Fender said registration for the

available for participants.

*C Cots $350,000 From Mellon
for -one by the college, the award will
result in a $1,060,000 endowment fund
permanently restricted for faculty
and curriculum development and
renewal in the arts and sciences.
The new grant will fund a perma
nent endowment which will 'sustain
programs already begun under a
$140,000 grant from the Mellon Foun
dation awarded in 1878 for faculty
curriculum and development.
The new grant will fund curriculum
and faculty development in arts and
sciences and the humanities. It will
also provide continued support for the
college's historic commitment to the
Appalachian region. Strategies for
faculty renewal will be developed in
three areas: activities which support
individual faulty renewal; actions
which encourage group interactions;
and support services.
The income from the endowment
may be allocated as stipends or
released time for faculty members to
study, pursue research, improve
their instructional techniques, attend
occasional conferences, and par
ticipate with colleagues in seminars
and workshops. Consultants ikand
visiting scholars may be brought to
the campus with the possibility of a
visiting professorship for up to one
year.
The funds may also be used for im
plementing new or revised course of
ferings, or as a special faculty salary
supplement recognizing outstanding
pending faculty member*' knowledge
of Appalachia and relating this
knowledge to course offerings.
Along with the announcement of the
grant, it was announced that Dr. Ron
EUer, professor of history at the col
lege, will be the Director of the
Mellon Endowment.
"Mars Mil has always been known
for its strong arts and science ctr
riculum," commented EUer, "and
the Mellon Endowment will enhance
our ability to maintain that strength.
It is rare to find a school the size of
Mars Hil which has a 91 million-plus
endowment for faculty
development," he continued. "This
fund will allow us to stay abreast of
the rapid growth of knowledge as well
as keep us informed of the new direc
tions in which society is
heading." Ellen also acknowledged
that the strong points in a traditional
liberal arts education are those which
employers find desirable. "Our ex
perience shows that employers are
looking for flexibility, the ability to
provide our stuaenis wiui tne oppor
tunity to sbtfy with a signif cant
It will keep our faculty at the cutting
edge of knowledge and has already
generated considerable enthusiasm
Bently agret-d that the grant has
lege 'a faculty and supporters. "The
Board of Trustees strongly endorsed
the proposal when it was presented at
the May business meeting, and we
already have <35,000 in contributions
to be used for the matching portion of
the grant."
He also outlined the procedures the
college wil follow in raising the re
mainding matching funds. "Our
deveopment staff and I have put
together a strategy to go into six
metropolitan areas with members at
our Board of Advisors and Trustees to
raise the matching portion of the
grant. With the enthusiasm and com
mitment of these workers, we believe
that we shall be able to begin im
plementing this renewal program
during the 1906-87 academic year.

My Susan took |>art In the Thanks
giving pageant at church school. Of
course, I made her pilgrim costume
Later, as. I watched her singing, she
looked just like the pictures I have seen
of pilgrim children. I felt a lump in my
throat and had a real sense of Identity
with those men, women and children
who long ago withciti>od the hardships of
lift; in a dew and alien world.
These Immigrants weren't super
human; they w ere people Just like you
and me. Thc\ had the courage to believe
in a qew life ? a new country They be
licvcri their ultimate struggle would lead
to the freedom tlicy so fervently sought.
Over three and u hall' centuries have
passed. The foundation the pilgrim
fathers laid for us seems to be shaking
beneath our feet, and even our faith
wavers.
But", rcconsider. We owe it to those
pilgrims as well as to ourselves to re
affirm our belief In ( iod and in our coun
try. .Ynd what better way than in your
church ? this Thanksgiving?
