Newspaper Page TextNovember, 1967 THE SPELMAN SPOTLIGHT Page 3 Who's Who Elected Each year, Spelman College participates in a nation-wide poll of those girls on campus who are rated as WHO’S WHO AMONG STUDENTS IN AMERICAN UNIVERSI TIES AND COLLEGES. This year we are proud to announce that fifteen Spelman women have been chosen to carry the coveted title. In order to qualify as a candidate for WHO’S WHO, students must be of junior or senior classification, be in the upper 10 percent of their class according to the grades made for the first semester of the previous year, and have good leadership and citizenship rec ords. The candidates are then voted upon by the sophomores, juniors, and seniors of the col lege. The “Spelman Spotlight” takes great pleasure in congrat ulating and presenting this year’s accepted nominees for WHO’S WHO. They are: Shirley Barber, Cheryl Birch- ette, Lillian Birchette, Jacque line B. Bush, Janice Friend, Maxine Hayes, Linda Housch, Marilyn Hunt, Cynthia Lem on, Shirley Marks, Marseille Miles, Sharon Rousaville, Phyllis Ruthledge, Jane Smith, Delores Yancy, Joyce Young. HEW- FIND SCHOLARSHIPS BY COMPUTER Last year $30 million in college schol arships went unclaimed — because no qualified persons applied . . . because no qualified persons knew of them. • Now ECS engineers and educators have programmed a high-speed com puter with 700,000 items of scholastic aid, worth over $500 million, to permit students to easily and quickly locate scholarships for which they qualify. • The student fills out a detailed, con fidential questionnaire and returns it to ECS, with a one-time computer-proces sing fee of $15. In seconds the compu ter compares his qualifications against requirements of grants set up by foun dations, business, civic, fraternal, re ligious, and government organizations, and prints a personalized report to the student telling him where and when to apply for grants for which he qual ifies. Thousands of these do not depend on scholastic standing or financial need.

J'l L' ~J Spelman Trades Again Evander McDowell Michele Smith Last semester, Spelman Col lege “traded” some of its most illustrious students in what is known as the Exchange Pro gram. This program is carried out in order to give interested students an opportunity to broaden their horizons through exposure to other cultural en vironments. The program con sisted of an equal exchange between four students from Spelman and four from three other colleges. The Spelman students involved were: Made- lyn Cooper, who went to Ce dar Crest College in Allen town, Pennsylvania, and who has now transferred to another college; Jacquelyn Howard, who attended Connecticut Col lege for Women in New Lon don, Connecticut, and who is presently in India on the Jun ior Year Abroad Program; and, Michele Smith and I, Evanda McDowell, who at tended North Central College in Naperville, Illinois. While at North Central, Michele and I found that many differences exist between a pre dominantly white school in the Midwest and our own pre dominantly Negro school in the South. Some of these dif ferences included methods of teaching, extra curricular ac tivities, dormitory procedures and general college rules. One of the main differences existed in the fact that the general atmosphere of the college seemed a freer one, partly be cause the school was co-ed. The attitude of the students in general seemed to be friend ly and to be filled with an awareness of the racial prob lem in America. We saw one example of this awareness when James Meredith ap peared as the main speaker at one of the chapel services. His speech sparked a great deal of controversy and critical thinking among members of the student body. For Michele and me, the entire semester proved to be filled with unforgettable ex periences. I suggest that inter ested students take advantage of this opportunity of examin ing life on other college camp uses through the Exchange Program. For details contact Dr. Randell, chairman of the Exchange Program. Evanda McDowell Current Events Test 1.

These three days were spent in Chi cago, Illinois at the Associated Collegiate Press Conference. The conference is held each year to enhance the knowledge of members of the newspaper and yearbook staffs in colleges and universities throughout the nation. Those students attend ing the conference have the opportunity to hear noteworthy speakers in the publication field, as well as prominent figures in the United States. Yet the best part of the con ference comes in the exchange of ideas among the students in attendance. To add a bit of spice to our lives, many of us had the op portunity of seeing noted stars such as Jimmy Durante and Aretha Franklin, who were staying at the Conrad Hilton. All in all, the conference proved to be an exciting way to learn more about the publi cations for colleges and uni versities. Team Workers Visit A team of five representa tives from the Plans for Pro gress Program visited Spelman October 18-20. The visit in cluded informal dormitory dis cussions, classroom visits, a panel discussion, faculty and staff conferences. Plans for Progress is a vol untary effort by the leadership of American business and in dustry to participate aggres sively in the promotion and implementation of equal em ployment opportunities. The program was conceived in 1961 as a cooperative adjunct to the President’s Committee on Equal Employment Oppor tunity, which is coordinating the many Federal Government efforts in this area. Since the program began, there has been an increase of more than 100,000 in the number of nonwhites employed by Plans for Progress firms. As a result of Plans for Pro gress, a task force of Negroes who are employed by major corporations was conceived to inform and motivate Negroes and other minority youth on the secondary and college levels. To assist the widespread dis semination of the new oppor tunities for minority groups in business and industry, the Ford Foundation has provided $250,000 for a massive public service campaign centered around the theme, “Things are Changing.” Pictured (L to R): George Jackson, Mrs. Sarah Smith, Mrs. C.
