School Offers Scholarships
To College-Bound Students
The principal of Southern
High School in Durham is
trying to raise $150,000 by
July to fund the grants.
By Lmir Tuncer
Staff Writer
Principal Henry Pankey of Southern
High School in Durham has started the
“Diamonds In The Rough" program,
which will provide all graduating seniors
with a SI,OOO scholarship if they choose
to attend college.
The program will depend on large
corporations and individuals in the com
munity for the majority of its funding.
The initiative will need to raise
$150,000 to provide the school’s expect
ed 150 college-bound graduates with
scholarships, Pankey stated in a press
release.
The fund has already raised $30,000,
two-thrids of which was contributed by
General Electric.
Pankey said the idea had sparked a
great deal of student interest in his 200-
person senior class.
“When I announced the program,
they were yelling and screaming,” he

position.
Student Body Secretary Minesh Patel
said he expected great things from Fay
in his new position. “I think you’ll find
that Zach is very motivated and very

said.
“I had not seen this kind of enthusi
asm in high school students. They are
excited about this.”
Assistant Principal John Benson said
he was very optimistic about the future
success of die program.
“I think we’ve had an extremely sup
portive start, and we’re looking forward
to the month of February to solidify our
opening,” Benson said.
Southern’s Student Body President
said many students now felt more posi
tive about post-graduation opportuni
ties.
“I think there has been an increase in
the number of students who are consid
ering attending college,” Harris said.
“It’s a good feeling. It’s given the stu
dents a better outlook as far as career
goals.”
Pankey said part of his motivation
behind introducing the program to his
“heterogenous school with a strong mid
dle-class base” was to give students a
monetary incentive for scholastic
achievement.
“Many people don’t understand, but
a thousand dollars can make a lot of dif
ference,” Harris said.
Benson said he created the program
in part to encourage students to contin
qualified,” he said. “He has a lot of ener
gy and he has already started planning
for the committee. I expect great things
from him in the future.”
Eric Johnston, a graduate of UNC
and a friend of Fay’s, said he had faith in
Fay’s ability as a leader, even though he
was new to the committee. “There is not
one position on this campus that Zach
wouldn’t be qualified for.”

ue on to college because a high school
degree did not hold the same value it
did in the past.
“I’m absolutely certain everyone
understands the importance of school
ing after high school,” Benson said.
“The bar has been raised, and it takes
more than a high school diploma to
work for a business. Even a couple of
years of college will do it”
Benson said one goal of the program
was to give all graduates a chance to go
to college, regardless of grade point
average or financial status.
“It has always been the successful stu
dents who are supported,” Benson said.
“There are students who just make it
through and are unsung heroes, and
they don’t have support.”
Pankey said he did not want any type
of exclusion based on scholarship or
financial status.
“I want every student to have a schol
arship,” he said.
Pankey said he would donate SI,OOO
to the new fund over the next three
years.
“I have a lot of faith and confidence
in these students.”

Quayle sparked a controversy with a
May 1992 speech when he assailed tele
vision character Murphy Brown for
bearing a child out of wedlock. “It does
n’t help matters when prime time TV
has Murphy Brown -a character who
supposedly epitomizes today’s intelli
gent, highly paid, professional woman -
mocking the importance of fathers by
bearing a child alone ...” Quayle told
an audience in California. In recent
years, Quayle has traveled the nation,
seeking to build political support, par
ticularly among fellow conservatives.
