Dany Do QforcEi For Ktiouledge WINSTON-SALEM When colleges receive big dollars from business, all of society benefits - not just the school and its students. A good example is the $1 million that Winston-Salem State University has gotten from R.J. Reynolds Indus tries, Inc., to help WSSU attrack top students, stengthen its faculty and bolster its curriculum. Not only has Winston Salem State's " national stature improved, but the students on R.J. Reynolds scholarships are planning careers that will directly help humanity. Within the current crop of 16 WSSU seniors on RJR scholarships, one students - Paula Smith -plans to set up a clinic fo for abused and neglected children after she gets her master's degree in social work. Another - Willis Pickard wants to get into housing management, to improve conditions for urban poor. Two hope to enter medicine. Mary Greene is dedicated to attaining an M.D. degree, to help make a dent in the nation's undeftupply of family physicians, and Cynthia Timmons has decided to be come a registered nurse, specializing in obstetrics and gynecology. Others want to pursue such diverse fields as educa tion and computer program ming, while some are bent on careers in business because they share Tony Baker's view that "corpora tions' are responsible for the nation's economy and well- This type of concern for service to their fellow man and to society was common thread of remarks by the R.J. Reynolds scho lars, obtained during a recent informal survey. They were interviewed following photography in from of the RJR World Headquarters, for their official WSSU yearbook portraits. Their feelings are best summarized by Phillis Hardison, a senior in inter mediate education, who said, "As seniors we are naturally concerned with getting good jobs and finding our place in the world....but I think that most of us are also very concerned about ,t finding work that helps meet people's needs and helps solve widespread problems." Ms Hardison says she wants to teach fourth or fifth graders, and that she would emphasize "trying to really reach the children, so that they know someone cares and so that they be come good citizens as well as good students." Mary Greene feels she can help society by becom ing a family physician because general practitioners "are able to work with all members of the family to handle health problems before they become major." "The excitement of bringing new life into the world," is what inspried Cynthia Timmons to want to become an RN specializing in assisting with childbirth. "An RN can make her work really count here be cause the first 48 hours of a baby's life are the most critical," says Ms. Timmons, who has already helped de liver two infants. Along the same lines, Paula Smith's realization that "child abuse and neglect is one of the main causes of death among children" leads her to her goal of opening a child abuse clinic. Willis Pickard, who wants to promote civic welfare by imprpving housing ... condi tions, has already begun that work aSan" intern with' the City of Winston-Salem Housing Authority. During this past year he lias helped monitor and manage the ' quality of life in four large housing projects in the city, containing nearly 800 families. Troy Baker, an account ing honor students who wants to become a CPA, has volunteered precious time away from studies to work in student government. His emphasis is to help stengthen Winston-Salem State's financial health, to insure that the school can offer " students strong academic and extra-curricular pro grams. A good number of these students remarked that they would not have been in a . position to attend college and pursue thier civic aims of they had not been able to obtain R.J. Reynolds scholarships. " "I never could have l afforded college without the support from Reynolds Industries," says Sheilia Worthy, an economies' honor student, who was raised by her grandparents "I am just thankful for the , opportunity this scholarship has given me to pursue my God-given talents." R.J. Reynolds. Industries a diversified worldwide cor poration, is the parent company of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co.; R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Interna tional, Inc.; Aminoil USA, Inc. (energy); Sea-Land Service, Inc. (containerized shipping); RJR Foods, Inc. (foods and beverages); and RJR Archer, Inc.
