Doug Cutchins, the director of Social Commitment, announced Grinnell’s four nominees for the $25,000 Watson Fellowship. Up to 50 fellowships will be awarded. Winners spend one year pursuing a topic of interest abroad, during which time they are forbidden to enter the United States. Grinnell’s nominees are:
• Alvin Irby ’07. Irby’s proposal “Hooked: Cultural Transformation and the Global Evolution of Crocheting,” would have him travel to Australia, Guatemala, West Cameroon, Ireland and Jamaica.
• Katie Jares ’07. If chosen, she will study “Forgiven: The Social Impact of Christian Prison Ministries” in Trinidad and Tobago, the Bahamas, Zambia, The Gambia, Fiji and Northern Ireland.
• Dale Mackey ’07. She is proposing a trip to Ireland, England, Germany and Australia to examine “Artistic Liberties: An Exploration of Theatre in Prison.”
• Sarah Parker ’07. Her trip would take her to Botswana, South Africa and Namibia to research “The Impact of African Marimba on Youth Education and Culture.”
Detailed profiles of the four nominees will follow in our next issue.

Are there any updates on Paul? Is the search still going on in Iowa? There should be an article on the leads that the police are looking into.
The police and the college are giving us updates when they choose to. However much we students want to know what's happening, authorities don't like to release information about ongoing investigations and do so rarely. Rest assured, we haven't forgotten about Paul and will continue to press for any information we can.
good luck to all candidates. all the proposal summaries sound wonderful. i'm especially interested in the projects proposed by katie jares and dale mackey. high time for someone to give us a different look at prisons.
