Center Receives Grant The Washington Center for Lear ning Alternatives, the nation’s largest academic internship organization, today announed receipt of a $200,000 grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, a Chicago- based foundation among the five largest in the United States. The grant has been earmarked to increase the number of college level internships in the arts, in the humanities and in labor studies. The MacArthur Foundation grant will also fund expansion of the Center’s program of 2-3 week, issue- oriented seinars in Washington, D.C.for college students from around the country. William M. Burke, President of the Washington Center for Learning Alter natives says, “this award enables us to respond to a major need in higher education...the need to incorporate classroom theory with work experien ces. By including a full-time professional internship or a short-term intensive seminar in their curricula, students learn how to apply classroom skills in their future professional and leadership roles.” 5,000 students from over 400 colleges and universities nationwide have passed through WCLA’s doors since the organization’s founding in 1975. A Graduate Fellowship Program is offered in addition to the Under graduate Internship and Short-Term seminar programs. m ???????? ????????? ??????? ??????? ???????? ??????? ???????????????????????????

A Night Under The Stars By Woody Graham , Editor’s Note: Woody Graham offers this first hand account of education through experience.) The Rec. 422 class, under the in- structorship of Dr. Ralph Burns, departed Fayetteville State University for a night under the stars at Jones Lake located in Bladen County last month. The camping excursion was made possible through the diligent efforts of Jones Lake Superintendent, Mr. Dewitt Powell and his staff, Park Ranger Mr. Herman Speight and Mr. Powell’s secretary, Mrs. Betty Davis. The Rec. 422 class (camping), fun ctioned as a family unit and a small community with Roosevelt Wright as Camp Director; Bertie Wadford, Head Cook; Ricardo Bacon, First Aid Chief; Janice Brewington, Directress of Recreation; and Woody Graham, Chief of Supplies. After the Friday evening meal, the recreation how was due to follow, but temperatures in the mid 30’s strongly suggested to us that we concern our selves with staying warm. Except for af few hands of Uno and the laughs we had at Miss “B”, Janice making sure the fire flames never went out, our closest recourse for the hour of recreation was the different sounds our teeth made as we stood shivering in the cold over'the camp fire. Before long, it was time to hit the sack - off to bunk we went! 5:30 the next morning we were up again gathering wood for Bertie’s specialty, “A.M. A’La Carte.” Wish Bone would call it grits, eggs, sausage, bread and Coke, but Bertie is special so it tastes better with a french flair! “Doc” (Dr. Burns), and “Miss B” suggested blazing the nature trails throughout the park as a means of recreation. “What an exciting idea,” I thought to myself. Little did I know that the state park encompassed 2,208 acres. Two-hundred twenty-four acres of water in Jones Lake, two-hundred ninety-six acres of water in Satters Lake, which means there remain one thousand, six-hundred eighty-eight acres to be challenged by whatever mode of transportation one chooses. “Doc” is a rational man, so there was no real need for alarm, especially since none of the campers, were equip ped with real support tennis shoes. We knew “Doc” was a reasonable man, but we didn’t knwo how reasonable. Well, let me tell ya! Doc led the pack with his combat boots and when' we returned to the campsite two hours and forty-five minutes later, “Doc,” with the class tailing behind, had humped 15 miles! Roosevelt and I walked by a pasture with a horse in it. I looked devilishly at Roosevelt and said to him, “Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” The hor se was a sight for sore eyes, but Doc vetoed that plan, so I had to walk by. Naturally, I was the last one to make it back to camp. 1 have this philosophy that added support from the rear gives the front - line more vigor and en durance, and I’ve never been proven wrong. And for those students who have been misinformed that school is all work and no fun, 1 sirongVy recom mend a course in camping for the coing spring semester of ’83. I assure you that it will be a real treat! Dr. Burns’ expertise in the ins and outs of cam ping, the whole out-of-doors will make you want to come back for more.

Work, Travel Overseas A trip abroad, dismissed by many students as an impossible dream, can cost practically nothing. Working overseas on a temporary basis offers students not only the experience of in ternational travel, but also a superb opportunity to see a foreign country as an insider, living and working alongside the people. The Work Abroad program, spon sored by the Council on International Educational Exchange, the largest student travel organization in the U.S., cuts through the red tape to help thousands of students every year realize their travel goals. Now in its twelfth year of operation, the Coun cil’s Work Abroad program, the only one of its kind available in the U.S., helps U.S. students work in Great Britain, Ireland, France and New Zealand. The jobs are primarily unskilled - in hotels, restaurants, stores, factories, etc., but salaries cover the cost of room and board. In the past, students have worked as chambermaids or porters in London’s West End, as wool pressers in New Zealand and as life guards on the Cote d’Azur. Students must be at least 18 years old and able to prove their student status. For more information and applications forms, contact CIEE, Dept. PR-WA, 205 East 42nd Street, New York, NY 10017, (212) 661-1414, or 312 Sutter Street, San Francisco, CA 94108, (415) 421-3473. Gays Recognized On the advice of the university at torney, U. of Tennessee-Chattanooga Chancellor Frederick Obear recently granted a gay student group permission to register as a student group. Obear’s ruling went against the decisions of both the student government and an administrative panel which had denied recognition. It came after university attorneys said a court case “would assuredly result in a court order to register this organization,” Obear said. The Students for Gay Awareness thus becomes the first recognized gay student group in the UT system.
