Graduate Students Receive
Eight Research Fellowships
Eight graduate students at the University have been awarded $1,000
fellowships for research in metropolitan community problems to be
carried out at Flint, under the leadership of Joseph Douglas Carroll,
Jr., Resident Director of the University of Michigan Social Science Re-
search Project at Flint.
* * *
THE FELLOWSHIP holders are Elden Brigham, Jack Jordan,
Reuben Sternfeld, Noland Heiden, Stuart Eurman, Arthur Hinman.
William Winter, and Thomas Dinell.
Together with Carroll they will continue the two-year study
of the social, economic, and political problems facing a typical
urban community.
Some of the research studies which have already been completed
include studies on Flint's trade and service area, urban decentraliza-
tion, "fringe area" problems, and library facilities in Genesee County.
* * *
The research will sesume on Oct. 1, and Carroll and his assistants
will live in Flint during the studies.
Whose a Democrat?
MONTGOMERY, Ala.-()-
Alabama, which has~ supported
every Democratic candidate
since 1872, may be the only
state this year where the voters
can't mark their ballots for
President Truman.
The question hasn't been
been settled yet in Louisiana
and Georgia, but every other
southern state has a place on
the November ticket for Tru-
man or electors pledged to him.
The President's name was
dropped from the ballot in
Louisiana, and Gov. J. Strom
Thurmond of South Carolina
and Fielding Wright of Missis-
sippi were designated the offi,
cial candidates
Gov. Earl K. Long called the
legislature into special session,
however, to get Truman back
in the running.
Georgia's Gov. M. E. Thomp-
son also today called a special
session of straighten out the
election tangle in that state.
