locates Graduates
2 Scholarships

On the third floor of what
was once Pettigrew Dormitory,
amidst the offices of a number
of Carolina's most noted
historians, one can find the
headquarters of the Richardson
Fellows Program.
This Program, which began
on our campus last fall, attempts
to locate undergraduate students
with high potential for
leadership in public affairs, and
then it strives to encourage the
development of this potential
Funded by a three year,
$60,000 grant from the
Richardson Foundation of
Greensboro the initial class of
thirteen Fellows, three girls and
ten boys, was chosen last
October.
According to Dr. Samuel
Wells, Director of the
Richardson Fellows Program,
the selections were made with
the combined assistance of
students, of prominent
individuals in such fields as
banking, government, and public
affairs, and of noted members of
the faculty.
Basis for selection were
grades, extra-curricular activities
in high school and college and
leadership potential.
This spring, each freshman
with a 2.0 quality point average
was invited to apply for
selection. Of the more than
fifteen hundred persons invited,
only about 220 applied.
Dr. Wells noted that this
number will be reduced in July,
and again after interviews in
September. The final selection
of no more than fifteen new
Fellows will be made November
1-3 at the Betsy-Jeff Penn 4-H
Center in Reidsville.
The newly chosen members
of the Program will work with
the Fellows chosen last year in
designing a plan of study for the
combined group.
A major facet of the Program
seems to be the summer
internships available to each
Fellow. Dr. Wells stated that
their purpose was to aid in the
expansion of the Fellow's
knowledge of the problems
being concentrated on and to
allow him to work in the area of
public affairs.
Internships for this summer
ranged from assisting former
Governor Terry Sanford in his
investigation of urban problems,
to development of a master
police plan for the city of New
Haven, Connecticut, to work

with Burlington Industries and
with Wachovia Bank and Trust
Company. In the definition of
leadership given by Dr. Wells, he
discussed his belief that
responsible leadership could be
exhibited by the interested
businessman, the scientist, or the
teacher, as well as by the
politically oriented person. This
accounts for the diversity of the
internships and also for the
varying interests and attitudes of
those persons selected as
Fellows.
The ISC is sponsoring two
scholarships for international
students to attend the Fifteenth
Annual Southeastern World
Affairs Institute to be held July
12, 13, and 14 in Black
Mountain.
The theme of the Institute
will be "Beyond Vietnam--Stable
Peace or Recurring
Wars?" The conference is held
annually to give businessmen,
editors, lawyers, ministers,
teachers, students, and other
leaders interested in world
affairs an opportunity for
discussion and decision.
Nixon Director Speaks
On 'Viable Alternative'
Last Sunday evening Jeffrey
M. Wainscott, Southern Director
of the Youth Division of United
Citizens for Nixon, appeared
before a group of students to
speak on "The Viable
Alternative: Richard M. Nixon."
Wainscott emphasized the
vast experience in foreign affairs
which Nixon has had both as a
politician and former vice
president; He stated that Nixon
would not be tied down to the
policies of the Johnson
Humphrey Administration
concerning the Vietnam War.
Nixon has a much broader
and sophisticated analysis of the
problem than either Rockefeller
or McCarthy, according to
Wainscott.
Wainscott was especially
enthusiastic about what he
called the "new approach"
Nixon was making in dealing
with the problems of the urban
ghetto through his proposed
program of encouraging black
capitalism.
When asked about the
candidacy of Rockefeller,
Wainscott said that Nixon did
not believe in attacking other
Republicans. Nonetheless,
Wainscott noted that the GOP in
New York had gone from a
majority to a minority status in
the legislature while Rockefeller
has been governor. Each time
Rockefeller has run for governor
his percentage of the vote has
fallen as well as his plurality, he
said.
After leaving UNC Wainscott
went on to several other schools
and communities in both North
and South Carolina in an effort
to organize Nixon Youth groups.
The speech was sponsored by
the UNC Students for Nixon.
Anyone interested in either
obtaining literature or assisting
in the campus campaign are
urged to contact the chairman of
the group, Jeff Gayner in 402
Ruffin.
The institute's agenda begins
with general discussions and
sessions on the Vietnam war,
and the world economic needs.
Speaker on Saturday will be
Edwin M. Yoder, former
professor at Chapel Hill and
currently assistant editor of the
Greensboro Daily News. Yoder
will speak on "1968 Presidential
Election What Impact on Stable
Peace?"
The Honorable Graham
Anderson Martin, United States
Ambassador to Thailand, will
present a speech entitled "A
Constructive United States
Foreign Policy."
Last year's institute, which
was also held at Black Mountain,,
was attended by about 350
people from North Carolina,
South Carolina and Virginia.
The theme of last year's
conference was the war in
Vietnam. The resolutions passed
by the group were sent to the
senators and congressmen of the
three states.
About 400 people are
expected for the three-day
institute this year.
Accommodations are available at
daily and conference rates for
anyone interested in attending
the Institute or a session of it.
ISC Director Steve Mueller,
who attended last year's
conference said, "The Institute
offers a very enjoyable
atmosphere to discuss the
revelant issues of our time."
For a schedule of the sessions
or an application form,
interested students may drop by
the International Student Center
Program's Office.
