'Project Africa' Forms Prepared

Applications for participation in Phillips Brooke House "Project Tanganyika" have been drafted and will be available at PBH at the end of January, Peter Goldmark '62, director of the Project, stated yesterday.

After their applications have been read, students will be interviewed by a committee of PBH students, admissions officials, and possibly members of the faculty, Goldmark said. He called the interview "the most important criterion for acceptance."

The Project, which will send 20 University students to Tanganyika in June to teach and do social work, has already had a fine response among students here. About 30 have expressed interest in participating. Goldmark noted.

The Project's chief worry continues to be finances. It lacks the entire $30,000 needed to pay for the program. The group hopes for a $10,000 donation from The Rockefeller Brothers Fund which is currently "considering whether to support us." The Carnegie Corporation has promised $5,000 if the Project is still short in the spring. Individual donors are expected to come through with $1,500 scholarships, Goldmark said.

If the Project cannot get full financial support, "we will send as many students as we can pay for," Goldmark stated.
