C.P. What do those two letters
bring to mind? Does a mental
image ot white baseball caps
drifting through the night entail
your entire concept of the
Campus Patrol? Herewith is an
introduction to one of the more
crucial organizations on campus.
The Campus Patrol is a security
force (made up of about eight
een qualified students) which
provides security on campus in
addition to, and in conjunction
with, the Pinkerton Agency
guard that patrols from six to
twelve each night. The idea of
employing a student security
force came to Dean Gordon
Joyner back in the spring of
1979. Most sincere congratula
tions are due you, sir!
The Campus Patrol was created
on the premise that since the
members would be students,
they could relate better to
student problems and to the
student populace in general. In
the fall semester of 1979, this
program was first initiated with
Dean Al Monshower in charge
of the organization. Dean
Monshower was chosen, possibly,
because of his experience in
military service which would
belter qualify him to synchro
nize such operations.
When the program began, the
patrol members worked in shifts
of only one at a time. The
people that worked in the day
time operated from 8 to 5pm
week-days ticketing parking vi
olators and were on hand for
emergencies. The members
that worked at night filled in the
11 to6am shift, working at the
switchboard to help in emer
gencies, patrolling the campus,
and admitting women into their
dorms after twelve midnight.
Now, there are three patrol
members working at night to
perform the three duties that
were originally performed by
one person.
Even though the program be
gan as somewhat of an uphill
climb, it has been gaining more
and more acceptance along the
way. The college is now giving
new responsibilities (and there
fore new respect) to the patrol,
such as the duties of unlocking
buildings in the morning and
raising, and lowering the flag in
front of the administration build
ing.
According to Dean Monshower,
this organization will help de
velop responsibility and training
in the patrol members them
selves. Also, since cooperation
and understanding are stressed
on the part of the patrol, the
students at large should not
regard them as police but
rather students whose job it is to
help other students and report
incidents when necessary. The
Campus Patrol definitely deser
ves some credit because, at
$2.64 per hour, their chief
motivational factor is not the
bucks.
As a five-year student I re
member reports of a few isolat
ed incidents of sexual assault
which occurred on or near this
campus in years past. However,
there was no such incident last
year and 1 say, with all gravity,
that we should thank the Cam
pus Patrol.

POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS
WASHINGTON* D.C.11 The
National Research ‘Council will
advise the National 'Science
Foundation in the selection of
candidates for the Foundation’s
Postdoctoral Fellowships in
Science Program. Panels of
scientists and engineers appoint
ed by the Research Council will
evaluate applications of all can
didates. Final selection of
Fellows will be made by the
Foundation,with awards to be
announced in late February
1981.
These fellowships are de
signed to provide postdoctoral
research and study opportun
ities to a broader population of
scientists by offering two tenure
options: (1( Full-time tenures
for thoses who can arrange to
devote all their effort to the
conduct of a fellowship program
(2( Part-time tenures for those
with family, financial, or such
other obligations as may pre
clude their pursuit of a full-time
fellowship program. Fifty or
more full-time and part-time
fellowships will be awarded for
research and study in the math
ematical, physical, biological,
engineering, and social-
sciences, in the history and
philosophy of science, and in
interdisciplinary areas. Awards
will not be made in clinical,
education, ot business fields,
nor in history, social work, or
public health.
Applications may be made by
persons who will have earned by
the beginning of their fellowship
tenures a doctoral degree in one
of the fields of science listed
above or have had research
training and experience equiva
lent to that represented by a
Ph.D. degree in one of those
fields, and who will have held
the doctorate for no more than
five years as of November 3,
1980. All applications must be
citizens of the United States,

ability.
The basic stipend for full-time
Postdoctoral Fellows is $1,150
per month, $575 per month for
half-time Fellows. A limited
travel allowance is also provid
ed. In addition, the National
Science Foundation will provide
the fellowship institution, upon
request, with a cost-of-educa-
tion allowance on behalf of the
Fellow with space, supplies, and
equipment. Fellows are also
provided a single special allow
ance of $300 to aid in defraying
costs associated with their re-

now.
Youthgrants may support in
dividual projects or project
involving a group. To be eligible
for support, your project must:
(1) focus on a clearly defined
Cax£.£.x iPlanninc) £r ^PLaC£.mEnt
topic that draws upon one or
more disciplines in the human
ities, (2) be initiated, planned,
and fully conducted by college
students, (3) offer college stud
ents the opportunity to stretch
their intellectual and analytical
abilities outside of the class
room, (4) result in a concrete
end product that can be shared
with a larger audience (for
example; a research paper, a
slide/tape presentation, a series
of radio broadcasts, a set of
curricular materials, a film, or a
manuscript for publication), (5)
involve as an advisor a trained
professional in the humanities
such as a teacher.
Because competition for large
awards is intense, applicants
are urged to budget their pro
jects for $2500 or less whenever
possible. Guidelines are avail
able for viewing in the Career
Planning & Placement Center,
lower level, Hardy Alumni Hall.
Deadline is November 15.

ence Foundation in the selection

ation’s program of Minority
Graduates Fellowships. Panels
of eminent scientists and eng
ineers appointed by the National
Research Council will evaluate
qualifications of applicants.
Final selection of Fellows will be
made by the Foundation, with
awards to be announced in
March 1981.
The NSF Minority Graduate
Fellowship Program is open

Puerto Rican.
Eligibility is limited to those
individuals who, at the time of
application, have not completed
more than 20 semester hours/30
quarter hours, or equivalent, of
study in any of the science fields

College and university stud
ents may win up to $1,000 in
Scholarship Awards by coming
up with an original and practical
idea based on the use of
polystyrene foam. The Fourth
Annual EPS Scholarship
Awards Competition, sponsored
by the Expanded Polystyrene
Division of The Society of the
Plastics Industry, challenges in
ventive minds to design work
able, worthwhile new products
using expanded polystyrene as a
important element.
The EPS Scholarship Awards
Competition offers three cash
prizes - $1,000 First Award,
$500 Second Award, and $200
Third Award. Honorable Ment
ion plaques are given for Fourth
and Fifth runners-up.
In the 1980 competition, the
$1,000 top award went to a
Southern Massachusetts Uni
versity junior for her concept of
EPS molded board as artist’s
canvas. A design for an expand
ed polystyrene masthead float
for catamarans (sailboats with
twin hulls) earned a MacMurray
College senior the $200 Scholar
ship Award.
A brochure describing the
contest requirements, and in
cluding a preliminary entry
