Oct. 19,2000 • News • Page 5 continued from “QUEEN” page 1 The scholarship will provide assistance for one Jordanian stu dent to come to Elon a year accord ing to Sarah Peterson, assistant to the President. The first Jordanian will attend Elon in 2000-2001 school year. “It’s an exciting scholarship. Elon gets an international student from Jordan, and the student gets a quality education from Elon,” Peterson said.Currently Queen Noor is president of United World Col leges and the chair of United Na tions University International Lead ership Academy in Jordan. Her hope for a future that benefits from education can be summed up by a quote by Robert F. Kennedy she said during her ad dress, “Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, these ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly. Some see things that are, and ask why. I dream of things that never were and ask why not.” continued from “RECTOBER” page 1 Love Shack of Danieley took home the sportsmanship award and Joe Azzato (Team S - West Area) and Elise Hewitt (Justice League - North Area) were the male and female MVP winners. The format was changed this year to allow for more participa tion. Assistant Director of Campus Recreation Michelle Zimmer said of this year’s competition, “The teams this semester had a lot of respect for each other from the events and a better sense of com munity in their halls.” According to Zimmer, Cam pus Recreation plans to hold Rectoberfest again next year, pos sibly earlier in the year.

The intellectual world and the social world at Elon can overlap in interesting and creative ways. What ideas do you or your organization have to combine them? You can request funding for projects and events. Academic Affairs has created project grants ranging from $50 to $500 for projects and activities that require some money for food, mailing, research, guest speakers, publicity, etc. Preference will be given to requests that clearly explain how academic and social aspects overlap, and for projects that include wide student representa tion (e.g.. not limited to a single class). Requesting money for your project is easy. Develop a plan. Have your plan reviewed by a faculty/staff member. Submit your request. It’s that simple. To apply, pick up an application form in 120 Alamance. This grant program is in response to recommendations from the 1998 Academic Summit, to coordinate leaming and social activities, and to provide more opportunities for faculty and stu dents to interact informally. A subcommittee of the Joint Deans’ Board (Academics and Student Life) reviews applications and selects funding choices.
