Foundation Fellows accept new
students, award scholarships
By LUCAS KLAUSS
lklauss@randb.com
Seventy-two University
applicants recently found even
greater reasons to make their
homes in Athens.
Between Feb. 28 and March
1, Foundation Fellowship
applicants
participated in an interview
weekend at the University
which serves as the final stage
in the selection process.
The Foundation Fellowship
program provides selected
outstanding students with an
annual $7,500 scholarship for
in-state students and an
$11,500 scholarship for out-of-
state students, along with a
tuition waiver.
Other benefits of the
program include travel-study
and research grants.
Jere Morehead, associate
provost and director of the
Honors and Foundation
Fellows programs, said the 72
finalists were selected from a
pool of more than 800 appli
cants.
Morehead said finalists are
chosen based on academic
achievement, leadership abili
ties and community service.
Bob Spatig, associate direc
tor of Admissions, said stu
dents attending the weekend
were evaluated further based
on group discussions, essays
and interviews.
Spatig said the board then
chose the students most likely

in-state students and an annu
al $6,000 for out-of-state stu
dents as well as a $2,000 travel-
study grant.
Spatig said the new Fellows
will have much to look forward
to.
“It is not just a scholarship,
it is a way of bringing student
scholars together and allowing
them to take advantage of
what the University has to
offer,” Spatig said.
Chloe Thompson,
Foundation Fellow and fresh

Sisters offer naughty adventure
By CASSANDRA BELTER
cbelter@randb.com
This generation is fairly
familiar with the Choose
Your Own Adventure series
— the books gave kids a
chance to either attempt to
survive perilous science
fiction and mystery
situations or to make
purposefully bad choices to
see what would happen.
Two L.A. twentysome-
things recently decided to
bring this concept into a
whole new world of
deliberation.
“Tangle in Tijuana” is the
first installment of the Miss
Adventure series, written by
sisters Lilia and Nora
Zuckerman.
In “Tangle in Tijuana,” the
reader has the pleasure of
making a number of compli
cated decisions such as
choosing between over-the-
counter Mexican Viagra or
backseat loving with an
old high school acquain
tance.
(Note: Don’t pick either of
SPECIAL | The Red & Black
those — I hit a dead end two
minutes later as a sexual
addict back in L.A.)
Clearly, the book is aimed
at frivolous females, relaxing
on the beach for spring
break, sipping cocktails and
giggling with their pals.
The book may even be fun
to peruse aloud when every
one is on their fourth mar-
garita. For all the boys who
leaf through “Cosmopolitan”
and sit in on “Sex in the
City,” this book could prove
rather entertaining.
“Tangle” opens with “you”
and friend Lani, cruising
towards Tijuana from L.A.,
puffing on menthol ciga
rettes and drinking Diet
Cokes in order to cope with
serious hangovers.
The first decision to make
is between parking your car
in the United States and
“hoofing it” over the border
or driving Lani’s 1970s
Mustang straight across.
Don’t worry — the deci
sions get far more naughty
after that, usually involving
some sort of sexual escapade
or wild drinking experience.
Throwing all caution to
the wind, I drank a tequila
worm, hallucinated, gave a
Mexican “Federale” $100 and
my Victoria Secret bra after
urinating in the desert and
sold a donkey into
prostitution.
As I was repeatedly killing
the story in 10-minute inter
vals, I became somewhat
tired of the flipping around
and decision-making.
When I am lying on the
beach, I want serious pleas-
BOOK REVIEW
ure reading that requires lit
tle brainwork and no
movement.
However, this book could
be fun for the road trip down
to the beach, when still six
hours away from the first
tequila shot.
The bios of the
Zuckerman sisters are
almost more interesting than
the book: pure Southern
California girls raised in
Palos Verdes, Nora studied
screenwriting at USC’s
School of Cinema-Television,
and Lilia double majored in
Art History and Theatre at
Northwestern University.
Apparently, some of the
best educations available
couldn’t rid these women of
silly L.A. nonsense.
Either way, the small
paperback could serve as
one source of cheap enter
tainment over spring break
that won’t require dad bail
ing anybody out.
