursue a career in daily or weekly newspapering. Tarver said the Awards Committee wants to give scholarships to those who are likely to become leaders in the newspaper field. Successful applicants will be required to maintain a “B” average in order to keep the scholarship. A letter of not more than 500 words telling why the applicant wants a scholarship, together with a photograph of the applicant, must ac company each application. Applicants also must have a letter of recommendation from a college authority. Application blanks may be obtained from: The Ralph McGill Scholarship Fund; Box 4689; Atlanta, Ga. 30302. Hindsight (Continued from Page 2) developed through which humanism, self-discipline and attention to detail were able to be reinforced. During the tumultuous 60’s when everyone and everything was being held to the “litmus test” or relevancy, language programs (including English) on Black College campuses fell victim to strong student and off-campus pressure for more stringent career-related training in the sciences, mathematics and business. Unlike larger, more well- endowed institutions which had the resources to ac commodate the simultaneous expansion of both technical and language units, traditionally black colleges and universities were faced with the perennial “either-or” proposition. With external and internal support for the technical disciplines so very, very strong, it is not difficult to understand how, over the past 10-15 years, language training at these institutions has almost been relegated to the “junk heap” of academic ideas whose time has long passed. The resulting jux taposition of so-called “soft” yVHh your degree^you can either wait for responsibility or.^assume it. i 2 5 « r a « !0 15 1. !« 7 * ’>■> There are a lot of good minds coming out of colleges and untveisities. And every year, the competition gets tougher for the good jobs—jobs with responsibility. But, as a Naval Officer, you can assume inmi^iate responsibUity and leadership: a position that offers you an opportunity to put your skills and education to use in a job ^at will make the most of what you have to offer, while doing something for your country, too. The job isn’t easy, but if you’re a self- motivated person, you can go as high as your ambitions and talent uill take you. And you don’t have to wait a long time to get there. We’ll also start you off at a salary comparable to most corporations. But a Navy commission also means ben efits \mrivaled in tKe civilian job marlcet; 30 days paid vacation, low cost Service men’s Group Life Insurance euid free medical and dental c:are. And you still have access to the same leisure time activities you now enjoy. So, don’t settle for less than you’re worth. Contact your College Placement Office to find out when a Navy representative will be on campus or send your resume to: Navy Officer Program, Code 312 (T279) P.O. Box 2000, Pelham Manor, N.Y. 10803. In the Navy, you’re valuable and we’re ready to prove it. Call Navy toll-free 800- 841-8000. (In Georgia, 800-342-5855.) ... or call your local Navy representative 800-662-7568 NAVY. IT’S NOT JUST A JOB, IT’S AN ADVENTURE. and “hard” training has sordidly restricted the Black University’s ability to be truly competitive in the in ternational development area. Should we continue to relegate languages to third- class status at our in stitutions? I say indeed not! Let the 20-20 vision of hind sight be justification enough to accept the folly of our past ways. We must move forward in a big way. Present day realities of our global inter dependence cry-out for responsible action...and now. Heaven knows, we just might wind up developing a new vehicle that marries technical and language training. DIONNE WARWICK Read about her life in March- April issue of THE BLACK COLLEGIAN.
