Students participating in California Community College Extended Opportunity Programs will be eligible for furthering their education at four-year institutions under a new $2.1 million Ford Foundation scholarship program.
Each student will be nominated by his own Community College, and may attend any senior college or university to which he can gain admission. Many students currently participating in the California EOP program will be nominated for the grants throughout the state. Community Colleges State Chancellor Sidney W. Brossman said the national effort is an expansion of a Ford Foundation pilot program in Michigan and Illinois where 133 minority group graduates of Community College are continuing their studies in senior institutions with foundation assistance. Eligible students must complete a transfer program in a two-year institution by August and start their upperdivision studies as full-time students in September, 1971. The scholarship winners will receive between 20 to 80 percent of their educational expenses at senior colleges. Awards will be granted for one year, renewable for full-time students making satisfactory progress toward baccalaureate degrees. The foundation said it is sending detailed information and application forms to each two-year college in the nation. Interested students should consult with officials of their colleges; nominations will be made by the twoyear colleges and not by the foundation. Announcements of winners and honorable-mention students will be made in the spring, and their names and addresses will be sent to all colleges.

NAVY JOURNALIST
Vautier off to Midway By Molleen Hoey Lazy breezes, waving palm trees, a relaxed leisurely paced life - such is the "fate" of Paul Vautier when he and his family move to Midway Island in February. Paul, Chief Journalist in the U.S. Navy has been attending Palomar for the last two years under the (ADCOP) Navy Associate Degree Completion Program. Graduating in February he is assigned to head up .a nAmerican Forces Radio/TV Station on Midway, an island in the Pacific, six miles long where private transportation is by "shanks pony" or two wheel self locomoted power. One of 300 men chosen annually by a navy selection board, Paul was assigned to Palomar, one of five participatingtwo year colleges under the program. While attending school full time, no military duties are assigned, but on completion of requirements for an AA degree the
participant is re-assigned to fleet duties. In Vautier's case, his assignment was a much sought position in the field of his choice. With seven years to go for a twenty year retirement, Journalist Vautier feels that his inclusion in the ADCOPprogram will enhance the opportunity for promotion, but, more importantly, ... "education is always helpful to a person, no matter what he wants to do." Speaking in a forceful, but calm manner, Chief Vautier reflected on the impact of his sojourn at Palomar, stating, "I believe that the mixing of career military people with today's youth in an academic environment is beneficial to It provides both sides a more both. intimate relationship. Living together, so to speak, gives each a more accurate image of the other, rather than the stereotype image we tend to cast." He indicated that the perspective had certainly been sharpened by daily contact with students, that he was continually amazed at the total awareness oftoday's youth and opined that it can only be good for the country in the long run. Commenting on student violence he asserted, "It is unfortunate that a vocal minority should be used as a gauge of all young people. Sure, there are many improvements to be made in this country. They can and should be made, however, through the democratic process."
PAUL VAUTIER
He stressed his belief in the right to dissent--not to destroy. The need for law enforcement--not repression, and that somewhere between the two extremes lies the answer to the dilemma. As he moves away from tne campus environment and back to the mainstream of his military career, Vautier emphasized, "If I have learned anything from this interlude that can be applied to the "communications gap" between young and old it can be summed up in one word--listen."
