University
offers more
awards
The University plans to offer
more National Merit Scholar
ships to incoming freshmen
next year than it has offered any
year since the program began
four years ago, according to
Admissions Director Jim Buch.
The scholarships, which are
awarded on the basis of need
and academic achievement, are
being presented to 19 fresh
men, compared to three Na
tional Merit Scholarships
awarded in 1979 and eight in
1980
High school students begin
competing for the grants during
their junior year Those who
score among the top one-and
a-half percent in the Preliminary
Scholastic Aptitude Test are
selected as semi-finalists
Selected students apply tor
either a college-sponsored or
corporation-sponsored four
year Merit Scholarship, a Na
tional Merit Scholarship —
worth $1,000 — or a four-year
Special Scholarship
The college and corporation
sponsored grants range from
$250 to $2,000 per year, as does
the Special Scholarship The
National Merit Scholarship is a
one-time, lump sum of $1,000
Buch says the increased
number of scholarship
recipients choosing the Univer
sity may be partly because tui
tion at private schools has
become quite expensive
Despite this increase, Buch
predtcts a decrease in the total
number of new students for the
1982-83 academic year
He attributes part of the
projected enrollment decrease
to the new grade point average
requirement for in-state fresh
men, 2 75 instead of the
previous 2.5

Cox says ‘freeze’ is
step one to no nukes
The first step to reduce the
possibility of nuclear war is to
halt further build-up of nuclear
arms, says a Harvard University
professor.
"None of the next steps will
come," says Harvey Cox, "until
we take this step for a nuclear
freeze It has strategic and psy
chological importance."
“I don't think for a moment
that a nuclear freeze is the
answer," he told a Monday
night audience at Emerald Bap
tist Church. "But it seems to be
the first step we can use to enlist
a large number of people." Di
sarmament can only come after
a nuclear freeze, he added.
Cox works with the Traprock
Peace Center in Western Mas
sachusetts that works for the
establishment of a freeze on
nuclear weapons The coordin
ated nuclear freeze effort began
with the Traprock Peace Center
in March 1980, he said
"Six people in Deerfield.
Mass wanted to get a bilateral
nuclear moratorium on the bal
lot,” he said Petitions were dis
tributed and "enormous
amounts of people supported it.
“These were just plain, ordin
ary people Used car salesmen
and nurses. In just a few short
weeks, they (the Traprock
Peace Center) discovered they
had enough signatures to get it
on the ballot."

involved in the nuclear freeze
movement because "we have
reached a point where the ex
isting political mechanism has
become unresponsive to
something that is on the hearts
and minds of the people.
"All of this — tactical, first
strike, or whatever — is mad
ness. It's a movement toward
species annihilation."
Once the issue is brought
before them, politicians will
have to respond, Cox said.
“This is the largest grassroots
movement to pass through
America in many years. The
candidates will simply have to
address themselves to the is
