^p -Carolinia The University of North Carolina at Greensboro Tuesday, Phone: (336) 334-5752 March 16,1999 Fax: (336) 334-3518 Volume 78 Students begin masters program Staff Reports Graduate students have been selected for a master's degree program in adolescent language disorders at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro. The program will benefit North Carolina educators who will be helping young people with lan-guage prohlems. The graduate students are Amy Perdew Stevens of 218-A High Ridge Drive, Sanford: Jennifer L. Brucke of 190 Brookforest Drive. Win-ston- Salem: Kelly Turner Harrington of 5473 Amick Road. Julian: Tennille Maria Bushur of 2205 New Garden Road, and Virginia Spell Stump of 3200 Canterbury St.. both of Greensboro. The program is being funded through a three-year grant from the U.S. Office of Special Education and Reha-bilitative Services, which is part of the U.S. Department of Education. Grants for the project are expected to total $4(X),594. Dr. Jacqueline M. Cimorelli and Vicki McCready, faculty members in UNCG's program in communication sciences and disorders, are the project directors. The project coordi-nator is Perry P. Flynn. a lec-turer in communication sci-ences and disorders at UNCG The project will prepare master's level, certified speech-language pathologists to work specifically with ado-lescents who have language disabilities. Ultimately. 15 students will receive stipends through the project while seeking master's degrees at UNCG. The students who earn master's degrees will be obli-gated to spend at least two years working with adoles-cents with language disabili-ties in the North Carolina pub-lic schools. The speech-language pa-thologists would help middle school and high school youth. A major goal of the project is to fill a void by training quali-fied speech-language patholo-gists to help adolescents. Many middle schools and high schools offer limited speech-language services, with emphasis having been given to early childhood in-tervention. The N.C. Department of Public Instruction has identi-fied a shortage of adequately trained speech-language pa-thologists as one of the most pressing needs among state schools. As part of the project, a clinic to assist adolescents with language disorders will be held during the summer of 1999 at UNCG. The clinic also will allow UNCG students to receive fur-ther training by working with adolescents. Unpredictable weather doesn't deter British students during research projects Staff Reports Academically, two British chemistry students felt pre-pared for their 10-wcck re-search projects at The Univer-sity of North Carolina at Greensboro. Preparing for North Carolina's ever-changing win-ter weather was another mat-ter. When the students left En-gland, it was 65 degrees in Greensboro. But shortly after their arrival here, temperatures plummeted. "I brought five pairs of shorts and T-shirts." said Robin Fortt. 21. a student at Nottingham Trent University in England, lamenting the 20- degrce weather outside. "The coldness is very much like home." said Jackie Rossell. 24, Font's classmate. "You never know what to wear." Font and Rossell are at UNCG because Nottingham Trent requires its chemistry students to do research projects in order to earn an undergradu-ate degree. At Nottingham Trent, students earn their un-dergraduate degrees in three years instead of four. While most of their classmates chose to do their research in England. Fortt and Rossell decided to come to the United States. Both stu-dents said that doing research in another country will make them more marketable to em-ployers. "If you're just at home, your view is very narrow." Rossell said. "So many students do their three-year degrees and never leave campus." Fortt said. "Our grades may not be bet-ter than theirs, but we'll stand out (because of this experi-ence)." UNCG also benefits from the students, because they provide additional help with faculty research, said Dr. Terence Nile, head of UNCG's Department of Chemistry. The students' living expenses are paid by grants from back home, and an anonymous UNCG donor covered their airfare, which is heavily dis-counted for British students, he said. The students aren't tak-ing classes at UNCG. They're treating the research experi-ence like a full-time job. work-ing 40 hours a week in the lab. Fortt is doing research on molecular gears with Dr. Eric Johnston, an assistant pro-fessor. He is picking up expe-rience in NMR spectroscopy. a valuable research tool. Rossell is working with Dr. Thomas Shields, an assis-tant professor. Their biochem-istry project involves attaching gold nano-particles to RNA for use as biosensors. She wouldn't have been able to do such research back home, she said, because Nottingham Trent doesn't have a biochem-istry program. The students arrived at UNCG in February and will return to England in May. Once they get home, they'll have to take an exam and present their research be-fore graduating in July. The experience has been a little overwhelming for Rossell. who. apart from a family vacation in the United States 10 years ago, has spent her entire life in Nottingham. "It's a bit daunting, but I'm OK." she said with a smile. Fortt has studied in the United States before; he once spent a semester at the Northern Ari-zona University. This is the second time that UNCG has played host to British chemis-try students. Three students did research there last spring. Nile said he hopes that the relation-ship between the two univer-sities leads to student and fac-ulty exchanges in the future. Nile praised the British students for their commitment to their work. "Last year. I had a hard time getting the kids to take time off." he said. It's quite an honor y CiartnerJ On this past Sunday, Alpha Lambda Delta an honor society for freshman inducted 150 new members. The honor society which was founded in 1924 at the University of Illinois, requires that these fresh-men have a (. I' \ of 3.5 or higher. Dole makes announcement in her hometown Salisbury, NC Associated Press SALISBURY, N.C. (AP)- Favorite daughter Elizabeth Dole returned home Saturday for an old-fashioned political rally welcomed by 1,000 sup-porters urging her to press ahead with her presidential ambitions. "Salisbury will forever be my home." Mrs. Dole said af-ter listening to speeches from former neighbors, local politi-cians and longtime friends in a small gymnasium at Livingstone College. "'My roots are deep here," she said, as her supporters cheered and held signs, includ-ing one homemade one which said simply: "Dole in Y2K." Although she is still not an official candidate for the Re-publican nomination. Mrs. Dole spoke like someone who is serious about making a White House bid next year. Her 30-minute speech, de-livered without notes as she walked through the crowd, addressed issues such as de-fense spending, education and the war on drugs. While her themes were serious, the mood was celebratory inside the gym at the historically black col-lege, which is located just a few blocks from her childhood home in downtown Salisbury. Seated up front was her mother, Mary Hanford, 97, along with other family mem-bers and friends. Red. white and blue buntings hung from the ceiling and a large sign over the stage said: "Elizabeth Dole 2(XX)." On Wednesday, Mrs. Dole inched closer to a full-Hedged presidential campaign by an-nouncing the formation of an exploratory committee. At the rally Saturday, she only hinted that she was ready to make a run. The closest she came to doing so was when Vincent Boyle, a second-grader from Salisbury, presented her with a belated Valentine's Day card, which said: "1 would love to go on va-cation with you." "Vincent, I can't go on va-cation because that would take too much time." she told the young boy. "Maybe we can go out together on the campaign trail." There were some empty seats in the gym that holds about 1.600 people. That didn't stop Frank Gudger. 83. of Salisbury, from taking it all in from the back of the room. "She seems like the good home-grown type of person, not someone who's out to get recognition or a notorious per-son." he said. Gudger said he planned to vote for Dole if she ran. but questioned if some other Americans might have prob-lems with her gender. "Yes. it will be a problem." he said. Up in the gym bleach-ers, Haseed Ahmed came to the rally with his 7-year-old daughter. Samara. A Demo-crat. Ahmed said he doubts he would vote for her. but **1 think she's a great role model for my daughter." Salisbury mayor Susan Kluttz welcomed the guest of honor with a indirect attack on the current officeholder. "We are so proud of you, Mrs. Dole, for your character and your integrity." she said. "We are proud of your many accomplishments and now you may be headed to the White House." Earl Cox. who spearheaded a draft campaign for Mrs. Dole, ended his grassroots ef-fort with her announcement. "Elizabeth Dole is the kind of person who will make good things happen for America." he said. Twins Michelle and Jus-tin Leonard, who were part of a group of local high school students that ran more than 250 miles in an effort to persuade Mrs. Dole to run for president, told supporters it was worth all the effort. "We're running for the future of our great nation." Justin Leonard said. "We don't want you to run 253 miles like we did. We want you to run for the president of the United States." What's inside?
