One chart showed how quickly alcohol impairs the bodies functions and how people are usually affected more than they realize. Another chart showed amounts of alcohol and the calories associated with each drink . The chart offered alternatives to the alcoholic beverages. The final pamphlet discussed bar environments and how to avoid drinking to extremes when going out. Some good tips were: deciding on what and how much to drink before going out and learning about nonalcoholic drinks available at bars.

How A Barn Became Arrowmont's Best Dorm
When Arrowmont began as The Craft Workshops in the summer of 1945, in expensive accommodations were needed for participants. Excerpts from Settlement School Reports give a colorful account of how a bam became Arrowmont's unique R ed Bam Dormitory.
"For 14 yea rs," Marion Mueller, Director of the Settlement Sc h oo l, wrote, "h ousing was provided through the 'te mp orary' conversion of the 44yea r- o ld e lementary sc h ool building into dormitory accommodat ions for additionallow-cost housing. When the W orkshop was started (in 1945), the Pi Phi grade schoo l building, as a temporary means of caring for students at low cost, was converted into a dormitory and then back into sc h oo l rooms."
Marion contin ued, "It is wise economy to make the best use of what one has. Pi Phi Settlement School has the uninhabited red bam strategically located near the staff house dining room. The bam n o longer shelters the cows and mules of days gone by; however it could have a useful future as a dormitory."
In June of 1958, contacts were made and plans started for remodeling the conveniently located Red Bam, if and when the chance came. With the receipt of the Marion Stoner Huey legacy and the settlement of the
Joanne King Hempstead estate, the chance came and a ll was ready to sprin g into action.
Th e new dormitory was finished for the 1959 Workshop, although the first students caught the staff adding the finishing touches when they walked into the building. In the presence of the Grand Council, the Settlement School Committee, the Province Officers, Little Pigeon Alumnae Club, and local friends, the Dedication on June 22 launched the Red Bam on a new career of service.
An article in the Winter 1959 ARROW stated that the Red Bam was built in 1923. "It served its purpose then as a model bam where the herd was kept and where boys of the School were taught the care of livestock. It was the home of Lady, the horse which the first Pi Phi nurse, Miss Phyllis Higinbotham, rode far into the hills to serve the mountain people. In the hayloft a new form of education was introduced when the first movies ever shown in the Burg were shown there. It

was t h e site of the first basketball games."
Today, the R ed Bam is Arrow mont's best known dormitory and can easily be spotted by motorists parked on overlooks high above Gatlinburg. A redwood deck and canopy were added in 1984 with funds from the bequest of Tenn essee Alpha Virginia Leeds Walter. Th ese addit ions have made the bam patio id ea l for week ly picnics d urin g Spring and Summer Workshops.
After more than 40 years of service to Arrowmont a nd Pi Phi, the Red Ba m still fulfills the p urp o e for which it was intended - that of widening the scope of the Fraternity's usefulness in educational fields. The Red Bam will soon be joined by a picturesque 18-room dormitory complete with screened front porch and the adjoining Marianne Reid Wild building with eight private rooms. Construction is now underway, with a completion date set for June of 1993
Arrowmont's Red Barn as it appears today. With three floors, it can house up to 41 people.

These lines from The Anecdote of the Jar by Wallace Stevens, assumed greater meaning to all who attended a national clay conference sponsored by Arrowmont School, September 9-12, 1992. The poem has lo n g been a favorite of writer Ellen Dissanayake, who is the aut h or of What is Art For? "This Poem," sh e said, "encapsulates one of my most essential ideas, that art is the act of making something special." It seemed particularly fitting, therefore, that Ellen give the keynote address at a pottery conference taking place in the wooded mountains of East T ennessee.
"Utilitarian Clay: Celebrate the Object" was a four-day event co mprised of seve n two-day workshops a nd two days of presentations by many of America 's best know n potters.

About the stimu lating four days, Conference Coordinator Bill Griffith said, " I found it exciting that the conference gave so many of the presenters the opportunity to meet for the very first time." H e also said that with 135 participants, the sma ll size of the conference turned o ut to be an asset. It fostered an intimacy among participants that is sometimes difficult to achieve during conferences of a larger scale.

Alumnae Input Guides Foundation
Member support is essential to the success of any organization. This is particularly true of a foundation which relies on the charitable generosity of its members With that in mind, the Pi Beta Phi Foundation developed Focus on the Future, a sophisticated grass roots survey format used to ascertain a reas where Pi Phis want the Foundation to support Fraternity progra mming.
Unlike paper surveys done via the mail, Focus sessions were held in 12 geograp hic regions with over 500 alumnae participating. Members invited to participate included those currently involved in Pi Phi activities as well as women with professional or community service credentials.
Focu s on the Future was conducted in fo ur phases by a co re group of leaders skilled in faCilitating and recording the input. All 23 sessions of Phase I had an identical agenda which elicited information regarding Pi Phi's role in our lives and where Pi Phi could make a difference in the future. Phase I developed six preliminary priorities for Fraternity and Foundation activity.
Phase II invited participants to reconvene and narrow these priorities to three. One person was then selected to attend the Phase III meeting in Dallas.
In Dallas, the regional representatives explained the rationale of their group's choices. By ballot vote, the representatives selected the three final program areas for Foundation support :
... Arrowmont
Ethics (programming for collegians and alumnae)
... Literacy (community service)
The final report was presented to Grand Council, Arrowmont Board of Governors and the Foundation Trustees.
What happens now? Several things are already being done.
The commitment to Arrowmont continues via the Campaign for
Arrowmont. The Campaign is nearly halfway to its $2.3 million goal to provide a dormitory, studios, and program endowment. Pi Beta Phi has been a leader in education and the arts for more than three quarters of a century through Settlement School and Arrowmont.
The Fraternity is developing programs in ethics and in literacy and will

make grant requests to the Foundation for funding. The Fall 1992 ARROW had a feature article on ethics. Links to Literacy is growing as a community service program for chapters and clubs.
All of these programs reinforce the fact that Pi Beta Phi is more than "just a college club" it is an association of women able to have a very positive influence on society.
Sororities Teach Skills
SPonsored by a Pi Beta Phi Foundation grant, Christine Kajikawa Wilkinson Ph.D., Arizona Beta, spoke at FORUM 2000, conducted by the National Panhellenic Conference o n October 24, 1992 in Indianapoli s, Indiana . Dr. Wilkinson, Vice President for Student Affairs and Associate Professor in education and leadership policies studies at Arizona State University, has been hon ored as an Outstandi n g Young Woman of America.
Forum 2000 allowed fraternity leaders and college Cldministrators to exchange ideas and discuss issues which campuses and collegiate fraternity members will face today and in the future. Dr. Wilkinson was well-qualified to discuss the skills we acquire as sorority women in the academic community that help prepare us for the challenges of the future. Her presentation was enhanced by her sensitive manner and her sense of humor.

It wasn't yet Thanksgiving, but it might have been Christmas for the Holt House Committee! On a rainy day this past November, committee members Elizabeth Davenport Garrels, chairman; Patricia McFarland Hook, secretary; Mary Ann Galusha Eiserman, treasurer; Jenne Gittings Robeson, Monmouth representative; and Alice Gill Goshorn, publicity chairman and Betty Blades Lofton, Grand Vice President of Philanthropies, gathered at Meling's Motel in Monmouth. The group was eager to make the short drive to Holt House to begin the meeting with hostess Margaret Cooper. All wou ld hear a report on the past year's activities at Holt House and make decisions about maintenance questions during the time together, but the first order of business was to climb the stairs to admire Holt House's newest historical treasure. In the upstairs hall was located a mahogany tall case clock with turned columns-a handsome grandfather clock- nearly tall enough to touch the ceiling. The clock seemed very much at home in its place outside the Founders' Room where it was re-assembled after its arrival at Holt House in March.
The Holt House Committee gratefully acknowledges the Pi Beta Phi Foundation's loan of this clock from the estate of Marianne Reid Wild, former Grand President Emeritus, to Holt House where all who visit may admire it.
Holt House i available fo r use by PI Phi chapters and alumnae clubs and for community gatherings, including meetings, wedding receptions, anniversary celebrations, showers, and other parties. Margaret Cooper , hostess, will be happy to make group reservations for weekdays or weekends. Those traveling near Monmouth who wish to stop in or to call in advance to arrange a visit, are always welcome. Weekda y visiting hours are from 1:00 to 5 :00 p .m .

Who Cares ... Alumnae Panhellenic Women Do!
Ina time when sorori ti es and fraternities are under fir e and scrutinized heavily by t he public and the press, Alumnae Panhellenics around the coun t ry continue to make a positive impact on today's society.
Alumnae Panhellenics both promote the fraternity system and improve
the Panhellenic image by giving service to local philanthropic projects, providing opportunities for fraternal sisterhood and award ing academic scholarships to university women.
In the past two years alone, Alumnae Panhellenics h ave awarded a half million dollars in academic financial aid to both Greek and n on-G reek women.
Carolyn Pavletich Lesh serves Pi Beta Phi as its representative to the National Panhellenic Conference Alumnae Panhellenic Committee and the Fraternity is proud of its alumnae serving currently as Alumnae Panhellenic Presidents in their respective communities.

Chapters Challenged to Consider a Changing Profile
Chri stine Kajikawa
Wilkinson, Ph.D.,Arizona Beta and Vice President for Student Affairs at Arizona State - University, was a featured speaker and panelist at Forum 2000:Visions Renewed, a special program sponsored by the National Panhellenic Conference as part of its fall 1992 Interim Session. Dr. Wilkinson's postforum thoughts are reprinted from the NPC publication, Viewpoint "Forum 2000, Vision Renewed! As a participant in the National Panhellenic Forum, I returned both energized and enthused about the future success of the fraternal system. The official delegates from across the United States openly shared in discussions toward a strategic plan to seek more effective approaches to their concerns, their hopes and vision for the system in the year 2000. The rich heritage of the Greek system will proVide the foundation for the changes that will need to be made as we all help to make a difference in the future female leadership of society.
Challenges Ahead
"One of the primary challenges facing the system is the need to address the changing profile of women students
on campus . Not on ly sho uld we be celebrating multi-culturalizm, we shou ld be embracing the idea throughout all chapters. What a re the chapters doing to b.ring about ethnic and cultural diversity among members?
"Secondly, the very nature of colleges today and the economic factors of attending college require many more students to be participating in internships, co-op programs and working What are the chapters doing to foster participation in these programs and work commitments and still engage the sisters in the sorority itself?
The Older Student
"Thirdly, urban institutions are finding a much larger age range of women attending and have begun to see an increasing interest in transfer students as well as non-traditional age women investigating the possibilities of the fraternal system. Should there be more consideration of these women for membership? How does that impact the type of rush chapters offer? These questions and others are ones that I heard being deliberated during the Forum and ones that are significant to the system.
"I applaud the National Panhellenic Conference's efforts to exemplify progressive leadership and look forward to a more inclusive and open environment that will continue to value the absolute positive quality of the Panhellenic traditions and values while building upon the success in preparation for a challenging and promising future."

The 26 member groups of the National Panhellenic Conference are represented by 2,8 73 collegiate chapters on more than 500 college and university campuses across the United States and Canada . This represents an increase in the pas t year alone of 57 new chapters, Panhe llenic expansion to 12 new campuses and an increase of almost 88,000 in co llegiate membership.
Dispelling charges of the system's pe nding demise from adversaries of fraterni ty life, National Panhellenic Conference statistics have shown a cont inual growth in collegiate membersh ip since 1973.
The College Panhellenics Committee of NPC gives guidance to its me mber campus Panhellenic Assoc iations , located wherever two or more fraternity chapters are chartered. Assis tance comes in the form of Area Advisors, through NPC publications, Gree k leadership workshops held regiona lly and, when appropriate, from Cons ulting Teams which provide recomme ndations for the specific needs of a campus association.

To celebrate the 125th anniversary of the founding of Pi Beta Phi, Canada's 125th birthday and the 75th anniversary of the establishment of the Whitehorse Library (a membe r of the library system supported through Arrow in the Arctic), a painting was presented by Canadian Philanthropies Chairman Helen Jull to hang in the new children's department of the Whitehorse. The painting, entitled "Blue Bird," was painted by Virginia Derryberry, an instructor at Arrowmont. This celebration exemplifies the common link of literacy and education that binds together the members of Pi Beta Phi and our philanthropic work throughout the world.
The Contra Costa County, California Alumnae Club is embracing Links to Literacy by providing a monthly story hour to children at the Battered Women's Alternative (BWA) transitional housing center. Story hours are offered to preschool, primary and preteen groups at the center, with emphasis placed on literature that portrays t h e variety of cultures represented at the BW A. Books are chosen by the Pi Phis, read to the children and then donated to the center. Alumnae club members who are unable to participate in the story hours show their Pi Phi spirit by donating books and other supplies directly to the Battered Women's Alternative. The fast growing children's library is a success with the center's children as well as their moms. The Contra Costa County Club looks forward to organizing a teen library at the BW A in the coming year.

The members of California D elta are making a positive difference in Los Angeles. The UCLA Pi Phis have been trained to tutor illiterate adults through "Project Pancake." These Pi Phi volunteers meet weekly at the Watts Library and the Mar Vista Housing Project to open the door of reading to adults living in the inner "City of Angels."
The Illino is B eta -D e ltas implemented Links to Literacy by organizing a reading hour for the children of faculty members at Knox College. The Saturday morning project has proven enriching for the children, the faculty parents and the Pi Phis of Knox College.
Members of the Manhattan Alumnae Club , in conjunction with
Volunteer Services for Children, serve as reading tutors for children in New York City . Pi Phis of New York City meet weekly with children ranging in ages from third grade to high school to help them with their literacy skills. The Pi Phi alumnae also accompany these children on special Saturday outings, designed to give the children opportunities to experience the educational and cultural aspects of New York with their mentors.
The Links to Literacy program at Oh io Univ e rsity has achieved one of its goals. Approximately 150 students in the Adult Basic Literacy Education (ABLE) program, with the help of the members of Ohio Alpha , received their GEDs. The Ohio Alphas have been tutoring their partners in ABLE
since the spring of 1990, seeing an increase in chapter participation every quarter. Each new Pi Phi tutor receives six hours of training, and then she is matched with a particular ABLE student. The class motto for this year's graduates was, "At last the light at the end of the tunnel." The Ohio Alphas were glad they could offer a little light through Links to Literacy.
T he San Francisco Alumnae Club ' s First Annual Book Drive resulted in over 400 books and magazine subscriptions collected for San Francisco area schools and charities. Recipients included Project Read and La Casa de las Madres, a shelter for battered women and their children. The project was so enthusiastically received that the club hopes to add to the coming year's Links to Literacy effort by establish ing a tutoring program to go along with an avalanche of books collected.
The Corpus Christi , Texas Alumnae Club has established a mobile library for patients of Driscoll Children's Hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas. Careful selection of materials allows the rolling library to furnish books that appeal to children of all ages. Children and parents may check out books twice daily as the mobile book cart passes through the patient towers.
One of the many ways the Virginia Epsilons build their relationship of service with their local community is through tutoring underprivileged children at the Westhaven Community Center. The Pi Phis at the U niversity o f V irginia also provide the Westhaven boys and girls with fun and tender loving care through the various parties and carnivals they organize for them.
The past year has seen wonderful advancements in Was hington Gamma's Links to Literacy program. To name a few ... chapter member Shay Bright mobilizes Pi Phis and other volunteers to tutor illiterate adults through Tacoma's Community House. The volunteers tutor in two areas, Adult Basic Literacy and English as a Second Language. Countless Washington Gammas volunteer weekly at McCarver and Roosevelt Elementary Schools helping children of various ages read and write. Over ten Pi Phis at the University of Puget Sound participate in Kids Can Do, a mentor program to keep children in school so they can learn and succeed in life.
Washington Gamma will continue all of these programs by increasing their volunteerism throughout the year. In addition, the chapter continues to search for new and creative ways to support Links to Literacy.
The program for Des Moine s, Iowa Alumnae Club 's October meeting focused on literacy. To the club's delight, Iowa Eta pledges were present along with guests from Drake University's Reading Learning Program. The literacy coordinator from Drake University, a tutor trainer and three new adult readers shared information and personal stories with the Pi Phis. Mary Ryan Lampright said that the goals for the evening were three-fold: To raise awareness about illiteracy, to recruit more tutors and to combine efforts of alumnae and Iowa Eta active members and pledges in order to bring much needed campus and community recognition and support to the Drake Adult Literacy Program.
The Lafayette, Ind iana Alumn ae Club has been working to promote literacy in their community for more than two years. In Febru ary of 1991, a speaker from the Lafayette Reading Academy introduced the Lafayette Alumnae Club to the community's dire need for literacy support. Included in the program was a remarkable young (formerly fundamentally illiterate) woman who told the club of her involvement with the academy She astounded the group with her remarkable success and ability to act as a speaker for the academy. Since that time, several members of the club have become active volunteers at the academy and the club has contributed a small monetary gift to assist in the ongoing success of the academy. In March

Pi Beta Phi Ritual Study Committee Reports
The Pi Beta Phi Ritual Study Committee, appointed by Grand Council and consisting of four collegians and four alumnae, met in Central Office the end of October to tabulate and evaluate the results of the Ritual Study surveys submitted by clubs, chapters and individuals. Eighty-nine chapters; 171 alumnae clubs, junior and evening groups, and Pi Phi Pockets; and 91 individuals completed the Ritual Study surveys This repre sents over 7,000 members of the Fraternity who participated in the survey. Responses reflected serious, often soul -searching discussion and introspective thought on the part of all groups. The Ritual Study Committee is deeply grateful to all who responded so thoughtfully. The cooperation of so many Pi Phis has been invaluable . The report of the Ritual Study Committee with the Committee's recommendation for consideration at Convention is being sent to all chapters, alumnae clubs, evening and junior groups and Pi Phi Pockets as well as to national and province officers. Any member not in a club area wishing to see a copy of the report may obtain one by contacting Central Office. Requests for a copy of the 1991-93 Ritual Study Committee Report should be addressed as follows:

The members of the Ritual Study Committee represent a wide geographical range, a variety of religious backgrounds, and broad diversity of thought regarding the ritual. The recommendation of the Committee followed some intense, very open and honest discussion, with the members continually keeping in mind what was felt to be in the best interest of the Fraternity.
During deliberations, the Committee referred often to the Fraternity's history and words of the Founders as well as to many moving comments written by taday's members . The Ritual Study Committee firmly believes its recommendation as a result of the Study is in accord with the his toric intent of the Founders while recognizing the needs of taday's membership.

Texas Alpha Dr . Jennifer Mood y is the recipient of a MacArthur Fellow ship . This award brought with it $ 235 ,000 to be u se d in h e r wo rk o f arc ha e ology. Th e Ma c Arthur Fo unda ti on b e lie ves in th e powe r of th e ind ivi dual to c o ntri bu te good to the American way of life. Th ey think of th e Fellowship as "a peculiarly American award." With that in min d , the MacArthur Fe ll ows P rogram was esta blis h e d in 1981.
Dr. Jennifer Alice Moody has been honore d with the prestigious MacArthur Fellowship Award. Her citation reads "for extraordinary accomplishments in prehistoric archaeo logy which demon trates originali t y, dedication to creative pursuits a nd ca pacit y for self-d ire ct ion." Her awa rd is for a total of $235,000 to be paid ove r a fiveyear period. The amount of mo ne y given each recipient is based so lel y on age. The younger one is, the s mall er the um will be - ranging from $150,000 to $375,000. Jennife r was 36 years old.
An irrevocable fellowship, it carries with it no ob lig ation to re po rt to the MacArthur Fou nd atio n o n the work done or what is being do n e with the money. Their philosophy is that there is n o expecta ti on that t he recipient's work will ret ai n its pre e nt form or direction. In stead, the Director of the MacArthur Fell ows Pr og ram Kenneth H ope states a simple h ope, "that the five year period whe n monie s are provided by the Foundatio n will lead to discoveries or ot her co ntributions to society that otherwise might n o t be made ." Adele Simmons , Pre s ident of the MacArthur Fo undation, comments, "The creative person is at the heart of a soc iety's capacity to impr ove the hum a n condition." Th e awa rd is a n unfette red c h ance to c reate some thin g good for hum a nkind.
Since it is a ge nuine "no s tring s attached" award, it has been like n ed to the Nobel Prize. H oweve r th e focus of the MacArthur Fell ows hip is q uite different. It honors not on ly past accomplishments but demonstrates t h e gr eat potentia l of that particular ind ividua l in the fu tur e.
Thi s petite, soft-spoke n, fun-l oving, multi-t a lented yo ung scie nti st is deeply involved in multi-di scip linary e nd eavors. She is persistent. S he is thorough. She is e nthu sias ti c. S h e is loo kin g for th e big picture but she is eage r to loo k at the little pictu re s th a t comp ri se it- a t ask not many peop le are willing to undertake. Th o ugh archaeo logy, hi storica l ecology, geography, geo logy, anthropo logy a nd botany are her disciplines, she is profic ie nt in art, writing, lecturing, and teac hin g. he is a published archaeological artistillu trator, author of many publ ished profeSSional papers and now has a book under preparation.
Jennifer is a native Texan, born in Fort Worth but g rew up in Manhasset, New York. She graduated with honors from Friends Academy, Locust Va ll ey, New York. he is the daughter of Evelyn Wilie Moody, a g raduate of the University of T exas, Austin, a T exas Alpha Pi Beta Phi, a consulting geo log ist in H ousto n Tex as a nd the late John D. Moody, who was also a geo logist.
T exas beckoned and Jennifer returned to earn her bachelors degree in three years, with honor, in classics and anthropo logy from the Un ive rsity of Texas, Austin. There she wa also a Texas Alpha Pi Beta Phi and wa e lected to Phi Beta Kappa. Her rna ters and doctors degrees in a n c ie nt stud ies were conferred by the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. Her dissertation re ea rch wa done in northwest C rete, Greece o n the enviro nm e nt a l a nd cultural prehistory of the Kh a ni a re gio n o f we t C ret e, Greece which is a lso the title o f this three volume, s ix hundred page tr ea tise. It directly reflect s the determined commitment o f the au th or to find every possible piece o f the puzzle Her tools a re h e r wellle a rned di sc ipline s, h e r creativeness a nd her energy.
The N;Jt io n cd Science Fo undat io n a nd the UniverSity o f Minn e o t a nurtured thi le n gt h y graduate researc h with various gra nt s and the Rush Fellowship. H oweve r , in o rd er to support her scho larly habit, she wo rk ed in many positions. Th ey ranged from a systems ana lyst and computer programmer for Sout hw estern Bell's Petroleum Division, Houston, Texas, a lec ture r at the U ni verSity of La Verne, Khania, C rete, Greece, a re ea rch a i tant for three different departments at the University of Minnesota a nd for the geog rap h y department at Camb rid ge University, England to h ostessi n g in a German restaurant for five years in Minneapolis, Minnesota a nd a freela n ce a rti st
Scholar, tudents, co ll eag ues, friends, a nd family joined Je nnife r from time to time o n her doctor' dissertation project in C rete. The adventures were end less a nd so was the information. Th e big picture of ancient peoples, vegetation, landscapes, geologic history, climates and social structures slowly emerged The region wa finally recreated. It wa a big o rder , a lo ng haul and an exciting finish!
There, during this time, the dream began. Jennifer felt there was a great need for a place on the island of Crete where sc h o lars of different disciplines who were st ud yi n g Crete cou ld meet , di sc uss, exchange or compare ide as a nd correlate information- a sort of an interdisciplinary reference center. She would t a lk about it for hours with her friends and colleagues everywhere, searching for a solution to make it a reality. She was a young woman with a big dream and very little money Actually, Jennifer was beginning to be a good fit for the MacArthur Fellowship but she certainly did not know it!
When she received her doctors degree in 1987, she was already co-directing the Vrokastro archaeological survey in east Crete and began another in the Sphakia region of west Crete along with a botanical survey near the town of Grevena in mainland northwest Greece that same year. The next year her association commenced with Cambridge University, England supported by the European Community. The Institute for Aegean Prehistory in New York has continued to provide generous and much appreciated support for these productive post-doctoral surveys, but there is always a scramble fo r enough money each year.
In her research, Jennifer ha s perfected her own brand of archaeological surveying. She hikes in a designated st raight line over present surfaces (hills, valleys, streams, plains, mountains, cliffs or beaches) to an appointed place on a map .

Jennifer began teaching env ironmental and experimental a rch aeology in 1991 at Baylor University, Waco, Texas and finds it invigorating. Winters and springs are spent in Bosque County of central T exas in her new home, H og Wild, with her husband, Wick Dossett, by the side of a creek close to her family's ranch. Summers and falls are busy in Greece, mostly on the island of Crete, working on several on-going archaeological

surveys and conduct in g study projects o n Mediterranean climate and endangered land scapes for Cambridge University, England, a nd the European Community.
The MacArthur Fellowship monies have given great vigor to all o f this action. The award was designed to do just that. Its goal is to give exceptionally talented people at any age the opportunity to pursue their accomplishments for the good of society (so far winners have been eighteen to eighty-two) in any discipline without the worry of self-support or reporting on work for five years.
The method of selecting the MacArthur Fellows is almost as creative as the people who receive them. There are no applications, no specific quota of disciplines, no specific number of winners and no specific date of announcements However, there are a few hard and fast rules which govern each choice
The two restrictions are: (1) Recipients must be American citizens or residing in the United States. (2) Recipients must not be holding a public office.
The three criteria are: (1) The quality, the extent of creativity, and the promise shown by the person's work. (2) The monet ary need by which the fellowship would make a difference in a person's work. (3) The importance of this person's work for the benefit of society.
The proce ss begins each year when the MacArthur program invite s from 100 to 125 nomin a t ors to identify persons who have the capacity for creativity and for makin g important contributions ro society. The nominarors remain totally anonymous, have no meetings and serve only for one year. They are experts in their fields who represent many different disciplines as well as many areas around the country. These " t a lent scouts" submit their nominations directly to the Foundation. Nominations from any other source are not accepted.
Files on these nominations are privately developed by assistant directors of the MacArthur Foundation through every possible avenue. The completed files are given to the Selection Committee, another ten or fifteen anunymous experts who meet eight or nine times a year. The Selection
Committee makes decisions as a unified group.
Approved files from the Selection Com mitt ee are passed to the Board of Directors of the MacArthur Foundation who become very familiar with the candidates through their thorough investigations. The candidates are never awa re of thi s, nor do they ever meet the Board. There is n o timetable for the completion of a file. So far it has taken from eight month s to three years, with a few discarded or set aside.
The Director of the MacArthur Fell ows Program makes the announcement o f who and how many people a re chosen to be MacArthur Fellows Usually there is a vast element of surprise among the recipients- if they can be found. He had a hard time finding Jenn ifer!
The director finally tracked her t o Anopolis, a tiny remote mountain village in the southwest part of Crete. This village is one of Jennifer' s several bases for her Sphakia survey project. That day she was racing around preparing her colleagues, students and donkeys for a lengthy backpackin g trek to the top of the White Mountains where they would camp and do survey work for ten days
There is only one teleph one in An opo lis and it is located in the ru st ic village inn where the group was hou se d . When it rang, a man sa id he was Kenneth Hope from Chicago and must speak to Dr. Jennifer Alice M oo dy The su rpri se was complete when she finally t oo k the phone a nd told h im he h ad the wrong number and she didn't know anyone in Chicago! Dr. H ope persisted and Jennifer was told she had won the prestigious MacArthur Fellowship Award a prize of $235,000! What excitement there was that night in that little village perched on the side of the White Mountains towering 8000' above the Mediterranean Sea.
At the moment, Jennifer is in the middle of her five-year fellowship and has made great progress. Her dream, although not yet actualized, her work, her quality of creativity and her loyalty to commitment run at a feverish pace, but she always has time for her family, her students, her colleagues and her friend all over the world. Yes, the MacArthur Fell ows hip is making an impressive difference in Jennifer' s work and in her life as well. All will be realized in due time- especially her dream.
