Tedford edits book on freedom By JOHN WEST
Dr. Thomas L. Tedford, a
20-year veteran professor of
communication and theatre,
has completed work on a col-lection
of essays concerning
the First Amendment.
Tedford and two other pro-fessors,
John J. Makay of Ohio
State University and David L.
Jamison of the University of
Akron, edited the essays from
selected journals of the
Speech Communication
Association (SCA). The essays
appear in a book called
"Perspectives on Freedom of
Speech," which was published
by Southern Illinios Universi-ty
Press.
According to Tedford, "We
wanted to give students and
teachers a collection of quali-ty
essays which covered
various aspects of free expres-sion."
The book is scheduled
to be placed in a library
reference section for easy ac-cess
to patrons.
With 17 essays and case
studies highlighting such
issues as ethics, communica-tion
history, theoretical
perspectives and legal
aspects, the book is useful for
courses in freedom of speech
and media law.
"As senior editor on the pro-ject
I was able to approach a
variety of free speech issues.
These include comments on
sedition, slander, libel and cen-sorship,"
said Tedford.
Although some essays address
censorship, Tedford sug-gested
the book was not in-tended
as a response to cen-sorship
in North Carolina's
new obscenity law. According
to Tedford, "In no way is this
book actively related to cen-sorship
in North Carolina."
Tedford has been a big op-ponent
of North Carolina's
new obscenity law, because he
feels it promotes censorship
and suppression of the First
Amendment. With this book
the question of free speech,
not so much censorship, will
be addressed toward
everyone.
Among Tedfrod's other
works are the textbook
"Freedom of Speech in the
United States" and an article
about the N.C. obscenity law
in the April 1986 issue of
"Penthouse."
Summer study available
ProfcMora Marraj and Fran Ardat boat Mauser trip abroad
An expanded array of
summer study programs
are offered in 1987, rang-ing
from England and
Spain to Ireland and
Greece. The land of
Camelot and Arthurian
legend beckons the inquir-ing
mind and adventurous
spirit to Exeter, England,
while the bountiful culture
and civilization of Spain
awaits in Madrid.
Explore the land and
literature of James Joyce in
Dublin, Ireland, or travel to
Athens to discover the
foundations of modern
drama in the theatre of an-cient
Greece.
Drs. Murray and Fran
Ardnt of the Residential
College will seek to bring
the Arthurian mythology
alive and capture the spirit
of the region that spawned
it. Teachers of a popular
course in Grail literature
since 1973, the Arndt's
have both done graduate
study in medieval, 19th and
20th century British
literature and American
literature.
Material for the Ardnt's
course work was sup-plemented
by a visit to Ar-thurian
sites in England, in-cluding
Tintagel and
Glastonbury, in the sum-mer
of 1979.
The estimated cost of
$2,350 includes roundtrip
airfare from Greensboro to
London, all program-related
travel in England,
lodging, two meals per day,
admission fees, guides and
study for the six weeks,
June 24-Aug. 2.
If you'd rather improve
your fluency in Spanish,
while discovering the coun-try's
unique history, art,
literature and religion, then
you'll want to study in
Madrid under Drs. Ramiro
Lagos and Mark I. Smith-
Soto. Living with a Spanish
family and taking your
language study into the
streets and shops will not
only encourage your profi-ciency
but also familiarize
you with practical,
idiomatic Spanish.
The estimated $1,975
cost for the May 12- June
22 session includes New
York-Madrid roundtrip air-fare,
lodging, two meals
per day and excursions.

Students hurt by
aid restrictions
By MICKEY FREEMAN
Two new financial aid-related
acts are going to
change next year's financial
aid eligibility, award amounts
and application procedures.
Some scholarship and grant
monies could become taxable,
most student loan programs
will become totally need-based,
and undergraduate
students under age 24 will
have to report parent financial
information. In addition,
many grant and loan amounts
will be increased.
The Tax Reform Act of
1986 brings immediate
changes to scholarships,
fellowships and tuition remis-sions.
First, scholarship and
fellowship grants will only be
excludable from income of a
degree candidate in an
amount reflecting qualified
tuition and related expenses.
Any amount exceeding these
expenses will be considered in-come
and subject to federal in-come
taxation.
The second change concerns
grants made to students in ex-change
for teaching, research,
grading or other services to
UNCG. Regardless of whether
a service is required for a
degree program, the grants
paid to students will be con-sidered
wages and UNCG will
withhold for income tax pur-poses
on these funds. College
Work-Study Program
students will be considered
"employees" for these pur-poses.
Students should expect
to be asked to submit new
withholding forms to meet
these new requirements.
Federal grants and loan
amounts have been increased.
Pell Grant awards have been
