By JIM WANNAMAKER di
Managing Editor it
Two awards capped a summer of t4
expansion for the Metropolitan a
Education Foundation (MEF). b
The expansion had its tension, e
though.
The latest is a $2,500 award from h
the S.C. Reconciliation Fund that
enabled the foundation to break V
even with its summer program.
The other was a citation in the F
1969 Lane Bryant Volunteer
Awards competition. MEF is now
eligible for final judging which
determines the winners of two
$5,000 awards.
The $2,500 award was made by
members of the United Methodist
Church of the General Conference
of 1785 through a fund organized
following the death of Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr.
MEF was nominated for the
volunteer award by University
President Thomas F. Jones for its
work in the area of voluntary
community service.
The organization was founded in
1968 following the death of King by
a group of USC students and
faculty members along with a
group of Columbia businessmen.
All of the founders saw a
possibility of relieving some of the
city's problems through
educational and recreational
programs.
The Lane Bryant Awards
program is designed to recognize
voluntary service in areas such as
conservation, recreation, better
housing, exercise of voting rights i
and cultural enrichment.
During the past summer MEF
sponsored a day camp for children
from 6 to 12; an athletic program
featuring swimming, archery,
bowling, tennis and gymnastics for
the 13 to 16 age group; music.

Bob Alexander, acting MEF
firector. said. "We have learned
mough over the last two years to
)e much more professional in our
ipplication." He added that he
meant "professional not in a bad
3ense.
"There were some problems--the
tension of expansion--but even with
the tension problems. I think it was
a fair success."
"The emphasis was on the in
volvement of the people of the
community in making decisions
and on expanding the development
Df community organization and
education.
"We expanded the number of
~ommunity representatives on the
>oard of directors to more than
oken representation."
Another problem was the lack of
nitial response by the business
'ommunity in a drive to place 1.000
'olumbia youth in summer and
>art-time jobs.
Three businessmen and about
wo dozen disappointed MEF and
Vational Association of

By the end of the summer,
owever. 350 youths had been
mrployed through the Hire-A-Teen
rogram operated by MEF with
he aid of a $29.000 grant from the
Iichland-Lexington OEO.
Also funded with the grant were
