CC Ruling
Prohibits
Scholarship
An “informal” petition, wihich be
gan ciroxlating among the student
body at ACC to raise funds for
scholarships specifically for Negro
applicants, has run into a stone
wall.
The petition was stopped volun
tarily when it was pointed out that
such scholarships for recruiting ath
letes are in violation of Carolina
Conference rulings.
The purpose of the petition move
ment was to set up a scholarship
fund to be lused to encourage Ne
gro athletes to attend ACC. Tlie
move was initiated following a rul
ing by the Board of Trustees last
week which stated that Negro ath
letes cannot be offered grants-in-
aid as a means of enticement to

North Carolina Volunteers To Expand
Program; Will Involve 250 Students
DURHAM - The North Carolina
Fund this week starts a 56-campus
recruiting drive for an expanded
North Carolina Volunteers summer
program involving college students
in community action against pover
ty problems.
The 1965 Volunteers program
involve 250 students. After a three-
day orientation period, the students
will form into teams of 15-20 stu
dents each, and moves into about
15 North Carolina communities.
In announcing the new Volunteers
program, Terry Sanford, board
chairman of the North Carolina
Fund, said “The decision to run a
nev/ and expanded North Car
olina Volunteers program this sum
mer, reflects the outstanding
achievements of the 100 students
who worked so successfully in last
year’s program.
After talking with leaders from
communities where Volunteers work
ed last year, we are convinced that
college students can make signifi
cant, permanent contributions to
community action programs in
North Carolina communities.
This is the people - to - people
part of the new move against pover
ty. It is an inspiring thing to see a
college student willingly take his full
vacation time to give a new feeling
of hope to a child, to teach a class
of adults to read and write, or to
tramp through a neighborhood help
ing to improve their homes and
make better places in which to live
and rear their children.”
Each North Carolina Volunteer
team wiU work in a community
that has made a specific request for
Volunteers for this summer. The
North Carolina Fund currently is in
viting communities to submit pro
posals outlining their plans for us
ing Volunteers, and facilities avaO-
able for housing and feeding the
students.
Last year, the initial North Caro
lina Volunteers program involved
100 students, working in six com
munity action projects. T^ie students
started adult-literacy programs, gave
pre-school training to disadvantaged
children, drove bookmobiles into iso
lated mountain areas, worked with
mentally retarded children, and built

and repaired houses, to name just
a few of the jobs they tackled.
The recruiting program for 1965
starts immediately, and ends March
31. Students may pick up applica
tions at campus student union cen
ters, or from North Carolina Volun
teers school representatives whose
names will be posted on campus
bulletin boards.
The 1965 Volunteers effort wiU be
administered by the North Carolina
Fund, with Jack P. Mansfield act
ing as North Carolina Volunteers
director and Frank Rush and Bill
Harriss actmg as field supervisors.
Campus contact work will involve
many of last summer’s Volunteers.
Every college campus in the
state will be visited by a special
Volunteers recruiting team from the
North Carolina Fund headquarters in
Durham. Recruiters will show a spe
cial documentary fOm on the 1964
Volunteers’ work, pass out informa
tion on the 1965 program, and an
swer questions from interested stu
dents.
The 1965 program will last 11
weeks. Volunteers wiU receive room
and board, plus a $250 honorarium
at the end of the service period.
Throughout the 11-week period,
each team of Volunteers wiU work
under the direction of adult ad
visors, and local public service agen
cies.
The recruiting - selection - train
ing timetable, some of it stiU in the
planning states, looks like this:
Recruiting runs through March, all
applications must be in by March
31. During the first two weeks of
April, applications will be screened
by three boards — a campus re
view board, a regional board, and a
state-v/ide committee. The 250 suc
cessful applicants will be notified
by April 15.
The 250 Volunteers wiU report in
mid-June for a four-day training
period, probably on a college cam

state. Then the Volunteers will move
into the 15 communities for their
summer of work.
