J ; Annual awards in the North Carolina Department of Instruction's Prospective Teacher Scholarship Loan program will rise from $350 to $600. effective with the 1971-72 academic year. The financial assistance plan for some 600 North Carolina residents who attend public as well as private colleges and universities in the state, will be outlined Friday at 2 p.m. in Gerrard Hall by J. Earle Harper, coordinator of scholarships for the State Department of Instruction. This year's scholarships will go primarily to students who report an intention to teach on the kindergarten or fourth to eighth grade levels in the state's public schools upon graduation. Other students "probably won't get the scholarships," notes William M. Geer, director of Carolina's Student Aid Office. At the time of the initial award, the student is required to sign a promissory note for the full amount awarded plus an annual interest rate of four percent, which must be repaid within seven years of graduation if the student . does not teach. If the student commences teaching in the state public school system upon receipt of his bachelor's degree, the loan is gradually converted to a scholarship at the rate of $600, plus interest, for each year of teaching. If the student enters the military immediately after graduation, he will not be required to fulfill the teaching obligation until three years from the date that he entered the military.

Although designed for less affluent students, figures compiled from a reporting of the Prospective Teachers Scholarship Loan Fund awards for the current academic year indicates that the median family income of this year's receipients is approximately $8,000 and Fog.

The three inmates who participated in the panel discussion are Charles Kotofsky, Monta Oliver and Claude Griffin. All are felons. The three have hopes for an early parole and have plans for further education and work on the outside. Kotofsky is studying science and mechanics at Forsyth Technical Institute and wants to study X-ray technology at Bowman Gray School of Medicine. Oliver is studying Business Administration at St. Augustan 's in " Raleigh. Griffin, who is 49 years old, does not wish to continue schooling after release but has several job offers as a machinist. The program helps the men get jobs through a job placement counselor. The inmates gave their views on the study-release programs and on the corrections systems in general. Among the suggestions given by the inmates for the improvement of the correctional system were: more qualified staff workers, an alleviation of overcrowded conditions which lead to violence within prisons, better food, an increase in the percentage of inmates allowed to participate in study-release programs and, in general, a less "dehumanized" attitude toward the inmates. Claude Griffin is a man serving a life sentence. He described Wednesday years spent in Raleigh Central Prison and Odum penal farm. "Odum," he said, "was almost completely governed by dogs German Shepherds . . . lots of times we couldn't even eat the food ... we were stripped naked before and after every day of work, bent over and searched just about anywhere you can imagine. We wore the same dirty work clothes day after day." The other panel members described similar experiences. Monta Oliver described prison conditions and the attitudes of some staff members as "dehumanizing." He said that the inmates are "all seen as one members of a group with common ideas and outlook. We're not seen as individuals." Oliver, a black, said that although racism was present, it was "not too bad because everybody sees you as a number not as a black man or a white man." Improper medical care was also a target of the inmates' criticisms. Despite these criticisms . of North Carolina correctional institutions, the three are happy with the study-release program. Griffith said that he has "never been treated better in my life" than he has been treated in this program. "When I graduate," he said, "I'm going to know something. When the guys graduate from Central Prison, they're going to know something too they're going to' know a lot. But what they know isn't going to do them any good." 973 TODAY-4:30-7:30 973 Beef on Bun Two Vegetables & Bread 1 BACC Back of the Valentine's February 14th Give Her A Gift From Sharyn Lynn Pantsuits Slacks Blouses Knit Tops Hot Pants SHARYrxj f Cl Jit V. IFG slates buses for upcoming rush Inter Fraternity Council (IFC) will run a free bus service during the hours of fraternity rush for men participating in rash. , Rush hours are 2 to 6 p.m. Sunday; 7 to 10 pjn. Monday and Tuesday; and 7 to 9:30 p.m. Wednesday. Buses will start running about 1 5 minutes before rush times and continue until about 15 minutes after rush hours end. The buses will begin and end their routes at Chase Cafeteria before and after rush hours. During actual rush hours, the buses will follo'w a three-stop route from Finley Golf Course to Morehead Planetarium parking lot to the Scuttlebutt. Rush books were delivered Tuesday night to ail freshman men. Any student who did not get one, or upperclassmen who desire one may obtain a copy in the Dean of Men's office, 01 Steele. Preference cards are also available in the Dean of Men's Office. Rushees may visit any house with or without receiving an invitation or signing a preference card. Rushees are neither obliged to nor restricted from visits to any fraternity house. "Rushees may stay as long or as short as they like," explained Todd Llewellyn, IFC rush chairman. "Rush is simply an open house to meet the people involved." Under limited contact rules, freshman rushees may not converse with fraternity men other than in formal greeting or during rush hours. Fraternity men may call or visit freshmen rushees in their dorm rooms only. "The idea is to allow all fraternities to be able to contact rushees on an equal basis," said Llewellyn. Limited contact rules begin after women's closing hours Saturday night and run until rush is over Wednesday night. Freshman Council formed by Belio A freshman Council to help inform1 those who want to be student leaders is being established by Student Body President Tommy Bello. "In the past," Bello said, "freshmen have often made the legitimate complaint they never know what's happening around campus." He added that many freshmen want to involve themselves with student politics, but are handicapped by a lack of knowledge of the administrative and academic processes. "One of the problems of Student Government has been a lack of continuity," the student body president said; . ; . - - By; setting up a seminar-type discussion group, Bello hopes to achieve continuity by providing the freshmen knowledge from his experience and the experience of others. "Hopefully, the freshman council will serve as a brain drain, where myself and other speakers will tell the council all we know about everything in the University, academically and politically, and about everything else the council chooses to embark upon." 973 Zoom in q: Day ) 19 K :! : : : b . o: :: o: :JJ: 58: :t: U)l li UK :o: 0; m : ? :: O; N LYNN 22 PS8 f" HBffl tiT,ilT.g for the project will cone froni Bello's discretionary fund.

Debaters see action The UNC Debate Team of Joe McGuire and Dave Krase saw action at the William and Mary Debate Tournament during the last week Li January. They went through to the quarter-finals, where they dropped the debate, 2-1, to Oberlin. The team debated in the preliminaries and emerged with a 7-1 record. In the octo-flnals, Kruse and fcGuire defeated the University of New Hampshire, 3-0, with a cost of dying case. McGuire won the third pbee speaker award in the tournament. At the Harvard tournament, last weekend, Loveland and Joe McGuire lost in the quarter-finals to MIT, which went on to win the tournament. The case argued was an unemployment-inflation trade-off. The team came out of the preliminaries with 1 7-1 record, and then defeated Boston College in the octo-finals. Loveland was named second speaker and McGuire was fifth speaker at the tournament. Carolina group backs hunger march Lt. Gov. Pat Taylor issued a' proclamation for International Walk Day' at the Governor's Office in Raleigh Tuesday. Bill Brieger, junior from Bel Air, Md. and regional director of the Youth World Development, was present with other YMCA members from the University for the proclamation. May 7 through 9 was announced as the time for the Walk Against Hunger-Act for the Development weekend. Brieger said Chapel Hill will not participate in the walk that weekend because the date is too near the end of the semester, and the students would leave for home before funds for the walk could be collected. He said there would be a substitute activity relating to the fight against hunger that weekend. The five towns in North Carolina particiapting in Intemation Walk Day are Greensboro, Raleigh, Winston-Salem, Charlotte and Newton-Conover.
