2The Daily Tar HeelThursday, December 10, 1992 M arshall Scholarship win hair-cutting matter for Busby By Peter Sigal Staff Writer Josh Busby startled his fellow stu dents in mid-November by neatly trim ming his normally wild, shoulder-length hair. But he had a good reason for his new haircut an interview with the Marshall Scholarship selection committee. Busby, a senior from College Sta tion, Texas, was awarded one of only 36 British Marshall Scholarships this week, after being selected from a pool of about 3,000 applicants. Busby, a biology and political sci ence major, was selected from the South east region. The scholarship is worth about $21 ,000 per year. It includes room and board, tuition fees, books and all travel expenses. Scholars may study at any university in Great Britain at either the graduate or undergraduate level. Ted Leinbaugh, assistant professor of English and a former Marshall Scholar, said that the scholarship was just as prestigious as the more well known Rhodes Scholarship. One dif ference is that the Rhodes Scholarship is only affiliated with Oxford and Cam bridge universities, while the Marshall is more flexible, he said. The Marshall Scholarships were founded by an Act of Parliament in 1 953 to commemorate the Marshall Plan for European recovery after World War II. They are funded by the British gov ernment and administered in the U. S. by the British Embassy. Prince Charles is the symbolic head of the program. Busby also applied for a Rhodes Scholarship but said the Marshall Schol arship was better suited to his plans. "It's really exciting," he said. "The School of Development Studies at the University of East Anglia was right in line with what I want to do." He said he would study an interdisci plinary program involving economic development and natural resource con servation. Busby was one of 30 students chosen by the Southeast regional committee in Atlanta for a final interview. He said he asked Leinbaugh if he should cut his hair for the interview. Busby said that while Leinbaugh told him not to worry about the length of his hair, Busby's previous experience ap plying for scholarships convinced him otherwise. He said he wanted the selection com mittee to judge him on the basis of what he said in the interview, "not as a long haired granola lover." "My hair will always grow back," Busby said. Busby, co-chairman of the UNC chapter of the Student Environmental Action Coalition, began his activist work while in high school in Texas. He was involved in Students Against Apartheid and other political causes. During his career at UNC, he has been involved with SEAC and is a mem ber of Chi Psi fraternity. This year, he is serving as the Inter-Fratemity Council' s liaison to the Black Creek Council and is co-chairman of the Greek Recycling and Environmental Action Committee. Busby said he wanted to use the skills he learned in England in the Peace Corps, then work with development programs in Spanish-speaking countries. Eventu ally, he would like to work in underde veloped areas of the United States, per haps in poorer parts of Texas or North Carolina. List Busby said he was committed to en vironmentalism but was not a wide eyed radical. His internship with U.S. Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, D-Texas, this past summer showed him that environmentalism and economic development go hand-in-hand, Busby said. Leinbaugh said the scholarship re cipients were judged for three criteria: a record of proven academic excellence applicants must have at least an A grade point average outstanding ex tracurricular activities and the promise of future contributions to society. from page 1 Y Ctut V,ur tjj j ( idt Clott fat, ) smsmmts- mmmmmmmmmmmvMai.ammmm 1 I GET THE EDGE ON YOUR EXflMSl , Mm QM&MmM onship," Brian Reese, junior for ward, men 's basketball team.
