GOOD | I LUCK §; 1 ON EXAMS P Vol. LIV Scholars Get SIOO,OOO From Dana Grant GREENSBORO, N.C.--Guil ford College started the New Year with a lift--a SIOO,OOO grant from the Charles A. Dana Foundation of Bridgeport, Conn. Dr. Grimsley T. Hobbs, Guil ford president, said the gift will implement the Dana Scholars Program in the face of rising tuition costs. The SIOO,OOO has been added to the college's endowment fund, and the expected $5,000 ad ditional annual income from that source will be used to fund con tinuing scholarships, he said. Foundation Grants Total $1,950,000 The current grant brings to over $1,950,000 the amount of gifts from the Dana Foundation to Guilford College during the last 10 years. Grants in the name of the Connecticut philanthropist have been used for capital improve ments, scholarships and endow ed professorships at the col lege, Dr. Hobbs said. Since the Dana Scholars Pro gram was started in 1961, there have been 403 scholarships granted to Guilford students. Dana has given the program $40,000 per year during the past five years, a total of $200,000. 56 Dana Scholars Currently, 56 Guilford students are Dana Scholars. They must maintain a B average and dem onstrate leadership abilities to be selected by the Dana Scholars Committee, headed by Dr. Frances Norton. Of the current scholars, 20 are sophomores, 14 are jun iors and 22 are seniors. Dollar amounts of the scholar ships vary according to need within the group selected as Dana Scholars. Minimum scholarship is SIOO with the maximum being $1,200. In donating to the program, Dana pointed out that many people of ability are lacking in resources necessary for a col lege education. Dana scholar ships thus make it possible for many gifted young people to attend college. WQFS-FM, GUILFORD'S NEW RADIO STATION, IS NOW BROADCASTING DAILY.

Army Bars Protesters, CLU: Base Is Public Base regulations banning all demonstrations and political speeches and all unauthorized leafletting at Fort Dix, N.J., violate the U.S. Constitution and Army dissent guidelines, ac cording to a suit now before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. The ACLU of New Jersey and the Lawyers Guild contend public areas of the base cannot be con trolled by base officials in a way that deprives the public of fun damental constitutional rights. Fort Dix is open to the public, and motorists and pedestrians are normally free to enter at will. Several public highways run through the base. Yet this fall, when a protest committee asked permission to demonstrate and distribute lit erature on the base, offering to modify their plans to suit any reasonable Army requirements, they were turned down. The com Monday, January 12, 1970 mittee was formed to protest the treatment of 38 military pris oners in the Fort Dix stockade. Base officials barred them because of "the stated purpose of the demonstration and the committee sponsoring the dem onstration." The suit contends the decision and the local regulations on which it was based arbitrarily forbid First Amendment speech and assembly rights. The blanket ban on demonstra tions also runs counter to Army guidelines stating that" a specific request for a permit to con duct an on-post demonstration in an area to which the public has generally been granted ac cess should not be denied on an arbitrary basis." The guidelines specify that "a commander must have cogent reasons, with supporting evi The Women's Student Council "las completed an opinion survey jf all women students regarding dormitory closing hours. The survey results will be U corporated into a proposal which will include one or more systems of hour regulations which most adequately fulfill the wishes of Guilford's women students.

All but twenty of the respondents wanted ex tended hours for some or all students. 118 women desired a system of self-regulated hours for all women. 69 women de sired the self-regulating system for juniors and seniors, with ex tended hours for freshmen and sophomores. 14 respondents were opposed to the self-regula ting system. A large majority of the women said they were willing to accept the responsi bility and the cost of such a system. dence, for any denial of (literature) distribution priv ileges." A three-judge federal court re fused to half interference with the fall demonstration (which was held anyway) and dismissed the complaint. However, the same group plans future demonstra tions, and, therefore is appeal ing the dismissal.
