Prizes, Awards, Travel!

With the aim of promoting better public understanding of the American economic system, Champion International Corporation has inaugurated sponsorship of a program of annual media awards, to be administered by the Tuck School.

Likened to the Pulitzer prizes, the awards will recognize those articles, broadcasts, and telecasts deemed best at interpreting economic subjects in ways that are imaginative, interesting, and easily understandable to the average reader, viewer, or listener. The 1977 Media Awards will include prizes totaling $105,000 in 14 different categories of newspapers, magazines, news services, syndicates, radio, and television. First place winners in each category will receive $5,000; second place, $2,500. The competition is open to anyone employed by a recognized publication or electronic medium; entries must be original work published or broadcast in the current calendar year.

Among the panel of 11 judges, com- posed of business executives, labor representatives, and journalists, is Alexlander Calder Jr. '38, chairman and chief executive officer of Union Camp Corporation. President and chief executive officer of Champion International is Andrew C. Sigler '53, a graduate and an overseer of the Tuck School.

If economic reporting isn't your thing, consider applying for a Rhodes Scholarship. Alumni are eligible, as long as they are 24 or under. For a Marshall the age limit is 25, for a Fulbright Hays it goes all the way to the grand old age of 35.

Dartmouth can also nominate recent graduates for Luce Scholarships and Danforth Fellowships. The Luce Scholarship is for a one-year internship and work-study program in East Asia. It carries a stipend of $9,000 plus transportation, with a dependency allowance of $2,000. The age limit is 27. Applications for nomination - to be directed, like the others, to Evalyn Hornig, in College Hall - are due October 29. Applicants for a Danforth must plan to begin graduate study for a Ph.D., with a career goal of college teaching.

For foreign study, how about a Dartmouth Reynolds Scholarship? These awards, amounting to at least $3,500, are made in any field in any foreign country, normally in affiliation with a recognized educational institution. However, applications will not be accepted from graybeards five or more years beyond graduation.

During Commencement, Ann HopkinsSpahr received a presentation copy of Hopkins of Dartmouth, the account of herfather's years as President of the College.She in turn presented Mr. Hopkins' seniorcane to the College Archives. And by neatcoincidence there is now at Dartmouth asenior by the name of E. Martin Hopkins,the late president's grandniece Elizabeth.
