Mel Bringle in Paris
Mel Bringle, a graduate of
Suilford in May of 1975, had
received a Danforth Scholar
ship to continue her studies at
Emory University. But be
cause she received another
grant for a year's study in
Paris, she will be postponing
her graduate study in Georgia
until next year.
To use the Alliance
Francaise Fribourg Founda
tion grant, Mel must spend
the'coming academic year in
Paris.
Of course the first thing she
did when she found she had
won the Fribourg was to get
permission from the Danforth
' Foundation to delay her
program at Emory by one
year
And the folks in Emory's
department of religion not
only agreed to the delay but
offered to direct her research
in Paris by correspondence.
Mel (from Mary Louise) was
nominated by Guilford College
for the Danforth Fellowship
and she was one of 65 winners
from the more than 1,700
nominated, the only winner
from a North Carolina college
or university.
Meanwhile, having fallen in
love with Paris during two
trips there with the summer
schools abroad sponsored by
Guilford and UNC-G, she
applied through the Institute
of International Education for
a Fulbright Scholarship to
study in the city on the Seine.
She had proposed to study
the Christian-Marxist dialog
in France, currently a major
topic in the intellectual life
• there.
The institute forward her
dossier to the Alliance
Francaise committee in Paris,
which notified Mel that she
had been given "alternate
standing" for a fellowship.
By early June she had heard
nothing else, so she assumed
she would not receive that
grant. If Paris was not to be
on her agenda for the coming
vear, she decided, at least it

could be for a couple of weeks
this summer before going to
Emory.
She flew to Paris and,
ironically enough, was there at
the very * time Alliance
Francaise was selecting herfor
the Fribourg Foundation
grant.
The good news was
awaiting her when she
returned to the home of her
parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Emmett L. Bringle of 513 W.
Cornwallis Dr. in Greensboro.
Mel, who majorecTin both
French and Religion, got her
first real taste of teaching at
Guilford College. A semester
of teaching freshmen in the
Being Human in the Twen
tieth Century course was "the
singularly most positive ex
perience" in her life.
Now her goal is a career of
teaching on the college level.

Inadvertent!}
a few sentences were omitted
from last week's football
article by Chris Benfey, and
these omissions detracted
from Mr. Benfey's continuity
of style. I express my apology,
and below you may read an
unedited portion of the
original article:
There are the fans who, like
theatergoers, hope to see •
good performance; and there
are those who hope to see one
of the teams get clobbered.
One group of fans goes for art,
the other for flesh and blood.
