An Princeton, N.J., October 3 election campaign promising rich rewards for the successful candidates gets under way today ae thousands of faculty members from universities and colleges in the United States and Canada begin to nominate college seniors for Wood-roWilson graduate fellowships. In announcing the opening of the competition for the academic year 1961-6Dr. Hugh Taylor, President of the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, estimated that well over 9,000 students will be nominated by the closing date of October 31. w 2, Designed to reduce a nation-wid- e shortage of qualified college teachers, the program annually awards 1000 fellowships for first year graduate study at any university of the recipients choice in the United States or Canada. Candidates are elected only after rigorous screening and personal interviews by one of fifteen regional committees of educators. Each elected fellow receives a $1500 stipend for living expenses plus full tuition and famv ily allowances. The program is open to college graduates mainly in the humanities and social sciences. Both men and women are eligible, and there is no limit on the age of the candidate or on the number of years he may have been out of college. Those who receive awards are not asked to commit themselves to college teachings, but merely to consider it. seriously as a possible career. The program, designed to en courage college seniors of outstanding ability to study for advanced degrees with faculty jobs as their goal, is administered by the Wood-roWilson National Fellowship Foundation under a $24,500,000 five year grant from the Ford Foundation. The Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation does not accept applications directly from students. Every candidate for the award must be nominated by a faculty member. Nominated students are invited to declare themselves active candidates for the award by sending the necessary application forms to the chairman of the selection committee for the region in which the prospective candidate is now located. A list of the fifteen regions and the names of the regional chairmen may be obtained from the Foundations national headquarters, Box 642, Princeton, New Jersey. ComingElectioi Stressed by Con.

These were the era of Jefferson, the era of Lincoln, and the era of Roosevelt. He stated further that the problems that confronted the new deal period have been basically resolved by 1960, . . . and we can all fairly agree that the fourth great period begins in 1960. That ad-va- tag. Congressman King explaining the policy of democratic liberalism went on to say, We believe as Jefferson said sovereignty is rooted in the people and in the people alone! However, we have found that when people are completely free, they have a tendency to prey upon each other. When one man gets a break, he uses it as a weapon. I have nothing against wealth.
