University Gives Steel Fellowship The University, recently named a participating institution in the United States Steel Foundation Fellowship Program, has chosen Jens Joseph Robinson, a Neah kah-nie high school teacher to receive the University’s $4,800 two-year fellowship. Robinson, one of the 80 U.S. Steel foundation fellows in the nation, is chairman of the sci ence department and a chemis try teacher at Neah-kah-nie High School, where he has been a member of the staff since 1960. He also serves as assistant to the superintendent of schools of Neah-kah-nie school district 56. tasbilshcd since Feb. 1, 1964. It is designed to salvage high school dropout students who do not pos sess the necessary skills to get jobs on their own. The screening for the trainees is done at various employment agencies throughout the United States. The program is currently prov ing successful; however, there are still many problems, Shcllen barger said. When the boys come to Tongue Point they are usually rated 100 per cent failures by high school standards. They have a bitter attitude which is the product of approxi mately 16 years of failure at home, school, and jobs, he add ed. i Most of the boys need to be toned down socially, and about 45 ] per cent of them are Negroes The boys have an extreme desire to get along with others, he said, and they are eager to learn. The Tongue Point Center cur rently has three programs to j aid the boys in their vocational training. They have about 800 boys chosen from 200,000 appli- j cations. Out of the 800 boys 20 i to 30 receive diplomas and are | sent to their jobs. "The Tongue Point Job Corps program cer tainly cannot cure poverty,” Shel lenbarger concluded, “it cannot reach enough boys rapidly j enough.” Research ... (Continued from page 6) productive. At the present time, many large institutions often submit requests for five times more money than they receive. Almost | all of these big-volume research schools can and will expand, given the funds to do the job. When money is sidetracked to small colleges experimenting with research, the result is a slow down in the degree of the nation's technological advance at a time when speed is impor tant. ft is incredible to believe that a college which has a small research facility with limited resources can do a study as efficiently as a school with a well-developed and coordinated program which can be expanded. Research requires excellence, not mediocrity, and the small school cannot offer excellence.; Let the small school concen i trate in other fields and leave research to those schools which can handle it.
