All University students are eligible to enter the contest. The essays should discuss one's definition of prejudice, how it has affected their own life and solutions that can solve these problems.
The winner will receive a $500 scholarship, and all applicants will be invited to a banquet in April that will feature various speakers.
Entries must be limited to five typed pages and submitted by March 8. For more information, stop by the Office of Greek Life, located in the Michigan Union.
The focus of the project is to aid studies in languages taught by smaller University departments. The limited scope of these departments often makes it difficult for students to take courses beyond the introductory level.
The use of computers is intended to help students with drills and aid in the long-distance aspect of the program, as well as allow professors more time to teach other programs.
The long-distance advantage should allow University students to interact with students at other schools.
The expansion of Hindi and Middle Egyptian programs are scheduled to be sponsored by the University of Michigan and the University of Chicago. Other universities involved on the project are the University of Wisconsin and Northwestern University. Both will jointly sponsor the study of Swahili.
Participating students will look at their own background while learning about the values and experiences of students from different backgrounds. Much of the group work will analyze biases toward particular cultures and how they affect cross-cultural relations.
Accommodations for participants will be provided. Interested students can call 764-9189 for more information.
Twelve semi-finalists will perform at Rackham Auditorium on Feb. 27 at 5 p.m. Three finalists will be chosen to perform with the Ann Arbor Symphony at Hill Auditorium on March 1.
Students can participate in 10-week summer programs or 16-week fall programs. Areas of study at the U.S. Energy federal laboratories include biology, computer science and environmental science.
