Project to Help the Poor.

The College plans a joint-service team consisting of students from Dartmouth and Talladega College in Alabama to help the poor of the South and of Vermont this summer. The 25 students from Talladega, an integrated although predominantly Negro institution, and an equal number from Dartmouth will meet in Washington, D. C.; then divide into two units, 30 to work as tutors to 9th and 10th grade children in Talladega County, Alabama, and twenty to work in rural Vermont.

The program, announced by Dean of the Tucker Foundation Richard P. Unsworth in a recent College Service sermon, will bring the students together again after eight weeks of work-service to discuss their experiences. At that point the Southern team will go to Vermont for three days, and the Vermont team will go South for a similar period.

"We hope the effect of the teams' work will be to open new doors of dignity and opportunity for the poor, and particularly among the young people among the poor with whom they will work," said Dean Unsworth. The work in Vermont is being supported by the Southeastern Vermont Community Action Program. Federal support is being sought for the team that will go into the South.
