The days are numbered for sitting and rocking. Exams are coming up

Student Essay: $6000
Students in college or
graduate school have an op
portunity to win a top award of
$2,500 cash plus a $2,500 research
or travel grant in an essay
contest on welfare reform
sponsored by The Institute for
Socioeconomic Studies.
Leonard M. Greene, Institute
president, said the award will be
made for the best 10,000-word
paper on the subject “Income
Supplementation — A Solution to
America’s Welfare Crisis.”
A second prize of $1,000 cash
and up to 10 consolation prizes of
$100 each also will be awarded.
The staff and trustees of The
Institute will be judges.
The research program of the
non-profit foundation of White
Plains, N.Y. is focused on ex
ploring possible reform of
United States welfare policy.
Deadline for entry of papers is
March 1,1976. The essay contest
winners will receive their
awards at a presentation
ceremony in Washington, D. C.
early in May, 1976. While in
Washington, both the essay
winner and runner-up will meet
with ranking members of
Congress in a symposium on
welfare reform to be sponsored
by The Institute for
Socioeconomic Studies.
In announcing the com
petition, Mr. Greene said its
objective is “to encourage
America’s students to think
constructively about the vast
problems caused by the failure
of present U.S. socioeconomic
policy.”
Entrants’ papers, he said,
may give consideration to such
topics as an evaluation of
existing welfare programs,
techniques of income sup
plementation, and how work
incentives are affected by
present welfare policy and how
that might be altered by
adoption of an income sup
plement.
The Institute will have the
option of publishing winning
papers, Mr. Greene said. During
1975, The Institute has published
two monographs, “Great
Britain’s Tax Credit Income
Supplement,” incorporating a
paper by the Rt. Hon. Lord

Graduate Awards Contest
The Ford Foundation
Graduate Fellowships are aimed
at increasing the number of
doctorate-holding Mexican
Americans, Native Americans,
and Puerto Ricans in higher
education. Applicants must be
citizens of the United States and
must either be enrolled in or
planning to enter an accredited
United States graduate school
offering the doctoral degree in
their field of study. While there
are no restrictions as to the field
of study, candidates for a doc
torate in the professional fields
(such as law, medicine,
education, public health,
business administration, etc.)
must have received the first
post-baccalaureate professional
degree (J.D., M.D., M.Ed.,
M.P.H., M.B.A., etc.) before an
award can be initiated. Ap
plicants in the Arts and Sciences
are required only to hold the
bachelor’s degree. Although the
fellowships are for one year only
they are renewable upon
reapplication if the fellow has
not used up his or her eligibility
and is maintaining satisfactory
progress toward the doctorate.
Our immediate concern is to
inform interested persons about
the available fellowships and to
encourage those who are eligible
to apply. The enclosed an
nouncements are for your in
formation and for circulation.
Interested persons should be
urged to write the appropriate
office to request application
blanks. Application forms will
not be made available except
upon request by individual
applicants. Should you require
additional information or an
nouncements, please do not
hesitate to contact either of the
two offices listed above.

Honor Society and the Circle K
Club, both student organizations
at Atlantic Christian College,
are jointly sponsoring a paper
drive to be held during the
week-end of Jan. 10-11, 1976.
At that time, two specially-
marked containers will be
placed near the AC College
tennis courts and anyone
wishing to get rid of old papers
can place them in these con
tainers.
Students from the sponsoring
organizations will be available
to pick up papers from those who
are unable to bring them to the
campus. Those who have paper
are asked to bundle newsprint
and magazines separately.
Wilson residents and
businesses are urged to save
their papers and oarticioate in
the drive. The papers will be sold
for recycling purposes and
the profits will be used by the
clubs for charitable purposes
and for operating expenses.
