READER Thank You To the Chairperson and Members of the Election Screening Committee: On behalf of the Student Government Association, I would like to take this opportunity to both thank and congratulate each of you on the Election Screening Committee for a job well done. The results of the election were compiled and reported in record time. This allowed time to notify all winning candidates at a reasonable hour. In the past years the results would not have been compiled before one a.m. The results were of such magnitude that they were above reproch from allquarters. Once again, allow me to thank you and all S.G.A. members who helped make the Election a success. We will be looking forward to your dedicated envolvement in the future. Without help such as yours, The Student Govern ment Association would have no reason to continue. Respectfully Joseph A. Mahar President, S.G.A. '.I IOTE! V/ITE! Credit Available For Publication Work by Rick Haythornthwaite Staff Writer The Multi-Media independ ent study course has been redefined by Mark Dorfman, Coordinator of the Multi-Media Option, and Dr. James D. South, Director of Student Affairs. The revised course allows students who have worked on the C.C. Reader, the Capitolite or other publications, to use their experience to satisfy certain requirements for the course. Mr. Dorfman mentioned that, in the past, several editors have come to him with the hope of receiving credit for their work on various publica tions and had been turned down. This course is, in a sense, an answer to their pleas. Grants Philip Morris In corporated has announced its ninth annual Marketing- Communications Competition for College Students. The purpose of the competition is to provide students with a practical and realistic business project, bringing them into direct contact • with the business community. A $l,OOO grant will be awarded to the winning entries at both the undergraduate and graduate level; runners-up will receive $5OO grants, and other finalists in the undergraduate and graduate categories will receive special merit awards. Entries may deal with any , aspect of the broad areas of marketing-communications related to Philip Morris In corporated, its operating companies or any of its non tobacco products.

Reader, then the pieces will be graded, but not until after they have been published. In this way, Mr. Dorfman feels, the writing for the paper will not be censored. Furthermore, as the quality of the student's writing improves, the overall quality of the paper will be improved. The Independent Study Course will be offered Winter term, 1978, and will be 3 to 4 credits. Available level under the counsel of full time faculty members may submit proposals. A distinguished committee of marketing-communications experts will judge selected entries. They are: Eugene H. Kummel, chairman of the board, McCann Erickson; Mary Wells Lawrence, chairman of the board, Wells, Rich, Greene; Arjay Miller, dean, Stanford University Graduate School of Business; In addition to the grants, two student representatives and the faculty advisor from each of the winning and run ner-up committees will be invited to be Philip Morris's guests at corporate headquarters in New York or at another corporate location to discuss their proposals with Philip Morris executives.
