  • PAGE 16/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/SEPTEMBER 22, 1977 Friends of Animals offer scholarship Friends of Animals, Inc., a New York-based national humane conservation organization, has announced a scholarship program for university students. The program is aimed at focusing interest on the relationship of humans to other life forms as well as inducing student concern for the work of Congress. Annual scholarship awards in the aggregate amount of $8,000 will be given those students who submit the finest essays in support of a federal legislative campaign to end human exploitation of animals. The 1977-78 essay contest will center on the Williams-Long bill in the Congress which would ban the interstate shipment of furs from any state or nation which has not banned the leg-hold trap, the device used to catch and hold fur-bearers such as raccoon, bobcat, coyote and other animals wanted by the fur industry. The scholarship program was made possible by a grant from Regina Bauer Frankenberg, a director of FoA and president of its Washington lobby, the Committee for Humane Legislation, Inc. Miss Frankenberg's motivation for the grant, she said, was to "engender concern for the environment and non-humans in young people." She noted that "new technology provides alternatives to the exploitation of animals for food, material, sport and scientific research." "And," Miss Frankenberg continued, "we want to encourage the young people who will be in charge of a new world which includes the earth and animals in its ethical scheme to expedite the transition through rational and philosophical influence on the people and the Congress." The scholarship awards will be made to students, undergraduate or graduate, majoring in the fields of philosophy, journalism, law, economics, theology, and or political science.

The Revolutionary Cannabis Party (RCP) sent President Carter's mother a letter urging decriminalization of marijuana along with two marijuana cigarettes last August. Earlier, Miss Lillian told People magazine that she has never smoked dope, but if her son's proposal to lift federal criminal penalties for possession of up to one ounce becomes law, she hopes to see some. Along with instructions on smoking the joints, the RCP warned Miss Lillian that there are some disadvantages to smoking pot. "One of which is the dreaded munchies...Another disadvantage is that marijuana is still illegal...However, we doubt if you really have to be concerned with being arrested. So enjoy yourself". The letter was signed "Fidel Castor-oil." So far, no word on Miss Lillian. Rogers Magee of Aiken, S.C, conducted a dulcimer-building workshop for about 30 interested persons last weekend at WCU.
