I \ College Students Given Summer Work, State Service Are Provided The North Carolina Volun teers are offering a unique op portunity to college students for summer employment and creative service to the state of North Carolina, according to Barnard Dougherty, vice-presi dent and comptroller at Appa lachian State Teachers College. The North Carolina Volun teers were created by Governor Terry Sanford and other North Carolina leaders in an effort to cope with the long range causes of poverty in the state. James T. Beatty, director of the North Carolina Volunteers, is offering 100 summer intern ships to qualified persons who will work in The North Caro lina Fund’s ten experimental community projects designed to break the cycle of poverty in North Carolina. Each partici pant will be given room, board and $250 for 11 weeks during the summer beginning June 10. Students will live either in col lege dormitories in the com munity or with families who are residents. Dougherty said that there will be a training program in June for all participants. The pro gram is designed to instruct the volunteer in all facets of his work on the local level and in techniques of community ed ucation and organization. Any student in North Caro lina colleges and universities is eligible to participate. Volun teers will help in a variety of ways such as conducting tutorial programs, running day care cen ters, assisting with health ser vices and performing other tasks associated with alleviating the long range causes of pov erty. The North Carolina Volun teers hope that this summer’s program will serve as the begin ning of a large-scale volunteer effort throughout the state. Each volunteer this summer should be trained to exercise leadership in promoting and running similar projects on their campus and home com munities during the 1964-65 ac ademic year. This year’s vol unteer may also have an oppor tunity for a full-time paid in ternship in one of these com munity projects during subse quent years. They may also be called upon to assist in the re fitment and training of a lar ger volunteer force for the sum mer of 1965. For additional information or ipplication blanks, students are invited to inquire at the vice president’s office in the ad ministration building on the Soone campus.
