(Movies shown in Student Center beginning at 7:00 p.m.) SPORTS FOOTBALL UPDATE The Committee on Institutional ^Cooperation has established a fellowships program designed to in crease the representation of members of minority groups among those who ■hold doctorates in the social sciences, humanities, natural sciences, mathematics and engineering. Funded by grants from The Lilly Endowment, Inc., The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foun dation that total more than $4 million and from additional resources of the affiliated universities, the program will provide 25 fellowships in the social sciences, 10 in the humanities, and up to 25 in the natural sciences, mathematics and engineering for the 1982-83 academic year. The Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) is the academic consortium of the Big Ten universities and the University of Chicago, all located in the Midwest. Fellowships must be used at one of the CIC univer sities. The fellowships provide full tuition plus a stipend of at least $5,000 for four academic years, provided of cour se that the Fellows make normal progress toward the Ph.D. Any minority student who has or will recieve a bachelor’s degree by August 1982 is eligible to apply for the 1982 competition. Graduate students at universities other than those of the CIC may also apply. Consumers are rapidly realizing that appearances can be deceiving when it comes to bills for magazine subscrip tions. Magazines, in their fight for numbers and survival, are more and more frequently lowering themselves to sending out solicitations that look more like actual bills than like the sales pitches they really are. If you get a bill in the mail, read it carefully. Somewhere in the small print you may find a hint that this is just a soliciation, and not a bill afterall. The problem is even more widespread with current subscribers to publications who get “Renewal Notices” and “Second Notice” renewal notices that act like you are overdue in paying a bill when in fact you haven’t even reordered the publication. They look real, they act demanding, but you haven’t even ordered the publication. Some even demand a yes or no answer by return mail. Another popular gimmick of mail order market ing is offering boods on a free 10 or 30 day trial, with full no- questions-asked “refund privileges.” They tell you that you can have the book for a free trial and decide after 10-30 days whether or not to keep the publication. The more reputable com panies remind you of this when your bill is finally sent. The others do not. The bill comes, and not a word is in cluded to remind you that you can return the merchandise instead of paying the bill. Then there is the routine where the bill does not come until after the trial period is up. Leaving it up to you to remember before it is too late that the trial period is almost over. Students are urged to apply as early as possible in the fall; application deadline is January 15, 1982. A one- step procedure combines appHcation for the fellowship with application for admission to any of the CIC univer sities on a single form. Anyone desiring detailed infor mation about the fellowships program should write to: CIC Minorities Fellowships Program, Kirkwood Hall 111, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana 47405. Unitl February 1, 1982, prospective applicants from outside Indiana may call toll-free between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. EST for information or application forms. The number is (800) 457-4420. Now in its fifth year, the CIC Fellowships Program in the social sciences makes awards in an thropology, economics, geography, history, political science, psychology and sociology. The humanities fellowships are available to students seeking doc torates in American studies, art history, classics, comparative literature, English, German, linguistics, music, philosophy, religion, Romance languages and Slavic languages. Fields covered by the natural scien ces, mathematics and engineering program include chemistry, biological sciences, agricultural sciences, physics, and geological sciences. We welcome inquiries concerning specific subfields. If this happens to you, it costs nothing to protest. Write cancel on the bill anyway, ask the company to have the merchandise picked up. Although you might receive a chain of threatening form letters regarding your bill, mail order bills under $50 are very uneconomical to collect through either collection agencies or lawyers. Mail order firms use every trick they can think of to bluff you into paying the bill, and when they finally realize you aren’t going to, they move on to the next sucker. Crackdown On Diploma Mills The California legislature has started a commission to help combat the “diploma mills” in the state. Diploma mills are unaccredited in stitutions that give out degrees, often without requiring coursework. A consultant for the legislature says the present California laws are among the most lax in the country. Schools need only to show $50,000 in assets and file an affidavit with the state with its address and a list of directors. The approximately 200 diplomas now in existence in California are not required to meet any academic stan dards. The commission is expected to issue recommendations to revise the laws.
